All things being equal, I think.
Although that in itself, is not a given

I did have to Google it I confess. However if you are alluding to any mental deficiency or lack of knowledge on my part, well, casus belli. :-)

Lol. No, no, no. It was something I actually knew, but hopeless at Latin tbf.

In fact, I had to GOOGLE 'casus belli'

So, we are not going to war just yet!! ;)

If you do, I’m sure you’ll both show superbia in proelio.

oh dear just been over to the cafe for a snoop and the locals down at swampland are getting a little restless over incoming transfers, now the paper boy apparently quoted as saying all transfers done and dusted for July 1st and nothing in post that date as that's when the team come back, one even suggests they are being hoodwinked until season ticket deadline day passes but that cant be right can it?

Hope not. If it is the grand punctuation war I suspect you will have the upper hand my friend. BTW I have Schotts dictionary of trivia or whatever it is called to thank for that, albeit I did Google to check the spelling of Casus.

Very good.

They'll be alright when Wesley Schneider rocks up. All will be forgotten. Again.

Flanked by Fabregas and Bale, they could sign Messi at this moment in time and it still wouldn’t make an ounce of difference to that shit show.

Can’t see them finishing above any of the the teams above them from last season and would be piss funny if Wolves, Leicester and Everton got their shit together and put them down even further.

I can see that happening if donut thief fucks off. He has saved them 10-15 points every season he's been there.

How did it go this wrong this quickly? A novice in charge and a complete dogs dinner of a squad needing major surgery and owners that probably don’t want to do it.

The shit thing is that the paper boy will be gone at Christmas and they'll probably get someone better in. That managers job is turning into a poisoned chalice.

I love the fact that Sky are reporting that Palace have turned down the bid for Ban Wissaka as they feel the add on's are unrealistic and unlikely to be triggered.
Add on's linked to appearances would seem quite simple so I can't see that being an issue and I can't imagine they are things like winning the Ballon D'or.

You can only assume it means the add on's are linked to silverware and Palace are therefore saying the Rags aren't good enough :)

I can't see them letting him go, they have built him up so much and Woodwood will look a lemon if another manager fails.

He'll use the fans as an excuse,stating he only gave them what they wanted.

Started off with Moyes booting out Fergie's backroom staff and installing his own. From there they have been in constant transition. A bit like we were under Swales except they have money to spend. And spend they have yet they are still in transition, constantly trying to play catch up. Only this time with a rookie manager. I'm fuckin' loving their demise.

It could be something as simple as triggering a payment on say 20 appearances rather than 30?

Palace want 70 million and an buy back clause of £2.50 when he flops and put up for sale next year.

My latin is not quite up to snuff but is that something to do with parking the chariot?

It is.

 

[DrBlueBob]

It is.
