That's a disease, isn't it? Used to be called Australasia iirc Think I was getting it confused with the Southern Lights like.

Isn't Oceania sometimes called Australiasis or something equally as cack?

7 minutes away!? How on earth do you get fans. Was Lewes once on like FM 08 when they were in the BS South, would come down if I was off to the Brighton game

Agreed. The more involved he feels the less he'll wanna go to his fat mate and say 'Yeah that 500k deal for Tiote, spot on

UEFA REVEAL CLUBS' £1.3bn LOSSES Europe's top-flight clubs have reported annual losses totalling a jaw-dropping 1.6billion euros (£1.3billion), UEFA's latest club licensing report has revealed. The latest figures, for 2010, show overall losses from the leading leagues around the continent are up from 1.2billion euros (£1bn) the year before - a 36% rise. UEFA's said there were some positive changes including a 6.6% rise in overall income, a small drop in the proportion of clubs' revenue going on players' wages, and an increase in the number of home-grown players in the Champions League. The European governing body said the findings of the club licensing benchmarking report will take on "an increasing significance" with the financial fair play rules starting to be measured from this season and implemented for European competitions in the 2013/14 season. A UEFA statement said: "The need for financial fair play measures and strong governance is strongly emphasised by the report findings. "Whilst the level of losses was one of a number of warning signs that confirms the need for football to act, there were some improvements with the 64% percentage of income spent on employee costs, representing a small decrease on the previous year after four years of rising percentages." -
Cheers, aye obviously Shepherd was only chairman but his influence was a bit more than the likes of the pseudo-Chairman you get nowadays. I can tell you obviously care about the club etc so I don't get why many people call for you to be banned and things, just think you should be enjoying the Indian Summer while it lasts more Leazes.

I reckon the second would be the case Rikko, with the other election having such a low turnout it'd be even more of a minority government, could have ended up in a Belgium situation. All the parties would try point scoring with policies, it's a shame too because as you say if it was a minority government and went with your first idea it'd be quite a good system.

Leazes, few questions, not being horrible or anything I just want to know your opinion. 1. Let's say we sold a player, let's say Ba for 50 million, obviously wouldn't happen but let's say we did. We then spen 20 million of that 50 million on 5 class players who make the squad better, would you be happy? 2. If that team then won the league, what'd your opinion be? 3. Do you really think we should be spending more money at the minute? If so, how much and on who? 4. I personally believe that we should spend bit by bit as a way of steadily increasing our team. 10 million when needed on Cisse for example rather than spunking it when not needed just because we have it. Would you rather we went 25 million by the end of January on players we may not arguably need or would you rather the bank balance be fully in the black and have the money to spend if say in July a great new player becomes available for cheap. 5. I also think that it's hard to compare the current owners with Freddy since the games changed so much. What are your opinions on this belief? I personally see two reigns of Ashley, one of idiocy leading the relegation, and one which starts in July 09 which is admittedly stringent, but which is slowly getting us on the rise. To clarify i'm not particularly pro-Ashley or anti-Ashley, I just want the best for the team and if Ashley gained 25 mill a season in transfers but as a squad we improved i'd be happy. You may not share my view but i'm sure you understand it.

Oh definitely, I appreciate many voters won't want to vote for them and I understand, especially the students who make up such a large proportion of their core support. Like I said though I still think i'll probably vote for them (unless any other party 'woo's me' or anything). Don't think they'll come out from this well at all but I don't see myself voting for Labour or Conservatives purely because a party I like more won't get in, I know some see it as a wasted vote but even so.

If Senegal win the tournament can we invite Dembgoals to England to lead the chanting at St. James' Park?

You may not be aware, but football is kind of a big deal in Africa, and most Africans care just a bit about their national sides. That's without even addressing the rest. The African federation wants to hold it in January - that's their right. End of tbh. Nah, they're too busy starving/losing limbs/being terrorists/ruining other peoples' countries/fleecing us/committing genocide to care about football. I hate the ACN's timing too mate but fucking hell
-
Well in the grand scheme of things, is it that important? That's my point. It's like the whole abortion thing in American politics, it's a fringe issue that is being put to the forefront. Anyone who votes a party purely based on their opinions on tuition fees needs to look more at the grand picture. Like you say, i'm alright Jack, any students that think "I don't care about anything else will they make my fees cheaper" is delusional and only cares about themselves. Anyway like I said I probably will vote Lib Dems, but not only do issues matter but the people standing for my local seat (obviously). If it's still Cleethorpes it's a tricky one, the Conservative who's just taken control is a nobhead, and the bint that he ousted was one of 'Blairs Babes' (despite the fact she's gross), they're both shite and I guess it depends who the Lib Dems/other parties/Labour if anyone else put up for election.
-
Oh and for the record, I think the tuition changes are fair, people complain about them hurting the poor, but the poorest get the first two years paid for them, so people in situations like mine are actually better off, if i'd have gone to Uni under the new situation i'd have been better off than I am now so why should I be complaining with what they're doing? People say it was a key pledge, but that was more because admittedly a lot of students vote for the Lib Dems, and the Lib Dems said they wouldn't raise fees. However Conservatives didn't say they wouldn't raise fees, and it's not as if the Lib Dems with their 9% of seats can swagger into parliament, say they want this, that and everything and expect it. They're the minority party in this coalition and are pretty much subordinate to the Conservatives, however they are keeping them in check and everything they do get right is met with a "WELL WHAT ABOUT TUITION FEES" response. Labour in 1997 said they'd have a referendum on the voting system, but they didn't, loads of different policies that every party does don't end up in fruition, and it's unfair on the Lib Dems using this one policy against them tbf.
-
Sure, and since i've just started University you'd think so too. But i'm not basing my entire ideology on one tiny issue, who am I, an American Republican?
-
Well I didn't vote last time anyway since I was 17. I don't give a shit about tuition fees so that compromise made no difference to me, if all parties had similar manifestos to last time then i'll vote Lib Dems, and since none ever change that much I presume it'll be Lib Dems. I mean i'm 99.99% sure I won't vote Labour but if they promised something I liked of course i'd do it, it's just very unlikely.
-
Cheers Semi i'll give it a go

Cheers mate! Been meaning to start playing for years, bought an acoustic the other day because I heard once you master them electrics easier to get into, and the opposite is hardly ever true. Just playing about with the G and C chords thinking i'm some sort of Jimi Hendrix . My goal is by a yearish being able to play Horrorshow by The Libertines which is probably one of if my my favourite song like.
-
Learning guitar is so embarrassing when you're such a noob and find it hard switching between basic chords ffs
-
Will judge on individual manifestos but will probably be Lib Dems. Theyre closest to my ideology and whilst I understand people being angry with them for the coalition I think there was very little else they could do. In the situation the nations in we need governance and imo having no coalition would have been worse. If I believe anyone else is the better option at the time i'll vote for them though. I hate people that follow parties as if theyre a football team. 'Tories/Labour are great and everything the others do is wrong' Nerh

Of course muggers can be reformed. Let's say it's their first offence and they did it because they're poor and were led to it. Obviously the wrong thing to do but its about educating them and making sure they dont do it again. You don't kill a mugger. If you did you'd be a murderer... and would thus by your own rulings deserve to swing
