Remember hearing about it at the time but there wasn't a lot made of it.

The Lords can only delay the passing of acts of Parliament, CT.

Good outcome at least.

See?

That's not what I was saying. I don't think anyone else was either. Not sure how an Englishman regarding the current England side as second rate is arrogant either. We're widely regarded in the media etc.as a 'quarter final side', but we've only managed that once in the last four major tournaments (and we didn't even qualify for one of those). If we made the last 8 or better on a fairly consistent basis you could possibly call us 'top tier' or whatever but we've only bettered that three times in our history and two of those occasions were on home soil. That's excepting our good record in the Olympics, which was the de facto world championship before the World Cup existed.

You're that thick you don't even realise what a hypocrite you are

And he hasn't even shine in a poor side. Certainly not on a consistent basis anyway.

Just speculating obviously but I'd be surprised if he was on that much. Your reasoning is fair enough like so who knows?

Chez will not have known what result he wanted last night

What do reckon McClaren was on at Derby? Not a huge amount and for a bit more plus a crack at a top flight club again I don't think he'll be on big wages (in Premier League terms). Charnley's a similar case with the importance of his position and the wages he'll be on I reckon.

I think the manager is an issue like. Not suggesting it's the only one by any means but we continue to employ people on the cheap in the most important role at the club.

They've obviously never tried sledging down it

And the Metro

Has Adele got a new album like? FFS

They were no Wings like

It's also difficult for a 70-odd year old bloke to be the entire world-wide scouting network for a PL club.

:lol:

The sozzled prick probably forgot he'd written the first one.

Ferguson'll finally have some end product to his delivery

Qualification is a piece of piss now tbh. Teams are, quite rightly, judged on how they do at tournaments. Second rate is probably more apt.
