It seems to me the welfare system has spawned generations for whom sitting on their arse and claiming benefits is a way of life and yet they still complain they're hard done to. It also provides a safety net for Somali immigrants to prepare bombs to terrorize the populace. In between these extremes are people genuinely in need who would literally starve to death without state aid. Plainly the uk cannot afford to fund hand outs on an epic scale and it infuriates taxpayers when times are hard to see some twat in a tracksuit looting small businesses which will never recover. However I would worry that any root and branch reform is going to hit the genuinely needy whilst rightly targetting work shy chavs who prefer to while away the day by smoking blow and playing on the xbox. It's a tough thing to get right I reckon.

Unfortunately the wealthy are well advised and mobile. You can put taxes up all you like, it doesn't mean the rich will pay more in practice.

Yuk

As Stevie said a while back, potentially the first player to get booed at his own testimonial. Isnt be becoming a bit of cult figure now? Or is that just me? Is cult a typo?

Sacre bleu!

I wonder if perch knows the French for "you're shit" and "why are you in the team?"

Not sure whether Upson is still any good but would like to see us get an experienced CB in (not a Sol Campbell type knacker though). Obviously we can't afford to do this.... 14 mill for Pavyluchenko is mental imo. Can't see us paying the fee or signing a 30 year old for that matter.

It's because they're cheap

No Ben Arfa? Or do you mean for Arsenal? He'll be on the subs bench, man

I'm looking forward to this lad signing. Hopefully this means Pardew will drop Gutti and play Ferguson instead. Then all we need is a new striker and we'll have a mint team! Krul New RB Collo New CB Pieters Obertan Tiote Cabaye Ferguson Ba New Striker And the great thing is only 2 of those players were in the team last season! Yay! Go team positive!

Sorry, sammynb ... I couldn't help myself. In the second line you've both tolerated the incorrect spelling of 'perfectly' and the use of 'possibility' instead of 'possible' I want you to know I'm not angry so much as disappointed...... Jesus, you're right ... and I'm a book editor. The mind turns off when I'm on the net.

Good advice imo. Contesting the fine is pointless unless you've got evidence otherwise, best to pay up and move on if you can live with it.

This thread is like wandering into a parallel universe

Bristol? Really? Never thought of Bristol as a hotspot of insurrection. When I posted yesterday asking when this mindlessness was going to spread, Bristol was one of the places I was going to list as potential hot spots (no pun intended). Like most cities these days, the place is a nest of pikey cun The fact, which I believe 100%, is that these youths up and down the country are just waiting for the first shop window to be put out. Good thing for us that 99.9% of these cretins don't have the balls to be the one who chucks the first brick. They see smashing windows, looting and setting fire as a bit of fun. They would love nothing more than for it to happen where they are. Arseholes. St Paul's in Bristol was a scene of anti-thatcher rioting at the same time as the Briston riots iirc

Top stuff, well done CT

Good news. Good buy. Guess this means Enrique will be away in the next few days then. Guess this means it's a rumour. Maybe but one which holds some truth. We scouted him a couple of months back. I'd imagine about 4mil. Good for you. Given we've been linked with all and sundrey over the last few weeks, and no signing has materialised yet, I'll wait until he's signed before I crack out the Pomagne and Pringles in celebration. I think Pieters, that french kid and obertan will be confirmed this week. No striker. True. But Pieters looks to be a similar kind of fuck as Riise. Tidy player, young and massive resale value. What French kid?

Better than Shane Ferguson or a makeshift LB from Gutti, Kadar etc? That seems to be the alternative.....

Are you happy now? This is what you wanted, you so-called accountant. Sorry, Leazes wasn't here so I thought I'd chip in for him. You forgot to mention Souness and add a smiley. Are you happy now? This is what you wanted, you so-called accountant. Like your man Souness, who you supported, regardless of how much money he spent.

Sounds familiar.....
