Di Canio Fascist racist, perfect fit. alleged ITK on SMB who broke Bruce and MoN reckons it's sorted.

Clocks should go forwards at 1.00 pm on a working Monday (after lunch) IMO

He left becasue he was a footballer approaching the last year of his contract and thus held all the cards, it was £££'s plain and simple.

And the outgoings in terms of real cash in dividends etc

But affordable this time. It's all good We've done our slash and burn cost cutting, everyone else outside the mega bankrolled/rich still have to, great position to be in. So long as we stay up obviously.

I doubt they even think about it, if they want to buy someone and they have the cash at the time, they do, if they don't, they'll flog someone to make up the shortfall at the time they want to make the purchase. What the sold player cost when he was bought won't enter into it.

To be honest, whilst the challenge was a disgrace, I'm as pissed off about the handball and that seems to be getting forgotten

Be canny fun getting a running breakdown of a game as it goes on from Carr mind.

Not reactionary at all in my case, thought like this for ages. No effect on the game if a player gets really hurt and ref knows he didn't catch it and then asks to see it whilst treatment's happening. Goals should also be reviewed IMO More and more results are being screwed by refereeing blunders, it needs to get fixed. Some of this stuff is not even close !!! This is the VERY top of the game we are talking about and it is badly broken. Where do you stop ?? you stop when it gets put right. Two games results yesterday were directly changed by bad decisions, decisions which weren't even close tbh

You could review goals and tackles causing injuries without even interupting the game, can't see why they don't, it'd take seconds.

I reckon the game's getting away from referee's, two games (us and the mackems) yesterday had the results hugely influenced by the ref's wrong decisions and although I didn't see it [/Wenger] there's also been some stuff floating around about a Felliani hand ball in the Everton game. It's all getting a bit of a lottery tbh

It shouldn't have mattered either way, challenging player was offside. Don't think there's a spawnier bunch than that lot down the road tbh.

I think it definitley hit his arm, but never a pen as the player that made him make the attempted block was coming back from 2 yards offside.

All teams with equal income = parity = anyone could win stuff. Prize money should be equally split, the "honour/reward" should be in the winning, maybe matchday income kept apart. Something needs to be done or the EPL (and CL for that matter) is going to remain the current procession it is.

Looks good Meenzer. The Mrs has become a devotee of Mary Berry's recipe's. We've been having great cakes for a few weeks now She made some chewy fudge cookies yesterday, they didn't make it past 7pm

Thinly sliced rump steak's been marinading overnight in rice wine vinegar, light soy, garlic, ginger and a couple of finely chopped birdseye chillies. Rice cooked last night to the point of just having a tiny litte bit bite left, tubbed up when cool, ready to stir fry in sesame oil with a few baby peas and chopped spring onions chucked in and beaten egg of course. (Home made fried rice is the dog's tbh) Can't decide whether to just have beef fried rice or to do the beef with black pepper or chilli sauce. hmmmmmmmm.

Pardew said he'd trained fully for the two weeks before, passed all the tests, HBA and the medical staff all thought he was OK.

It's not amateur shite, it's professional shite, surgery is always a last resort if natural healing could work..

I wouldn't be surpirsed if we did, just twigged I'll be on hols in the US when the final happens Was the same when we did Barca in the CL!!!!!

Shit!!! I agree with Stevie (apart from the Pardew on my tits bit).

Games I've watched there's been a hell of a lot less dying swan than we see every week tbh

I fear a score draw, we're due one.

Of course they are meaningful, I work in a "globalisation'd" environment for fucks sake. Unpalateable as it may seem to a "textbook warrior", I see this shit happening, I've done this shit for a living for the thick end of 20 years, I am responsible for, and have been responsible for multi million $$$ budgets that buy this type of shit, and those budgets are built up from the best bang for your buck available from anywhere on the planet and the technology makes the "anywhere on the planet" easier and easier. There's a hell of a lot of difference between the invention of the seed drill/cotton jenny/steam engine and the at the time alternative employment opportunities "in the cities or industries". The burgeoning technology that replaces the need for folks also allows the residual activities, that do need folks, to be done in any place on the face of the planet for much less cash. The "west" is screwed. To think otherwise is sheer folly.

Aye that's a mass employment winner, which also when delivered replaces even more folks with even cleverer technology. 25 years ago I ran a department of 36 folks, within 3 years that number was down to 15, producing the same volume of work quicker/better simply by the adoption of rudimentary technology (which it was really rudimentary in those days, pre windows and a PC on everyone's desk). There were thirteen similar departments throughout the country, two years later that was all centralised and the whole UK operation was run with less than the 36 I originally had. When you need to provide bums on seats, or hands on work, the UK "worker" cannot compete and technology itself drives down the need for bums on seats/hands on in the first place. That's the root of the problem not some left/right airy fairy bollocks and I certainly don't know what the answer is.

That would have made it fekt not fact
