Mind control.

Sounds like Aulas is claiming that OM are behind the break down of the deal from OL. If the agents stop him from leaving now, the player goes on a free next year and OM get him. The agents then can command a higher fee as there is no transfer fee.!

If you include Gouffran as a forward option you can include Remy, no? We still need another forward of course. Wouldn't surprise me if we see him up top in a 4-4-2.

I thought you were a foodie? You'd honestly hand over money to an establishment that serves frozen burgers for 20 quid?

Kebabs tend to be better everywhere in the world. Even France does a better kebab and they don't do 'foreign food'.

Innit.

French, Swiss German, Italian and then the gypsy Romanish or whatever its called. The anecdote my Turkish colleague tells about the flat warming party he had in Zurich where the neighbours came to the party, left at 10pm sharp and then called the police to complain about the noise sums them up. Even better the next morning the landlord turns up (9am on a saturday morning) saying he had a report of some damage to the walls. A drink had been spilt on the wall during the party and a guest had rung the landlord to report it. Take it from me, cunts.

There is 10m of commercial income missing, where it was lost is not clear. I imagine that during the period 2005 to 2008 there were a lot of corporate boxes paying top whack. I also know that those sort of expenses are the first to go when the economy tanks. Not sure that explains it all. You've got a couple of mill on catering too but that should also have reduced headcount, admin and sourcing costs. Hard to judge without a breakdown of the 34m which was the peak of the commercial line around 06 ish.

Food in Switzerland is shite, its one of my main objections to moving there. Plus the fact its full of cunts.

Agreed.

I quite like Dr Who.

I have cultivated a very amicable relationship with my local butcher, he's a really nice guy as we've been going there for a while now, he always spends 10 minutes chatting if the shop is quiet. He discusses his farmers, who he buys from and the quality etc. Nowadays, when its just me popping in for a bit of steak for lunch, he goes through the back and gets pieces of the hook which he keeps for himself. He knows how much i love a good piece of beef. Unless the beef is of this sort of quality, i would rather eat vegetables. I was in a restaurant in Switzerland not so long ago and i ordered the burger. The price was around 25 francs (nearly 20 quid) so as he walks off i said, er excuse me arent you going to ask me how i want it cooked? As in rare, medium etc. He said 'its not that type of burger' and so i said 'you mean its frozen'...er.....yes. Got up and walked out looking at him like he had literally taken a shit on the table in front of me.

I am in bits today too AH. Went out at 11pm last night, with only a couple of glasses of white wine over dinner in me. Got back at 3am, woke up the little one trying to cook something (don't know what, I ate it so have no evidence), then fell into the bedroom and woke up wor lass. She had to sleep in the spare room because of the snoring. Not sure what shots we had but I was laced this morning. In addition I pulled a muscle in my back yesterday so was taking ibuprofen which means my stomach is wrecked and my back is even worse as I slept funny. So much in the dog house, I'm half expecting her to put a bowl of water with my name on down in front of me.

People being pleasant to you for no apparent reason (and meaning it). The accents. Oxford & Cambridge universities. Bring the centre of the world's greatest empire. The industrial revolution. The Royal family The premier league. Not being a nation of convicts. Being by far the most fun people in a room full of frogs and krauts. The north. I could go on....

Who gives a fuck what he thinks. Howay Pieterson.

There he is.

I completely disagree with that perspective of Cabaye's attitude. It's unfounded.

Darren Bent always struck me as a complete wanker.

Development.

Can i be the first one to say 'Baaaafa Bafetim, Baaaafa Bafetim, Baaafa Bafetim, Bafetimbi Germis'
