    Team for Walsall this week.

    Doubt it. Didn't he say that he might be ready for Ipswich on one of the other threads but didn't sound that confident. I reckon he will be back after the international break.

    AMEX Card

    Have some difficulty using Amex at smaller outlets but most of the Supermarkets, petrol stations, travel providers, etc, take it ok, and of course at the Stadium its fine. I carry a Mastercard for times its not accepted but about 90% of my spending seems to be on the Amex card so it works...

    Dunk - Refusing to play?

    Ok, I stand corrected. Sorry to mislead. Mind you if he did hand in transfer request at least we would have some clarity about his intentions.

    Dunk - Refusing to play?

    Well hope it is. As far as I understand it if a player is sold without having put in a transfer request, the selling club has to pay up his contract. As he has 3 years on his contract with us, that could cost us up to £1m. If he hands in a transfer request we don't have to pay him a bean!

    QPR set to settle Financial Fair Play wrangle with Football League for just £8m

    You could be right Triggaaar and I may have got it wrong. However I thought that the PL were insistent on where the fine goes, whether the club was still in the prem or not. I think at the time there was an implied threat from the PL that unless the Football League agreed, the miniscule amount...

    QPR set to settle Financial Fair Play wrangle with Football League for just £8m

    Sorry to disillusion you but I think your find that all monies received have to go to charity, apparently the Premier League insisted. It wont go to the clubs.

    Albion App

    I'm not sure why but my version updates all the time. I've just checked and all todays results are there together with highlights from the Forest game and post match interviews,etc. Perhaps you need to update the Hive Core component or the app itself but its all working fine for me on android.

    Catering tonight

    My moan last night was the lack of staff. I was in the 1901 (Wynne Baxter Whatever lounge) and the excellent Karen was on her own, (usually there are 2 or 3) and the poor girl was rushed off her feet. I got there at 7pm, and she was down to one pie and a pasty which went before I could be served...

    Hastily arranged deal

    I took Naylors comment to mean that as the club looked like missing out on any more significant signings, the club got Bobby in as a last resort to deflect criticism and shut up the whingers.

    Open Heart Surgery

    Just to give you a bit of confidence, I had a quadruple bypass at Kings Hospital in London and have never had a spot of bother since. That was in 1991, over 24 years ago so I think it worked! I would imagine there even better at it now so worry not, your be fine.

    Or put it another way the Tories won't get rid of it as a bribe to stop voters voting Labour

    And people wonder about how intelligent you need to be to work for the council .....

    True but its still the private sector company not performing rather than the Council. Anyway if the company is underperforming there will be penalties and remedies open to the Council in the contract to rectify the situation.

    And people wonder about how intelligent you need to be to work for the council .....

    Not true. While parking revenues have to be used for other transport things, ( such as bus subsidies, road humps, Over 65's passes, other traffic measures, etc, etc), the amount the Council used to receive from Central Government towards these services has been cut. Therefore the parking...

    And people wonder about how intelligent you need to be to work for the council .....

    As far as I can see Westdene, you think that the Council is rubbish if it runs the service and rubbish if they put it out to the private sector. Can't really win can they. I've just come back from a holiday in the Lake District where they use a firm called 'Park at Ease'. Twice their meters...

    And people wonder about how intelligent you need to be to work for the council .....

    While I understand your frustration with the Council at least half of your rant is against a private company that is nothing to do with them. However as you repeatedly take every opportunity to remind us of your views on the Public Sector perhaps the fact that this slipped your mind is...
