England (blood) and Zambia (birth) There's some Irish, Scottish and French blood in there somewhere but probably trace amount, not enough to qualify :D they're all crap anyway :D

Begin crap in the PL will be better than being crap fighting against relegation to the conference! Nothing will get that bad and never again..... I'd rather be crap in the PL than crap in the CS/L1/L2. Who's to know how good or crap we'd be, I'd like to find out though, any real fan would...

How many of these unemployed over 2 years are there? What (some examples maybe) "big" companies are going to benefit from this? Anyway, I would ask why those unemployed (for over 2 years) "cannot" find work when there are many that can and do. I completely agree it should NOT be an excuse for...

As I read it from the BBC news site, the proposals if for those who have been unemployed for over 2 years will need to go on work placements to keep their benefits. Many years ago, I was unemployed for a short while. The benefits then weren't great and experience of that meant that I would...

OK, so the numbers of people who are able to work but don't is "quite low". Eh? I thought you said above that the numbers affected were quite low so it's not really supplying this "cheap labour" is it?

Well, proving it's a case of "won't" work rather than "can't" will always be a tricky one. I'm not saying it's something simple/easy to do but we shouldn't just ignore/sweep it under the carpet just because it's hard to do. In reality, there probably wouldn't be many starving as those that...

No if they can't work, yes if they won't work.

If parachute payments were scrapped (and I think they should be) then all the other "mid/lower" clubs will also be putting relegation clauses in so they'd have no choice in the matter. All these players can't go to the few that don't have (or need) the clause.

So, it's a Trojan and not a virus right?

You may not be interested in the latest models, however the release of them may mean the price of the 5 will come down. So, wait a little and you could save yourself some cash.

Me, you and the next poster on this thread :D

Andre Arshavin.

Of course! When a club comes into money, it can be a great opportunity to invest (stadiums, training grounds etc.) and buy players that improve the squad. It's also an opportunity to squander it all :D I'd laugh if they did the latter.

That's an irrelevant argument. They DO have the prem money so they can "live" within that budget like all the other Premier League teams. We'd be doing the same if we were in the PL as we'd have this large income source that we currently do not.

So now, how do you say/write something when you want to say literally if it now has this double meaning. "Jamie Redknapp, the Sky TV pundit, once said of the Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney that he was “literally on fire”. - So what if Wayne Rooney really was (literally!!!) on fire...

The penultimate paragraph seems to contradict the tone of the whole article. i.e. if one off costs (refurbishing stadium and no doubt training ground admin costs as well) were removed, we would have been in the BLACK!!!! If I read/understood that right, next/this season, those costs won't be...

What is the purpose of this? If it's to just read certain pages whilst offline then some browsers let you save for offline viewing - I assume that's what the software above is doing? (which recursively searches the site for pages). If it's a site that generates content on the fly from a...

Expanding into nothing. This is a tricky concept for people as they don't (or can't) think of nothing as literally/absolute nothing, they think of it as "something" that it has to expand "into".

It's just a friendly, does a player actually have to be registered etc. for friendlies?

I think, generally speaking, the size of club is down to the typical crowds they get. Clubs can get bigger or smaller, no-one is static. Of course, there are other factors, history, traditional financial situation etc. but a club that's been in the top flight a long time isn't necessarily a...
