This is good.. https://www.theguardian.com/football/that-1980s-sports-blog/2023/jan/26/second-tier-brighton-liverpool-fa-cup-shock "When Brighton were drawn against Liverpool in 1984, Melia – who was now managing Belenenses in Portugal – spoke frankly about his time at Brighton and did not...

Just spitballing. I'm well aware Amazon are doing nothing unlawful with their tax affairs, and the blame for that lies with the Government, which is riddled from top to bottom with corruption and cronyism . Its still distasteful on Amazons part though, and they're obviously not the only ones...

Be nice if they paid their fair share of tax in this country.

Yes, good point. They are gradually diminishing their own headroom with FFP over the coming years. And you can only have 25 players in your squad (not including U21s), so if some of these long-term signings don't work out, then you're pretty much stuffed. Perhaps they're gambling on FFP being...

These huge 8 year contracts they've decided to hand out lately to dodge FFP are a massive gamble. All well and good if they land a superstar who settles and performs, but if they end up lumbered with, say, a Lukaku on MASSIVE wages, who completely stinks the place out, and is contracted there...

This is nothing new. My first job was in a call centre in the 90s. It was a 7.5 hour day (450 minutes) and out of that, on top of your lunch hour, you were allowed 3% "idle" time (13.5 minutes) to have a fag, have a shit, get some crisps, whatever. It was all recorded on the phone terminal you...

Whats with all the 42s ?

Or you could take your mum up the Amex

Just around £250 left on HP for a suite. I only ever use the credit card to pay for holidays (for the extra cover), but its always cleared straight away before any interest goes on. My first job was working in a credit control call centre, it put me off debt for life.

Keys...wallet...phone....knife Not for me Clive. I don't live in Norwood.

Constant sicknote, ankles made of Weetabix, pushing 30, big earner, and no better than we already have. Other than that, yeah he'd be ideal.

Does the fact I have no skin in the game exclude me from giving an opinion then ?

And if the injured player is laying prone in the penalty area or the 6 yard box ?

I don't have kids at school so its no skin off my nose. Just making the point.

One thing I do know - if I had a child in school and wanted to take them away on holiday during term time, but the school said "no", then following all these strikes, I'd tell them to DO one.

Not sure who he supports is entirely relevant. The point is, opposition fans have often used "yids" (insert obligatory preceding F-word) as an insult towards Spurs. So Spurs fans have taken it upon themselves to counter it by endlessly chanting "yid army", as if this in some way owns it. It...

Not having it. You're not standing up for jews. You don't own the term "yids" - its a slang word thats been widely used outside of football as a derogatory slang term for jewish people. The fact your fans casually throw the yid chant around (when they're not even jewish) and try to justify it as...

In the spirit of this thread, when I occasionally remember them and cast my eyes way, way, waaaayyyy down the classifieds, I too have been revelling in the plight of that tragic club, still floundering around in the noddy leagues. Like Diane Abbot trying to haul herself out of a fetid...

That "yid army" chant is so f***ing annoying. The nobbers chanting it aren't even jewish, they're just using a borderline racist slang term for an ethnic minority, because they think they're "owning it" for their club. And thats what they'll tell you. Bunch of pricks.
