Nah, the Withdean days are over. We've regularly spunked £10 mil + on average players that we barely use over the last few years. I don't owe the club anything - if I'm missing games I'll have the money back thanks.

I volunteer with a charity that takes disabled kids to Lourdes (France) every year at Easter, around 6000 people travel in total. Just been cancelled, first time since the charity was founded in the 1950's.

I think the 17th game would be a nightmare in terms of deciding playoff scenarios where some teams have had an extra home game. The only fair way to do it would be to play a game every week in London. I'm up for that.

Obviously she did. I would suspect the Greens legal team didn't pick up that it was also illegal to take donors around.

See for me, this highlights how they ARE very different. You wouldn't catch Labour or the Tories selling a tour with their key figurehead for £150. Their lawyers would have been all over it, and they prefer selling lunches with David Cameron for £40k or whatever it famously was, taking huge...

It sounds like she has done something wrong to be honest - seems like they've been caught red-handed. Just seems naive more than outrageously dishonest to me, particularly when you look at the sums involved.

As others have said, I'm sure a walk around the Commons has probably been thrown in alongside the policy lunches, direct influence on decision-making and peerages that the big parties regularly sell for millions. Surprised an MP as diligent as Lucas has made this mistake, but it's hardly crime...

I wouldn't say it SPANKS the original, but certainly does it justice. Always my "go to" of how covers can be completely acceptable. (As well as pretty much every Johnny Cash cover of someone else).

Think they're on general sale at the moment, and it hasn't sold out. The bloke I am going with says he keeps getting bombarded with sales emails, despite having already bought ours.

I think the non-league bit is the most important. The kind of level where 150 people turn up, and the bar takings are more important than what they pay to get in. Even losing 15 casual supporters if there's a particularly attractive game on TV would be a killer, and this country's footballing...

There will be lots of people who may well be considering not renewing, but I doubt many of them post on NSC.

Not a particularly massive moment, but ended up facing the wrong way, lying on the floor about 4 rows forward from where I started when Crofts scored the 3rd away at Southampton in Poyet's first game. Might have had something to do with having been on the lash at the Ireland game in Dublin all...

Gavin Geddes.

Many a team have "invested" significant money in order to stay up, and then gone down anyway. So I think we are right to be careful. I also think we could use a striker, however.

I know I normally stick up for Scottish football, but his record in England before moving to Aberdeen is quite underwhelming.

Agreed, but whilst the academy players are the headline grabbers (especially to people who only really watch England), Saracens have paid some serious overseas talent to supplement that over the last 5-6 years as well.

Absolutely. But that's kind of the point isn't it? Without the salary cap infringements it seems fair to say that Saracens wouldn't have such an extensive pool of incredible players. Not necessarily aiming this at you, but I'm hearing a lot of "the games weren't rigged, Saracens have been one...

Well in my opinion he shouldn't be anywhere near running the FA (however "symbolic" his position is) as a hereditary member of the royal family. Obviously respect for what he went through with his mother.

Support the cause 100%, love the idea, just wish I didn't have to look at a member of the royal family on the big screen introducing it.

Can't comment about taking kids but do remember when I first went. I was 7/8, was playing for a team and watching whole Serie A matches on channel 4. I had been begging to go for a while, and despite it being a completely dull 0-0 game (vs Exeter City) I was absolutely mesmerised by the...
