Difficult to tell on NSC sometimes!

Facile comment. The percentages mean that in a representative group of people 82% of them would be white, 18% other. Not one person who is 82% one and 18% t'other.

Sadly, the world of politics is very much like this these days. .... ... ... and there you have it in a nutshell. Doesn't agree with me: ergo, an idiot.

What's that when it's at home?

Does seem a bit of a shock - but the article doesn't really match the more sensationalist headline.

No worries - Barry's just landed a plumb job in the Whitby area!

Agree with the gist of this, but would have him in the squad for his knowledge and experience, and above all as an ideal sub to bring on if the team needs to see out a match under pressure. Re: another poster's point, the idea that he is good enough to play at the top level of the PL, but not...

Of course the BBC won't go all PC - all candidates will be treated and considered freely and fairly on merit. Whoever gets it will be the best lesbian for the job! :wink:

One of those surplice stores?

......or lead the singing of Abide with Me when we next get to Wembley?

Wonder if he's the first Barry the Bishop? Perhaps it's just me, but Barry just doesn't sound like a name for a bishop!

Anybody but Alex Scott! Not that I hate her or think she's rubbish or anything, just that she's everywhere all over the BBC; one of the good things about Linaker doing MOTD was that was pretty much his only broadcasting job, and he wasn't on somewhere or other every other bloody day of the week...

Typo on my part (now corrected) - (wild) guess of £150K a week current contract, not £250K (if I'd meant £250K, my arithmetic would have been shocking!)

Hmmm...........language barrier a problem?

Really? £1M would only account for £20K a week in lost wages - and wages offered elsewhere might be a lot more than £20K a week less than Chelsea wages. Going down from, say, £150K a week to a beggarly £100K is a loss of £2.5M, every year; that's, for example, £7.5M over a three year contract -...

I don't think pay-cuts are in the DNA of PL footballers! Obviously, he could take a 50% pay cut and still be a very rich young man, but I don't expect his agent will be whispering in his ear to do that either!

I hope he doesn't. It would not be in keeping with the club's way of doing things - we don't just go out and buy, buy, buy - and I hope it stays that way, with this summer being more of a one-off than the shape of things to come. I still haven't got used to all our new signings yet - enough is...

Highest earner - could do with some cost-cutting. Besides, 25 years is long enough - time for a change (regardless how good or bad people might think he is).

He'd just get his supreme court judges to declare it not illegal! :(

Isn't all that a bit like Crofty's job description? Does it affect Croft's position, or does it fit in alongside it somehow - or has Crofty announced his intention to apply for jobs in, say, League 1, to become a number one in his own right? (i.e. yet another example of succession planning).
