  1. Maybe they could just admit it's all predetermined and we can refer to it as "sports entertainment with a ball".
  2. Are all the bar patrons there waving to get the ambulance's attention for the red faced gentleman who is having a fit? Sorry, in an office so can't have the volume on, not sure if the sound makes the action more obvious.
  3. I am fully behind Eddie. It's a rough patch for sure, but he's learning and developing all the time as we are improving. Never mind the Champions League, he has given me hope which is something I had none of with previous managers for such a long time (excluding Rafa). He has earned the right to grow alongside us and I'm not one for attacking a man who clearly knows his stuff after a bumpy patch. I'm not saying don't criticize certain points of his game plan, that's every football fans right, I'm just saying I'm sticking by him.
  4. Goalkeeper. You have to be part rugby player, basketball player, ballerina and wrestler as well as a footballer. In a pinch you can play a LB at CF as they're both outfield players but it's very rare that an outfield player can successfully go in goal, Kevin Brock's concussion induced heroics notwithstanding.
  5. I would agree, however due to work commitments it got to the point that I'd only be able to listen to the Friday night show for about an hour. Problem was, they ALWAYS had on this unfunny wanker from Hartlepool for half an hour and Slaven humouring the arsehole with quips about sending them some baked goods (I think this Hartlepool bloke was a baker). There was zero football talk and there was never a decent caller on for the last half hour that I could listen to it. Ruined it for me. Kind of went downhill too after the original mackem bloke left and they got in Micky something.
  6. I've always reckoned the league fixtures were fixed, I'm now thinking the cup draws might be too. -OR- All football is predetermined for storyline purposes.
  7. Weird when I saw the Blackburn team sheet, I thought I was back in the 90's with some of the names. Really shit game, we seemed to completely lack that spark. We have for a while now but I thought it might be the ideal opportunity to clear the cobwebs and get our mojo back. I reckon there is something off behind the scenes like, the spirit doesn't seem to be as strong. I hope we overcome it as am enjoying the ride and want the players to continue to enjoy playing for us too. Credit to Blackburn like, they did a great job.
  8. Half term mate. Probably been banned from minecraft so getting their entertainment here.
  9. That is a valid point I was looking through case law and statutes without that even occurring to me. Thank you
  10. Been doing some digging on whether we can hire a replacement when someone is put on gardening leave. Couldn't find any case law, but I could see that hiring replacement workers due to an industrial dispute (a strike) is perfectly legal as the employer is entitled to keep their business operational. As gardening leave is a form of industrial dispute, I surmise that we could get a replacement in. I just can't find anything concrete so far without asking someone with legal expertise with direct experience of this happening. As an aside, I hope we rinse the red mancs for millions for doing this. Wish they'd just piss off and be content being a mid table club for a few years, they've had their glory time.
  11. When I was younger I always thought that the higher you get in the league, the less you should be able to spend on players. Not sure I agree with that now.
  12. I don't want him to go. He's part of OUR long term project, not fucking man u's.
  13. Indeed, that's why I was wondering what folks thought his valuation would be. Just curiosity more than anything, regardless of whether anyone paid it. Not trying to be funny or awkward, I am getting my love for football back after the dark years and I'm trying to fill in the gaps in my knowledge by asking the more well informed folks (like yourself) a hypothetical.
  14. Is he not? Well blow me over with a wafted dishcloth, I didn't realise. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
