You do know that the A1 is built in Belgium (ie not Germany) on the same production line where some Ibiza's are built and some Audis are built in Spain?

The NHS is very efficient. It may not be the best in all places - but thats down to the fact that the UK spends only two thirds to one half what other developed nations spend on healthcare. Then when people realise its not always as good as France or Germany - they blame the NHS. Its a great British pastime.

He probably means its a lie, you're a liar, Cortese is a liar and the world is unfair - but he'd still like you to do him a favour and dig the podcast out.

We could nuke the people we owe the money to.

If its a Baumatic save yourself the bill and throw it away. Terrible shoddy rubbish. Other than that cant help -sorry.

Could be - but personally if I was in that situation I'd be more likely to be jaded and playing below par when having to go to Wolverhampton or Burnley on a Wednesday night than at a once every four years World Cup. Playing in front of a billion people would motivate them surely?

For whatever reason the players just dont seem to be enjoying playing in the WC matches. No idea if that is anxiety, disharmony in the squad or something else. Seems to be affecting some of the other big European teams too.

And David Luker. Has he only been here for 11 months, or does Cortese run the ticketing operation himself now? Maybe, just maybe Cortese takes advice from the Heads of his departments.

Quite. Ancelloti pays his wages. Capello embarrassed him by stripping him of captaincy. Animosity I reckon.

Ask both Zebra and Premium whether there has been any contact between them and the club in the past two years. If the answer is still 'no' - then clearly I wont believe you - but I do promise to stop posting on your thread xx.

This in the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/21/john-terry-england-squad

Id imagine, since Saints are one of the few clubs to not use either company - that sales from both have approached the club on more than one occasion. If you have proposal docs, Im sure the club do too.

Maybe. But they did pretty well together in most of Capellos previous games.

I dont think there is a French Revolution, but I do suspect Terry is stirring something. Lampard puts a very different spin on the so called crisis meeting compared to Terry. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8751070.stm

Its weird. Lampard is obviously a class player, and an insightful one too having just watched his interview on the BBC website. Ive no idea why he hasnt produced the past two games.

I dont know it was a lie, and Im not sure you do. It may well have been down to costs - for the club, for the fans or both. Since both Zebra and Premium are widely used in football Im sure the club already know what the costs of each scheme would be. The fact that you disagree with the decision doesnt make it a lie.

See post 211. It answers your questions.

Agree with this. Unless Terry was explicitly authorised by Capello to speak out, then he should go home imo.

It doesn't. For what its worth I think its a mistake not to have an instalment plan, the costs of which should be set so that it neither costs the club money nor makes additional profit out of fans. The problem I have is with one person pretending 1. The vast majority of club schemes arent a loan agreement designed to wring more money out 2. Cortese is somehow as bad as the other worst ever chairman - Lowe. I have no idea why there isnt a scheme - but Im damn sure its much more likely to be because of either ****up, or a reasoned decision for valid reasons we havent been told - not some stupid greed or conspiracy plot.

No. Im waiting for the prize fight you set up between Lowe and Cortese for the unified world title of 'Meanest Footie Chairman who treats fans with most contempt....ever'. Perhaps you could lay on the buffet and sell bus tickets to the venue, on instalments obviously. Thanks Stu, you are what being a real fan is all about.

Ooh. A "Saints Chairman is uniquely evil in the whole of football" post. We havent had one of those for over a year.

Wow Stu. 25% of that post wasnt bull****. Is that a mistake? Coventry -Zebra Finance Preston - Zebra Finance Watford - own scheme Swansea - Zebra Finance

Nothing to do with the US Open but have been Pebble Beach a few times. Totally recommend the area for a holiday.

Please, name one. I've looked at the schemes for 12 clubs and they all use a finance company.
