Committee signings: NA, NC, LR Non Adkins signings: NC, LR Ramirez he hadn't seen though from quotes in the Summer? Said he sounded good etc. And I remember similar quotes when Guly was being touted.

Eh? I never said that did happen? I think signings are taking place outside of the Committee, but not from Adkins point of view, but Cortese's.

This is what I find strange in regards to Yoshida: Boss Nigel Adkins completely dismissed the prospect of landing the 24-year-old following the weekend's 2-0 home defeat to Wigan.

I agree it doesn't. Of course that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I was being facetious with Mayuka by the way...My point still stands, we didn't buy enough quality from the better top divisions, especially at CB.

I think it's implied that the top division should be decent, ie: England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain. You left out Mayuka as well if you're looking at it that way.

Lol, you still think I said Premier League experience, and not just top division experience. Wow!

Check if you're affected by the High Income Child Benefit charge Based on the information you have given, you will be affected by the High Income Child Benefit charge. You have the following options. Option 1: KEEP getting Child Benefit payments Choosing this option means you: would have to pay a tax charge on the Child Benefit you or your partner get will have to declare the Child Benefit by completing a tax return If your income is between £50,000 and £60,000 you may want to choose this option. This is because the tax charge will always be less than the amount of Child Benefit. You can always change your mind, for example if your circumstances change. You can use an online calculator to get an estimate of your likely tax charge. The calculator doesn't store any of the information you enter: HM Revenue & Customs cannot access the data. Option 2: STOP getting Child Benefit payments Choosing this option means that: you will not have to pay the tax charge you will not have to complete a tax return - unless you need to for other reasons any entitlement to Child Benefit will still carry on - providing you or your partner still qualify for it If your income is more than £60,000 you may want to choose this option. This is because the tax charge will always be the same as the amount of Child Benefit. There are some income adjustments that may apply which could bring your income level down to below £60,000, such as pension contributions. This could reduce your tax charge.

This is a really strange one. We already receive so I guess we are already registered. It looks like if either of you have a wage of over £60k then there is no point in receiving it: The person with the highest income has to pay the full amount of Child Benefit as a tax charge if their adjusted net income is more than £60,000 a year.

I agree with this.

To be fair when I was complaining in the Summer you were one of the biggest dissenters to my opinions.

I wouldn't have thought so, the missus worked for 4 full months this financial year, and I've been working full time as well.

I seem to remember NA not even having heard of or at least not interested in Yoshida earlier in the Summer...

Ok, here's one we did. Divide your parties into teams of 4. All put £50 in the pot to buy a car. You then, Top Gear style, have to drive from one end of the country to another (I would suggest Southampton to Cardiff and back again), whilst having to do challenges. Usually good if there are 12 to 20 of you. This, I **** you not, is a quality laugh, and as you don't care about the cars you get into a lot of, ahem, scrapes.

As some of you know, the missus and I recently had our first child, and as such we're claiming Child Benefit. This is a payment of £20.30 a week that has been around for years and years and that everyone is entitled to...until January. Now, I probably shouldn't be in a position to need this money, but what with the other half only getting Maternity Allowance due to her finding out she was pregnant 4 weeks into her new job, I'm pretty ******ed off that we will no longer receive this. Is anyone else in the same position?

I was thinking about the signings we have made over the last few years and also about the old 'Adkins isn't being forced to play Guly', 'Adkins can now pick his own team' opinions after the apparent showdown talks (did these actually happen) and I was wondering who was signed as part of this committee, and who was signed without Nigel's prior 'consent'. For me (this Summer) it goes like this: Committee Rodriguez Clyne Gazzaniga Non Adkins Mayuka Ramirez Yoshida Boruc Is this the best wat to be signing players, especially with such an important season, and will the committee identify the right players for January I wonder?

It was something that I certainly thought could be true after the start of this season. How people would know this, I don't know though.

"At present their bullying of the little guys is keeping their heads above the murkiest water, so they must continue such wedgies and sweet-stealing when Southampton come to visit. Of course, the Saints are on the closest they have come to a 'roll' this season, with two wins and two draws from the last four, so even that won't be stunningly easy. Still, if they can't score past Paulo Gazzaniga - currently making a very strong play to be the worst goalkeeper in the Premier League - then they really do have problems."

Nice to have compliments from other teams. By the way, should this be another game that should be written off as 0 points? Or is this one where we feel we should get a result?

Surely Gazzanigga, like Adkins, should be given time to turn his form around. He probably needs at least 15 games to bed in to the side.
