Now that would be pure schadenfreude if it happened quickly...us getting financial benefit from their demise...poetry!! Won't happen but a fun thought

Very!

Nah...too inbred and has scales!

Good to have choices like this all over our side now but Morgan is the future and he has better vision on passing. Deano has done brilliantly this year, though, better than I and a fair few others thought he would so it's nice not to have a bad choice.

I gave up attempting to choose favourites from Lennon, Cohen, Dylan, Don McLean, John Sebastian...and the list is endless - too many poet genius songwriters for any one thread.

All credible until the 3rd bit...

Bummers at SMS or Norwich at either ground if we get through please. We need to put B& HA in their place after the cr*p that happened at their place...made it look as if we're evenly matched this year and that is so not the case. Norwich because half my staff support them and it's either a famous victory or an honourable defeat...

I'm no expert on the current legalities but when in 1982 I set up my first business I c*cked up the cash flow and owed the HMRC a little less than I was owed in VAT refunds on stock purchased to set up. Although they were separate departments in those days I tried to get them to talk to each other so that one knew that their debt was more than covered by the other...they absolutely refused and issued a 'distraint' on the goods in my stock to be actioned within a week if the bill had not been settled. Fortunately we had a good week and were able to pay within that time and I learnt a valuable lesson but had I not been able to the goods that had the 'distraint' attached to them would have been seized at a value well below their actual worth (as I remember it) up to the value of the debt. No days of grace were given and the 'distraint' notice was issued by a tax office bailiff...a sobering and focussing experience! This may have changed since then (I learnt and have not made that same mistake in the past 30 years!) but there must surely be a system that allows a similar arrangement? Ostensibly (as the real estate is not owned by P*mpey) the only 'assets' are the players....and if they are tied to expensive contracts the only possibility would be to wind up the company...unless they take administration first? Perhaps someone with recent or relevant experience (Clapham?) could comment - whichever way you look at it it's utterly unviable as it is.

Coventry would be a good shout...they're not going to get anywhere near us and Barny can dent a few of our rivals' hopes

That's very good!

This!

Totally logical

I agree (although they're not quite as good as Go Pro for watersports use) about the company...they've supplied us and the kit is good...also sold in Staples if your work has an account there perhaps?

'Living is easy with eyes closed...misunderstanding all you see' John Lennon Don't talk of love, But I've heard the words before; It's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried. I am a rock, Paul Simon I can't answer the questions you ask me, I don't know what to say. The answers are somewhere lost in the stars when the night has turned to day. But I know if the silence of night could be here, It would drift through my soul and calm all my fear And I could reach out and draw you so near to me Touch me and warm me and I will lie still. And all that you ask me to give you I will One living moment we'll have for our own. A brief flash of time that we spent all alone. But you ask me for nothing and give what you can And we're wrapped in a pillow of sleep once again And my memory drifts through the universe when we are one Closely we're falling through time And the earth will turn in the silence of space, always in motion yet always in place And all things will change yet remain what they are. And far will be near and near will be far And the ages will darken and blend into time And all that is poetry will no longer rhyme But our moment together is forever sublime For the time has arrived when we must understand That we're lost in a void on this sad speck of sand And nobody knows where we are, no one cares And the tears that we shed in the dark no one cares And the madmen who plunder this world for their fame Have forgotten that no one remembers their name But time and the universe are always the same Closely we're falling through time Don McLean Too many more...realised that before filling the thread...and before I even start on Leonard Cohen!

Bless...could you take some emergency laxatives to the match for him in case we go 1-0 down?

+1...P*mpey is the nearest I can do...my staff get a written warning if they say the full version!

Absolutely - we have come a long way

Or plain just getting on with the job? Not looking for the distraction of a bunch of fans with multiply different agendas maybe - don't misunderstand me...I am all for any Board or owner listening to the supporters' opinions but Cortese has been very focused on achieving what he set out to do in his way. So far that has delivered one cup, one promotion and a high position at the turn of the year with a realistic shot at promotion to the PL...if his way wasn't working then there would be a better case for doing it differently. We have achieved whilst the vast majority of clubs in both of the leagues we have been in have not....so far. I wonder if they attribute their successes or lack of them to their fans feedback or would they just be happy to see a plan coming together...answers on a postcard please?

A rational, logical and well worded post - thank you!

So which Championship chairman has done a better job? Granted that the window is still open for all of them.

Happy days...and a vote of thanks to FF for all the fun this continues to produce!

Do you think the illiterate tw*t thought he was signing Figo when he signed Fuller? Just asking....

The two aren't unrelated (not doing maths at school and the above!) ...

A mate for your lad to go to games with for the next generation...good all round and congratulations!

Good to read..both bits, thank you!
