Hamann wrote off Yaya Toure remember

Although things may change if open up Saturday 3pm games http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-set-tv-revolution-4956046

Going to be more frequently on TV for 2nd half of season. Other than annoying me for not being Sat 3pm which sits nicely for pub routine the additional exposure and revenue has to be a good thing. Although unless on more than 10 times there is no direct increase in 'facility fees'. Sky/BT are obliged to show each club 10 times but may chose not to but club will still get associated money. Stoke only got shown 7 times last season thankfully! So evey game over 10 is worth around £750-£800k. Anyway no real debating point and comes with Pl status but found Swiss Rambles table in his West Ham article interesting to see significance of TV over merit payments.

Getting used to it but yes rubbish but not unusable. What's with the splash screen 'Happy Holidays' still being there as well?

1-0, 1-1, 2-1 and 2-0 are statistically the most common scores so not as surprising. Guess unlike most weekends there was no standout score that would have blown most people's predictions. I've had 11 of last 12 outcomes right and 5 correct scores. Stupidly not put one bet on this year either.

How teh heckins are Villa still in 13th? 11 goals in 21 games must be one of worst of all time yet have 22 pts

Such a nice rebuff and bet you have good counselling skills in real life.

Surprise 1-1 prediction from Merson. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/15205/9637957/mersons-predictions-man-city-and-chelsea-to-deliver-as-their-tussle-for-the-title-continues-plus-a-win-for-arsenalp

If your point is that Tesco were smarter than Sainsburys in their advertising spend because you went there regardless or did you just want to share a titbit? You probably saw that Moody's downgraded Tesco stock to 'junk' status?

I understand totally and is sensible approach just when analyse it is their extremism dictating nit the content therefore a blow to free speech

What about Life of Brian? There were protest cos some including Muslims saw offence. So if the Christian militants were more fanatical and started shooting up cinemas would you say Monty Python would have been foolish to make? I sort of agree with you but the point is an anticipated fanatical reaction shouldn't dictate what is free speech it should be the material itself.

So are the apologists (although possibly do not realise they are) going have to try and reason with what the Kosher deli has done to upset them? Stirring up a hornets nest by having different views. Had it coming to them.

Serious question - do you guys work or just have jobs that let you toss it off? Strangely jealous that you can debate all day.

Can't help but like you Pap. You don't have the aggression of others

He's no David Pleat or Trevor Francis.

Often the tolerant 'live and let live' atheist is quite intolerant when you look into their views and will more often have pseudo intellectual smugness not rivalled in their less tolerant religious friends. Still good to know some have all the answers.

Nothing will,change until summer president elections I would have assumed

If you searched Twitter for Mossad you would have seen plenty

Laughable. You think any offence in a Christian country is a Christian crime? EDL beating people is in the name of Jesus is it?

I am aware of that. Everyone is aware that it is not the vast majority. However there is a proliferation of Muslims who are being radicalised and is akin to being brainwashed into a death cult from where i satnd as there is zero tolerance of anyone who opposes their views - Muslims included.

Saying it despicable is neither here nor there. What right-minded person would think otherwise? Bit like saying 'i'm not racist but....' when you come back with it's all the west's fault

No idea yet are you are happy to dismiss it as a few nutters in isolated incidents that will fade away?

A small minority that control large parts of Syria and Iraq?

Funny old thread as those I normally have different views than I am in agreement.
