So FIFA awarded the WC to Qatar and now admit to not having the foresight to realise it would be too hot in every respect for it to be played in the Summer. How bad is that for a governing body? Now they want to hold it in the Winter there and want everyone to adapt their seasons accordingly.


I suspect this award in the first place has corruption written all over it and England if no one else should boycott it.

fwiw my alter ego somehow managed to fix the old thread; quite spectacular destruction by D_C, he even managed to demolish the moderator controls. Luckily his post was a reply to gingerbeer's allowing me to hide it by hiding hers, then reinstating hers.


Anyway, we have a shiny new thread so academic really.

Liverpool won't have lost that much as there would've been lots of add-ons in the headline fee. Then again West Ham probably won't be paying the full headline fee. Madrid were apparently looking to buy Bale on the never never, repayments spread over 6 years...el Wonga! :)

Yep, Downing one of the most one dimensional players I've seen....perfect for us then!


Joking aside, I'm semi-positive, Ravel Morrison has score quite a few pre-season, be interesting to see if BFS has rounded the edges of a particularly rough diamond.

Downing is a strange one. He had one absol;utely cracking season at Boro, and has never quite lived up to the potential that I believe he has. Still, I never wanted him at Liverpool, I was gobsmacked at the price we paid, and I'm glad he's off the wage bill. I do wish him luck though, and he and Carroll could do well...

i know what you mean Maxxi but Scott Parker isn't going to solve the striker shortage and to be honest Nolan comes up with his fair share. My highlight of the closed season is (so far) we've still got Diame, for me, a jewel *crosses fingers,toes and testicles*.



edited to correct plural of bollox

Quagliarella on loan would do a job - but I think we're safe too - more I think we'll be top ten again.


Is it prediction time again yet?


Chelsea for the title, Mans U&C next, then a three-way fight between Spurs, Gooners & Liverpool - so far so predictable but I fancy Swansea as an e/w bet.


Palace, Hull, Norwich to go down.

So England v Scotland tonight. I remember when this game really used to mean something especially during the Home internationals. Where are the players of Denis Law, Jimmy Johnstone, Jim Baxter, Kenny Dalglish and Steve Archibald in the Scottish game these days?

Our Under 21s were excellent last night in a six-nil victory over the old enemy and can the big boys do something similar? I'm going for an England two-nil victory.

    • Fascinating The Rest is Politics questions this week and they deal with the farmer issue as the first question. Rory Stewart has a fascinating insight into the issues here - about the high cost of land and the low returns from farming and how this is anything but a few farms being affected. Well worth a listen for those that want to hear both sides of the argument.
    • Robber Reeves strikes AGAIN.  "Royal Mail threatens to hike stamp prices again in more misery for UK households" Royal Mail has warned it will have to raise prices after taking a £120m hit from Rachel Reeves’s Budget tax raid.

    • This is the link to Michelle Baharier on PECKHAM PODCAST talking about dyslexia and Assisted Dying. There's time to write to your MP if you have strong feelings and wish to be heard.
    • Apparently the police took a call from a certain C Little.  I understand that it was difficult to hear the exact name as there was a lot of clucking in the background.  Various farm animals are helping with enquiries, worryingly a few foxes have been seen on the prowl so this may not end well.  I say police protection for C Little, now. Eagles and seagulls have also been seen on large numbers in the area.  I'd keep away as it could be carnage. Certainly watch your ice cream cornets and perhaps wear ear plugs. Not sure if this is anything to do with the local authority or the Labour government, no doubt someone will find a link.
