I agree with everything you said there TF bar not giving a fuck. I do, i would love to see it but i'm realistic. I will say this though, i do think the vote will be a close thing when it comes. Its also 2 + 1/2 years of Cameron which i think will change peoples votes waaaaaaaaaaay more than being bored of Salmond ever will. Whatever way of looking at its unarguable that these are interesting times we are living in. I guarantee that every single one of us will look back in 20 years knowing exactly where you were, who you were with and how you voted on the day that Scotland chose it fate. One thing that i have wondered is what will be the criteria that you must meet to be able to vote. It doesn't seem right that someone could move from N/I, Wales or England three months before the vote and be eligible to take part. In contrast it doesn't seem right to deny a non scot the right to vote when they are long term residents and aim to continue to do so

I actually couldn't bring myself to watch more than a minute of that. Any chance you can explain the reference?

That is interesting, an 11% swing is not impossible by any means over 2 and half years

Egyptian journo on the football weekly podcast reckons the egyptian fa are going to try to just ignore it as best as possible. There's not going to be any hillsborough like inquest apparently

I hope he does well if he goes.

We ain't getting shit

Well i'm certainly happier with the squad than i was before. No one has left though, where has the money come for this?

what was the score?

Saha to spurs is a strange one.

Only reason i can think is one i come across in football manager. If its anything like that they might want to try and up the number of homegrown players at the club. Because he is 17 he will be able to qualify as a full homegrown player as he will have spent 3 years there before he is 21. You have to have a certain number of those in your squad when you register it for the League and Champions league. As i said though that's how it is in FM, i honestly couldn't tell you how accurate that is in the real world but it does fit the question. I don't think its out of the question for Fyvie to go on to be good enough to be a squad player for city. They could probably get him for a couple of Mill which is not much money for them and then they could put him out on loan for a year and half. If it works out great, if not well they will probably be able to recoup about half what they spent so its not exactly high risk or loss.

It still boggles my mind that they sacked Cappelo. It was their first title for 4 seasons

Might have been wise to come out with this before we signed two new midfielders

Bent took his goal really well. Arsenal were excellent in the second half, ramsey was immense. Both stone wall pens too

arsenal villa has been a mental game so far

Jinx

this Appalling line up

On the bbc commentary they were wanking off about him when dundee played kilmarnock recently. This one could go either way (providing he does sign)

true

Listened on the radio, fair play to him. Pushed a better player all the way and didn't give up. No one can call him a bottler this time if you ask me.

Nah all the podge he's carrying takes him down to 5'4" now Because of his height?

madrid have made some staggeringly shit appointments, christ toshack was appointed twice! I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing to be honest i just felt it necessary to point out that his overall record is pretty decent. Would i want him in charge of my team if i supported a big european side? Only in Spain. Do i think he will get the Madrid job when Jose goes? Probably not but i wouldn't be shocked if they did

this

Yeah i think we have to be one of the most active clubs this window, getting business done early too is a positive sign. I also echo your sentiments on SH. I really rated him when he came through at the huns and thought he looked a very useful player. Hopefully he can provide the bit of guile we has been lacking for a very long time. Its also positive that he has signed for the length he has, shows that whilst he has turned us down in the past that he is committed. We still need width though

Rocket i have to ask, are your regular unnecessary diatribes at folk misguided attempts to create spicier debate or do you genuinely feel the need to rant insults at folk for having a different opinion? Genuine question, i'm curious. Reason i ask is because say what you like about Benitez but his record bar inter is pretty good. It all fell down at liverpool but lets not forget he won trophies there including the champions league which the current incumbent of the madrid job could not do at a much better financed chelsea. Its also not hard to point the a fair bit of the blame for the decline at liverpool on messrs gillete and hicks. If you add to this the fact he has worked as youth coach at madrid as well as winning la liga twice and eufa cup at valencia, a return to the bernabau as manager is not that much of a leap. Especially when he was the last manager to win la liga with a team that wasn't in el clasico last night.
