I am going off you purely on the basis that I now have to work tomorrow on what should have been one of my two (non consecutive) days off. I do have to do reports and deal with accounts :(..........:D

Seem to remember watching a game at Selhurst Park near the start of the season where the pitch had longer grass than normal. Someone suggested that this was deliberate, they practiced on it and it was done to make it harder for the opposition to play on.

I would like to think that we'll win this hands down given Colchester are one place from the bottom, the players hopefully realise that we're only 3 points north of them and gap between the goal difference isn't huge and they have a game in hand. Stuck at work (on a lovely day:() but will be...

I'm not denying that BR sold players and I'm not saying that MMG was a Saint either. My point was that we don't know whether he was forced to sell them or not.

I remember the 1998 quarter final where the Blades came to Highfield Road and earned themselves a replay in the last minute of the period beyond extra time. Drowned my sorrows with the odd drink or three on the way home with people telling me that we were unlikely to be that unlucky again. So...

Was he forced into selling our players to reduce the "commercial" debt by the co-op? If so were we in danger of breaching our banking covenants otherwise? Were the players used as collateral against the debts and therefore he had no choice in the matter? I'm struggling to remember masses from...

There is a piece in tonight's Standard about The Hoff in the Business section. Oh good grief!

Yeah he agreed to the buy back clause going in but it was according to AEHGrandson (with nothing to back it up) put in at the insistence of his dad Sir Higgs who didn't want us to be homeless. It was posted in a thread called confuse.com and I'll post a link in a moment when I can get Firefox...

Not sure that was BR, I seem to remember a post stating that it was someone else who had the buy back clause added. I'll have a look tomorrow on a break when I'm not suffering from insomnia.

Richardson wasn't only an employee was he though he was a shareholder. And not just any old shareholder but the biggest shareholder in the club.

I will admit that I was very happy the day that it was announced he had been sacked. I will also admit that I enjoyed watching the likes of Dublin, etc that was a feature of our time in the premiership. However had I known what this was being built on I would have been less impressed. What we...

Nice to see that after the government scuppered it at the time the Ricoh was built that the station has finally been built. Hopefully I'll get to use it soon and save a taxi fare.

Sounds like a positive start keep it up City. :thumbup:

If I can get lunch before 3 I'll bung a few quid on us to win today. Leaning towards 2-1 to us. PUSB.

I had to fight for my money when leaving one job (through redundancy) because I was listed at head office as having taken all my holiday for the year when in fact I hadn't used any. They were also proposing to dock my redundancy pay because I had used holiday time I hadn't accrued according to...

A job in the City like Banking?

I agree and if that's 18months salary then that's what you owe him Tim. "We are hopeful of reaching a sensible settlement for all parties" If his contract does say he is owed the money then pay up and avoid yet another court case please. That would be a sensible settlement.

Had a call from a mate earlier asking why the score in the Arsenal game had gone back to 0-0. I asked if he was now watching ITV+1 and the silence was very telling, apparently his wife had done it as a joke :D Still can't get over the fact we've won two on the trot.

Bloody marvellous stuff!

Oh that's an even worse thought.
