It does seem really strange how a nation that on the whole hates socialism sets up it's sporting leagues on those kind of terms with wage caps and drafts. Yet somehow it still manages to be a capitalists dream and allows very rich owners to use the teams to generate a lot of money for themselves.

Would like to see Chiefs - Rams SB but can't see it happening. Also after the game earlier in the season there's no way it could live up to that. Saints at home I expect to disrupt the Rams and certainly have enough all round talent to see them off. If Pats were at home I'd go with them too...

Wasn't the picture taken on the Sandringham estate, not a public road? I also don't like the idea that he automatically shouldn't be driving just because he's 97. He, and everybody else, should be made to pass a test to prove their ability above a certain age, say 70, but to just say you can't...

We ought to know from experience that Lamerias doesn't play well if given the heavy treatment so someone should've been told to make sure Lamerias 'knows you're there'. As much as I don't want a team of cloggers it does feel we're being just a bit too nice at times. But if we change it you can...

Again incredibly disappointing and infuriating. Subs were again nonsensical and the latter two far too late and were once again like-for-like. We do really now need to consider that we just have a bunch of attackers who can't hit a barn door. It seems stupid to suggest we need a striker in...

It's due to the lack of atmosphere in the stadium.

That's what I'm saying - it's not philanthropic in any way but when they leave they always make it clear they've 'written off' £x of their own investment to help the club, when in reality they've not written off any of their investment and have actually made a profit. All they've usually written...

I agree entirely on what I'd offer for the club were I in a position to do so. I'd only be willing to take on the third party creditors and debt. The point is would SISU accept that? We've seen from previous offers no they won't and increasingly the amount they are owed is down to interest on...

I agree but I think you could've possibly chosen a better example like Andrew's feckless wonders. William has at least spent some time doing things like air ambulance, albeit for a ridiculously small amount of time compared to the average pilot and will have found it far easier to get enrolled...

How many of these visitors actually SEE a royal? They, like the British tourists, stand outside the gates of Buckingham palace or whatever and take pictures of the building. I'd visit the White House if I were to go to Washington - doesn't mean I'd do it because the President lives there. As...

Yeah, as part of the going concern there will be a conversation between auditors and owners as to whether they intend to call in a debt/interest and they'll probably say no, but it's not legally binding. Just a sort of gentleman's agreement (needs a new name in the modern day that really). I...

No it isn't, but it still has to be accounted for and the club has to make allowances to show it can service that debt and interest should it actually be called in, even if everyone expects it to be deferred. So it does hamstring to a small degree. Most businesses working on credit are quite...

Trouble with Davies is that he comes across as a bit hotheaded and can react, so it's almost only a matter of time before he ends up suspended and someone comes in and potentially takes his place if they perform well. He's good at what he does but having a solid player at this level who can just...

Agree entirely but at least with that there is a manifesto to be used to hold them accountable to next time. This is like putting out a manifesto the entirety of which is "why not vote for us. The current lot aren't great are they".

Depends on the pitch you played on - if you were on one of the ones by the front gates they were and were really boggy but others like the one in the middle of the athletic tracks or used by Sparkes and Smith Clarke were above the buildings. Mind you, they weren't much better and were still a...

Difference is in America it's almost all about $$$$. If a franchise will likely make more somewhere else the league will move it quite happily - couldn't give a fuck about links to community. One possible exception is Green Bay, where the town would probably disappear if the Packers left. Also...

Yep. Very rare the average Joe has the faintest idea have invested money with, certainly via their pension pot and even with a financial advisor. At most they'll have a vague idea of what percentage of their money is in bonds, property, stocks and shares, interest etc. as part of some incredibly...

I think their flags should be split into three horizontal sections. Devon - brown on bottom, white in the middle, red on top Cornwall - brown on bottom, red in middle, white on top.

Well oil and gas will be incredibly scarce in a million years and with inflation as a fossil fuel he may well be worth that. Mind you, he was a fossil when he joined us!

Another thing that annoys me is the whole "British people regaining control of British laws" brigade in parliament. Don't think it's right that the EU have such a say in our legislation but when someone suggests letting the British public have a say on the ACTUAL deal to leave the EU rather than...
