That's why I said it's the flip side and why there needs to be a mix. There is of course the argument that people won't go in if it's raining if there's no cover, although frankly I have to admit I don't go into town if it's raining persistently unless it's absolutely necessary - I'll wait...

But on the flip side a lot of the arcades and stuff feel too enclosed and uninviting. There's also the idea that protection from the rain just results in window shopping. If there's a bit of rain you can still just stand outside and not be affected. No protection sees people nip into shops to...

Sol has made a decent start to his managerial career so fair play to him. Will remain to be seen if it's a new manager honeymoon or long term success but so far he's showing he's capable of managing. My gut tells me eventually his ego will cause rifts with players, but we shall see.

It's more Kevin Nolan than Notts Co I reckon. Personally I'm not bothered either way - if they play badly enough to be relegated they should be, just like any other team. Don't 'hope' they do that and go down though.

It should be that the other team has an opportunity to at least match whatever the first team did, so if the first team score a TD the other get a chance to reply with a TD of their own. Also think that should carry on and if on the second possession they score a field goal there should be a...

Sorry, wasn't aimed specifically at you that paragraph.

Kind of, but it would depend on who the wage cap was for and to what extent. On one hand it gives them a good excuse for not paying more of the pot to the players and so can profit excessively themselves, but at the same time it stops them developing their brand and becoming market leaders. How...

That's a bit excessive isn't it!

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...
