The Boxer is literally one of the best songs ever written, imho. Wonderful lyrics and beautiful harmonies.

That truly is a great album, too

If you want another classic from the 70's bunk:

Yes, he'll look better in the best team in the world.

Hardly surprising.

Paquata is proven and he will fit them

He's worth every penny.

Silva was literally one the best players who has ever played in the PL.

Paqueta is a rung or two lower than him on the ladder, at best.

We wear black Wranglers

Wasn't really sure what was going on

Even by his standards that would be a weak excuse, £40m plus profits from the last 2 windows, and very likely £85m cash coming in from Citeh for Paqueta so there should already be a big budget, and anyway we still have to pay at the start of June, window doesn’t open until 14th. You’d like to think...

Yes, sure, but only a start. That doesn't actually do anything in the 'holding to account' stakes, it appears.

He's using Moyes as his scapegoat and it's working.

Hardly an option, not having people 'scream' online, is it?

So, your options for holding him to account are what?

Not renewing hurts us as much as him, but no reason to pay before you have to. That is the crux of the matter, though, with respect. I am not in the business of telling people what to do with their money, in all honesty, but, if the tactic is to 'not pay before you have to', doesn't he still get th...

Nice bit of techno, but relaxed pace.

If nobody renewed their ST's or paid for other tickets, he would be.

Any other method?

They have in fairness, already won 18 games. Set fair to win >50% of their league matches, which is creditable, given that they lost their talismanic goalscorer.

For balance, they've only had to play 41 games in total.

Race Across the World Bit of a guilty pleasure. In this new series the teams have get from Japan to Indonesia (Lombok). It's good harmless fun and some great scenery. Watched this on catch up yesterday, too. I reckon the older couple will crash out first. Was amazed by the difference in sizes betwe...

71% possession today - no goals - 2 shots on target.

Ok, so some guidance, please, from the rules'n'regs boffins amongst us. Firstly, what is the situation with the 5th placed team in the Prem / CL qualification? Is this already decided, or contingent on the further progress of City/Arsenal/Liverpool/West Ham/Villa vs Bayern (obvs Arsenal's opponents)...

The road system in London before the introduction of 1. Speedbumps 2. LTNs 3. Unused cycle lanes, 4. All the other bollards/Street furniture cluttering them up.
