Perhaps they want to change their name to.....

Some F***a has been on this board and pinched my theory :winkold:

Problem is the fans have had to much say in what goes on at the club. Big Sam should have been given a real chance, not just sacked on the more vocal fans say. Fanatics do not always have the best judgement.

Just watching the price of imported goods rising very quickly. Items we could all afford last year will be out of our reach, its going to get very tough in the UK before it gets any better. IMO

Think this sums it all up quite well, especially the "money into money to get more money" bit. The dream continues, for some.

If we let all the industries go to the wall what will we trade with the world for our imports? The banking system is shot and a new world player will take our place in the banking world, IMO. For far to long this country has let industry go to the wall while countries like the USA, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, China and most of Asia have both built and supported theirs. This recession will drag on for us and the pound will loose a lot more value against foreign currencies if this attitude continues. We will have to dig up the old mines and reestablish our industries if we are to build this country up again. The banks have cost us more than any industry in history and to trust them with our future again is a big mistake, all strictly IMO.

Gross misconduct, he should have been sacked and forfeited his pension, as most employees in 'normal jobs' would be.

Typical, who will benefit from it? The share holders/ government. Quite a few business are using this credit crunch to destroy employees terms and conditions and you should check yours. Just because 'the management' have made a mess, it does not mean contract law has been suspended, despite all the fuss thats being made. To change any terms they need to get the nod from the employees or their representatives. Rant over

The Great Outdoors, classic comedy, I agree slumdog is a good film, different from the usual story lines, Taken is a good action film, but my award goes to Clubbed a great film.

But instead we have used all the money to re-create a badly run peoples bank and let the well run business go to the wall.

Globalisation IMO Innovation is the key. Its the one thing that made Great Britain great, but its now missing. We will not even support our own industries, let alone fund innovation. Lets riot :wink:

IMHO Housing market was over hyped by greedy bankers, greedy house owners and stupid purchasers. When the average UK wage is around £30,000, How can a basic 3 bed semi be worth £200,000? over 6 x the average wage, the market was always liable to fail. The housing boom was fed by greedy bankers willing to lend high risk loans that had no relationship to the borrowers ability or means to pay back the money outside of perfect market conditions. The banks/ Surveyors should never have valued properties at such high values. Mortgages would not have been given and then house prices would have remained at a sensible sustainable level. But greed from all corners kicked in. The banks made money on the massive mortgages and the house holder made money from inflated prices. Just like a massive ponzi scheme. The real worry is the people who are now waiting/ encouraging the market to regain its strength and the prices start to increase, before they sell. Should be a very long wait but I have my doubts and suspect the government have become accustomed to the over inflated housing market generating massive amounts of revenue. Have a nice day and UTV (on a brighter note, Heskey 'will' score tonight)

So the highest risk bonds are now government backed, do you think these will now be traded/sold on? Sounds very much like it's all starting again.IMO

No he should not play for england, he is a crap player and others like jenas should get their chance............

Because hes so small he cant reach over the edge of a boat . IMO, you need to go to specsavers.

Defoe, why? watched him play for portsmouth over a couple of games, he is a real handful. Quick, clever, not injury prone, english, young. Would like any of the others as well, accept perhaps crouch, looks to me like he is hitting the sort of form I remember from his last stint at villa.

IMO An average house price should be 3 1/2 times the average wage, which would make it about £110,000. At the moment its £170,000.......

England highlight Euro 96, all down hill from that point on
