initial £100,000 for Facey plus £50,000 for every five games, up to a maximum of 25 games :shock:
he nearly died dontcha know !
Says in that article that his illness made him lose about three stone -- think he might've needed to lose even more than that!

Erm, are they not helping to fight terroism? Stopping Terroism over there, and by that, stopping it from potentially reaching Britain by orders from Al-Qaeda and any other terroism groups that there are over there? Is potentially saving millions of lives not in your interests?
Also, the amount of people killed, in total, in the only terrorist attacks on British or US soil: 3,047.
Total amount of Iraqis killed since the US/UK invasion in 2003: 1,000,000+
Whose freedom is being taken away? Ours or the Iraqis?
(I've not just pulled that 1,000,000 out of the air, it's probably more than that. Between 7000 and 10000 Iraqi soldiers died during the initial invasion, 21000-26000 insurgents killed since Saddam was toppled; Civilian deaths (purely from counting up dead bodies) is between 103,000 and 112,000, estimated excess deaths (from the Lancet, not some pie in the sky nonsense) 650,000, and 'estimated violent deaths' from the Iraq Family Heath Survey is 151,000. That isn't counting the 4000 US soldiers who've died, 179 UK soldiers who've died and the 32,000 wounded. 1000+ contractors killed, thouands more wounded. And for what? All those lives pointlessly wasted.)

A few of them are heroes but not all. I think it's fair to call a solider who runs back into gunfire to save a fallen soliders life a hero or I remember reading about the bomb disposal guy who died trying to disarm one after successfully disarming a 100 plus before that one he could be called a hero but not the everyday solider who jus goes out an does his job for the gain of the government and oil companies. I think to brandish them all as Herod shows a great disrespect to the true heros out there and not just the ones fighting in the British army

The blokes who blew themselves up in the 7/7 attacks were British, well three were and one was Jamaican.
The blokes who flew aeroplanes into the World Trade Centre and Pentagon were Egyptian, Lebanese and Saudi.
Of all the people accused of the Madrid bombings, there were no Iraqis or Afghans.
We went to Iraq on the back of lies about weapons of mass destruction and UN resolutions for us to inspect weapons that didn't exist. If they had existed, the British government should have known, as they would have been the most likely candidates to sell them to Saddam. Same too with Libya.
The US had trained and funded Bin Laden in the 70s, the Bin Laden family are running buddies with the Bush family.
To suggest either the invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan were anything more than a political coup is nonsense. The troops were sent to remove the government and replace them with one more favourable to the West's thirst for oil/gas.
They're not heroes. Doctors who save lives are heroes. Soldiers who kill people and air force pilots who bomb homes and hospitals full of civilians aren't heroes.
-
The idea that these soldiers who joined, of their own volition, the army/air force/navy and are serving in Iraq or Afghanistan are heroes is utterly stupid. Who are they saving? Who are they serving? They don't serve my interests, or yours. Unless you have shares in Shell/BP/ExxonMobil.
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein.

Should have taken Adeyemi off after the sending off, I thought he was anonymous.
Diamond had an absolute stinker, way too slow and miles off the pace. Doesn't read the game well at all.
Thought Simpson and Kieron Lee were the only decent performers. Except for Paul Gerrard, who was magnificent.
The Tories in power and Paul Gerrard in goal, feels like 1992.

I started going to Boundary Park in 2001, ten years of third-division football and still I love the place
Games like the ones away at Goodison make it all worth while.

This is just pissing in the wind

I'm wondering where two of the few people who have signed up sit, as I've never seen them and I would have noticed them.
I've done a bit of twitter digging/stalking and one of them works for the company who makes these posters, the other is her 'bezzie la'.

I'll give myself up for a nomination here, made a bit of a tit of myself in the pre-season game against Burnley this year.
Was convinced that it was Rory Fallon playing up front for the Dingles, and for one reason or another, I think he's dreadful. So I was giving him a bit of stick, got to the point where a few others joined in too because he was having a poor game.. I realised about an hour in it was in fact Charlie Austin I was shouting at
Thought I'd keep quiet and get away with it.. Burnley take him off and the announcer said, as clear as day, 'coming off the field, number nine CHARLIE AUSTIN'
Whoops

Would be interesting to see the TV camera view of the 'nailed on' penalty claim from the first half.
I thought it was a penalty, from 110 yards away
-
I not saying the lad doesn't have issues. but I saw it different today. he was still tracking back & helping lee right up to the late injury (cramp?)
I am still amazed that a professional footballer can be forced off the pitch with cramp

Also in the Man Citeh novelty items section:
Three decorative stars
Haaland's tear stained memoirs
'Curly Watts 9' replica shirt

Filipe Morais looks right at home in that 80s shirt
-
I'll give him a lift to and from training if he signs up

Next week is Cat C.
£15 in the Chaddy / RRE.
Even at £15 I feel robbed
If that had cost £22
-
I am glad someone spotted the reference
-
I am assuming this will be in anticipation of his 250th appearance for the Latics, which will be tomorrow if he plays?
Unless he has discovered a time travel device and will be back in the morning with Palmer, Richie, Milligan and Holden circa 1990.

I am sure we were linked with a move for Njazi Kuqi a few years back.
Though, saying that, we've been linked with pretty much anyone who has ever kicked a football at some stage or another

If you promise come along and sing - with an an official OAFC songbook provided at the gate - you get in free.
ST holders get priority pie-queue tickets.

That was one of the most lacklustre games I have ever seen. I feel like I have had an afternoon of my life stolen from me.

I don't think there is enough chaddy merchendise available in the shop. The marketing potentialis incredible and it keeps the little ones interested. My kids only go to see chaddy
They don't come for the football
-
I think whatever decision he makes - whether it's Diamond/M'Voto or Diamond/Clarke - he has to stick with it. There's already going to be upheaval at the back with no real left-back for next week's game, chopping and changing the other three won't help.
I'd personally stick with Diamond and M'Voto, neither have been brilliant so far but we saw last season how good big Jean can be. I think it's easy to forget how young he is as well.
Saying that, he's the same age as me
-
If they'd smothered the ball in peanut butter he might've caught it. Always amazes me when footballers are overweight

Definite red. I was slating the ref at the time, from the Chaddy. Wesolowski on Twitter saying he didn't see it, stood five yards away! Cheeky.

They're a massive set of chancers, aren't they
