  1. Mike Keegan said he has put in a call to Scholes people and they are normally vey fast to deny knowledge of anything tht isnt true. Unusally he has not had a responce as yet which is why he thinks it may have legs. he also said we hae had 17 notifications of interest before the LJ news was official

     

    Good to know they got my emails.

  2. Yet more soap opera nonsense from the Premier League.

     

    Celebrations today are ludicrously over the top ........out world superstar raising his hands to the sky last summer after scoring his first and only World Cup goal.... as we lost again.

     

    Pointing to the sky is hardly an ostentatious gesture, and at the time it gave us a way back into the match so was worth celebrating.

     

    Making a little heart shape with your hands; now there's a bookable offence if I ever saw one.

  3. Wow, never knew that! Reckon it was massively beneficial or?

     

    I believe the backpass was outlawed in order to stop boring time-wasting tactics. A team winning 1-0 could just send the ball to the keeper and he could pick it up and wander around bouncing it for a bit. This came after the wonderfully boring 1990 world cup.

     

    I'm happy to be corrected by someone who wasn't still in nappies at the time though.

  4. I love the 'Ajax style' blue and white kit and I'd pair it with the, ahem, electric orange change strip.

     

    However I am but one man, and it seems there are many that for some reason many don't agree. Now it's not for me to call these people philistines, their opinions count just as much as those that do like these kits.

     

    They're wrong though.

  5. It clearly has potential to bring about a conflict of interest though. My example was extreme but say there are four games left and Latics have nothing to play for when they meet Brentford; there's a clear incentive to make sure Brentford get the points towards promotion.

     

    Shouldn't be allowed, in my opinion, just as the people involved betting on such things is not allowed.

     

    You make a good point. There's no reason they couldn't just structure deals to depend on appearances I suppose.

  6. Say that we were to play Brentford last game of the season and they needed a win to get promotion...

     

    We've got nothing to play for.

     

    By winning, we finish one place higher in midtable.

     

    By losing, we finish one place lower in midtable and end up £100k better off.

     

    Not great for Brentford's promotion rivals.

     

    I suppose it's possible. Unlikely enough not to be a problem though.
