Pinball Machines I don't collect Vinyl myself, but know a few people who do and they also own iPods (or whatever). It's a seperate issue imo. Books will stop becoming the defacto reading method and will instead, become a collectors ... fetish (for the want of a better word) I've got nowt against people who grew up listening to vinyl collecting it, in much the same way I have a soft spot for VHS despite them being shite. It's the NME/Glasto crowd who preach that vinyl is a must and people who listen to CDs are heathens, despite not being born the last time vinyl was actually mass produced Where do you meet these people? I kna I collect vinyls but listen to the majority of my music digitally.

Andy Gray returns as Alan Smithee.

Thought that when I saw the Routledge news. Seems an obvious solution if both parties want to sign.

Think the player's committee was in the press before yee mentioned it like

Mackem in "Not clever enough to argue" shocker.

Spent a day around Alton Towers yesterday and the night before in the hotel. Park is good fun like, though if I'd queued 40 minutes for the rollercoaster that takes 8 seconds, I'd be well pissed off.

Just what I was about to post. Sitting in the hostel all night with his mates pretending that they're having a good time.

Meeting me for illicit sex acts. Move along.

Geremi was captain for a while

Cheers.

Apart from the fact every single club on the planet does it to some extent. Transfer income is just club income like any other. Do they? I've literally never heard that until NUFC have been using it as an excuse. Find me some examples?

I can actually imagine the scenes. Half 4 in the morning at Aspers, half-cut, making business plans to sell someone for £30 million every summer until they're even.

Think it's open to everyone now.

You need to cancel your diary for tonight, get a warm mug of cocoa and get Chez on the PM. Because he's intelligent enough to argue a different point of view and you're not? Plus, I don't think he feels strongly for the opposite point of view.

So, anyone want to make a Toontastic circle?

The notion of paying player's wages through monies taken from selling players is absolutely ridiculous and impossible to believe.

Think Fiorentina is the first friendly I can get to. Even then it's touch and go.

"Why is it that NUFC is only club stating that players salaries are paid out of monies received from selling players? Complete rubbish" From Twitter and hard to disagree with.

I've actually answered all the aspects of your point, you're just too stupid to understand your own opinions. To CT, obviously.

I am afraid if you can not see the connection between excellent training facilities and players training better and staying fitter, hence not missing games, then it is indeed you who is clueless on this point. Can't remember us having bad injury problems for a while since the facilities got a massive upgrade when Fat Sam came here. Could it be that spending money on the training ground is a convenient excuse for not having to spend anywhere? Couldn't be.

What benefits the first team more, CT? Undersoil heating at the training ground? Proven Goalscorer?

Putting aside where the money comes from, the fact they have done what they have at the training ground imo is fantastic news and could well get us quite a few extra points next season. The pitches up there are now said to be like bowling greens and the under soil heating will allow training all year long. Could drastically reduce the niggles setting in due to training on crap surfaces or for the matter injuries whilst training. At the end of the day if they have had to steal a mill from the Carrol fee then it is money well spent imo. More than some new players? Pound for pound definitely. If Alex says its 300k... then what would you get for that.....a fourth choice squad kid at best. Now keeping Ben Arfa or Ba injury free... Spending £10 million on a goalscorer gets you more points than a 300k training pitch. Does this really need to be argued? I think the point escapes you. No, your point is that you genuinely think undersoil heating will get us more points than otherwise. I genuinely think that their notion of "spending some of the 35 million on the training ground" is absolute bullshit that only the most deluded man could believe = a wise spending at a club that desperately needs it spent on players. It won't get us any more points and believing it will shows a total fundamental lack of understanding about the game of football. Better players gets you points, not the same players playing on a slightly different pitch every morning.

Fucking hell, let's hope there's nowt more that goes wrong.
