    and IF we did sell him..who would you have to replace him..

     

    knowing gartside no fucker

     

    whats the point in selling stelios for 1 million, without replacing him, when the money goes fcuk all way to paying back our debts? no doubt northy is right though - there will be no replacement purchased for the 1 million we get from him, because gartside is a tight fucker! ](*,)

    STUNNER FOR SAM AS STU SWOOPS FOR ??1M STELIOS

    By Alan Nixon

    Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce swooped for Bolton's Greek star Stelios Giannakopoulos in a dramatic ??1m raid last night.

     

    Pearce agreed a fee and quickly thrashed out terms on a ??25,000-a-week contract for the Wanderers star who has been angling to move for weeks.

     

    The City chief sees Stelios as an ideal right-sided replacement for Shaun Wright-Phillips, turning to him after Fulham's Steed Malbranque refused to move.

     

    Stelios had seemed destined for Liverpool, who courted him during the close season but ultimately would not offer him the deal - or the guarantee of first-team football - that he wanted.

     

    While Liverpool hesitated, City moved in decisively for the Euro 2004 winner who was a hit in Bolton's run to Europe last season.

     

    Pearce has had a tough first summer in management after losing Wright-Phillips to Chelsea. But Stelios's signing will be a solid start to the season.

     

    The Greek's departure is a big blow to Bolton who had offered him a huge salary hike.

     

    Bolton boss Sam Allardyce could re-invest the cash on Southampton wide-man Fabrice Fernandes.

     

     

    is 1 million a fair price, considering he'd be free at the end of the year? A little low in my view. surely we could have asked a bit more from them, especially with their SWP windfall and the fact they were pretty desperate. Also, makes you wonder whether Liverpool did make a firm offer, and how low it must have been if they did. :-k

    he can fook off!!!

    If we really are so predictable and he's aware of how to do well against us then Villa should've beaten us in April.

     

    We played pretty badly overall last time at villa park - especially the 1st half - and they still needed Hierro to score for them!! I thought our most threatening players on the day were the wingers, especially Diouf, not those involved in the long-ball play such as Davies.

    If you where stood/sat next to the bomb then you'd have been blown into 1000 bits. Making it very hard to identify the people. I have seen pictures though in the mirror newspaper take thirty seconds after it exploded of people standing up at the front on the top deck of the bus. So maybe there won't be as many fatalities as we all think!

    Anyone who has been to uni will know that it's really difficult to get a 1st so well done

     

    It is very hard - you have to know when its time to work, and you have to make serious sacrifices. I worked very hard when i needed to, then enjoyed the other 6 1/2 days of the week. I often had to sacrifice the 10th pint of the night, in order to be up early the next afternoon (in time for cash in the attic at 12.30!) :D :D :D

    Anyway good luck in defending child molesters, rapists, theives etc, I'm sure you'll sleep well enough when you get them off and count your wages.  :D

     

    I'll be working for a Commercial law firm, helping rich corporations get richer. How moral of me!! :D

    Unlike locking them up where it's a win-win situation for society?

     

    The idea of imprisonment for murderers and all prisoners in fact, isn't a question of revenge, it's a question of punishment, public protection and often rehab.

     

    And secondly the idea that keeping someone locked up costs more than executing someone is false as well. The average British prisoner costs the taxpayer, I read, 25 grand a year. The average length of time spent on death row by an American is 25 years due to appeal processes that cost millions upon millions of tax dollars. And that's the only way it can be as you are contesting whether or not a human being's life is ended.

     

    Pretty much the way i see it myself, but it is hard to generalise and say that such punishment will work in every case. I dont see what the problem with the system at the moment is. Offenders should be given a minimum sentence for their crime, depending on all the circumstances, and given a sentence that reflects the seriousness of the (murder). However, as a danger to society, they should then be incapacitated until they have been rehabilitated to the point at which they are no longer a threat. If they remain a threat to society, they should not be released.

     

    Dont agree with death penalty myself. Keep them locked up and make them pay for their crime day after day. People say it would act as a deterrant, but how many people commit murders with the expectation that they will be caught?
