  1. Stand tall at first and get the crowd anxious? 1-3. Them with a last ditch consolation.
  2. Need to spend his old pound coins too.
  3. Last update on BN said we were doing well.
  4. Were you supping something strong last night; that's a brave one. Hope you're right though!
  5. I understand your point Bolty, but as Cassie says, be a bit pointless if we just stayed in one place. If you asked the pie eaters, I'd bet to a man, they'd take their current plight for the fa cup win. Something to pass on to kids and grandkids. For me the problem is the hugely bloated cash reserve of the premier league, not the fact its the top league.
  6. Would be nice, probably get £4m for him.
  7. Not sure your last bit could happen. Orbit etc that developed the site would have the income from the units. For the club to have invested jointly, would have been expensive; not sure they could have afforded it, having to pay for a new stadium. Could be wrong though.
  8. These will dissolve/disperse the oil, but as they are volatile and of low viscosity they may spread further around/into the substrate and then evaporate. Stain gets paler but bigger. Great if the oil was spilled on a non porous surface, not so sure on a drive.
  9. Still a lot of acrimony between the two, thinly veiled digs at each other, and spokesmen putting out critical information. Perhaps blue marble would be happy to own the hotel, with a buy back clause should the club be in a position to do so.
  10. Did see a programme about fungi a while back. Bare with me.... A former scrap yard type place had very heavily contaminated ground. Normally this would have to be dug up and removed and treated as waste before site could be redeveloped. Very expensive. They tried a new method of covering the area with saw dust or some such laced with fungal spores. (Don't know species). Within a day (iirc) the oil had been chomped and broken down by the fungus. Amazing stuff. Some stuff here. https://www.permaculture.co.uk/readers-solutions/using-fungi-clean-pollutants
  11. Raggy blart.
  12. Miami- see how good your memory is and guess what the cards are before he turns them over.
  13. Get the impression that's ka's angle.
  14. In today's prices, can we not sell Pratley for £10m+. Gaz is on fire so must be worth at least £15m.
  15. Suggested today that massives are prepared to pay the £275m buy out for messi. He's 31 ffs. Where's that FFP ruling gone?
  16. Aye. But he'll want his slice too, quite rightly. As he says only vultures circling and I can't see a serious offer until this blue marble shit is sorted. Unless someone with silly money comes in- and as Barnsley are reportedly being looked at- anything is possible.
  17. Sometimes hear about German football. Good crowds, decent prices, and a successful national team. Seem to manage OK without glorified 'premier league' status.
  18. Pretty sure there'll be some proprietary product or degreaser suitable for this. Suppose a stain may always be visible, depending on what the substrate is and how much has soaked in. One thing I do if I get pine resin on my hands (tough to remove with soap and water) is pour a little veg oil onto my hands and work it into the resin, before washing with washing up liquid. Works a treat and may be worth trying on a small bit. Rub in some clean veg oil, perhaps with a stiff hand brush. If you see the engine oil coming out of the drive and dispersing into the veg oil that's a good sign. Then I'd rub in neat washing up liquid until it turns a dirty white colour. Then wash away with water.
  19. Seems to have taken ages to get it sorted. Will soon be full of splodged chewing gum and fag ends. A few trees to roost resident pasty crumb removal pigeons.
  20. That's fair enough. Wonder what happens to the million dh supposedly took for sorting this out? Could the court not go after that?
  21. That last bit is disappointingly non aspirational from you Bolty! Any team in the top flight is there on merit. Who knows in a few years we might be back there, with kevin Nolan (Sam's protege) at the helm, and a thirty two year old harry Kane leading the line!
  22. If their loan was with a liquidated company, then does that "guarantee" still exist? Dunno how all this works, but there's a little story about the wife's grandad. He was a business man who was fleeced by a dodgy financial advisor/investor. Grandad took him to court and won and by default ended up owning an egg company (golden lay?) as the con man couldnt pay fully. The company was basically defunct so he just owned the name in reality. Not sure of the details by seems some similarity. All we be revealed I suppose.
  23. In reality, would that matter greatly? A minority shareholder, with shares that I'd imagine aren't worth a great deal at the moment. Just seems until a deal is agreed between ka and them not much changes. Unless we carry on in the same vein on the pitch and their value drops. This could be bollocks of course
  24. Indeed. A watershed moment. Unless its delayed again. Hopefully, things will become clearer. Could give the whole club a boost.
  25. As madhatter points out pal, its not one group or another. Can't say what nationalities they were, may have been poles, Estonians whatever. Fact remains that I and colleagues had to spend a disproportionate amount of time working (pissing in the wind) clearing up shitholes predominantly occupied by folk from foreign countries. One team was met with black bin liners filled with excrement being chucked into a back street by eastern Europeans. Inevitably when you experience something like this you draw conclusions; whether they are working or not wasn't the point I was making. Simply that too many folk have arrived quicker than the country can cope with and unfortunately if they are housed in areas already run down the problem seems to get worse. No doubt you've encountered grafters gonzo; I've got no issue with poles (eyes opened by my visit to the national memorial arboretum), but simply that not everyone coming in shares the same social values
