  1. We have been a previous customer of Sky in the last 12 months but don't currently subscribe. We want to upgrade to Sky + with all premium channels. Any advice on the cheapest way to do this? I know if you are a new customer you get half price package for 4 months and a Sky + box for 89 pounds. But some people have mentioned that you don't need to be a new customer, there are deals for existing customers or previous customers but you just need to know how to play the game with Sky to get a good deal. Any ideas? If we changed the name from me to my wife would they view that as being a new customer (I doubt it!). Any sensible suggestions welcome!
  2. Will this poll be legally binding for Parry and Rafa to act upon?
  3. Cisse's Dad angrily denies claims that attention seeking runs in the family.
  4. I'm a little teapot Short and stout Here is my handle Here is my spout When I get all steamed up Hear me shout "Tip me over and pour me out!"
  5. Some great captions in this thread. Above being my favourite so far. Why not have a poll to choose the best each month and then a final poll in December for the best of the best?
  6. Do you reckon any of the players bother to read this forum to see what the fans think? I doubt they will admit it but I bet they do. With all that 'leisure' time they get I'm sure they look at this site in between surfing the porn.
  7. A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant building plot. One day Willie and a gang of building workers turned up to start building a house on the empty plot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. They even gave her very own hard hat and gloves. At the end of the first week they presented her with a pay envelope containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. When they got to the bank the cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'. "You must have worked very hard to earn all this" said the bank cashier. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with the men building a big house." "My goodness gracious," said the cashier, "Will you be working on the house again this week, as well?" The little girl thought for a moment and said, "I think so. Provided those c*nts at Jewson deliver the f**king bricks."
  8. Whenever I saw his name on the team sheet it made me uncomfortable. A weak link in the team prone to mistakes. Also gave the ball away too much when pushing forward up the left flank. You could see other team mates only passing to him if it was the absolute last option because it was a similar choice to just kicking the ball out of play, it was unlikely he would make a good pass. Also feel like that about Garcia that when you see a player pass to him there is a 50/50 chance that Garcia will lose posession to easily by getting bundled off the ball. Difference is that Garcia is a match winner. Anyway that's just my opinion, Rafa knows best! Whatever he decides is good with me and I'm sure that will make him sleep better at night (Rafa) knowing he has my approval.
  9. I got the impression that it was Hansen who had been taking the piss out of Flo. Definately.... Ian couldn't stop laughing about it.
  10. I was lucky enough to go to the match and I've never seen the full TV coverage yet. Are there any DVD's you can buy that show the whole match including coverage of the build up and then celebrations after the match? My missus bought me an LFC DVD at Xmas but it only shows the highlights of the whole season.
  11. West Ham just equalised a minute after half time. Get in there.... :tease:
  12. Viz from Coronation Street might possibly be good in bed but you would marry her..... :no
  13. Must have moved Ellesmere Port since I last looked. Used to be in Cheshire. Wirral only has posh places like Heswall, Caldy, Gayton and erm.... Birkenhead.
  14. I'm working in Holland for a few months and the Dutch guys really rate Kuyt as a player. They reckon he's not the most technical player but is very hard working and gets the results.
  15. Nunavut, user name was a toss up between oxtail soup and oxo because that's my dad used to take to the match with me as a kid. Johnb - Robbie said that he had lost his pace but didn't think it had affected his game too much because he still had the touch. And last season he did show that he had that touch at City with a good run of games and performances. Personally I don't think he's good enough now for a first team place but I do think there is room for him at the club in bringing the youngsters through and may be as a supersub if needed. He may even surprise us!
  16. He will be able to give Rafa a lift to Melwood each day (or vice versa). So that would save them 2.60 per day. Bargain.
  17. It would be great to see him back, in whatever capacity. If he can still score goals then great but even working with the youngsters coming through would be good too. He might be free but what sort of salary wpuld he want. Can't see us paying out £50k a week.
