Leeds only had 9 fit first teamers available today plus a bench of reserves but most of all they had honesty
Personally, I don't think that they'll go down, but you're right, it's far from impossible. I meant that their problems extend well beyond current form. Their owner was the bag man for Usmanov, but he doesn't have his endless wealth. Somehow, they're going to have to find the cost of a stadium that's probably going to cost in the region of £750m, having made £0 profit for a very long time and having little commercial income and no European football. Unless Moshiri's a front for someone else, there are some significant financial issues ahead, both next season and for quite a few to come.
Given Everton's recent habit of making us feel like we were better off not signing the players we passed on but they ultimately signed, what're the odds that Fonseca or Gattuso winds up in the Goodison meat grinder dugout?
Burnley have asked for their game against Watford to be postponed. They're the only side to have played less times than we have.
I always knew AFTV's, DT (aka Liam Goodenough) was a **** but I didn't realise just how much of one until today. Just found out he was given a year's sentence and a 10 year restraining order back in November for stalking and kidnapping his ex-girlfriend, it's now been announced that the sentence has been extended to 3 years. Prick.
I knew nothing about this before today. Apparently, he did this... . He sent the woman's brother messages threatening suicide and demanding to know the location she was at. Using a tracking feature on her phone, Goodenough drove to the hotel the victim was staying at and verbally abused her, as well as assaulting her companion. He then proceeded to photograph her in a state of undress. Goodenough then dragged the victim out of the hotel room to his car, suggesting he had a knife and that her son was in the vehicle. However, when she realised that her son was not in the car she tried to escape. A bystander intervened and the victim was able to get out of the car, while Goodenough escaped. I wish the sentence was a surprise...but it isn't. 12 months...? 12 years isn't enough.
Yeah, DH said. Mrs B has been dealing with this stuff for 20+ years and could tell you stories that would make you weep.
I said the other week that I believe Burnley will be relegated because the likely fixture compression they will suffer will be too much for their squad to endure, Of course, in an equitable football league, the fixture schedulers would attempt to space out their games more and eff any TV broadcaster who would have otherwise ...
Just played 'Guess The Sentence' with Mrs B, having read this to her. Her guess...? 6 months, maybe a year.... This ****ing country!
Do any of them get it right, though? It always seems to be either too lenient or too harsh. The UK gives you six months and the US gives you 837 years. Unless you're rich, that is. In that case you get **** all and an apology.
Yes, the multiple hundreds of years always seems odd to me. I think it's because they consider every charge separately and don't do 'served concurrently' or something like that. It's also worth remembering when you hear the astonishing stats about those in US prisons on life sentences, those figures do not include those with hundreds of years to serve, because technically it isn't a life sentence (although it is).
