Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Sticking it on here, rather than a new thread, as I don't want to give it importance that perhaps it shouldn't have, I notice (from SaintsWeb) that Southampton FC have taken out another loan from the company that leant us money at the start of last season. The original loan has been repaid. The first loan was set against the Sky money, but this appears to be more substantial being set against the club. It has been pointed out that other clubs have also reported loans, so is not unusual. I would be more worried if I thought someone was trying to make a fast buck, but Nicola acts like a man here for the long haul. Perhaps the discussion with Katerina was not to get more money from the Leihberrs, but permission to borrow the necessary funds to push the club on.

 

That's the difference between Rossi and Schumacher/Vettel. He was questioned as the greatest, so he went out and proved it on a slower bike, something Vettel will never have the balls to do.

 

Because Vettel isn't that good.

Please no.

 

Posted the other day. I would take him if can cut out his diving antics.

 

But he never will. I use to like him at Villa until he started the stick my leg out and throw myself crap.

 

All I read were the words 'pace' and 'crossing ability' to make me want him.

 

Doesn't the phrase "we understand" make you want to stab your own eyeballs out.

 

Yes, along with "Our Sources say" or "According to Sky Italia".

 

HOAX !

Agreed. Vale your Schumi, Lorenzo is your Alonso. Marquez your rookie year Hamilton.....will be fascinating to watch it all develop.

 

That's just not correct. Rossi did precisely the same thing that Schumacher did when he joined Ferrari. Took hold of an ailing team and made them champions. It's also far too early to say "Vettel will never have the balls" to do the same.....he's only 26 ffs!

 

I'm no fan as it happens, but I really don't see this is the case. You can only beat what's in front of you, and he does that consistently and without making hardly any mistakes. Don't be fooled, he's very, very good.

 

Vettel is indeed very good , but put Alonso in that car and see what it can do .

Most important and influential man in any TEAM is IMHO Mr A .Newey .

 

not listening !!!!!!!

 

More importantly....what happened to my capital letters?

 

I agree that Alonso is all round a more complete driver and also that the key influencer here is Adrian Newey. However, stick Alonso in that car and see what it can do - well, he'd go and win the majority of races. Just the same as.......Vettel does.

 

That was my point .

 

The difference with the bike riders though is that they are all normal guys with great personalities.

 

Do you know them all personally?
