  1. There are much better players for that money but his agent, Jorge Mendes, is also Jose Mourinho's agent and he has bought several players before for huge money that were represented by Mendes. Mendes has already moved 3 of his players on to Monaco this summer though for over £100m in transfer fees. They are rumoured to be interested in Matic too so the whole story could possibly just be Jose doing his agent a favour and trying to increase his price or to speed up Monaco's interest in him.
  2. If you believe the Spanish press they say Atletico will be lucky to see £20million of the money from the Falcao deal. Most of the money apparently going to the 3rd party owners.
  3. I know Hearts owe Ukio about £15m but was that a loan or are they also providing all their daily banking and credit facilities?
  4. Think there is a few mistakes in the OP. Says Italy have only one but Balotelli and Cudicini both definitely have meadals.
  5. Five different teams have won the bundesliga in the last ten years. Bit unfair to call it a two horse race.
  6. Ben Thatcher only got an 8 game ban for nearly decapitating Pedro Mendes. The FA just seem to pluck random numbers out of the air when it comes to bans.
  7. Bates is an even bigger c*** than Murray and that is saying something!
  8. According to Regan the SFA have done more good in his time than the previous two decades! http://www.<No links to this website>/sport/football/football-news/sfas-stewart-regan-hits-back-1528874 Even ignoring the fact that he let the biggest team in the country be demoted to the lowest tier, and ignoring that attendance, viewing figures and TV deals are plummeting, here are some facts from his time - He presided over the first ever referees strike in Scottish football history Sacked the head of referees for a joke email Opposed Team GB at Olympics but couldn't prevent it happening anyway National team have been managerless for months Bottom of World Cup qualifying group World ranking has fallen from 41 to 72 UEFA country coefficient has fallen from 15 to 24 Loss of one Champions League place So Stewart, given all that, what exactly are the good things you claim to have done for Scottish football?
  9. Another football organisation making up decisions as the go. If they didn't want drop balls contested they should change the rules not retrospectively punish people who didn't break any rules.
  10. WiFi range extenders can have a bit of lag so if you were wanting to play Xbox online I would go for the power line adapter which creates a wired connection through your existing electrical cables. Or for the best of both worlds get one of the power line extenders like this http://www.ebuyer.com/322016-tp-link-wpa281-200mbps-wireless-n-powerline-extender-wpa281 This would let you hard wire the Xbox with an Ethernet cable but also acts like an extra router for any other wireless devices. Power line adapters work in pairs so you would need one plugged in near your original router to transmit the signal into the electrical wires. There is no point getting an extender for that though so as cheaper one will do like this http://www.ebuyer.com/263576-tp-link-200mbps-mini-powerline-adapter-single-tl-pa211 If you decide to buy go for at least the 200Mb versions. The older 85Mbs are a bit phased out now.
  11. Surely this isn't the same Lord Nimmo Smith that is chairing the hearing of dual contracts after Harper McLeods corrupt investigation?
  12. The stories that Wenger won't spend big are completely untrue. The problem is that the board will not sanction enough wages. He would easily be willing to spend £30 million but any player worth that much expects about £200,000 a week which the board could probably afford but choose not to pay! Last summer they thought they had agreed a deal with Mata for about £24m but Chelsea came in and offered him considerably more which they just couldn't compete with. The big criticism of Wenger is that he isn't really prepared to buy many players in the lower value range - maybe five to ten million - where wages wouldn't be a problem because he doesn't believe they are any better than the kids he can bring through.
  13. In some of the masters 5-a-side games there is a rule where you must have at least one player in the opposition half at all times. I would introduce a similar rule for normal 11-a-side games. Two players must be in opposition half (or at least on half-way line to stay on side). It would instantly kill off 4/5/1 formations which have destroyed much of the entertainment in football recently and force every team to play at least two strikers.
  14. See number 6 in their terms and conditions - If a lot of people do the bet they will soon wise up and cancel your free bet so you will lose money then. a bit too risky for me to try to be honest!
  15. Does anyone else find it absolutely crazy that Miller might buy our club for £11.2m and the way Jelavic is going he will be worth more than that himself in the english transfer market? It is actually quite depressing!
  16. And Lafferty's in the first game that was ruled out wrongly for offside!
