Someone i used to know was at cranfield military hospital,,,, one of the less popular recruits ended up having a live hand grenade inserted in him,,, with the pin still in obviously,,,, though there was some hesitation about how to get it out with dislodging the pin.

I’m calling BS on that. Quartermasters are really hot on the issue of live grenades. They would know if someone was about to follow one through

It’s far more easy for an owner to inject money into the club.

Just waiting for Ipswich to come up and be bound by FFP!!

 

Maybe the plan is to get relegated, inject loads of cash and rebound

Fair play to the fans who travelled up. Drive safely on the way home, it’s snowing in the Midlands now.

Just switched the match on and the cameras are focussed on the away fans. Is the match that bad?

We have had daphne, from eggheads, and micheal barrymore turn on the lights here n recent years.

Nicolas cage turned them on in bath one year.

Who is turning the lights on in sheffield this year?

Sean Bean, as every year.

Recently he’s taken to dressing up as Ned Stark and proclaiming “winter is coming” as he presses the red button

Surprising as his teams always tend to start slowly before clicking into gear

Seems odd that don't see Jokanovic as their long term manager. Looks like they have written this season off and are looking to re-build for next season already, but with enough time for a strong push to the play offs as an upside.

They were, I expect more from them to be honest - they have a reputation for being loud but it's undeserved from what happened last night.

The beautiful game

Benarous is

Is it ironic that Stoke can’t defend a long throw?

Decent from O’Dowda there

 

It won’t have been down to money… I seem to recall that we’re in quite a lucky position owing to the hard work (&connections) of @TomF  

You ever seen the cost of the foot at the good food show?! Now that’s bad!

As Ashton Vale is dead, where in BS3 or even  Bristol, would the best stadium in the world be built?

Apologies, I don't think I made myself clear. A previous poster suggested we can never improve Ashton Gate further. I argue that with enough money and time we could not only further expand Ashton Gate but we could turn Ashton Gate into the best stadium in the world if we wanted to do so. We may need to buy additional land and divert utilities and roads but none of that is impossible in a technical sense

You seem to be contradicting yourself there WR.

How so? If you spend enough money you can build anything, even a 40,000 seater stadium at Ashton Gate.

Agreed the last comment is the key to his stewardship.

In defence to the Lansdown family , the championship is an unfair league financially. The parachute payments have to be reviewed 

SL has been clear for a long time that he wants the club to be financially sustainable. Unfortunately, I don't think that is compatible with the challenges at Championship level. The revenue from TV and matchdays just isn't enough to cover the costs of a Championship level squad. I believe we already pay >100% of revenue on wages. The only way to become sustainable would be to have parachute payments, which would mean getting promoted so we are caught in a difficult position. I do wonder whether SL would take a risk if we weren't bound by FFP rules, to try to get us that promotion so that we become sustainable at this level and hopefully the next level up.

Do you remember AG before the upgrade?     

AG has been redeveloped to its maximum potential given the location in BS3. There’s no other ground space available to expand it further. That’s why SL wanted to relocate but the ‘village green’ legislation put a stop to that.
AG is now as good as gets.

I understand what you are saying, but with enough time and money we could have the best stadium in the world in BS3. These are the limiting factors for any built infrastructure.

If we reached the Premier League, were swimming in cash and were selling out every match, every effort would be made to extend the stadium further.

Not the most knowledgeable F1 watcher but the commentators were saying they'd be interested in knowing if Max had straightened his steering wheel to edge Hamilton out, while he's hardly full lock or anything Max doesn't straighten his steering wheel. Would think he could argue he just misjudged just how late he could leave the corner given he hasn't straightened the wheel.

The only way he makes that corner on that line is to brake earlier than Lewis. Max deliberately steamed into the corner with no intention of staying on track. He forced Lewis to either back off or have a collision. Most likely outcome is a three place grid drop at the next GP.
