Cleon Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Good thing this is the world of football transfers and not logic land. Either way you want to look at it, it'll be a bad move and a bit of business on United's part. The transfer will happen, it's just a case of when imo. So sugar coat it however you want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzrab Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Evening all. I have just about recovered from the Christmas in July family dinner last night. It did take about 3 recovery beers mind you. Currently watching the Sth Jorea vs Japan East Asian cup game and have to say it has been a surprisingly good game so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzrab Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Christmas in July? It's an ex-pat Aussie thing. generally Christmas is scorching over here so a traditional roast, for most Brits, is not feasable. With July being the coldest month, in Australian terms, then a lot of ex pats, and quite a few Aussies now, have a 'mock' Christmas in July. I actually find it more fun than the actual Christmas to be fair. It's generally just an excuse to have a good meal and get drunk with the in-laws on my part. The wife pretty much does all the cooking and work bar me doing the heavy lifting and decorating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzrab Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 So do you do all the usual Christmas antics such as tree and presents etc? Yep we do all the usual Christmas antics such as Christmas carols and the like. The house gets the whole Christmas decoration treatment. The presents are a bit different. In my in laws family it is a secret Santa type deal. Basically you get 3 names and the upper limit is $3 for the presents. It makes for quite a fun/harrowing time buying the presents depending on who you get. Unfortunately i have to now take all the Christmas stuff down and get the house in order again. My wife went over to see some friends 2 years ago for July Christmas. How did she enjoy it? I was skeptical at first but now that i have done it a few times i actually enjoy it more than the actual Christmas. I think the reason for that is that it seems a bit less commercial and more fun. Especially the $3 gift limit thing. It makes for an interesting shop rather than people trying to outdo each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the first few times i was involved in it were a bit strange. My brain couldn't quite get used to the idea of Christmas in July. Now though it is one of my favourite events of the year. Not least because i get to make a turkey curry (another tradition the wife started) with all the leftovers the next day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 In the current climate, I question the wisdom of quitting one job without having another already lined up. The argument for that is, if I didn't quit my job how am I going to fit in any teaching through an agency? I would end up being sat here until March/April next year when all the jobs come out and if I applied for them people would look at the application and think 'what has he done with his qualification'. It is a risk I admit that, but I have to do it. The more agencies I sign on with, the better chance I have of getting work and the pay is good too. As long as I can pay the bills I will be happy because I will get the experience. 7 or 8 days a month will enable me to do that. I will also try and find a night job in a pub or something too.

fuzzrab Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Well it seems that Wenger has let all this money, he apparently has, go to his head. In my Guardian app on my phone he has, apparently, said that 100 mill Euros for Bale is crazy and makes a mockery of the FFPR but he is still looking to buy crazy Suarez for upwards up 50 mill pound. In other equally crazy news just for the very few Scots amongst us. It seems that Hearts have had a 6 month transfer embargo emplaced after going into administration, and indeed Dunferlime were hit with a similar penalty for the same offence. The interesting fact of this story is that Rangers, or as the pedantic Celtic fans will say 'newco*', got a 50,000 pound fine and a 12 month ban on transfers. The question that must be asked is why Rangers (newco*) were handed double the punishment for the same offence ( and the 12 month ban was by all accounts for going into admin). Up until now i had always accepted that we had, as a club, acted wrongly and were punished appropriately. indeed i thought it would be a good thing that we started anew and used the loyal youth that would otherwise not have had a chance. This desicion however smacks of hypocrisy and a blatant bias against Rangers (newco*). How then can the new org, the SPL/SPFL (or whatever it is called now), be seen as an independent body when it is the same people in charge that imposed such skewed sanctions? RANT OVER!! *I have said newco here for the inevitable slew of comments that say it is no longer Rangers but newco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defence is fine, was in the top 2 for best defence last season iirc. No-one kept more clean sheets than us. Our issue was scoring we sold our top scorer in January and that was what cost us promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only 1 side in England from Prem kept more clean sheets than us. Our issue is we never replaced Ched Evans but its hard to replace a 30 goal striker when you've got to make wage cuts and knock 40% wages off the annual bill. Weir seems to have tried to address this though with Brandy and Taylor so I guess its wait and see now how that actually plays out. Hoping for 3-2 tonight though.
