he did sign that Ignacio Scocco, a player he had wanted at Brighton, who failed to do anything at Sunderland after signing for more than £3 million, and will leave at a significant loss. He also wants to sign Borini for like £14 million, has just signed Rodwell for £10 million, spent £2.5...

teams frequently make mistakes when it is obviously not going to work out. Portsmouth signed John Utaka, and Middlesborough signed Afonso Alves, both record signings that anyone lay person could see before they played that they were pointless signings. Just because you are a professional doesn't...

i like the line up, two strikers, a chance for Agustien to demonstrate he can actually contribute to the team, and five young players getting a run out. Hopefully we can get a solid victory to boost morale a bit around here.

his commitment to the cause might be admirable but the fact is the years he has spent at the lowest divisions will have stunted his growth and it is debatable whether he would be suited to a 46 game championship season where the quality is considerably superior to that even of the SPL. Rangers...

27, not played in a decent league in his career and floating around the lowest divisions of professional scottish football. i really hope there is no truth in this.

I have found that Buckley can shine in the big games but seems to have lost attention and focus now that the glitz and glamour of the Poyet era has come to an end. Under Poyet he could be up an down but infrequently and he was a real benefit in the starting line up or on the bench. Never seems...

I feel bad for Andy Naylor, i genuinely like his stuff in the Argus and his deadline day coverage, dont really get why people dislike him so much.

i plan to grab my tickets on the day, does anyone know what time the concourse will be opening to have a couple of drinks before the match?

I think he could be worth signing if the fee is around the million pound mark, not worth much more than that from what i have seen of him but i haven't seen much of him since West Ham. i would rather have Joe Mason who has more league experience and looked a darn side better than Baldock...

It looks like it will be a really good addition to the franchise, it looks a bit like the road warrior just with cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing action as a result of the massive budget. Apparently Tom Hardy is only going to have 16 lines like the original films as well so all signs are...

We have to piece together evidence and make conclusions based upon it. We do not have irrefutable evidence which as i said can never exist anyway, a confession you could always claim was forced, a report drawn up you could always claim was biased or falsified if you are determined to see it that...

The cry of conjecture will only get you so far in defence of the Russian stance and the fact you dismiss my arguments as thus suggests that you haven't actually been tracing the events in the Ukraine in the past year or Russian foreign policy in the last decade. You have dismissed irrefutable...

But it isn't all conjecture there is an abundance of evidence for these claims and only through the most extreme and blind approach could you possibly find an alternative view. Are you denying that Litvenenko or Yushchenko were not subject to poisoning by Putin's regime? or denying their role in...

A lot of the things said about Stalin were conjecture at the time and can only be proved in hindsight with access to the documentary record, even then holes exist however there are good grounds for presumption. Whilst there is neither time or space to delve in to the evidence surrounding these...

Whilst i believe that there is an dominant element of West vs Russia in this conflict i think the overwhelming evidence identifies Russia as the proactive force. In the Crimea the 'pro-Russian' forces were certainly no mere militia or spontaneous grassroots force as they possessed state of the...

I wouldn't see it as ideal for this reason and i also think putting up borders between ethnic groups could only exacerbate national tension and postpone the problems of the issue rather than resolve it. We witnessed a similar solution employed in the Balkans with the exchange of ethnic...

That is a fair point. The violence of the pro-Russian forces is not something to be condoned, particularly the recent targeting of the Malaysian Airways flight (although saying that there is no evidence as of yet that it was them but operating on the premise it was), however the government...

We will not support Ukraine against Russia the whilst they have significant investments in the City of London. Whilst we have put some sanctions on Russia they are very minor, and we are not stopping the purchasing of Russian Sovereign Bonds in fear that they will pull out there capital from our...

Religion is just a means many humans utilise as an excuse to espouse their ingrained hatred and to enact violent actions upon one another. Stalin and Mao killed tens of millions of people combined but it had nothing to do with religious motivations, in the case of Hitler he murdered millions of...

Whilst this is attempting to attack his point at the end of the day that is the fault of the legal system, whilst in my eyes the punishment of that case was not severe enough it does not mean that the Middlesborough fans' actions were any less of a crime or received an unjust punishment.
