Haha yeah sorry mate, i didn't mean it too seriously, just didn't feel like i didn't express myself properly. Clearly those that "only" donate 6000 should be on the pine!

Why not HT. I mean it in terms of capping at 150, if there are 10 others that want to go, that would cost the club at least 60,000 Surely it was 150 minimum

This may sound silly, though i don't really think so, but did they cap the night at 150? Because that would be a curious decision...

Well, not really. That was his salary and we were going to have to pay it anyway. Now, why he was on such an absurd amount of money is another matter

I agree with what's been presented so far Bub, but i don't think it will be all that comes forward. I think this comes first as part of the new attitude that the debt WILL be removed, not the board saying we HOPE the debt gets removed

Kiwi Demon, great effort! Welcome aboard, enjoy the highs, and (ride) the lows, because once you're on the MFC ship, your heart bleeds red and blue

While we're on cricket; Ireland 112 defeated by New Zealand 2/402

Johnson would really want to turn around what happened in the Caribbean series, especially from what i saw from him, if he wants to keep his spot for the Summer. The batting is interesting. I've never rated the middle order as being overly consistent, in that we could often lose a few wickets in a row, but there was always at least one player who would stake his claim on the innings. I think without the arrogance of the naturally winning culture, and without the confidence from having Gilchrist at 7 with Mcgrath and Warne to back up a score, we don't seem to be able to build the totals as powerfully as in the past. I personally can't see Hodge fixing this problem. Jacques i think still has time. Will watch Casson with interest

I wouldn't put it past this Australian team to do something like that. Yeah, but isn't it if, for instance, Australia lost 2 wickets off the last two balls, the D-L method would give the chase depending on those wickets lost, even if one was off the last ball and could only effect up to 6 runs. Generally i'm fine with it, but given it all becomes a game of ifs and buts, i'd prefer to see the game paused and completed the day after. Especially in this series as there is always a rest day after (i'm pretty sure) and the crowds are small anyway.

Was brilliant Karma that England lost on the last ball through a fielding error. That really as an odd decision by the English Captain. Especially i felt in his body language. When the umpire asked him, it really seemed as if he was looking at him in a "what are you talking about? as if i would even think that" kind of manner. Strange RR what's your view on the Duckworth-Lewis system? I know how it works, but find it odd the the Windies went from having to chase 214 at 4.28, to chasing 204 in 41 overs at 5 an over.

Fascinating to watch Australian cricket now, I'm very excited for the coming Summer. We should bring back our mid-90's uniform and play cricket like it used to be played

Rule change, make him stand in the traditional pose?

Goal difference could turn out to be crucial If you can beat Everton, they also face Arsenal and Chelsea, so it is fair to say that that win, plus victory over birmingham and wigan would put you above the Toffs. Massive last game against the Hammers though. Portsmouth has possibly the easiest run of all against Man city, blackburn, Middlesbrough and Fulham so i'd have to say they'd be in the box seat. Heskey's goal was so crucial in the title race, unfortunately ending it early i think, but thankfully pushing chelsea away

sorry dude, can't beat that torres

spurs 4 chelsea 4 WOW

so it comes down to the last 9/10 games, who is going to finish top? will arsenal hold on? or will man u finish all over the young gunners? or, and hate it as you will, will chelsea find a way to scrap back into the fight? they have two games in hand compared to arsenal, and should they come up as wins, they will be only 2 points behind them comparatively. Also holding home games against man u and arsenal in the run home, chelsea may not be the spent force this year that everyone believes they are. FWIW, i reckon man u will finish on top...bah!! but i think it's far from over

torres, sorry to mention this again, but is anyone else just marvelling at his skills/awareness/everything!? spurs great victory of chelsea! same goes for barnsley!

$%^ing tevez ha, watched the spurs thrashing of the gunners in a sports bar in cairo that didnt sell alcohol, that had a 25 pound minimum. ordered lasagne that was 24.90 and asked to pay 25 for it. the food didnt come till the 86th minute and it was spicy. all as odd as 5-1. come on you spurs!

it never ends!!!!! but still, torres...wow

torres....wow

good call on reading!! finally spurs have a bit of luck......travesty of a goal though/ what in the world is going on with liverpool

cahill, nutter!!!! couldn't happen to a nicer team at a better stage...well it could have been the winner, but you can't get everything you want ey

arsenal proved again that an attacking team is never out of a match. steven gerrard proved again that he is a freak. interesting game, especially considering man u and chelsea's performances the night before, wil be interesting to see their progress in the next few weeks. spurs league season officially ruined, bring on the cups!

sh*t

must say, watching the gunners play is quite ridiculous at the moment, they are just such a dangerous team going forward. certainly made bolton look a rabble...even more of a rabble. i didn't think spurs would be top 4, though i also didn't see us being this bad. toons will be a tough match. everton were unlucky i thought, another good performance and very unlucky with that last penalty shout. though reds look much better with torres methinks. arsenal will have to keep a close eye on man u, they just keep ticking off the points
