rip this joint please
think mainly just in Hull, but worth looking for where ever you may be. chip spice is certainly a delight, and i can recommend it unreservedly.
cheers to crackerjack for the quote tips.
went to York City recently.
an evening with boss Martin Foyle and Neil Redfearn was among the upcoming evening entertainment.
lovely pubs in York, and the football ground is a classic lower-league one: open away end, real 'pop side' type vibe along the sides, and the Kit-Kats do indeed taste better from their tuck shop..

So that's £100m for crap, a crock and a genius. Kaka better be on his game.

You'd think so, wouldn't you. But this is the kind of thinking that City should be avoiding - he's Brazilian, he plays for Milan, he must be good. Hart isn't amazing, but he;'s solid, and the last thing a dodgy team with a disintegrating defence needs is a keeper who lets powder puffs slip through his hands.
If they want to break the bank on a keeper, there's a bloke at Newcastle...

Kaka has more sense than money

Well, he's got a fair bit of money already. It's proving strangely difficult for City to attract anyone at all at the moment, why is that? You would have thought that as the only club who can offer that kind of money while everyone else is being credit crunched that they could take their pick.
Milan are certainly a club that like their players to grow old.

Well, there's money, and then there's £13m a year after tax, plus what i guess would be a hefty signing on fee, since he hasn't requested the transfer. I know which i'd rather have. The lure of a relegation struggle, with no CL next year, obviously has its limits. Living in the same city as a knob like ronaldo wouldn't help either

Yes, yes, yes, but today's big news is that Norwich have sacked Glenn Roeder

what's your current reading rich, do you think you'll get the title? i'm still not ready to buy into the idea of liverpool lasting a season in first place. chelsea may be lagging a bit but i'm sure that's only temporary.

Well, obviously I'm disappointed that this hasn't turned into 10 pages about possible replacements for Glenn Roeder, but from an outsider perspective, the title race seems almost over. It's like at the turn of the decade, when Leeds or Villa might be top, then Man U would just go "I'll take that, thank you very much" and everyone would do their bidding.
I think the make up of the top 4 is far from decided, though. Villa are looking good, but so are Everton. I think it'll be pretty close.

Well (given the obvious caveat that things can totally change in a much shorter time than you think especially when there are actually so few points between the top teams) I think United are looking strong at the moment. Chelsea seem to be in disarray and are sending out surprisingly defeatist messages and Liverpool aren't scoring enough goals at the moment. It's obviously wide open right now but I'm quietly confident.... last week I bet my friend a ton that United would finish above Liverpool although maybe that was bravado.

United are favourites, but it's nothing like as inevitable as some are making out.
Chelsea game excepted, they're not playing that well. Any wion against Wigan is good at the mo, but they were lucky against Stoke (where both Roo & Ron might have been sent off and they only won because some Stoke player took revenge on Ronaldo and got the red card that might have been his 2 mins earlier) and almost ran out of time against Boro.
Liverpool played 21, scored 35
Utd played 20, scored 33
before the Stoke match, Liverpool scored 9 in 3, compared to Utd's 6 in 4 matches, so unless 'at the moment' means 'in their last game' that doesn't stand up. They're also getting their best striker back, whereas united are abot to lose theirs for a few weeks. Which leaves them two disaffected stars and one flouncy twat (that's Berbatov, in case you were thinking Ronaldo).
