    Fixed Odds machines

    I have never used one and have no intention either but it's a hot topic in the media at the moment. Some geezer on 5Live said words to the effect that if the maximum stake was lowered from £100 to £2 it would cost 12,000 jobs. Doesn't he mean "Profits would drop and it will affect my bonus"...

    What happens to corporate profits?

    If I have money in a bank, it's protected up to £85,000. What protection do big companies have when they make £billions in profit?

    MaccyDs, right or wrong

    I read the MacDonalds' sales and profits have slumped for the 4th quarter in a row. Is this because people are more choosy? Their products have lost their quality. There is more, and better competition? I recall the queues when the first High Street one opened, incredible! And the burgers and...

    Tribute to Phillip Hughes

    As the sports world comes to terms with the tragic accident that took the life of Phil Hughes, what does the Zone think about suggesting to our club that they change the squad number of Captain John White to 63. Different sport I know, and not even sure it can be done at this stage of the...

    Best processed cheese

    For me it has to be primula Cheese and Ham flavour. The space age packaging is great but the fact that all profits go to charity is the icing on the cake. I am also a big fan of German smaoked cheeses. Any other afficionados out there?

    Co-op bank pays "effective" tax rate of 1.9% on profits

    Using the Guardian's method of calculation, the ethical Co-Op only pays 1.9% http://www.fcablog.org.uk/2011/02/exclusive-your-caring-sharing-tax-avoiding-co-op-bank/ Wonder if this will be publicised by them?

  11. Oil Company Profits

    So, in the interests of informed debate, the oil majors published their year end results this week. With the exception of BP (for obvious reasons), they all posted significant profit increases. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

    Sky to Announce Record Profits

    Sky TV will soon announce record profits. I say good luck to them. Plenty will starting moaning about their charges, presumably the same people who laughed when they were running up massive losses in the early 90's. Well done Sky.

    Forget the Champions League. Forget the Europa League. Forget the FA Cup. For Liverpool, nothing now is more important than the Premier League.

    Folks, I've kept myself deliberately quiet this past week or so and been quite content to let everyone else post their thoughts and opinions about everything that's been going on around the club of late. That's not because I don't have opinions myself, far from it, I just didn't see the point of...

    Taken from the New Scientist, fascinating article that I totally agree with. I know it's an age old topic on here but it's a slow day. Far from protecting us and our children, the war on drugs is making the world a much more dangerous place. SO FAR this year, about 4000 people have died in...

    Football as a business

    Bear with me but the following are some quotes from the above chapter in Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski's excellent "Why England lose (and other curious football phenomena explained)" which I think has a lot of relevance for SUFC's current situation. "Football is neither big business nor good...
