    The Southampton blueprint

    This is an excellent article on Southampton's success. As recently as 2010 we were playing them in the league. Since then our paths have diverged as they have established themselves as a top half Premiership side. Whilst I think it unlikely that we'd have had quite the same success had we...

    Bet Fair challange

    I have recently entered a competition among a few mates where the challenge is turn an account containing only 20 pounds, into a 200 pound bank by the end of November. The rules are very simple you can either purely trade on price, or decide to wait on the out come, but you cannot invest on top...

    Clegg and Alexander in danger?

    Front page story in The Times today suggests Labour are looking at a 'decapitation strategy' of trying to get Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander beaten in their respective constituencies. Idea being that they are the two Lib Dems most closely associated with the coalition, so with them out of the...
  4. What is going on?

    Probably not the best time to post immediately after another frustrating match but here goes. After threatening to change the team and doing nothing Phil finally shakes things up and brings Jack Payne in to the team. He has a threatening shot after a few minutes and gets our goal. Any threat on...

  6. Asda

    I was just wondering if anybody picked up on the news yesterday with regards to the announcement by Asda that they will be expanding their presence in the UK by opening circa 300+ new stores (largely in the South of England)? Apparently this is at odd with the current strategy of the rest of...

    I have 12.9m in the bank and 2 masterful bowlers, 2 masterful bats, 1 exquisite bat with exceptional keeping...and that's it, trainees aside. I cannot decide whether to spend the money, or sell the rest of the high-wage players and relegate in everything for the season. I wanted to buy young on...

    Re: Prospects - Time to make a stand

    Re: Prospects - Time to make a stand So what with the Echo article the other week, it appears Prospects are again playing hard ball. You can in a way see their point, failed completions etc, but as a local business and not a private site for personal gain. Surely it is in their interest to go...
  11. Business is business - Why pay the players or management any more money ?

    Having been learning about business by following RM's business style I cannot see any reason to pay out anymore money to this lot ...... just tell PS to get down to training and tell them all the outstanding cash will be paid in full by the end of April - and get him to tell them the same thing...

    Has anyone else got an addiction to roulette? I have no doubt lost lots of money on the poxy wheel over the years! Yet the buzz you get from hitting your number still attracts me back. I don't have a particular strategy and my favourite numbers have changed over the years. Yet I persist in...
