It's been 61000 since planning permission was applied for over three years ago.

heard the stat yesterday - think we're won 58 and drawn 4 of the last 62 league games in which we've scored first.

The most intriguing aspect of this is the stadium project. If DIC are cash rich and after purchasing shares decide to fund the stadium in "cash", we and them would save £125m in interest charges (nased on borrowing £180m @ 6% over 20 years). There's added brand value for a start.

Would it upset your sensibilities?

There'll be virtual tours when they've finalised internal designs and want to start selling the boxes. Start saving.

Yes because when we were promoted back to the top division we had a meagre 5 League titles. The same as Everton. And Manchester United. And four more than Chelsea. And this was before the Kings Road Set singularly failed to win a single title apart from foppiest set of footballers to fop their way down the Kings Road. In fact after our long spell in Division 2, only Arsenal with 7 titles and Sunderland with 6 topped our total. And wouldn't you know it within 4 years we'd be joint leaders in terms of most titles. And the pools myth - "if you know your history" you'll be aware that Everton were the team that was invested heavily into by the Moores family hence their nickname the Mersey Millionaires. I tend to find listening to Rob Beasley and his repetitively tedious inaccuracies regarding this has addled the brains of most Chelsea fans about this matter. For instance it took Liverpool 8 years to break the million pound mark for a player after Forest broke the mark with the purchase of Francis, and in those 8 years many other clubs broke the magic million. In fact we had to sell a player (Rush) to even be able to afford our first million pound purchase (Beardlsey) and still have spare change to buy two other players (Barnes, Houghton). Similarly when we broke the transfer record for Dalglish in 77 he cost less than we received for Keegan. Selling to buy. Hardly the sign of a club propped up by Pools millions. Mind you that may be because we weren't. Anyway as to any proposed investment, it's hard to give an opinion when you don't know the extent of it, the nature of it, or even who's behind it.

death by a thousand puns this. I'm thinking of inserting bamboo shoots under my finger nails.

Unbeknowst to most, I actually claim to own it away from this forum

Always wanted to be a w#?ker and to own YNWA!

How can any serious journalist put those two lines in succession when they directly contradict each other?

the fact that Fifield wrote the Guardian piece suggests it's accurate.

I'm another who prefers beurre and croissant to bread and butter.

The ScoUSAs

There was talk yesterday in the media that he was going to be held in Wandsworth Prison for two months for assessment but he's been moved straight to Hindley Prison in Wigan, which is obviously much better for his family and Michael.

lad on RAWK who's been reliable on stuff like this posted that there were visitors at Melwood yesterday. Two limousines turned up around 10.30am and were met by Parry and Moores. Didn't know who they were.

or quite possibly the Post is being drip fed stories by people with a vested interest in Stanley Park not going ahead.

If it's any help I've been told the main contractor and sub-contractors have now been appointed and building starts in March.

not really - he's been playing well for a number of games now.

Look why the bloody hell does this come up time after time after time? Evidence for Liverpool being first to sing it and adopt it as an anthem: TV footage in the early 60s Radio coverage in the early 60s Contemporary newspaper coverage from the early 60s Contemporary magazine/book coverage from the early 60s Evidence for Celtic being first to sing it and adopt it as an anthem: None, nada, nothing, zero, zip, zilch Turn the question back onto them - what proof do they have? There's not a single Celtic historian claims their fans sung it first.

at least a week old this.

I thought Gerrard, Carragher and Alonso would hit the ground running this season - alas no.

They were replaced the summer of 2005 - PricewaterhouseCoopers now advise us.

Why does everyone count the cost of the new stadium in the price of any takeover bid? Is it just me who thinks this is acoc***ing of the worst kind?

best left back at the club, best in the league last season.

I'd put in a bid for Steven Pressley at Hearts.
