Shadow Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Is it worth mentioning Danny Grewcock's two month ban for biting Kevin Mealamu's finger? 10 games seems very lenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Is it worth mentioning Danny Grewcock's two month ban for biting Kevin Mealamu's finger? 10 games seems very lenient. I think he got a reduction because it was a Chelsea player he bit. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

bobbruce Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Is it worth mentioning Danny Grewcock's two month ban for biting Kevin Mealamu's finger? 10 games seems very lenient. Ten games will be much longer than two months. It's also worth pointing out its ten league games so friendlies and internationals won't count.

Methven Hornet Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Things going marvellously at Oakwell, Barnsley. 2nd bottom 2 2nd top 0. Got mixed feelings about Barnsley. After what he did for Rochdale, I'm really pleased that Dave Flitcroft is making a fight of it in his first job in charge. On the other hand, relegation might get him the sack and could lead to the dream-team partnership with Keith Hill being re-established at Rochdale. As Keith seems to have made a good start on his own anyway, on balance I'll go for Barnsley staying up and 'Flicker' getting his first bit of 'success'.

shrek Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Queued up for FA Cup final tickets yesterday, priced at £45, £65, £85 and £115 with £10 off for concessions. Some people queueing around me making some real sacrafices to be able to afford to go and genuinly concerned that as all the £45 section had sold out that if they couldn't get a £65 ticket they couldn't stretch to £85, which I'm sure if we don't sell our full allocation won't get a mention.

Spicer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 And of course well done to Gareth Bale on his Player and Young Player of the Year award. Thoroughly deserved, Just wish as a Spurs fan though that he could curb the occasional needless fall to the floor, Still best make the most of this season as I think he will be gone next. You just know we will finish fifth you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolford6 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 well done to Gareth Bale on his Player and Young Player of the Year award. Still best make the most of this season as I think he will be gone next. I think you're right. Spurs are reportedly the world's thirteenth-richest club, and therefore are not short of a few bob. Despite this, the Spurs board have always been prepared to sell their best players if the price is right. http://citywire.co.uk/wealth-manager/the-worlds-top-20-richest-football-clubs/a653393#i=13 Apparently, the club are willing to double his wages to £150,000 per week "just to keep him". In fact, that would also boost any calculated transfer fee whilst leaving him on lower money than 8 other Premiership players. http://hamrofootball.com/2013/02/11/highest-paid-footballers-in-the-premier-league/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2289308/Tottenham-ready-offer-Gareth-Bale-40m-stay-White-Hart-Lane--EXCLUSIVE.html A cynical observer might think that by raising his wage by £75,000 per week, and thus boosting his transfer value by (say) £10million, the club could sell him before the September transfer deadline for an extra £10million for a net additional outlay of £1.5million.
