I see thw FA and the Premier League are reopening the enquiry into this matter.
Unfair to West Ham as it can have no bearing on anything at this late stage.
Why are they not asking the same questions of United?
Chance for Monty Burns to flex his literary skills once more methinks.

It's cos the rags only have him on loan and aren't claiming to own his registration isn't it?

Who they have him on loan from I haven't got a fucking clue.

Although, tbf, the idea of seeing west ham start next season with a 30 point deduction does make me smile

It’s pretty obvious the PL made a right mess of this in the first place. West Ham should have been docked points and thus been relegated.

It’s coming up now as there is talk of Tevez leaving Utd and further problems have been found at the West Ham end with the prospect of him leaving.

Then there is the court case with Sheff Utd. It’s pretty much been proven that, legally anyway, Sheff Utd should have stayed up and West Ham gone down with all the huge financial consequences.

So it’s not looking very good for them. Huge debts anyway. Owner bankrupt. £50 million soon to be owed to Sheff Utd. Plus now this.

There fans have really started to grate me so I don’t have any sympathy with them. They did cheat to stay in the league at the end of the day.

As are you, it may seem. Grammar isn't a proper noun, and shouldn't be capitalised. "Let he without sin", etc.

My many years of experience withchallenged children has taught me that you sometimes need to be obvious for things to sink in.

Also it taught me to have an answer for everything.

Sorry anyway back to the thread, speaking as a Blades admirer, it was shocking to see how those cockney twats hoodwinked them!

Basically whu are in with many paople at the fa and premier league, they are a fashionable Landan club with too much sway over how things are done.

I know the fans always referr to the 1966 world cup as their world cup????? They are delusional and cocksure with some weird sense of undefeatableness about them. Especially since the way they cheated relegation at the hands of the Blades.

BTW Jimmy Muir was an awesome player in his day:p

Having a decent grasp of your first language and being able to spell, punctuate and form decent sentences is not "intelligencia snobbery".

It isn't intelligensia snobbery at all.

Firstly, this language is a dynamic beast, evolving over thousands of years. The very least amount of respect you should show it, is having the ability to use it correctly when you clearly know how.

Secondly, human beings are preconditioned to delight in order, and be disturbed by chaos. For example, why do we have to alter a slightly off centre picture? Or, why is it that many people have an 'organised mess' upon their work desks? Everybody has a system of doing things, with an order to them. Perhaps it isn't distinguishable by all around them, but there is order in everything.

I went to school with many geeks, and was one of those guys at school that was comfortable in any crowd. In fact, in primary school, there was this quite lad called John. He was a bit overweight, not in to his sports, didn't really have any friends, constantly spent each break or lunch reading in the playground while we were kicking a football about. We used to take the piss out of him quite badly.

5 years ago, John invented a new type of networking switching mechanism and sold it to IBM, instantly becoming an overnight millionaire. He was 18.

Another geek friend of mine is diving in the Pacific as we speak, trying to determine the effects of climate change upon the sea creatures in the deepest parts of the ocean.

Another is a local councillor and plans to stand as a Labour MP in the next election.

These are in addition to the huge number of economists, Doctors, lawyers, accountants and business school grads.

I also know a depressing amount of crackheads, thugs, and minimum wage workers. Guess which were the geeks and which were the footballers?

You only really need to go to school to learn basic maths, to read and write to a competent level. Most of the rest of useful knowledge can be picked up through the University of Life, unless you want to specialise, then you obviously take some kind of Further Education in that subject.
I greatly admire those of you like Damocles who are experts in their particular field and clever scientists like Benny and LM.

They never scored 100 goals a season like I did, or went game after game of cricket not out (It is so hard to judge lbw when you are batting) but they have been sucesses in their chosen fields.
So, Jimmy Grummble, don't slag off intelligent people. If you know enough to pay your bills you have succeeded. Well done.I am sure your parents and social workers are proud of you.

I do not, of course, include civil engineers in the above.
