    I prefer the dead pool thing when you can select people rather than draw at random.
    Bonus points for younger ones.

    They are pretty pricey.
    I told him to beat it after his second attempt at asking if I wanted to buy a box. I now realise this was a bit harsh. If only he had laid of the blues until after he had pitched his sale. Stuttering wreck he was.

    Aye sorry, I had personally picked gazza. Fair play to the lad who picked Bowie though. Earned every bit of that 12 quid.

    Dead pools......
    My Missus us American.
    She told me this tale from a number of years back.
    Dead pools were right big business in the States at this time.
    Remember one of the young Kennedy men was killed flying (and crashing) a wee plane a few years back? Canna mind his name, anyway, apparently when he bought the plane the guy who sold it to him sussed immediately that, in spite of having his private pilot's licence, Young Kennedy was fu ck ing clueless.
    He tried to dissuade him from buying the plane, but young Kennedy was insistent.

    So the plane seller boy went out and found a nationwide, big bucks Dead Pool and lumped on.

    Made something like quarter of a million.

    Folk that buy stolen pods of bold should be hung.


    How many different ways to do washing do we need?

    Reading elsewhere that the SevCo accounts to June have been released and they still need another £10 million to see them through till the end of the season.
    A £5M loan has been agreed with Repayment due in October 2021 with the remaining figure required to be determined depending on results in Europe etc.

    I think the Sports Direct recent legal win for the Hummel sports deal have still to be announced as well.

    Sevco accounts out on a Friday night again, obviously trying to bury bad news.

    Riding high in the league. Flying in the EL group stages. Top class management team. Attracting a very high calibre of player. Massive crowds.

    They're going nowhere so can we please drop all the ****ing over spreadsheets. Leave that pish to the tims.

    A few additional "highlights" from me

    -They lost £11M last season on sales of £53M (mind blowing stuff)
    -Anyone who thinks that sevco doing well in Europe is an idiot - they had £14M of income from Europe last season
    -Their wages bill was £34M (compares with our bill of £9M)
    -They have converted £34M of cash put into sevco from debt to equity (basically shareholders have in effect written off their chances of ever getting that money back - unless they sell sevco)
    -They had a net spend of £6M on transfer fees last season
