    Come on sinkov, have you seen any icebergs and rocks in the Leeds/Liverpool canal? The odd shopping trolley maybe but icebergs!!

    I hope you are totally wrong on this one sinkov. I've mentioned this before, I know a couple of our Directors personally from past business relationships and they are not muppets by any means.

    I can only assume that Garlick is now calling all of the shots and our new CEO is just a puppet on a string? No other scenario explains the Hendrick contract collapse - does it?

    I've actually been in the Leeds/Liverpool Sub, we had to practice getting drunks out who might have fallen in, and believe me it felt like there probably were icebergs floating around somewhere in there.

    sinkov-- I can well imagine that doing those exercises were amongst the highlights of your long career!

    I'm too lazy to look, but can the Seagulls still be relegated?

    Don't know about highlights Sub, but I certainly remember it better than Alex Elder's own goals, that's for sure.

    Technically they could, on goal difference, but it would take a few freak scorelines for it to happen, just one of them being Villa beating Arsenal by 6 or 7. In reality they're safe.

    I know that feeling very well having done many pointless exercises in the RAF! Whenever I am on the ship and the crew are doing their exercises I always stop and have a laugh with them and they feel just the same way, however, you never know.......................
