Aye, but after 1st of September, if he has the choice of playing football for 5k a week or 1.5k a week, then why not take the 5k a week? He has nothing to lose by waiting until the end of the month before signing for anyone.

Whether we think he's a winger or a full-back, can someone change the title to the correct spelling of his name?

Which is why it was a stupid thing for him to say.

15:30 GMT for the pedants, no?

We didn't need him to post that to show he's an idiot. Just one more piece of evidence to show he knows nothing about football. Presumably if Van Persie doesn't start for Man U, it's because he isn't good enough for the EPL.

And then you can take all his marbles.

I thought Higgy was Caucasian.

If they had charged more for their tickets they might have avoided administration.

Or pay-per-play until he proves his fitness. We can't afford to tie up a wage on a crock - even for Faddy.

Need to bring him in from League Two, of course, so he isn't out of his depth.

Aye, you are the only person on this board who regularly watches lower league English football.

If guys like McArthur (not McCarthy) can go from Accies to EPL first team, I think Jennings might just cope in League One.

The military use 'twenty-four hundred hours' and not "zero oh-hundred' or 'oh oh-hundred' It's not about confusion, it's about clarity.

Last time we beat them was August 2010.

I have been watching Motherwell since long before the Boyle days. Even when were dossing around in the First Division we still replaced outgoing players with new ones. It's basic football club management that even the most depressed, pessimistic, naysayer can understand.

But we have always brought in replacements, so why worry?

I think history has shown nobody is irreplaceable. From Pettigrew to McFadden, players have moved on and we still have managed to win a trophy and get some decent league placings.

add your own t-shirt

The reason the local media loves NFL players is because there are so few teams and such a big market. So no rivalries to speak off and most cities are a one (or zero) trick pony. When there is a rivalry, the teams are kept apart so they are never in direct competition. It's smart marketing by the league, but the structure of the whole franchise business and the market for the game is so different as to be a pointless comparison with the SPL. I still doubt, however, that any Broncos fans have any love for Cutler.

As a club with a requirement to 'sell a player a season' we have done pretty well in holding onto our assets. However, I think it was inevitable, even before new TV deal was signed, that we would need to offload one or two this time around. I was expecting Randolph and Hutch to be prime targets and I think we have sufficient cover to avoid it being a catastrophic loss. It would be more difficult to deal with the loss of Jennings and Law.

I think that is a huge generalization of a population (and something that certainly doesn't happen in the North East, at least). If you are a Yankees player and brave enough to be walking down Lexington Avenue, you better be prepared for some stick! Of course there are exceptions in certain parts of the country - particularly where there towns with only one professional team, but the majority of newspapers and sports talk shows are dedicated to slagging off A-Rod, K-Rod, Tebow, Bay etc. American Football and baseball crowds have been dropping in recent years too as value for money becomes a priority. When I moved over here in 1997, there was a 10 year waiting list for season tickets for the New York Jets, for example, and no new applications were being taken. In the last 3 years, not only have they burned through that waiting list, they now can't sell the remainder. They actually have commercials on TV now trying to offload them.

Works fine for non-UK folks now

I tried to buy one, but when it came to paying, I received an error message saying that 'product' was not available outside of the UK!

The same is true for most teams though, so it's still a reasonable statstical measure.
