FOOTIE PREDICTIONS - 19 out of 23 players have done theirs.
I don't want to become a spammer by constantly sending out reminders for people to do their predictions.
Ah well... if they forget to do them then they lose points.
Plus if they forget them for two weeks in a row I'll delete them from the league.
Will send a reminder now, but I'm not going to do this all the time.

Better to make your predictions early to keep Webbie happy and then revisit them on the last day

All the cash from the Tynecastle sale is going to wipe out the current debt so there'd be nothing for a deposit. I suppose that a brand new facility would open up the possibility for other revenue streams (hotels, conferences).
I hope for Hearts sake that this isn't the beginning of the end, the papers today are full of gloom with Hearts having to stay at Murrayfield 'til 2009 and concerns over the future of players and management. On the bright side Murrayfield is close to Gorgie and if you can get into the UEFA cup group stages that should be quite lucrative.
What do you think of Foulkes? From what I've read he comes across quite well. We talk about famous supporters of teams, do you know of any multimillionaire Hearts fans out there? Foulkes is appealing to Edinburgh businessmen to come forward with an alternative package.

The SRU also stated they would like to move and build a brand new stadium next to the castle where a famous battle occured (Stirling?). A Hibs/Hearts joint venture to buy Murrayfield should also be looked at I reckon.
Stephen Hendry is the only wealthy "Hearts fan" I know of and I've never seen him in Tynecastle in the 25 years I went there, so I wont hold my breath with him.
Foulkes seems like his heart is in the right place. It makes a change to have someone who wants to try alternative means, unlike Robinson who couldnt give a toss if the club dies.

Re: British Football thread
Pool have completed the signings of Xabi Alonso and Luis Garcia
Hopefully they won't get injured in training
, but neither is due to play against City and can't play against Graz on Tuesday.
Should be a good season!

13 mill for Woodgate by the way - get tae ****.
Derek, Owen and now the (aquitted) bruiser.
The new Real manager fancies the English boys, whereas the language in Lidipool is now all Espanol. - Have they signed a contract with Telemundo or something ?

Actually it could be good for both teams by adding a new dimension to them.
Who woulda thought that Woodgate would cost more than Owen

Re: British Football thread
Our 100 % record ends in a well deserved 4-0 hiding at Hornchurch. Seems the 4th was a 40 yd lob over our keeper ( shades of Nayim from the halfway line ?)
Bollocks.

Re: British Football thread
Well it was an unusually good day for me in the prediction league dept. Three correct scores and three results. Should move me up the table nicely.
Best part of the day was seeing that Hearts stuffed Kilmarnock 3-0 (is justboy around?
) and Hibernian got raped by Rangers

Good result for the Dons today mate. Proof that any decent team starts in the defence. I'd rather win 1-0 than lose 4-3 personally.
