A good point well put.

Well, we can agree to disagree then. For one thing, the Henry fee didn't really indicate his "true" market value, because (a) Arsenal would not have sold him to another club in England. (b) He only wanted to go to Barca, which didn't put Arsenal in a strong bargaining position. It was a similar situation with Beckham to Real Madrid.

I'll do it for you, "Franny" Jeffers.

Yeah, I'll be able to get out of my Northern Rock deal in June, it's not fixed rate but I reckon I'll still be able to get better elsewhere.

Maybe the same climate, but completely different situations. One is undoubtedly a world class player, but also one who is coming to the end of his career and whose best form is behind him, as subsequent events have shown. No way would I try to defend the Bent purchase, but it was a completely different situation, young player, coming into his best years, decent goalscoring record with crappier team etc. In terms of comparisons I would say perhaps Yakubu to Everton was a fairer one in terms of where their careers were. With Henry you could make a comparison with Schevcenko.

Not sure why you're smiling, surely you won't be able to get anything like as good a deal in the current financial climate?

I think if you were trying to demonstrate profligacy, there were better comparisons to be made.

Henry hasn't exactly been a great buy either though.

Comedy genius from Willie Miller this morning on an interview with BBC Scotland on the radio. It was something like "I'm sorry, but we just can't compete with clubs in England on wages. That's just the reality of the situation and I don't apologise for it."

Bad news to lose our second best defender from last year after already losing our best IMO. Look how badly we have struggled without Anderson.

I'm looking on AFC Chat and there are no updates there either, speculation that this press conference is just to announce 25th anniversary Gothenburgh stuff.

These guys should remember what happened to David Rowson, Darren and Derek Young, even Simon Donnelly and Phil O'Donnell (RIP). The grass isn't always greener down south. Yes, you can get more cash in the short term, but long-term you may struggle and end having to play for Partick Thistle or St Johnstone or wherever the hell Donnelly and Rowson play now.

I went to Peep Peeps on a harbour run last year and it was a major disappointment. About two people in the place, neither of them hardmen. Tough pub my arse.

You can buy replacement batteries and there are various online guides on how to fit them yourself if you feel confident.

I used to have an iPod. Now I have a Creative Zen and it doesn't play AAC. Fortunately I followed my own advice and ripped to MP3, so I can still play all my files. In my opinion AAC isn't "noticably better" than MP3, or better at all, although my Creative does indeed sound noticably better than my iPod did. Doesn't look as cool though. At the end of the day the bitrate you use will be more important than filetype, but with 80gb to play with that shouldn't be a problem.

My advice is to rip to MP3, otherwise it's a pain in the arse if your nect player isn't an Apple.

Haven't seen I Am Legend, or Ali for that matter, but like Tom Cruise, Will Smith's films are generally good entertainment. He's no De Niro, but he normally gets by. Not a great actor I would say, but a great movie star.

Yes, I've bought guitars and amps from them, both instore and for delivery, they are one of the best.

Where is the standing section going to be?

Where did you manage to see Dan Smith playing football?

I'm sure Brewster knows now that the grass isn't always greener and will stay at ICT until he is sacked or perhaps a Championship club down south comes in for him.

Surely one not particularly successful season at Hibs isn't sufficient to get him the Scotland job?
