If the coach is ok with it then fair enough...oh wait, we don't have a coach!

Why do they keep making so many extra every day?

Gods knows. I presume they'd rather have too many than not enough. It's all the nationals plus locals.

Some poor bugger has to scan all the bar codes on the ones that don't sell and stick them in a skip. They then go and shred them in some huge industrial shredder.

I've been told that supermarkets will be the only place you can buy a newspaper from soon.

Whether signing the diver diva is true or not, we really shouldn't be talking transfers until we get a new manager, unless it's Neymar or a shock return for Bale.
oh have you not heard the papers say we have already signed them two,we have our new manager sorted and won next seasons Premiership so it must be true ;)

I agree with you're point but every season Levy and Baldini and god knows who else always sign players that the 'coach' has little or no input on, so will that change with the new coach? I'm skeptical.

I've asked this a million times. I think it is one of life's great imponderables.
Another issue is Sunday papers. The shop spends hours putting all the parts together, and then I only read the Sports Supplement, and maybe one other bit. Somebody else might read the fashion supplement, and so on. About 1 kilogram unread material gets dumped.
Why don't they leave all the bits separate, and then people can just pick up the parts they want.
After a while, the companies will know roughly how much of each section to print.

God, I hated doing my Sunday paper round: had to take all those bloody sections apart just to fit them through the letter boxes!

The Manager has had barley a say in transfers for years now, wont make a difference.

Daniel probably thought no, but then noted the apostrophe in his name and wondered about the change in profit-loss balance.

Sounds like a load of crap... Kane has come on... Adebayor is finally pulled his finger out, and Soldado should now be settled after a season of the Premiership... No point spending massive wages on a player without a manager... Esp if its Pochettino... He may not want an older player costing a fortune in wages and whom has been outspoken in the past getting splinters.

Newspapers are thin these days compared with 30/40 years ago - even the red tops could take a good hour to read compared to a few minutes today.
And the Sunday Times before Murdoch destroyed it, could keep you occupied for weeks. They all really set out to educate their readers - it was their national duty. And it was our duty to buy them and pretend we were up to speed with events.
I don't think most had the time to read them then either - 90% was always pulped unread.
