    Ditto that along with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and then we'll see a real competition.

    Need to both cap transfer fee and player wages throughout the league to see that really. Football has become a nonsense in recent years, the whole point was that football teams where local to the area, and fan base, owners, players where from area, the current money situation has ruined the game entirely. :mad:

    I do find it depressing that when I return to my home town (Nottingham) I see far more kids with Liverpool etc shirts than Forest shirts. This in a city with an admittedly once great team that won 2 European cups.

    Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to get served when a shop/pub/etc are not busy.

    i quite like it in shops - at least you can get on with looking at the stuff you want to look at. i hate it in australia where they start talking to you as soon as you get into the shop, all it does is make me want to leave.

    winds me right up in the pub though. if there's one place they need one of those ticketed queuing systems.

    the football bubble is just like the housing bubble. eventually no-one will be able to afford to run a football club and the whole lot will go bang and disappear up its own @rse.

    No one.

    There are certain companies I'd like to see commit to less irritating customer services access (phone menus!).

    There are companies that should be reigned in for fear of near monopoly control in the future.

    There are companies I see no worth in and wouldn't miss and will have to go under to bring the economy in line with demand. However, I do not directly wish they fail as that will mean distress.

    I'd like to see the media learn that what they are selling (in many cases) is complete rubbish and start to report news, real news. Clearly their first report will be 'Hell freezes over'

    British Gas for being completely and utterly incompetent and charging 3 times as much as they should for the priviledge.

    British A55 get my vote too.

    They are currently in the middle of completely screwing up my request to move to them from Scottish Hydro Electric. I am now in limbo and have one of my MPANs with then and one with SHE. I will be going back to the Hydro and staying there as soon as this mess gets sorted out. Have been quoted 6-8 weeks for that to happen! They arsed it up in a week and now it takes them 6-8 weeks to de-ar5e it!

    No doubt they will try and charge me at least 3 times the amount that I should be when they finally manage to stop providing me with energy!

    Please do yourself a favour and steer clear.

    I agree - I think it's pretty depressing seeing people wearing football shirts too, unless they are actually playing.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Oh come on NDG. Have you never stood on the terraces in the pouring rain, with your shirt off, singing lusty songs and lobbing urine filled bottles at the away supporters?
