There are clearly people in this thread who know a whole lot more about investing than my meagre knowledge on the subject! My simplified understanding of the situation is that I'm not going to lose money from my starting position by investing in savings. Whereas there is the potential, however...

I have to think he wouldn't even be on the bench today if Yalcouye and Stamenic were both available.

Barring Vipotnik for Idah, I think our best starting 11 was on the pitch when Widdell and Inoussa came on. I'd love to see us start that way against Preston.

Iwan Roberts' standard of punditry would suggest he's clocked they're both Eastern European strikers who are playing/played in the Championship and that was enough of a similarity for him.

Idah's situation at the moment is a little like it was for Gomis when we signed him and kept Bony half a season longer than we expected to. Vipotnik is clearly the better striker at this time and so Idah looks a worse player than he probably is because we're comparing them. I sincerely hope...

I could be wrong, but I think the answer is that we are a very average side also. We only beat teams at the bottom of the table, with draws or defeats against everyone else.

I agree that we can't rely on long range wonder goals all the time. When it comes to Idah, he'd scored and the options on the bench were an inexperienced kid and Cullen. I've got plenty of questions about Sheehan currently, but that choice isn't one of them.

We'll have a section of our support demanding Luke Williams back now!

Perhaps it's only me that finds this interesting, but our league form this year runs in blocks of three: First 3 games: Loss, Win, Draw Next 3 games: Win, Draw, Loss Next 3 games: Draw, Win, Loss Next 3 games: Draw, Loss, Win We've now drawn against Charlton, so clearly we'll have a win and a...

I believe so.

He's the only centre midfielder on the bench. When Franco has to go off injured, Fulton's the only option to bring on.

Right subs to make after scoring also.

I'm sure some of our 'fans' will suggest that every goal he scores adds £1m to his transfer fee...

Idah!

Point of order Daps, it's your honest opinion, not fact.

Fair enough if that's what he was saying, but he could certainly have worded it better if so. I have no interest in taking risks with my money and if that means I don't earn as much from it over time, I don't really care. It's not as if the international financial markets seem particularly...

That's what confused me about Rockin's post. How could putting money in a savings account be riskier than putting it in investments? As long as I stay under the £85k FCSC protected limit with any one provider, surely there is zero risk to my capital.

Not defending Idah's signing at all, but this constant upwards revising of his transfer cost is hilarious. £9m takes the award for highest amount I've seen claimed so far.

When you say 'riskier' I assume you mean you're at risk of earning less interest? That doesn't bother me. I keep my savings spread amongst multiple providers and open/close accounts periodically to get the best available rates. I'm lucky enough to have a decent amount in savings and don't want...

Apparently she was the driving force behind the idea to cut the tax-free ISA allowance in an attempt to push people towards investing in stocks and shares rather than savings accounts (which has thankfully gone quiet for now). That alone makes me dislike her as a Chancellor, I don't need to...
