I remember when Ross Perot ran as a vote splitter to keep Bush out because he hated him. Of course, Perot had his own agenda besides keeping Bush out and get Clinton in. NAFTA. But, Perot had a chance of winning if he was sincere.

As you can imagine, knowing when and/or if you should ever hire a lawyer to represent you could be a very, fine line. Consider contracts as an example. If not written and executed properly, you could lose not only a significant amount of money, but also potentially the business you worked so hard to build. For this reason, many companies, small to large, will leave contract negotiations and implementation to that of legal counsel. Because contracts are so sensitive and even the smallest mistake in wording could be deadly, seeking out the advice of an attorney is probably a wise choice.

Portsmouth have insisted they did everything in their power to keep Harry
Redknapp as manager at Fratton Park and that there was no question of them

alleged poor financial position at the south coast club.

After employing four different foreign managers and two directors of football
in the past decade, Tottenham have gone back to basics by putting East
Londoner Harry Redknapp in charge after sacking Juande Ramos, his coaching
staff and the much criticised Damien Comolli, who had been expected to be
made the scapegoat for the worst start to a season in the club’s history.

Spurs paid Portsmouth £5 million compensation for his services. He will be
at White Hart Lane this afternoon as they attempt to gain a first victory of
the campaign against Bolton Wanderers.

One of the attractions of sport is how an apparently lost cause can be retrieved against all expectation. Once Manchester United scored midway through the first half yesterday, going on to achieve effortless dominance before the half-time interval, they seemed certain to be heading for the usual victory at Goodison – an eighth in nine visits – and temporarily, at least, for the top three of the Premier League.

The suffering in between has been too great to say it was worth the wait, but 28 years, six months and three weeks after they last did so, Sunderland beat Newcastle United at home yesterday. The victory sparked a pitch invasion on the final whistle, which turned ugly as rival fans clashed at the thinly-segregated away end, and which will get Sunderland into trouble with the authorities, but jubilation will not be denied Wearside. “If you think I’m going to sit here and criticise Sunderland supporters, you’re wrong,” Roy Keane said afterwards.

It’s there in black and white and, on this evidence, it’s thoroughly deserved; only goal difference now separates Hull City from the Premier League summit. Today’s Chelsea v Liverpool game ensures that some daylight will be re-established but it will take more, much more, to shake Hull’s fans from the fantasy world which they now inhabit.

While the football authorities might have been hoping that Thaksin Shinawatra – originally deemed a fit and proper person to own a Premier League club – would be found not guilty of corruption at his trial in Thailand, there is considerable relief that he had managed to dispose of Manchester City before the verdict was announced last Tuesday. Flimsy as they are, the “fitand proper person” tests employed by the Football Association and Premier League could hardly give carte blanche to someone sentenced to two years’ imprisonment in his own country, which is now seeking his extradition from Britain after he skipped bail to return here. Intriguingly, it emerges that City and Thaksin were both advised that the way the wind was blowing in Thailand, it would be impossible for him to continue as the club’s owner. Hence the hasty sale to the vastly richer Abu Dhabi United Group, which suited all parties. Richard Scudamore, the chief executive of the Premier League, says in defence of his organisation: “Don’t underestimate the role the football authorities played in that.” Better late than never.

It was a night of stereotypes. The rain and wind hurtled in from the Pennines, the football was hard and unyielding and all that was needed to complete the Lowry landscape was a few people in clogs. Oh, and to keep up with tradition, Middlesbrough conceded a goal in theclosing minutes.

The rule to remember is: Anticipate and prepare. Think about what your opponent (your spouse) wants, and what he or she will do to get it. Consider their possible defenses and offenses, and then do your homework. Find information to counter what they have to say. Look on the Internet, go to the library, and find magazines and books. When you fight back you need to always back yourself up with proof. Anybody can say anything, but having facts in print is imperative.
