  1. I lived in Wokingham for many years (next to Bracknell) and with in-laws and the football taking me to Southampton regularly, the advice above is exactly what I would have given ! Bestways it should take about 45 mins but as I never commuted in rush hour I could be well out on that calculation ! Good luck !
  2. I think the point that some are making (including me!) is not that he is sh#t, rather that he is very expensive and potentially disruptive ! All academic as it ain't gonna happen anyway !
  3. Do I trust the board ? Yes, they seem like honest and honourable people who have proven that they have the clubs interest at heart ! Do I trust the players ? No, most of them are mercenaries and will leave for more money ! Do I trust the agents ? No, they are in it for themselves and it pays more for them to move players on than it does to stay put !
  4. Tadic plays good football, provides more goals than most in the league and is (arguably) our most skilful player yet he gets slagged off by some for inconsistency, not tracking back etc.. Personally I love watching this type of player and reckon it's up to the manager to provide a balance between creative players and workhorses ! There are many examples over the years where talent was accepted over workload (LeTiss?) and if you wish to watch quality then you normally have to accept that there is a compromise to be made !
  5. Tadic now one of only 4 players to create 3 assists twice in one season ! He's in good company, Henry, Fabregas & Berkovic !!
  6. Just checked the Saintsfc site and it does not appear to be sold out ! Rather than risk a last minute disappointment, why don't you book online ??
  7. I'm pretty certain that only your prime residence (ie. The one you live in) is exempt from CGT ! This is irrespective of 'shared' ownership of other properties and I fear that you will have to pay at least a part of any increase in equity ! Stating the obvious, you do need professional advice but best not to build your hopes up IMO !
  8. He made Garth Crooks team of the week ! The supreme accolade indeed, mind you he had Jeff Schlupp at LB when he actually played up front for Leicester !
  9. Don't be too surprised, it was all negative when we (only!) beat Newcastle 3-1 the other week ! Fan websites seem to incite critical remarks as the norm these days, positive comments result in 'happy clapper' accusations ! I find it strange and depressing but that is the way it is, I'm afraid !
  10. Was at this match and utterly devastated when Heath got the 'jammy' late winner ! Ironically I met him in Brugges at a Euro 2000 match and he was a lovely bloke, still have never forgiven him mind
  11. All that matters, Man U struggled there last week and only scored one ! No easy games and all that, any away win in the PL is perfectly acceptable ! COYS
  12. Yes, they all went to 'special' schools as well !
  13. Unique character who leaves a legacy of many unforgettable songs, sad day in a sad year so far !! RIP
  14. A real talent, taken far too young ! RIP Victoria
  15. My money is still on Ronaldo being the first and it would send out a real message that you can be the world's best footballer and that being gay is not an issue ! If that were to happen, the floodgates would open and hopefully within a short time it would cease being a talking point !
  16. Surely that's not possible, we sold all our best players over the last 2 summers and replaced them with dross, so logically it can't be any worse unless of course, you only look on the dark side and you wouldn't do that, would you Alps ?? Anyway welcome back, it's been a bit too positive over the last few weeks, what with the great comeback v Liverpool etc. etc...
  17. Was talking to my grandson yesterday about this and you have said exactly the same as I did (result for result!). Spooky
  18. I wonder why he would do that, particularly as we were always in the top league in his time If only we had real heroes like N****o Kanu and Sol Campbell ? (btw did they ever get the monies the sued them for ?)
  19. So, we lost 1-0 away to the runaway league leaders and had a couple of controversial decisions go against us ! We remain 7th in the top division ! Having just read this thread, I somehow thought that the end of the world was nigh, am I missing something ????
  20. Just seen that Schmeichel is not playing for Denmark tonight v Scotland, apparently he has a muscle strain ! Good news, maybe..... ?
  21. TBF, when you read that, Johnson's sentence is disproportionate. I'm not defending his behaviour but I do think he's being treated much more harshly because of who he is, rather than what he has done !
  22. Obviously a very small minority but having travelled extensively in Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia over the years I was always surprised (in conversation) by the unequivocal support for anything to do with Islam, no matter how extreme the circumstances and condemnation for atrocities was almost unheard of ! Yes, radicalisation is the problem but in my opinion the only solution lies in the hands of the Muslim people, not with westerners !
