  1. Tadic now one of only 4 players to create 3 assists twice in one season ! He's in good company, Henry, Fabregas & Berkovic !!
  2. 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 ??
  3. 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 !
  4. 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 !
  5. 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 !
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Yes, they all went to 'special' schools as well !
  9. Unique character who leaves a legacy of many unforgettable songs, sad day in a sad year so far !! RIP
  10. A real talent, taken far too young ! RIP Victoria
  11. 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 !
  12. 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...
  13. Was talking to my grandson yesterday about this and you have said exactly the same as I did (result for result!). Spooky
  14. 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 ?)
  15. 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 ????
  16. Just seen that Schmeichel is not playing for Denmark tonight v Scotland, apparently he has a muscle strain ! Good news, maybe..... ?
  17. 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 !
  18. 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 !
  19. Personally, I think that the sentence is harsh and aimed at setting an example more than anything ! Not saying that he deserves sympathy but individuals with lower public profiles would have certainly gotten a lot less ! The main charge of 'digital penetration' was with consent, only the age of the girl was an issue ! Wrong, wrong, wrong, I accept but a very severe punishment for the actual crime IMHO. I have just donned my flak jacket in anticipation of serious abuse !
  20. I just love this place ! I posted that Dalek was losing his touch by prematurely announcing that we were safe (clearly taking the p!ss !) and the thread has expanded into the realms of applied mathematics ! Lubbly, jubbly
  21. Not only saw him play (awesome) but actually met him (just shook his hand) and he came across a lovely fella ! RIP Johan
  22. Herewith the view of a Muslim journalist and author which I consider backs up my assertion that Muslim families can do more to repel radicalism ! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3507086/Why-no-one-admit-way-western-Muslims-raise-children-fomenting-terror.html (I am aware that this was published in the Daily Mail which will predictably be treated with scorn by the usual suspects but her credentials stand up to scrutiny) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasmin_Alibhai-Brown
  23. I'm not suggesting that it never happens but feel that as a community more needs to be done ! It might have been nice to see a march of Muslim mothers in Brussels, holding candles and demanding a stop to the atrocities. There have been over 200 Belgian returnees from Syria, do their families just say " welcome back son, how are Raqqah and Alleppo at this time of year, oh my, you've lost a bit of weight" ? I refuse to believe that many of these dark activities go unnoticed, especially in the known enclaves ! Ps. I know I'm being a bit flippant but I think it helps to make my point !
  24. Report suspicious activity, educate and encourage their children to be aware that radicalism is evil ! I'd be incredibly surprised if most residents of Moelenbeek and Schaerbeek were completely unaware of what was going on around them !
  25. What proportion of Germans were Nazis in 1939 ? The 'silent' majority did almost nothing and (circa) 6 million lives were lost ! IMHO non terrorist Muslims need to do more to solve the problems within their midst !
