Whitey Grandad

Close enough to give him offside. Harsh on Villa in the end.

Ouch! Not a pretty sight Glad you're ok though.

I can't agree about Moss. I couldn't actually find fault with any of his decisions. We just have to accept that referees don't see the game through red and white glasses.

Yes, there's a bit of regression to the mean in there but having got into a great position I can't help but feel that we've let something special slip away.

Is that one of those targeted ads, and if so, why are they aiming it at you?

On another day 2-2 would have been a good result. Davis has a serious case of the yips in sight of goal. Graziano's second was a thing of beauty. Manė is so annoying. Getting caught well offside a few times, falling over whenever he could yet still a threat when he got the ball. What the hell was he doing in the last ten minutes whenever we had a set piece? He was standing out on the touchline as a spectator. Get in the middle ffs.

My thoughts exactly.

He's always alone. His only friends are on an Internet forum. Maybe not this one. (All in jest, CB, if you didn't exist we'd have to invent you.) (All this is pure speculation of course )

It's also Anzac Day on the 100th anniversary of the landings. Spare a thought.

Steve, I've just sent you a PM and now I've read the first post again so my questions are superfluous.

I might be able to come along and stand in the middle waving my arms but if you can find anybody else I would advise it. If nothing else I could run the line. Actually it would probably be more like crawl the line. No fee necessary, thanks. Do I need a white stick?

Let's just say that strikers work better in pairs.

LIke!

The difference between headline and nett figures.

Two offside goals and one fluke. What was there for them to get excited about?

Very flattering and reassuring. Perhaps we should remember this when we have a temporary dip in form.

They bought a house; they've still got the same house. What they don't have is a bankful of money. If you want a new tax to raise money then you should tax money.

It would be nice to have another option but who do you leave out?

All right, I'll bite. What's his user name on here?

The subject is well worth discussing but I was referring to the name of the tax in question and I was quoting another poster anyway. Even the government call it car tax: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax 'Help With Car Tax' and many other instances. I have never understood the reason for exempting old vehicles and in general those vehicles subject to tax are also used regularly. Fuel duty would have the merit of being proportional to road usage.

We all know it as that. It may not be the formal name but who do you know that calls it Vehicle Excise Duty, or whatever? Hardly worth mentioning, don't you think?

They got away lightly.

I tend to agree with you. The problem with charging CGT on cars is that they'd have to give allowances for losses, which would be losing a lot more than they gained. http://www.independent.co.uk/money/spend-save/classic-cars-can-be-the-route-to-escaping-tax-while-motoring-to-soaring-profits-8536935.html Fuel duty instead of car tax seems too sensible and obvious to ever be implemented

You could equally say 'anything that's not a necessity'. One advantage of VAT is that the rich have to pay it too.

If I can't have Myleene I'll have to settle for Suzanne.
