Maybe try him out at a pre-season friendly. I was fortunate in being able to start my nipper off at reserve games at The Dell. He seemed to like it so he went to his first senior game when he was 6. I think that we beat Ipswich 4-2 with a penalty and a sending off so it was quite an eventful match. I did warn him that not every game would be as exciting but, nearly 24 years later, he's still going.

They showed my seat number but it wasn't my seat. I sit on the end of the row but the photo showed seats either side of mine. I was most disappointed.

Hard on Brighton with them finishing 15 points above Sheffield. I realise that the playoffs maintain interest right to the end of the season but it's unfair that Brighton's points total compared with Sheffield's gives them no advantage. Maybe just have one leg with the team with the most points playing at home.

Relegated Teams - Players who would you buy from their Squads?

Not surprising playing for Villa. I think that Grealish has potential but the early praise that he was getting seemed to go to his head. He would need a manager like Fergie to kick his arse and put him in his place. -
Not so daft. I used to make a lot of trips to Hewlett-Packard when they were at Pinewood just outside Bracknell. Always used this route and never had any hold ups.

That's an idea for half-time entertainment. I reckon Ron packs a mean left hook.
-
Except in P*mpey where it's probably compulsory.
-
So, if Ron signs a couple of decent players in the summer, is that a sign that he's staying? Would the club let him sign, possibly expensive, players if he was leaving at the end of the season with the usually de-motivating effect that can be caused by knowing that the manager is off. Answers on a postcard, please.

You wish. With this lot in charge it's more likely to go on feather-bedding the farmers and giving tax cuts to the wealthy.

In the 30's the Gestapo and the SS worked very closely with German Zionists to encourage Jews to emigrate to Palestine. There was even a regular boat service which served Kosher food and, often, the Gestapo would intervene to resolve any bureaucratic problems. So it could be argued that Hitler was pro-Zionist, very keen to see the establishment of a Zionist state, then he could kick them all out of Germany.

I recommend reading this article. http://s.telegraph.co.uk/graphics/projects/Hillsborough-inconvenient-witness/index.html At the inquiry, lawyers for the police tried to say that he wasn't a "real" doctor because he'd moved from being a GP into public health studies. He's now a senior Professor and has worked at many national emergencies.
-
I think that Ron's an honourable man and would not walk out before the end of his contract. However, if he doesn't sign a new deal in the close season, we would risk a repeat of the WGS situation where the uncertainty can unsettle the whole club. I'd take Rafa if he'd come and we could afford him.

Strangely enough, this morning the OECD issued a statement pointing out that we would all be worse off if we left. But their research among their 37 member countries probably pales into insignificance when set against your uninformed opinion. Farage was asked about this report this morning and came out with the usual "Oh no it won't" stuff. He was pressed repeatedly to name one reputable organisation that supported his view and, after a load of waffle unrelated to the question, named one professor at Cardiff Uni. When it was pointed out that one man was not an organisation like the OECD, IMF, Bank of England etc, he seemed to be keen to change the subject to UKIP's election prospects.

There was a heartbreaking interview on Radio 4 with a bloke who'd taken his 2 young daughters. He had tickets for the stand but got separated from them in the crush. He eventually found them laid on the pitch and, with help from another fan started giving them CPR. An ambulance arrived but could only take one of them so he had to decide whether to go with the ambulance or stay with his other daughter. He went with the ambulance but, in the end, lost both of them.

A year earlier, Liverpool played Notts Forest at Hillsborough in a semi-final. There was an attendance of 51000 and the police set up filter lanes well before each turnstile so that queues were orderly and those without tickets were turned away. Even then there were complaints of crushing in some of the pens. Why this wasn't done in 1989 is a question for the club and the police.

If you'd bothered to read what he said, he didn't mention figures. He just said that it was an issue before we joined the EU. It was. Remember Enoch Powell?
-
I was there on the Clock end and, the thing that's always stuck in my mind (apart from the heartbreaking ending) was seeing someone arrive carrying a life-size cardboard cut-out of John Lowe, the dart player. Very surreal.
-
Indeed. The words are "innocent until proven guilty" so, at the moment,he is innocent.
-
3 points and 2 goals added to our goal difference. With Stoke getting stuffed 4-0 their goal difference is miles worse than ours so 8th place should be assured (although Chelsea are slowly sneaking up but are 7 points behind with having played a game less). With Liverpool slipping up and with their European commitments, I still haven't given up all hope of finishing higher than 8th. Next week's going to be tough, though, but I thought that about Arsenal on Boxing Day and Liverpool a few weeks ago.
-
I think he said that it was a relief to know their fate, which I can understand, but not something you should say in public.
-
Could you let us see some along with the source data? If they were that authoritative why aren't the Mail and the Express doing in-depth features on these studies (they could keep the sentences short so that their readers could understand them)?
-
So, where are the alternative figures, forecasts and predictions?
-
Based on what? You have to get information from somewhere in order to come to a decision. I've yet to see any authoritative data from any reputable person or organization that advocates us leaving.
-
Well who's advocated us remaining? The US President The Chinese President The Indian Prime Minister The Australian Prime Minister The Dutch Prime Minister The German Chancellor The Irish Prime Minister The OECD The World Bank The Bank of England The CBI NATO The Farmers Union The World Trade Organization So, do we listen to this lot or Johnson and Farage with their invented stories?

If you're comparing this season's style with the wilderness years of Branfoot, this season is a million miles better.
