  1. Rest Tadic ? Wtf does he need a rest for ? Spends 20% of game time lying down !
  2. Spot on post. We hang on. Talent gradually being eroded.
  3. "...over to Alan Greeen...." "....views from our football expert Alan Green.......etc"

    Italy

    Padua is great - and cheap. Worked there for a year. If visiting Venice, stay in Padua, the taxi / train to Venice for the day.
  6. This is spot on. With mane starting, nobody around him seems to know what he is going to do, and seem to have to adjust to suit With tadic on left and long on right we look far more balanced. Mane is an impact type of player - I,d use him from the bench, and start long every time.
  7. Di canio is on sky's goals on Sunday today ...
  8. Sao paulo is up there with jo'berg in the "dangerous to wander round" league. People are generally great. Cashasha (?) and beers are good. Very lively.

    Cuba

    Went to camaguay province about 15 years ago. Fabulous beaches, locals, music...etc. Santa lucia I think. Had a very impressive coral reef. Pretty unspoilt at the time. One of best holidays I,ve had. Friendly locals. Good beer / rum / bananas / music / cigars. Cheap. Travel was an adventure - but very safe place to wander around.
  10. I thought he lived in Compton. Doing well to find a 380k house there...
  11. Would assume that Monday's game will be conveniently called off...
  12. Oddest thing for me - and this must be down to Adkins - was our dead ball taking around their box. Twice we had decent positions down the right in the first half, and each time Puncheon took the kick - each time knocking it way too deep. Why the f*ck did we not give each kick to the bloke with the £11m left foot ? Waste.
  13. Is he drinking juice in the otter then ?

    Mark Dennis

    Saw him in the Otter reasonably recently...
  15. Spot on. You hit the nail on the head with the tube station analogy. Crowds behave like crowds, which is why you need some kind of control process. Majority of misinformation around this tragedy stems from the initial blame shift or cover up. The enquiry outputs won't change that, just a shame a proper enquiry didn't happen immediately, when it may have led to something constructive.
  16. From the police ?
  17. The solstate server was a revelation at the time. I used to access from a 3270 (ish), whilst idling at IBM. Forgot about this completely.
  18. I've done the shawford 6 49 for a few years. Main attraction is free parking. Main drawback is when things go slightly wrong, just outside peak time in evenings. Mornings generally reliable. Eastleigh gives you a bit more flexibility, Winchester more so - but pricey parking. Waterloo east would work for connectivity. I'd avoid Clapham as cross london connection + Waterloo / Southampton line will be stressful over time.
  19. Grand place is nice. Centre has god bars & history. Ok for a week or two. Pricey.
  20. Dennis was the best English left back at the time by a mile. Quick, aggressive, could tackle, and play. His reputation did for him.
  21. I went to glen eyre in the 70's, which was pretty wild most of the time. Glen eyre was big on corporal punishment, caning, slapping, trainer-ing - courtesy of the PE dept - and various other forms of kid abuse. The corporal punishment had zero impact on how we all behaved as far as I can remember. You name it, it went on there - and we got caught and caned for it. It was probably more brutalising than corrective in its impact. I certainly wouldn't hit my kids
  22. Played a charity match once that had Keith Stroud reffing - at the time I had the assumption that he would be a step up from the "normal" local / regional ref's we would normally get. Wrong. As useless as the rest. Best ref's (to me anyway) are those that have played to at least some standard.
  23. What do you need exactly ?
  24. "Raid the palace" by Pele. Oddly enough was on the Radio1 playlist. Assume nobody listened to the words...
  25. . 100 per cent right. I manage a group with German, USA, uk and far eastern based people. Despite the hiring / firing processes in Germany being a bit more convoluted, I'd (as a generalisation) take this as a decent return for their general attitude, education, loyalty and productivity.
