    lol, yes we are flying out 10.30 Monday, I’ll try and not make a mess. Where have you been staying? We are trying Costa Teguise this year we normally do Puerto del Carmen.

    Whats the weather like?

    We’re up in Matagorda, only come for a few days winter sun as the opportunity arose and it was cheap!

    Weather is beautiful at the moment, wall to wall sun and around 22-23 degrees. Met a chap yesterday who has been here for 3 weeks so far with another week to go, don’t think I could stay that long as I’m normally ready to come home after 5 days.

  2. My exercise nowadays consists of walking the dogs for a couple of miles in the morning and a game of golf most weekends. Hate gym work to be honest, did it a lot in my 20s but always found it boring, much preferred playing football, cricket and squash. My wife loves swimming, but I swim like someone drowning (probably because I nearly am) so avoid that like the plague!

  3. Good luck to the lad, and hopefully see a bit more of him over the next month or two. Hopefully next season (or even this if we can ever get Morias and Randall fit) comes around, we’ll help his development by loaning him out to a decent level team.

  4. All depends how deep the frost penetrated. Air temperature is different to ground temperature so I would expect a slow thaw throughout tomorrow. Hopefully it will be on but the ground staff are going to have to be busy and work through the night.

  5. My grandad used to always talk to me about Bobby Charlton and George Best, so growing up I also used to also be a Utd fan. Now, I take little interest in them but will watch them if they’re on the TV (don’t have posh telly).

  6. Like it, and glad it’s him. Steep learning curve for him as he now has to adapt to running a full time football club, but he clearly has talent. His aims are now different, from getting a small club to survive in a league to one that wants to play higher.

    I’ve no doubt he is going to be a success, as we don’t have any Billy big b******s in our squad that he would need to get onside like at other clubs.

    Now sign some defenders!

    I have no idea who it will be, but they normally go a bit left field. If I was to pick someone who like to play football and is ready for the move up, it would be Stuart Maynard.

    Not one to blow my own trumpet, but Fozzy knows 😉😂

  8. Crikey, talk about naming the impossible! As a kid I would probably agree with you @Robbie, Goodies was probably the TV program I never missed. 
    I would probably have to say Allo Allo (the 1980’s ones) is my all time favourite though, brilliant writing and acting and constant laugh out loud moments. Running it a close second would be Fawlty Towers. 
    I don’t think any of the shows mentioned so far would get made today, people are way too sensitive to allow anything that pokes fun at others to be shown.

  9. From what I have since read/watched, he looks like a bit of a flapper! That’s all we need with our quality defending under the high ball!

    Sending Brooks out on loan again looks like the coaching team obviously don’t think he is better than either Stone or Slocombe. All depends on the level they send him out on loan to, but I don’t hold out much hope of him ever being number 1.

  10. I think @liampiethat those who have got away with it until now, know that the people are coming for them and the sooner Fujitsu are charged and heavily fined the better.

    I have personal views about Social media (some positive, a lot of negative), but it can be great for unearthing hidden news from years back. It can also be a minefield of misinformation if you’re not careful.

    Politicians now being in a mad rush to do something positive after years of dragging their feet and allowing it to happen is laughable, no wonder they are no longer respected, they’re just a bunch of incompetent fools.

  11. Matt Gill was awful @menzinho, I think Gary Mills signed him which says it all. But most times it’s the not so great players that make the best coaches, so who knows who it will be. We’ve all guessed but I bet hardly anyone gets it right.

  12. I can’t wait for him to return as I think he is a great talent. We have really missed him because he would be great backup and challenging for a starting place every week. We have had no attacking threat off the bench since he has been injured.

    I hope the club does the right thing and offers him a chance to earn a new contract, I would hate to see him walk away in the summer.

  13. Genuinely shocked when I heard this news. Don’t remember him playing for West Germany to be honest as too young at the time to know. I do remember him playing in the US league (I think for New York Cosmos?) though and everything I have read about him describes him as one of the greatest players ever. 

    I remember watching a film about England at the 1970 World Cup finals and the fact that England’s decision to substitute Charlton when 2-0 up gave Beckenbauer the freedom of the pitch and he was instrumental in getting Germany back into the match and ultimately to win the tie.

    RIP to Der Kaiser.

  14. I think playoffs is our most realistic target to be honest, but that will depend on new signings that still need to materialise. I’m currently expecting a defeat next Saturday but would take a draw just to stop this wretched run away from home at the moment.

  15. Listened to some of Luke’s press conference today, sounds like the Swansea chairmen contacted his agent and then went to visit Luke at home. This strikes me as an illegal approach unless I listened to it wrong as I did try to skip through the boring bits.

  16. Bear in mind though @Robbie that Gordon Brown (the ultimate stealth taxer) only ever raised income tax allowances in line with inflation and it was the Tory/LibDem coalition that raised it by around 3.5K in 4 years (Lib Dem manifesto pledge that was implemented), to around 10K from about 6.5K. If the current policy had been maintained, personal allowance would be nearer 10K. 
     
    I do agree though that allowances have been frozen now for what? A couple of years? It is about time it was raised again, and I bet it will be for April as the desperate government tries to buy back votes (good luck with that). I wouldn’t bet on any basic rate drop for quite a while.

    I would also say that the triple lock has worked well for pensioners compared to the old system and they’re finally starting to claw back some money to a more respectable amount, but work still needs to be done.

    Unless I’ve missed it, Starmer (becoming Mr change his mind) also appears to be very quiet on the raising of income tax allowances as well.

  17. It is @liampie, it is a great watch on ITVX and it really does strike home how terrible the whole affair was. 

    I actually used to get Computer Weekly delivered to me free, and I remember reading a little about it at the time but never really took much notice of it, it was only when this programme started that you start to learn some of the facts and the more you read, the more shocking it becomes!
    It also now appears that the police are now starting to investigate it.

  18. Bit harsh on De Gea @liampie, he was Man Utd’s player of the season for 4 out of 5 seasons and players player in 21/22 season. He only had one bad season and that was the last one, but even now Utd fans would rather have him than Onana who has been dire.
    You’re right, the defence does need to shield the keeper better but the keeper also has to help and direct the defence, and not talking, claiming crosses and better distribution.

    Time for Brooks to show he’s good enough, he’ll be 21 this spring and it should be now or never for him.
