It is sad that it should even have to be mentioned, let alone be a news story. If it is true I hope it will quickly lead to others following their lead in a show of solidarity and support. I still remember the disgraceful way Justin Fashanu was treated. Part of me does wonder how some of...

But what about the places in Italy which are largely run by organised crime? You can find worse wherever you want. Nowhere is without it's crime, but it the UK, France, Italy or Germany

I agree. The index takes into account many factors but how it weights them won't be the same for everyone. There is every chance I would enjoy living in a foreign country more than here - I hate the cold, I hate the wet. I love sunshine. Spending time with my family is far more important to me...

Good for you. But the question isn't "is the UK or Italy a better place for Sick Boy to live?" It's "is the overall standard of life in general better in the UK or Italy". The evidence collected suggests that overall looking at many factors it is the UK. And yes I am tired of having "experts...

Explain. It will be written in the players contracts they will receive £x paid on nth of the month from the club for their services. The club have not paid this. Not just once but for five months apparently. This is a breach of the contract and thus renders it voidable at the behest of the...

As I'd base mine on my own experiences. I've got a reasonably good life. My family, friends. colleagues and neighbours all seem content and happy without any major worries. Therefore I don't see why people are complaining about the UK - it's a great place to live. Much better than the likes of...

That's of no consequence though. He has no legal authority to refuse - there has been a breach of contract and thus the contract is voidable. He can take it to court if he likes but he knows there is almost no chance he'll win. In which case he's just cost the club more money in legal fees and...

As you say, it's your opinion. The actual quality of life index disputes that. As much of this thread is about providing actual evidence of claims not 'feelings' or anecdotal evidence the index has to take precedence over your opinion.

What was filthy about it? Was he taking Boo-Boo up the Doo-Doo?

I don't think you have to justify where you choose to live. What I do think you have to justify is you seemingly stating that Italy is a better place to live than the UK in general. Your own experiences undoubtedly do make it a better place for you. The overall statistics and evidence suggest...

No need to be rude!

Westbrooke and McCallum are still very much bit part players in first team terms, as is Williams. However you did miss out Mason who was brought in as U23/understudy to Brown. It just feels like there are some who've been brought in just to fill out the numbers rather than with the expectation...

Do you mean in this game or the Telford one? The Telford thread does suggest a name - plays for the Met Police or something.

Of course it's the same across the world. I was using Naples as a counterpoint to you using your own experiences which you seemed to be extrapolating onto the rest of Italy. As with my example of the middle class family, you wouldn't accept that as a true reflection of the entire UK. If I just...

I know someone who is going out with someone from Naples. They said it's horrible - the standard of the housing is awful and a death trap that would be condemned here. Exposed wiring. If they turn the hot water on the lights don't work.The public transport is totally unreliable and takes forever...

The academy is not the same as the U23's. And over the last 10 years our U23's has been made up almost solely from those we've brought through the academy. That is arguably one of the reasons it's been so successful - it has allowed young players the chance to progress to a slightly higher...

The likes of Bayliss, Shipley, Wilson, Thomas, Maddison, Stevenson etc all came through at a time when our U23 were pretty much made up from our academy graduates. That's how it should be used IMO - a stepping stone between academy and first team. If we've got that much faith in Burroughs and...

It doesn't no. But take yesterday - we had the young midfielder in that scored. We only signed a young midfielder less than a month ago from a trial last season. Last season we brought in Bosma, and a few months before that Westbrooke after a trial. Not to mention the likes of Eccles, Maycock...

I'm supportive of such a policy as well. It's just that we seem to be offering these youngsters two years deals (occasionally three), so really after a year they should be looking at breaking into the first team otherwise chances are they're just going to get released. We bring a player in in a...

Are you accusing Hiwula of incest?!
