Don't think it would work that well - European Football is more boring on the whole, though technically better Atmosphere would be diluted as - far less away fans for weekly fixtures & novelty would wear thin, gates are already poor in many countries until KO stages and, crucially, in most leagues the paying fans would rather their domestic leagues d rivals Premiership doing too good as RD said

High waste, 6 button Oxford bags with side pockets that I saved up for and got at the tail end of 1976 - made completley redundant when Punk broke and we all (all of us under 15 anyway) went to drain pipes. Also from mid-70s feather cut/centre parting blow dried to my best mate cutting my hair & sticking butter in to spike it.... No hair gel then

Going to add: MSM ( as in Main Stream Media) ANYTHING with the words "Check your privilege" in it I have to also say increasing use of "Entitlement" means it's borderline for me too nowadays

a shop where you can buy stripey sweatshirts - gloves - big swag bags - comedy eye masks....would be rammed

Heard mixed from forums and a couple of mates - not all finished but people say: - they reckon will be good atmosphere for big games - bits still need fixing - upper tier a long way off - many views not bad - policing will be difficult for big games as so many ways to get there plus open space etc!

Our first game at Taxpayers Park tonight - I'm not going, really can't get into football on the 4th of August, but was underwhelmed by our performance last week and this has got 'Banana Skin' written all over it....

Occasionally I remember the old 'Mexican' and then realise just how far Lordship Lane has come :)

Thank god for that. I never thought about going outside and wandering around my local area before this fantastic game was created. It's transformational!

There is already an equivalent thread in existence but the fact that it's not in the first ten pages of the Forum tells us something about human nature...or maybe the nature of forums?

So. Lordship & fellow economists FTSE 250 now above pre-Brexit levels Ftse 100 well above Brexit Levels Stated commitments from big companies to invest in UK post brexit - GSK, BAE, Wells Fargo as examples (been a few) Hendersons saying property funds set for a boost post-Brexit Jobless at lowest level since 90s GDP 2nd quarter above expectations (although lower in June) Halifax House prices up India, US, Australia, Canada, China have all on their own initiative approached the UK about new trade deals All UK banks passed recent stress test (i believe) unlike most Italian and Deutchbank The biggest downers in data are consumer confidence & PMI but BOTH are survey data based on sentiment, which given the apocalyptic warnings pre-referendum were not likely to be up - but still of concern I'd agree. Uncertainty/sentiment still the issue not reality, Meanwhile in Europe Austria/France GDP grinds to a halt; Greece situation of the front pages but failing miserably; several banks teetering It's hardly Armageddon yet is it? I think growth will be dampened for a while but it's not worse case scenario by any stretch on current data is it? What are your views?

Anyway, as you well know DTR that asset gain is meaningless in terms of a salary as your home is not very liquid. To get that dosh you either have to remortgage to release the capital, which then means you are increasing your monthly expenditure and overall debt; sell and rent - then you are back in far more expensive and insecure territory in terms of what you get; sell and move far away from London...and who wants to live in Devon all year (or even Canada at all); sell and downsize.... you want to go back to a flat? Or, if you're braver, use the leverage to invest in something else - not without risk. Enjoy your BBQ and don't give up the day job (or semi-trolling)

You ever been to Vegas DTR? Just wondering.....

the FACT that I can't go through revolving doors without thinking about *that* scene from The Godfather

There were also plenty of relationships that broke up and exes-had to live under one roof, really happened a lot; horrible times for us spoilt oldies eh?

..but as all good marxists know, manners is just a bourgeois instrument of oppression

Strikes me Lou that you, your old man and your wider family are all a bit lacking on the manners front

looked at his (Smiths's)policies - well, Corbyn has certainly dragged Labour back to the left if his opponents are putting forward this kind of crap as policy - bunch of failed economics, wealth creation hating guff and taking union power back to the 70s...I don't care who wins (though it will be Jezza)as long as none of them get near power. Nothing progressive in failed the world over, old school socialism in my view. PLUS the 'rebels' have made Corby, McD and Sean look competent in comparison, which is some achievement! Useless protest party of outdated ideology. I hope we get some decent alternative to the Tories but Fallon is hardly seizing the moment.

I think the 'without the disrtraction of Europe' is vastly overrated if you look the the top 4 of the last 10 years and discount an outlier like Leicester. You can apply this to most of the top leagues in Europe.

Can't see Liverpool making it to top 4 in all honesty
