Unfortunately midfielders of Alexis Mac Allister's and Caciedo's quality do not grow on trees. We were incredibly lucky to have them at all, let alone passing through the club at the same time. I fully expect to see a proper attempt made to replace them as closely as possible this summer. FWIW...

If there's a minimum age to be President, surely there should be a maximum age too? You can't be hovering around (or indeed) over 80 years old and effectively run a nation the size of the USA. It's bonkers.

My only comment is that Belfast gets a bad rep (obviously), but it is a lovely place to visit. Titanic museum especially is fascinating.

If they didn't go with a headline of 'End of a Vera' then I don't know what the world is coming to.

It'll be more entertaining than Fanzone, that's for sure.

I go 3 times a week. Personally I've never felt unsafe there, but I was referencing another poster on this thread who said they DID feel unsafe.

I wasn't referring to him. I was referencing another poster on this thread who said they didn't feel safe as a Jew walking in London.

The fact that someone of any religion (or none) doesn't feel safe walking the streets of London is very worrying and very sad in equal measure, IMO.

I don't shop anywhere that is cash only. No excuse not to take card these days.

I'm with you here, pretty much. My first live women's match was last season's FA Cup final between Man United and Chelsea and I came away very disappointed in terms of both atmosphere and standard of play. Atmosphere-wise, I know they're clearly appealing to a different base to the men's game...

Zidane is apparently now Bayern's number one target. A much better idea than going for RDZ.

And that's a very noble take, which I'm sure pretty much everyone would agree with. The issue though, which you've helpfully alluded to with your own personal example, is that separating genuine from the lazy isn't something that is easily done. Especially when the suggestions are to take the...

That's my exact point. These 'crackdowns' will still allow people through the gaps who have become adept at playing the system, whilst genuine claimants without so much knowledge of the system might struggle to get the help and support they're entitled to.

If he's able to game the system currently, what makes you so sure that he won't be able to continue doing so under any proposed changes?

Fair challenge. Although there can't be many players knocking around with a test average that high (even from a small number of matches) and still playing today, let alone in English county cricket. The only person I can think of is English, but I may be on the wrong lines!

Would this be someone who has only had a single test innings for England in his career?

As our resident flair guru, where does Maradona fit on the scale? He has ALL the attributes to be off the charts BUT he selfishly backed it up by actually delivering some important silverware too.

Stats will also tell you that George Best won a Ballon D'Or and Phil Neville didn't. In terms of them spoiling our sport, we're probably the wrong club to support for you currently then :) As without them, TB probably wouldn't have made his fortune, bought the Albion or indeed had the insights...

Agree with much of what has been posted. The only nuance is perhaps the potential difficulty with moving players on. Are we going to find clubs that would offer an acceptable fee (and contract) for Lamptey and Webster, for instance? For me, the stand out priorities are RB, CB and CM. Providing...

Despite the fact that Pele has historically been judged on the mythical goal tally that he amassed during his career, which is, um, a stat. I don't think Pele is a modern footballer by any stretch of the imagination. Out of interest, how do you judge a player's ability or rate his career then...
