[LU] Keeper

What are our keeping options? Kenny was poor against Wednesday, and going feet first instead of horizontally wide against Nugent on Saturday was the wrong choice, as others have said here spreading himself wide might have saved the goal. He doesn't command his area at corners and free kicks,

Do you really think Zoopla are withdrawing sponsorship because of a single player's ambiguous gesture? Sounds like a convenient excuse to save cash to me. On 21 January 2014 12:36, Steve Gillen steve.gil...@ntlworld.com wrote: Very true... to this day I will have no truck with any Sharp

Hey Rich, yes I am - unfortunately in the home end, but beggars can't be choosers. Just thinking ahead to at least organising a pub to meet in. Unfortunately, there aren't many near the ground - the one around the corner is home fans only. However, the one opposite Pokesdown railway station

Actually it's not a right wing politician but a comedian (albeit a political one) and they are trying to ban him from performing. Anelka says its anti-establishment NOT anti-Semitic. Really we all ought to be a bit less touchy on these things, BUT the bottom line is that Anelka used it to push

It's not as if they're even withdrawing sponsorship, they're just not renewing at the end of the season. Why didn't they make comment before and not just on the eve of a live televised game? The fact that their name is still on the kit and Anelka is sauntering about in a branded trackie top,

Yep, 'tis PR. If they were bothered they would withdraw sponsorship and demand compensation. On 21 January 2014 13:23, Ian Murray ianjamesmur...@hotmail.com wrote: My thoughts exactly Joe. Clearly clever marketing on their part. Now they're on the front and back pages and are portrayed as

It's a difficult one. I was castigated for wearing an England cricket shirt with Vodaphone on it. My reasoning was: they didn't sponsor scum anymore and I like English cricket. It was a genuine dilemma though at the time. Sent from my iPhone On 21 Jan 2014, at 22:10, Matt Anderson

I'm convinced that it is anti-semitic. Now - but probably not at the start. An example of the vacuum-effect you inevitably have when people are not allowed to have a rational debate about open sores on the body politic: Statesman - I really feel unconfortable about the Israeli State's policies
