I agree. I thought Brentford was a natural fit for him, with Mbuemo going. Was surprised that deal did not happen. I am sure his agent was pushing for him to move, more money to be made that way rather than take a cut on Omari's fairly limited wage at Ipswich. And I suspect Omari has been over-trusting of his agent and let's face it agents are business men first, career advisors a distant second. I thought he was anonymous for us a lot of last season, Whether playing in a better Prem side will enable him to play better and make more impact, time will tell. I hope so. It is still early days.
I wouldn't blame the politicians too much. In the UK the North Sea oil income has always been used to prop up the country's economy from day 1 . There was great relief when it was first discovered as the government in the 70's was stony broke. Most of the oil revenues went to private companies whereas a lot of the oil/gas extraction by Norway was by state owned companies . On top of that Norwegian taxation on oil/ gas has always been higher than the UK's. So despite extracting more oil and gas, the income received by the UK was a lot less than what was received by Norway. Norway has a population about 7% of the UK's and that higher UK population's social , health, education etc needs has soaked up the income over the years, whereas Norway with it's much smaller population have had plenty of money left over for the wealth fund. Very enviable position.
Beattie was symptomatic of our day. Broke his arm. I think he was playing right back that day. We just never looked like scoring and the longer it went on 0-0, the more it felt that Man City would pinch it. Paul effing Power.
My favourite goal was when he scored in the 4-1 beat up of West Ham in April 1975. Last game of the season and good revenge for the FA Cup semi final fiasco. We all went home happy after that match and it was on match of the day later that night. The goal sums up everything about him, as does the tv commentary by Barry Davies and even begrudging praise from Jimmy Hill. The MOTD is in black and white though I remember watching it in colour.
Success sets high expectations. That pressure must stifle creativity in many, hence why you see so manty artists who can not get success beyond their initial output . Bolan had a good run for a couple of years and was the right talent and image at the right time. T-Rex suited the glam rock thing and chimed with the kids (especially female ones). I guess he became to mainstream for John Peel, he always liked to champion up and coming bands
I think most on here know that, but contributions are contributions. Why do the government not streamline the tax system by doing away with N.I all together and raise income tax to make up the shortfall. Save a lot of admin.
The result of that would be everyone would safeguard their state pension by investing in their works pension up to the threshold, anything above that would be invested in non pension products, which would force governments to means test, something they want to avoid.
Would be a heck of a restraint of trade and employment if you weren't free to join a club if you are uncontract That's if you can find a club who wants you and can accommodate you in their squad.
Not nonsense, what fans want is for their team to win. Repeating last season is not a turn on for me. I am happy if we either get promoted and compete (unlike last season) or we stay and fight it out in the Championship. At least we win our fair share in the Champs.
team is the operative word. Luton kept theirs together with the occasional addition and rode the momentum wave as we did. Wrexham seem to re-build every year. It's not always going to work.
Turned his back on the ball and the motion pushed his arms out, a natural balancing reflex. Should have faced up and not chickened out. Not going to be Mr Popular in the dressing room.
as long as you allow a temporary concussion sub. Otherwise players with genuine head injuries might feel pressured to continue playing rather than leave their team down to 10 for 10 minutes..
it was a privilege to have watched him all those years ago. Such a shame his career was cut short so much by injury. What an animal he was. Another freak injury he had was over-straining while on the toilet, pulled a stomach muscle. While at Col U .
