    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/feb/04/steven-gerrard-england-world-cup Steve Gerrard thinks England may well have to settle for the play offs. That's something I've been saying for a while now. Is SG right?

    Tax avoidance

    Is it time to put tax avoidance in the same category as tax evasion? Personally I think so. "Accountants are often hired as auditors by the same companies they are providing tax advice to." At least it would be a start for the Goverment (if they as are serious as they claim to be about...

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21193525 Looks like the much vaunted triple dip recession is on course.Well done Boy George. "They should not have cut the deficit so quickly and before the recovery was sustained". Over to you.

    Premier League-Ticket prices

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2013/jan/17/football-ticket-prices-premier-league-europe There was a time -when I first came to Spain back in 1978 and for some years afterwards, in the 80's-when ticket prices for top games here were much more expensive than in the UK.Not any more.

  17. Sacked managers

    Bye bye Henning Berg after 57 days, and quite stupidly Forest sack Sean O'Driscoll after a 4-2 win v Leeds with a very realistic chance of a promotion. I put money on Mancini being dumped before the end of 2013.
