Acer...spot on with the remark RE paperwork/beaurocracy It can be a nightmare and one reason why I pay all the HARD working locals cash in hand. Which is another reason why Spain is failing. Yes I am to blame also

I still have to pinch myself what I can get regards quality work at a fraction of the price of what I get in UK.

Well i am just going to upset a few people now with the cold truth. Spanish people are generally hard workers and hard "players"

I have worked all over the world apart from Australasia and can honestly say it is us British that are one of the laziest nations in the world but we seem to think we are one of the hardest working nations . I can remember working in Africa and a colleague remarking how lazy the locals were and needed "us Brits" to keep them going. This colleague spent most days surfing the internet.

My father and his brother had the same mindset until I told them when visiting my Spanish villa to watch the workers on the site over the road carefully. They apologised upon returning to UK and agreed with me.

We should stop believing the politicians bulling the UK workforce up and try actually working as hard as we believe we do. The Uk is going to the dogs.

Dakey I totally agree with you and I would rather spend my money at the bar and watch football on the telly. More enjoyable more comfortable and certainly more cheaper.

Michaeltwr  very sorry but the minus 10K mentioned crowd was not that recent but it is plural. Newcastle supporters have been known to be as fickle as the rest.  Also the council DO own the ground. Newcastle United payed for the new infrastructure (with lots of help) but the land it sits on and therefore the ground is owned by the council. Not really worth getting excited about and I hope one day you can finish just behind Leeds for the second champions league spot.

Dakey you are totally spot on and I think the crowds everywere in premier will start to slide however when you had the 20 odd K crowds the ground was not full. I was there for two of them. Although you are correct about the redevelopment.

Hasta luego

Not quite as old as you Dakey but as normal the average football fan  (Leeds included) never let you down claiming to be the best supporters in the land. Newcastle Utd spring to mind (They have had less than 10,000 in games not to long ago yet every geordie I speak to have not missed a game in their life. Sunderland fans also, Middlesbrough and like I said Leeds. If you are 53 and claim Manchester United have always sold out on league games in your lifetime  you need to see a doctor as I think you have an early case of alzhiemers disease.

Just google it Dakey ,the facts are on the internet

Well it is good to see Man City matching Man Utd and maybe just maybe, finishing above them this year in the league, But I doubt it.

As for the swipe at Man City not being able to fill the 44,000 stadium it may be true but then again I am old enough to remember Man Utd struggling to get more than 25,000 at old Trafford every week. And less than 20,000 more than twice. With probably the only exception of Liverpool every team in Britain has struggled for good attendances when they have had years without success. Liverpools turn may be very soon fingers crossed.

Also for the record Newcastle do not own their ground it is council owned. And I am sure you will find the other clubs mentioned will have had some sort of funding for their stadiums albeit local ratepayers/ taxpayers/ grants etc

The fact is, and it is a hard one for Man Utd fans to swallow, the best ground in the country has got to be the Emirates and to be honest Old Trafford does not come in the first three. Yes I have visited them all and from a nuetral point of view would rather go to Arsenal, Sunderland or Man City before even thinking about Old Trafford. Having said that I would only put Arsenal ahead of Man Utd in the entertainment stakes (on the pitch that is)

For the record Mr Rooney would be far better off in Spain as the papers do not seem to be bothered about private lives. What he has done may be wrong but at the end of the day it should stay private.

No I am not an Arsenal fan but I do enjoy their style. Looking forward to the day mighty Leeds are back to whup the lot of you. It won't be long

Regards

Kyote
