    We had a similar problem ourselves in the 80's.

    What a tragic story. Absolutely right it's heartbreaking. This sort of crime is the ultimate sin in my opinion, much worse than murder or any other crime of passion. I'd be very happy to see that disgusting **** get what he deserves.

    There has been suggestions that the high suicide rate amongst footballers may be related to this....though of course there are likely to be other factors explaining that....football being a great job, but not really preparing you for life.

    Fair point. If I was paid millions for, say, 10 years +, I'd struggle to re-adjust. However, I am willing to act as a case study if anyone is interested,

    Always annoys me when people win a huge sum and blow it....for most of us sensible folk a 50-100K would be life changing....how are you daft enough to lose millions. Tbh...I'd love to win anything.

    Amusing article about the travails of being a Player Liaison Officer...apparently almost a 24/7 job. They can be expected to do things that I woud have thought outside their job description....one had 4 weddings to arrange in a single season. One player on holiday phoned up because he wanted to change hotels, others can't change lightbulbs or switch on the kettle....fortunately one PLO said they usually only have to be shown once. :)

    You won the lottery of life, Fran. You're a Saints fan. OK, you live on the IOW, but someone has to.

    Is Schneiderlin injured? No sign of him in the Man Utd match. Has he dropped out completely?

    Newcastle's Jack Colback has been fined £25K for gambling offences.

    Rumours that he asked to go double or quits have been denied. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    There's a reason that I keep predicting last-gasp winners/equalizers from improbable goalscorers via long-range overhead kick...every so often, it actually happens:
