    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    I'll agree with you on one thing....that most don't want the move. But that has little to do with football and more to do with the general insular attitude of the English, being unwilling to learn other languages (and I include myself in this). Also it's because they can earn so much in this country.

    A side that is 5th (I think) in La Liga has twice outclassed the English Champions in the space of a week.

    Overall I think it's the most entertaining. Spanish is the best technically but bores the f.ck out of me watching.

    It goes round in cycles - Italian football late 90's, Spanish football early 00's, England from about 2005 to this year and now it's Spain again. One fantastic side in a league makes the rest buck up their ideas (IE Barca has led to teams like Bilbao)

    The £ to Euro rates don't help in terms of bringing players over, either.

    I like athletic. Home grown player policy. Sound financial footing. Never suffered a la liga relegation.

    Total football as well. Strikers p laying right back. Left back on the right wing. A team based on being able o play rather ran how fast they can run

    How good woudl that be?

    Let us not forget that the PL has not helped the English national side achieve any more than it has in the past forty years. The best World Cup's remain pre 1992. Before football records began so I can't even say what happened.

    Not this season but for the past 10/15 years it has been. More teams in the last 16 of the Champions League than any other country over the past 10 years, didnt the commentators say the other night.

    That is actually incorrect, and this whole tax thing is always taken out of context.

    Someone who is earning 200K will NOT pay 100K in Tax.

    1st of all, everyone has a tax allowance (7.5k ?) - No one pays any tax at all up to this amount.
    the standard 20% tax is then applied after that, upto the 43k? bracket (ie 20% of the earnings of 43k minues 7.5k)
    it is then 40% of earning between that bracket (43) up to the next one (ie 150k)
    anything above 150k is taxed at 50%.

    Add them all together etc.

    Someone in the 50p tax bracket does not pay totally half of everything they earn. Although the percentage does get closer the more they earn over a year

    than of course you could have a trendy accountant who arranges offshore trusts, image rights, share issues instead of actual wages, and then you end up paying pence.

    40% 35k-150k
    50% above 150k
