[bennyboy]

Is there an impact that new PM is Arsenal fan

Aye not second for once.

Maine Road was rammed for Bert’s testimonial. I was there and estimated 60,000 plus. City declared 45,000. Years later they fessed up and paid Bert some extra.

It was truly pissing down that night, no way 60000.

Almost Every Ticket sold, Kippax rammed and plenty on the scoreboard end. I don’t remember rain!

The short answer would be No. The long answer however, might be a horse of a different colour.

If the answer is a horse of a different colour, what is the question?

This always makes me laugh. Imagine a world where the average Joe has a stash of evidence to back up every opinion he holds. I recall standing in some very full stadiums in my time and the crowd declared is about 70% of capacity. I assume like most opinions, it’s based on different experiences over time that leads to a formed opinion. He didn’t realise that you needed him to be a Private Investigator to justify the opinion.

Opinions are the stocking trade of a forum.

I know it's probably autocorrect's fault but, even so, I am sorely tempted to get that last line put on a tee-shirt.

Prof Jessica Simor (LSE) discussed it on twitter - saying that Pannick thought it would be illegal. Can't remember the details of her points but she thought he was probably wrong. You could pick up the twitter thread.

Panick seems to think there could be a human rights infringe pity there are no human rights specialists in the government.

Crossbench peer and KC Lord Pannick has said that the Labour Party’s plans to impose VAT on private school fees is likely to breach human rights law.

Have to ask.
Have you any evidence of this?

He doesn’t need any. Charge the clubs and then demand they provide their books and find some evidence. If you don’t find any - fine for not cooperating. Seems to be the way they operate with us

There's at least 4 being investigated by HMRC for underpaying tax & NI. Rumours are there were about 10, but most settled. United & Newcastle are definitely two of those four.

So no news then?

Nothing has happened in yonks.
The last bit of news was Bobby Ewing in the shower

Tonto will definitely know.

Tonto will definitely know.

So will Jim Diamond

He's staying out of the way. He owes Silver.

I knew United was ongoing, didn’t know Newcastle may be in trouble too.

I don’t think they are in trouble per se. They are arguing with HMRC’s view that image rights derive from their employee status and should, therefore, be treated as wages.
They will lose in the end and pay what is owed plus maybe a penalty for delay.
City discussed it with HMRC and revamped their accounts, paying the extra tax due, without penalty.
But for some strange reason, we get charged by the PL but nobody else does! Hmmmm….must be the blue shirt.

TBF, the PL can't/won't do anything until the cases are resolved with HMRC. Probably won't...

I posted a request on pg 6149 for posters to stay on topic. Some on here are blatantly ignoring that, and waffling on about unrelated subjects. I won't ask again. Any more posts about private schools and God knows what else will be met with a warning.

What has this got to do with getting a loan?
