The Japanese planes were nothing special. I know the German tanks were quality, but it took them too long to build - the Soviets could build 5 tanks to German 1.

Basically yes it would if several teams did it - English Division 2 is probably around £2k a week wages on average - Wrexham (big spenders) were probably paying up to £8k a week when there - along way off £56k per week ELL is a current Congo international which is another sign of the quality...

Ziggy Was this museum started by an amateur group who dug up aircraft remains and put little stories about the pilots in display cabinets? I went to one in 2013 and it was surrounded by a housing estate that had been built on the old airfield, that was used for filming the Battle of Britain film.

Ref Sole retailer policy We probably only get £10 for a top sold on a third party web site, opposed to £30 gross profit if sold through MFC. Ref Chunky - he's looking good. 35 years ago, I would thought he would be struggling by 2025 with his health.

BM They were a right and left out look to how a country should be run - views in some countries such as Germany became very polarised in the early 1930s. There was obviously a middle way but people ignored it as they were desperate, The key word is polarised which is what we are seeing more...

Ref Middle East I still think the dark shadow of the European Holocaust hangs over Israel. The Germans and their Eastern European Allies were quite happy to murder anyone Jewish and at a guess did wipe out the majority of the European mainland Jews. Now many Jews believe they can't truly trust...

There is developing a political shift between socially liberal and socially conservative and that shift can be the most dominant factor on how they vote. I still to think most of us are not totally one or the other its a bit like saying in the 1930 were you a communist or fascist? The Labour...

My gut feeling is he wasn't managed as well as he should have been, certainly when we bought Bengura and Borges. I thought he was OK with pace and was strong in the tackle. He became too cautious for me and needed something a bit different when going forward.

Quite alot of illegal immigration comes from little boats sailing into small private harbours in the South East. Some Brits with a leisure boat musy be tempted to take a few say Vietnamese people for say £20k a person and smuggle them undercover into a small harbour with no Border Control. The...

Ok Newy - but a MLS club paid £22,5m for ELL and are paying him £56k a week - big numbers.

Fuel capacity was a big issue - the German fighter planes had a very limited time over England was it 40 minutes? They couldn't even escort the German Bombers to London and back. The BF 109 was better armed and quick, but it could not twist and turn like a Spitfire. The Stukka was not designed...

Ref his salary I doubt very much he would have come from the Swiss League top division as a proven goalscorer to Boro for only £12k a week. More like £20k to £25k. Footballers can use salary as evidence of self worth, its not just about the cash - hence a Premier League player can get upset if...

He was never as bad as many on this Board made out. Too many opinions were based on that first game at Sheff Wed when looked like a ugly duckling. To me he settled down to an average Championship defender. MLS s probably bottom half Championship standard. Didn't he have some personal issues...

The rules of long ball football are to get the ball up field asap, because alot of goals come from the opposition trying to defend. say with a poor throw near their own area. I thought the common thinking now was to pass the ball from your own goal, after enticing the opposition to come and...

One of my uncles was born 11th September 1940. I remember my granny telling me a female neighbour in South Bank came up to her in the street in September 1940 and said to her Mrs Wurzel you gained a son last week and I lost one ( 18 year old pilot in the B of B). It hit home the struggle we...
