Cooper on the bench today although he was the only outfield player unused. Exactly what is the position with him, I take it he wasn't cup tied even though he played for Wigan in the first and second round of the competition. Can he go out on loan? I'm more confused than ever. |

Well that was pathetic, we had enough EASY chances to win very easily. The only positive for me was Widell who is getting better with every game. My thoughts on the new player Ward, he may be statistically fit but he is a very long way off being match fit. His distribution was shocking as was his positioning. But he is not the reason we went out, that's purely down to shocking finishing. |

My second biggest gripe after strolling back to get onside and not looking along the line, both are guilty of this also. |

Over to Presdees bakery first and get a small loaf and ask them to cut it in half. Share it with my mate and we ate the inside then on to Johnny's to have it filled with chips. The best chip butty ever, I can't remember how much it cost but it was as cheap as chips as they say and pre decimalation. |

For me it was Johnny's and later Covelli's. |

I remember the bus convoy coming out of Sheffield after the game was surreal. I can't believe it was 20 years ago, great times for the club. |

It's true but youngsters need to learn to live within their means and not expect everything as a given right. Work and save needs to be the mantra, not buy now and pay later. Not all take things for granted but many do, just because your friend has something don't expect the same or better unless you can afford it. |

You can also throw into the mix that in years gone by there have been big employers locally paying large final salary pensions with many also receiving redundancy payments coming up to retirement age. I'm thinking about BP, Fords and to a certain extent The steelworks. That's a massive amount of bank of mum and dad disappearing from around here. |

The current government policy of taxation with regard to assets will greatly reduce "the bank of mum and dad". I have always been of the opinion that inherited wealth misses a generation, by the time your parents pass you don't need the money anyway, so it benifits the generation behind you. Over the next 10 years there will be a massive upheaval in the property market if the proposed taxation changes go ahead, not least seeing small private individuals renting property will virtually disappear. Many I know are selling up or increasing rents massively to cover the increased taxation. There will need to be a dramatic change in government policy to enable children to move out of their parents home. Do governments have the inclination or foresight to completely overhaul the property market I'm not sure. The upcoming change to council tax thresholds is a ticking time bomb about to go off and many have not even thought about it,. |

A different scenario for you with a government pension, many are not as fortunate. I don't begrudge anyone with a government pension but it does mean that they have completely different options to many others. Many like the police signed up to a specific pension arrangement which has been cancelled by the powers that be. The change of tax on the pension lump sum also means that people have to change their plans. Anyone starting work now at 16 will probably work for nearly 60 years and any retirement plans will have to be extremely flexible, your plans at 20 are very unlikely to be available at 70 plus. Property assets will be very limited for a start in my opinion. |

Thoroughly deserved win and not lucky apart from possibly their second goal. |

Or don't bother and live off the state. The way the retired are currently treated makes you think, should I have worked so hard, made sacrifices, saved for retirement and lived a responsible life just for the government to move the goalposts. |

Hiks is supposed to be very good. Carry them home in an insulated shopping bag that you would bring frozen food home in. |
