Re: Short Phone Numbers

It amazes me that phone regulators can't do more about these scam phone calls. Especially the calls where they ask you to press 1 and when you do they charge you. Surely that charge goes through BT and therefore they should be able to regulate it.

From the stats and comments above it sounds like the U21's are following the trend of being obsessed with playing out from the back.

I would love to see the stat, in the premier league so far, how many goal kicks have made it to the half way line before loosing the ball?
