Residents there are almost twice as likely to suffer a break-in as the average UK householder. Leeds is second on the list of shame, followed by Hull and London. Advertisement At the other end of the scale, Guildford, Surrey; Swindon, Wilts; and Dundee are the safest areas. However, home thefts across the country have fallen by nearly 60 per cent since 1995, the British Crime Survey reveals. And in Nottingham - whose legendary outlaw Robin Hood has been played by film stars such as Errol Flynn - burglaries hit a seven-year low this year. Police Chief Supt Marcus Beale said: "One burglary is still one too many, but the figures show we are heading in the right direction." Yesterday's statistics were drawn up by insurers Endsleigh from claims made in the past four years. They show university cities Oxford and Cambridge among the burglary blackspots. The firm's Stuart Wartalski acknowledged theft rates were falling but warned householders needed to remain vigilant. He said: "There's a range of steps people can take, such as installing burglar alarms, window locks, doubleglazing and motion-sensitive lighting. "Even simple, cost-effective measures such as plug-in timers for lights and radios when you are out can make a difference in putting off burglars."

Come On Merseyside!

I enjoyed it, thought It was very entertaining... I liked Jack Sparrow's Split Personality type thing, made me laugh out loud alot of the time. Hope they do a spin off with him going to the fountain of youth... -

Amen to that, I find myself praying Liverpool players don't get injured playing for England.

It was a flash forward, not a flash back so basically the "Flash Back" we seen throughout the finale was indeed a glimpse into the future
-
I can't say much that hasn't been said already, other than simply it goes down to the tickets. ANy club with a fan base like ours would of experienced the exact same violence. Not that it is an excuse for our fans beheaviour

See Houllier has stepped down as Lyon Manager.. Man City Perhaps...?

I learned to like my mother, I'll learn to like the Villa Badge I suppose :|

It is true though you really could of got through using any ticket, their was a picture I seen (I'll try to find it) With a seas of people holding up their tickets, the fake tickets can only be recognised by a UV light on the hologram, which by all accounts was in short supply. My final say is, We are both responsible for what happend us and UEFA but, it never happend in Istanbul, and you could argue there were more fans... Oh and that Villa badge is horrible :|

I have said it once before and I will say it again, Foreign Police will never be able to control England fans. You only have to look at Roma, Sevilla and Athens to know what I mean...There were no turnstiles, it was not a football stadium instead their was what my dad described as 3 "bottle neck" security checks. With about 3 UV lights per checkpoint to fliter the fake tickerts from legit. Outside the ground A Combination of Desperate Fans without tickets + Ill Prepared Greek Police + Badly Organised Fake Ticket Flitering System led to the violence of which occured. Yes our fans robbed tickets and I cannot condone that, yet I firmly believe that better preperation and arrangement from UEFA would of prevented this from happening. This was always bound to happen once our ticket allocation had been announced, Liverpool FC as a club together with fans pleaded with them. Rick Parry before the game quoted "It would of been better for UEFA to give us extra tickets and let us deal with them through our own official chanels rather then let them be put on the black market" UEFA will point the finger at us for our fans beheaviour, we will blame UEFA for their incompetence and not listening to us about what could potentially happen and how Ill Prepared they were leading up the finale, in the security of the fans and the overall preperation of the finale. But the fact remains, no matter what we try to prove to the rest of Europe. I'ts down to shock tactics now, Just you wait till the Sunday Tabloids, they will have a field day Let us remember this never happend in Istanbul,
-
Spot On mate I agree with everything you are saying, I believe this problem would of happend with any other team with such passionatly supported fans, William Gallard said something about it never happend with Celtic Fans in Sevilla. Well maybe that because Sevilla knew what they were doing reguarding fake tickets etc, and the same happend in Istanbul They knew what they were doing as well, it all goes down to the event organizers.
