  1. And living standards are irrelevant?
  2. Although I do think they should take their chances and leave the Euro. It can't get too much worse for them really
  3. They can refuse to trade with Greece. The fact that Russia is now going into recession shows the power they have
  4. Are none of the Green Party supporters on here going to defend them? The best we've had is "oh but we don't really expect them to form a government". The Citizens Income seems like the left wing version of the flat tax to me, the idea that efficiency from simplifying the system will make up for all its deficiencies. I've really been trying hard to let the Greens impress me, and voted for then in the euro elections. but they do seem to be a bit too idealistic to be a serious option
  5. I don't remember Antti Niemi being as weak as Forster at commanding his area, surely we can get someone as good as him again?
  6. A 7 way debate will be terrible, no one will have time to say anything except their sound bites. And they should have separate Scotland and Wales debates if they want the regional parties involved
  7. That was brave, good work! Looked like a nasty injury so he could be out for a while, not that it really affects us. I really want him to suddenly become a top premier league player but it of course looks unlikely
  8. Going off on a stretcher now!
  9. Just scored for Zambia, nice finish
  10. He's no Anti Niemi, that's for sure. Oh to have him back. Great win all the same
  11. He knew we were going to score!
  12. And it only took them 4.5 years to get things sorted. Our strength compared to Europe is almost entirely thanks to Gordon Brown's refusal to join the Euro and the ECB's refusal to use quantitative easing
  13. At the start of the season it was the sensible view to think that we would probably stall and drop down the table. But there was always a chance that we'd make champions league, maybe 20%. With every passing week that we are still in the top 4, the chances of us making it increase. I'd still say its now about 40% chance because it is such a tough thing to do, but others are welcome to be more positive. Anyone who said we had no chance was just as much of an idiot as anyone who says we definitely will make it.
  14. Nice one. I just mean it's closer to Liverpool than Southampton is
  15. Although looking at the table there's not many options for him there. West Brom maybe?
  16. Let's not forget that Rickie may well want to stay in the north west even if he leaves Liverpool
  17. I still think charities are the way forward. No shareholders getting rich from the public purse, and no ingrained bureaucracy because you can kick them out if they are no good
  18. We're asking all the wrong questions about the Charlie Hebdo attacks: http://mic.com/articles/108028/we-re-asking-all-the-wrong-questions-about-the-charlie-hebdo-attacks
  19. A good suggestion. I would also suggest that if you raise people out of poverty then suddenly all this blasphemy stuff won't seem quite so important anymore
  20. I'm just as pleased that Matt Smith is also being dropped
  21. We need to accept that while £12m generally gets you good players in most positions, up front it is much more of a gamble. It worked with Pelle but less so with Long
  22. Arsenal don't defend as a team and aren't well coached defensively. It's little wonder he is going backwards
  23. Chambers definitely kept Clyne out of the team for plenty of matches. I always preferred Clyne myself
  24. You still get everyone groaning when a player misplaces a pass and individual fans shouting that they're carp and to get off the pitch. I remember Puncheon being scared to show for a throw in because his confidence was affected by this
  25. I think Telfer was good but Wright wasn't. So where do I sit in your theory?
