He still should have been dropped though. While we weren't a great team, he was a level below the others and as far as I recall, we had other options. Rory Delap is the other one I remember as inexplicably playing every game when we had other options. That's why he got stick. While it doesn't help to have the crowd getting on their back, it is hard not to react when they give the ball away yet again. And its as much a signal to the manager as it is to the player

When Schneiderlin leaves in the summer (assuming we don't make the Champions League) will we buy a replacement, or will Cork have more opportunities?

It may be simplistic to say that the ease of buying guns is the only factor. But it is in all probability the major one. None of the alternatives you've given are particularly convincing and it does seem like you simply don't want to believe that widespread gun ownership is leading to tragic and needless deaths. Out of interest, are you a gun owner yourself?

-
42% of American households own guns, compared to 15% in Canada. The death rate by firearms in the United States was*10.2 per 100,000 people 2009; in Canada, the rate was 2.5 http://guncontrol.ca/overview-gun-control-us-canada-global/

No one has said you can get them in every shop, that is a straw man argument

Seriously dude, your argument makes no sense. Regardless of whether it is possible to get a gun here, it is clearly much easier in the US. You must admit that right? They're available in supermarkets without stringent background checks. Sure it's possible to get hold of a gun here if you really want to. But the amount of work involved will inevitably put plenty of people off, and it also means that people can't rush out and get one in a rage because they've had a bad day at the office or whatever. By contrast, if you have them in supermarkets like in the US, you're advertising the idea of buying a gun to people who may never have even considered it otherwise. The other thing about the US is it's easier to get hold of rapid fire machine gun style guns, which means that if someone does flip out, they can kill more people before they are stopped

Brilliant win
-
Twice now the commentator has complemented our support. Always an electrifying atmosphere apparently
-
Arsenal look so penetrable in defence
-
Hazard is really good
-
I'm just surprised that Yoshi is at right back. Isn't Toby able to play there?
-
Easier said than done. The only thing you can do is crowd him out, but we were caught short
-
Having JWP's delivery in the side makes such a difference

Self made millionaires are sometimes the worst because they think anyone can do what they did if they just work hard enough

Anyone else think we could be on the verge of something special?

I'm sure Koeman will turn it round to some degree but the jury is still out for me -
The G20 has actually (belatedly) launched some fairly major projects to work out how to clamp down on tax avoidance. Feel free to be cynical about whether they are doing enough, but international tax avoidance is a very complex problem and will take massive international cooperation to sort it out. Westminster can't doing it alone

Strange body shape from Toby
-
Chances starting to come now at least
-
Mane really needs to come off now
-
I defended him after United but he has struggled to create anything today against a team defending in numbers
-
Higher demand for tickets at those clubs to be fair. But yeah, I'm sure the maths wouldn't add up for us to do it, it would have to be a benevolent gesture
-
If it meant they could substantially reduce ticket prices then I would probably go more often. Doubt they would though
-
Although 90% of his passes were wayward, the 10% he managed to get right were dangerous. Erratic yes, but still looked most likely to break through Utd's defence. Realistically he shouldn't be starting games but he is the best we have at the moment, and will improve
-
I know he was extremely erratic but still looked the most likely to create a chance
