You're a careful reader, so carefully read the post I quoted from you which was a direct reply from you to me. Go back. Read carefully. There it is. Not a reply to anyone else. To me. That's kinda why I thought you were replying to me because it was a reply to me. I read it real careful, like. And I've carefully read my post and I'm struggling to see where I've suggested you are a racist. But I've read you carefully and I am seeing someone desperate to deny something they haven't even been accused of in the first place. How strange. Anything else you want to deny being? I am absolutely delighted to put on the record that I don't think you're racist at all. Lastly. You write horsesh it, that's all I've said. The link between college education and propensity to vote for Clinton is huge, undeniable, unavoidable. Read this carefully you old definitely not a racist person. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/behind-trumps-victory-divisions-by-race-gender-education/

One, that doesn't disprove my point that a candidate's "base" is not, obviously, every single person that voted for them. Two, not sure why you using "white" as a qualifier in a mixed race country like the US is. Thirdly, just a cursory look shows that across the "college educated vs not" divide, more voted for Clinton by a significant margin. Linked, quoted. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/behind-trumps-victory-divisions-by-race-gender-education/ ..... In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980. For example, in 2012, there was hardly any difference between the two groups: College graduates backed Obama over Romney by 50%-48%, and those without a college degree also supported Obama 51%-47%. .... Any chance you will ever post anything that isn't horsesh it?

That bollo cks is straight out of the "a policeman can't arrest you if he's not wearing his hat" urban myth factory.

I think SOG is a season behind. I think under Claude there was something about how many chances we created but didn't put away but last season we were just sh it all over the pitch.

That's because we want more than a free trade deal.

Its here on his special slide. I'm sure someone who knows more than me will plot that Japan deal but I guess somewhere near Korea and Canada.

Pretty certain that we can have a free trade deal with the EU and not have to follow the rulebook. Believe that has been on offer from Barnier from the very start of the process. I imagine right now the EU are thinking, go on, take that option and make our fu cking day.

In politics, a party/leader's "base" is not "every single person that voted for them". Not difficult.

Mess.

Like.

Yes, that's a perfect route to Pride Park but it's a bit of a stroll. If anyone wants to park and go then should be doable for a pre-season. Plus the Toys R Us right near the ground has just shut so get a feeling that will likely be turned into match parking too.

...

You're writing that like he turned up outside Staplewood with his boots and a sportsbag and we turned him away. Jesus wept.

You should be able to park closer than that. If they open the car parks in the various parts of the trading estate (they do on normal match days) on Pride Park then you should get a spot near the ground.

Basically this is the same argument I was using when people were talking about easy draws and how we should throw the Belgium game to get us a route to the final before anyone even knew who was going to qualify from that other group. Sweden had just given Germany a hell of a game, had knocked out Holland and Italy. Colombia had recently beaten France. Thanks for making it for me. Cheers.

No it would have been a disaster on an Iceland scale. Hope that helps.

Of course, if we'd have beaten Belgium reserves, then Japan, then a noble but iconic loss to Brazil would have meant getting on the plane home with one defeat at the tournament not three. Hey ho.

They're not obliged to pick Ryan Bertrand and really they can offer any explanation or none. Get over it.

Did you miss Burnley finishing seventh last season then above Everton and Leicester? Or Huddersfield staying up but Stoke, WBA going down? Between 7th - 20th it certainly not as easy as whoever spends the most wins.

Bertrand really not that much better. Let's remember who lazily wafted a clearance to let Everton equalise which could well have been fatal for our season. Let's not pretend he would have made any difference at all. The fact he didn't get on the plane shows what a poor season Ryan Bertrand had.

I think it's more traditional that fully fit 30-year old goalkeepers tend to continue being a goalkeeper for four or five or six more seasons before they even think about coaching. Bizarre.

He doesn't need to be "sold it" it's obvious in itself. Play well for two straight seasons and he could be on £££££££ and in the Champions League. If he delivers that he would have been brilliant for us.

Exactly- it's a song about crazy and usually forlorn hope, not entitlement.

Looks like a perfect Saints signing from back in the day when we made good signings (three years ago). Great stuff.
