CB Fry

Krankie has just kicked off Jockxit.

I think there's going to have to be a general election, do you think so.

Somewhere in large house in Berlin.... Angela. Angela. Wake up. There's some people banging on the door.

At least CB Fry called it, not like you soppy Brexit sods too scared to. Personally gutted but will be a fascinating period in our history so let's get on with it.

This was my solemn prediction and I am standing by it now. Newcastle voted in by a squeak but the industrial cities of England like Stoke won't. Scotland and Wales and London and Norwich are not going to carry it for Remain. Leave will win.

CB Fry calling the f uck out of it. Well, the Sunderland bit anyway.

Adler o'clock. Poor lighting.

Let's see. That turnout might be inspired young previously apathetic remainers or it might a molten raging lump of previously apathetic working class brexiteers. People that have never voted before can't be predicted so well, despite pollsters and bookies.

Either way looking like a knife edge night.

Er, 52% / 48% It's on the TV now.

Odd. It looks legit (in that his profile and tweets he is a real person not a nutcase/tweetbot).

I must have missed some of the results come in - what's the latest?

Get behind the trumped up forum codswallop FFS.

As far as I know there isn't an exit poll. That's the one that was pretty much bang on last year. It was the Paddy Ashdown eat-my-hat poll and he scoffed that mother. Not sure why they're not doing it this time but they're not. So I think any poll will be yet another poll/Web thing so not necessarily any more accurate.

Yes it was. Repeated over and over again. If you're talking about "explicit statements" and "evidence" would you mind telling me who specifically has left because they specifically don't like working with "Uncle Les" or find it not pleasant? And how might this compare with a similar level of discontent with a Jeremy Peace or a Franco Baldini or any other senior manager at any football club in Britain?

Media whores.

Always a reliable source of forum gold.

You expecting me to listen to that guy over somebody incredibly well informed and in no way a mentalist on Bletchweb?

How do you know how we are negotiating and what our tactics are? We've done very well negotiating up to now. Les making faux-tough statements publicly make no difference at all to any negotiations and just provides a stick for people like you to beat him with when we do sell. And the new manager is irrelevant in most cases - if Victor has said to Saints I am going to Spurs whoever the new manager is and whatever you offer me, then what is this new manager going to "assess"? He is going and that's it. Bizarre.

Many clubs would be right to do that.

I've never bet on anything at all in my entire life. But yeah, you've really got me there.

"Leicester decided that they would sell Jamie Vardy for £20m in February 2016 when it was included in his contract extension" They have also "decided" to do this with other players. Their best players in fact. In fact, they have decided to sell their best players.

Leicester didn't decide anything - Vardy had a release clause, therefore a clear price tag on his head. They'd decided what they would sell him for six months ago when he signed his last contract. Vardy himself decided to stay, for various reasons.

People will continue to complain but in Scotland that result has stuck and it is over. Sturgeon cannot go again without a significant change (EU vote might be that). 55% is enough of a mandate and there is precedent. Less than that and it's dicier.

I can't see how anything below 55% can be a mandate for anything. 55% was Scotland so that's the bench mark so that's that. Over. But 52% - either way - is frankly not good enough and as you quite rightly say a sh it storm. That close and the vote results will fracture - There will be MPs saying "my constituents did not vote for this result" and refusing to carry any leave/remain ratification bill through parliament. That, and some riots or something. Project fear should have been about the 51/49 result. That's where we need to be afraid.
