Did McMenemy set up the training centre in Bath, then?

Because last season he scored five goals, fewer than Shane Long.

Spurs: no ambition.

And all that negative net spend as well, which forum geniuses were very quick to remind me is the main driver of success for any club. Well, Villa, Newcastle and Sunderland have been delivering positive net spend season in, season out (the last two over five concecutive seasons at least) and they are indeed proof positive. Oh, and haven't Stoke and Palace strengthened, like, so well. So much strengthening in the summer and it's made such a difference that's for sure. Skinflint, clueless, cheapskate Les and Ralph take note.

Their auto place went at least three weeks ago if not longer than that. They've been nowhere near.

Any guesses that Wes's next post makes some reference to "the establishment"?
-
Koeman has an anti-Saints agenda.

Except pretty much every single remain person does not accept the predictions as the "gospel truth". Just a fiction in your head, weak and puerile frankly. The only people being unequivocal are Brexiteers like, well, you.

Your corporations point is utterly non-sensical. Businesses all over the world can and want to trade with the UK now. Following Brexit they won't all suddenly want to trade with us more as you seem to think, it's just we will have made it more difficult and onerous. Germans want to sell us cars, Brexit will made that more difficult. You seem to think that all these corporations are going to respond to Brexit by running around desperate to sort things out for out benefit. It will be Brexit just creating more ball-ache where previously there was less. I know the Brexiteers absolutely love the German-car-makers-banging-on-Angela's-door routine but it's a nonsense interpretation of what will be a multi-lateral international set of negotiations. As Farage and Co and you love to remind us, Northern Europe growth is slowing. So if I was BMW I'd start focusing growth on the profitable growth engines of India and China and over the next five years could easily find a way to fill any gap lost through changes in tariffs and agreements with the UK. Brexit does not give us control of the German car industry. Angela once she opens the door to those banging on the door car manufacturers can tell them that they can all be on the next plane to Beijing and let's start filling that potential gap now. Because that's where the growth is, right Brexiteers?

He didn't issue any threats. It's taken as a threat because you don't like what he said. It was a very sober assessment. Not sure what your point about US Corporations is. Sure they'd like a trade deal but as Obama says they'll prioritise with the biggest and most strategically important. Pretty basic stuff really. Hilarious you see it as a threat when's it's the very obvious way of the world. In any post-Brexit negotiations woth the US you can bet our opening gambit to the US won't be the bottom lip grizzling rubbish about how the special relationship has been ruined and pointless jabbering about 'why don't you open your border to Mexico and have a supreme court in Colombia'. Put Farage, Liam Fox and political megastar Kate Hoey ("I've always admired her") in front of Obama (he'll still be President then) on June 25th and they won't be giving it the "how dare you" big boll ocks then.

He's the only game in town as long as he gets through this and is magnanimous and/or restorative win or lose - he'll either be leading a post Brexit Britain or a nearly-half-of-my-people-have-spoken-we-want-more-reform post Remain Britain. Either way he'll have some uniting to do.
-
Yes. That's safe for another couple of seasons as the Italian clubs bombed out of Europe too early.
-
In or out, he's a shoo-in.

Except he's not pretending to care about average Brit. He's just making the point that the US has bugger all interest in working with a post-Brexit UK, which was at one point a key point of the Brexiteers argument - the EU is holding us back from trade elsewhere, we want to work more closely with our chums across the Atlantic, not them frogs and krauts. Our chums have now been very clear they have no truck with this at all. A post Brexit UK will be a fiddly irritation to the world powers, and not in a good way.

It wouldn't be April without a tortuous thread about perceived ambiguities around European qualification. Usually permutated into oblivion by Redslo and The9. It was far simpler in the old days when the Charity Shield winner and the League Cup runners up got a place but only if the league winners finished in second place.

If that was their main objective they'd be encouraging us to leave.

I know both sides on here like to claim "British people are stupid" so we all have free reign to use it and I am going to carry on. That moment on Question Time you describe was depressing beyond belief. There's a huge chunk of people who are really interested in anything other than sticking it to the krauts and nebulous concept of sovereignty. Then that clever pr ick in the audience piped up and said "I've done some maths and added up what we spend on the EU and oh look over twenty years it's XXX trillion so we can write the deficit off etc etc". Cue more cheers and the idiot Hoey saying "you should be in the treasury". Yeah, that's definitely how it will work. Just a great big free pot of money. As long as they don't get too shrill, the outs should win this easily.

When John Lydon got the Sex Pistols back together back in the 1990s I admired their candour when they were quite unabashed about their true motives of making an effing mint. It's a shame most hide behind platitudes and obfuscation while planning to hoover it up.

I know for a fact that he's putting a downpayment on a bungalow at the posh end of Albufeira.

For the second time, on the same thread, on the same day, I'm not defending them.

Where have I said nut in the post you quoted? Verbal used that word and, by jiggidy, I am going to take him to task for that. That police officer has my warped respect for managing to proper coin it on the back of a high profile case he managed to botch to high heaven, made high profile entirely by the parents of the girl that he's a nothing but a parasite of. He's probably earned himself a spanking new conservatory now his book of fearless truth seeking is back in print. Ching ching my old son.

I'm not defending them. I'm mocking you and conspiro-idiots.

You're such a nincompoop.

A few divs on the internet's "quest for the truth" is another person's comedy gold.
