To be fair, he's just stating a fact.

You are illustrating my point perfectly. According to you geniuses, leaving the EU is supposed to make us richer by boosting industry and making food cheaper - a new golden age brought on by Brexit - ergo we didn't vote to be poorer.

I suspect that's true for old people but the vast majority of working people it wouldn't be. If it is a disaster and factories start closing because of Brexit that's going to be hard line to sell to someone struggling to put food on the table for their family. We're supposed to be richer after Brexit so we can spend more on the NHS, that's what Boris's bus told us.

That’s nonsense, the law just needs to state that the benefit of doubt goes to the attacker.

That wouldn’t make any difference, there would still be someone offside/onside by a fraction of a boot, it would just move the lines.

Exactly. VAR is a bit annoying but with the amount of blatantly wrong decisions we’ve been on the end of at bigger clubs over the years I’m surprised any Saints fan wants to go back to how it was. It needs to be streamlined but it’s better overall IMO, if only for cutting down on the amount of diving.

VAR isn’t perfect but neither is having a Watford player punch the ball into our goal or having a perfectly good goal disallowed in a cup final. They just need to tweak it.

If it’s a disaster people will soon change their minds, the EU have made it perfectly clear we would be welcomed back in. It obviously all depends how it turns out but no-one voted to be poorer.

To be fair it doesn’t mean they were not right, it all depends how Brexit turns out. If it’s a disaster then they will soon be re-elected.

Obviously it depends on the movement of the players but the Frame can be frozen at the position that gives most benefit of doubt to the striker, if wether the contact is slightly earlier or later makes a difference.

To be fair it doesn’t have to be that precise. If you are giving the benefit of doubt to the attacker then you freeze it when there has obviously been contact with the ball (probably a split second after the ball has been struck).

**** knows why Pep took de Bruyne off. Not even Liverpool can mess this one up now.

I enjoyed Gavin and Stacey back in the original series but this Xmas one was a bit ****, they should have just left it alone - it’s had it’s day. Fawlty Towers, Fools and Horse, and more recently the inbetweeners and fleabag make me laugh. I guess the kids nowadays find other stuff funny, doesn’t mean it’s worse.

I’m not suggesting we do away with iPhones and range rovers, or attempt to stop poverty altogether. I just reckon we should be able to scrape together enough tax revenue so that kids don’t have to sleep on piles of clothes on hospital floors etc.

That’s just Tory bull**** IMO. Decent public services mean paying a bit more tax - when asked to do so some say OK, others scream “Venezuela”.

I don’t think it’s weird, I just despise the greed and selfishness and see conservatism as a movement for both. I find it depressing to live in a society that values having the latest iPhone or Range Rover over caring for the most unfortunate and vulnerable. That’s just my opinion.

How does what I think effect the outcome of an election? Weirdo

LOL, that’s a first, coming from a Tory. It’s you ****s who cry like a bunch of babies at the thought of paying a bit more tax to stop people dying on trollies in hospital corridors.

You still don’t had to be a “Lefty” to hate everything the Tories stand for.

No, but we will soon be direct competition with them, so by default they will do all they can to have what is currently supplied by us, supplied by another EU state.

I agree, my point was that I think a fair amount of non EU trade is done as part of trade deals we have got because we are part of the EU, not the other way round. I’m no expert and quite frankly find the subject a bit boring but from what I have read it seams that any gains we might get through trade deals around the world are unlikely to offset the loses made trough losing EU trade, the effects of the disruption and not being part of a powerful trading block. It’s irrelevant now anyway because it’s happening, we just have to hope these Tories know what they are doing. At least if it is a disaster the Tories will be finished - that’s the silver lining.

Wasn’t some of that growth due to the trade deals the EU have done though, like with Japan?

Great result, didn’t see that coming after the West Ham performance. Looks like Ralph has found his formation, hopefully we can strengthen in Jan and we will be OK.

... if only that were true

Then how come the remainers were "thrashed in the General Election"?
