Ref was appalling, if that was a pen there should be 4 or 5 every game.

McCarthy ****ed up for the first goal.

Useless ****s

They are **** away, we have to win this one.

I thought he said he found it a couple of days before giving it to her but only the plod have the facts so it's probably not as odd as it appears. From what we know it could easily have been dumped by another Russian agent still over here and Dumb and Dumber we just sent over with the bottle or as cover.

Clearly it is those Russian guys but it doesn't make finding a perfume bottle in a bin (I think the guy was clear on that fact, just couldn't remember which one) 4 months later is a bit odd. Especially considering the amount of cops, spooks and army going over Salisbury in the months after the attack. I'm not a seasoned bin dipper but I would imagine that finding a packaged bottle of perfume is a bit of a one-off and likely to stick in your mind a bit - even for someone with a drug habit.

One thing that is odd though is how the perfume bottle was found in a bin 4 months after the original poisoning.

Or they are just waiting for the Russians response before releasing further evidence. For example if they did bring the perfume bottlle into the country then it would probably be on the airport X-rays which would contradict their statement. Either way they are looking pretty guilty. Rallyboy is correct though about the evidence.

I don't think there is any doubt about this after reading the two guy's reasons for being in Salisbury. What a joke. Putin doesn't give a flying ****, he knows he can take out whoever he wants in this country and there's not a thing we can do about it.

It was never a money saving thing for me because I always missed a few games through work. It's more the convenience, being guaranteed a decent seat and being sat with the same bunch of mates. Not everyone is a penny pinching tight arse.

Just a pointless bull**** article. We’ve made a few bad recruitment descisions, that’s it. Was bound to happen with the rate the big clubs were poaching our talent same would happen to most outside the top 6. If Hughes finds the right formula and we’re a little bit lucky we could easily finish 8th again rendering every word of the article meaningless.

Here's what Norman Finkelstein, an American Jewish scholar who had everyone in his family, apart from his parents, exterminated in the Nazi holocaust has to say about the subject: What about when people use Nazi analogies to criticise the policies of the State of Israel? Isn’t that also a political abuse of the Nazi holocaust? It’s not a simple question. First, if you’re Jewish, the instinctive analogy to reach for, when it comes to hate or hunger, war or genocide, is the Nazi holocaust, because we see it as the ultimate horror. In my home growing up, whenever an incident involving racial discrimination or bigotry was in the news, my mother would compare it to her experience before or during the Nazi holocaust. When she saw the segregation of African-Americans, whether at a lunch counter or in the school system, that was, for her, like the prologue to the Nazi holocaust. Whereas many Jews now say, Never compare (Elie Wiesel’s refrain, ‘It’s bad, but it’s not The Holocaust’), my mother’s credo was, Always compare. She gladly and generously made the imaginative leap to those who were suffering, wrapping and shielding them in the embrace of her own suffering. For my mother, the Nazi holocaust was a chapter in the long history of the horror of war. It was not itself a war – she was emphatic that it was an extermination, not a war – but it was a unique chapter within the war. So for her, war was the ultimate horror. When she saw Vietnamese being bombed during the Vietnam War, it was the Nazi holocaust. It was the bombing, the death, the horror, the terror, that she herself had passed through. When she saw the distended bellies of starving children in Biafra, it was also the Nazi holocaust, because she remembered her own pangs of hunger in the Warsaw Ghetto. If you’re Jewish, it’s just normal that the Nazi holocaust is a ubiquitous, instinctual touchstone. Some Jews say this or that horror is not the Nazi holocaust, others say it is. But the reference point of the Nazi holocaust is a constant. What about when people who aren’t Jewish invoke the analogy? Once the Nazi holocaust became the cultural referent, then, if you wanted to touch a nerve regarding Palestinian suffering, you had to make the analogy with the Nazis, because that was the only thing that resonated for Jews. If you compared the Palestinians to Native Americans, nobody would give a darn. In 1982, when I and a handful of other Jews took to the streets of New York to protest Israel’s invasion of Lebanon (up to 18,000 Lebanese and Palestinians were killed, overwhelmingly civilians), I held a sign saying, ‘This son of survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Auschwitz, Maijdenek will not be silent: Israeli Nazis – Stop the Holocaust in Lebanon!’. (After my mother died, I found a picture of me holding that sign in a drawer among her keepsakes). I remember, as the cars drove past, one of the guys protesting with me kept saying, ‘hold the sign higher!’ (And I kept replying, ‘easy for you to say!’). If you invoked that analogy, it shook Jews, it jolted them enough, that at least you got their attention. I don’t think it’s necessary anymore, because Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians now have an integrity of their own. They no longer have to be juxtaposed to, or against, the Nazi holocaust. Today, the Nazi analogy is gratuitous and a distraction. Is it antisemitic? No, it’s just a weak historical analogy – but, if coming from a Jew, a generous moral one.

But to be fair, though it's no argument for ignoring climate change, in theory a warming climate will also be good for plants in areas that were previously too cold.

I was going to mention that one - probably the most dramatic thing I have ever seen on a football pitch live. It's one thing scoring a last minute winner but a free kick from that distance in the last minute of a vital relegation scrap is something else. I remember thinking that it was the football equivalent of hitting a home run off the last ball in baseball or scoring a 6 of the last ball in cricket.

In terms of going ape-**** these spring to mind: 1. Camera v Norwich 2. Rasiak v Derby 3. Gabbi v Swansea 4. Barry Horne’s pile driver v Bolton 5. Lambert v the Skates at Fratton

If I had to put my house on it I would go for Cardiff, Huddersfield and probably Brighton. Think we should be alright, as long as Ings stays fit.

They are just as bad. Problem is Corbyn has enemies all over the place and tit suits them all to whip us this ridiculous hysteria.

Of course it is, it's inaccurate, over the top and in very poor taste but that doesn't make it racist. If comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is racist then comparing any country to Nazi Germany is racist. It's a dangerous road to go down when you are labelled racist for criticising the actions of a country.

Clearly a problem but they are just as clearly trying to stamp it out. It's only the criticism of Israel thing that keeps certain people banging on about it. Problem is Corbyn has so many enemies and it's in all their interests to keep the issue in the media. I'm not a fan of Corbyn at all but I despise media witch hunts even more. Do you actually think comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is racist?

What a **** draw.

You're right, a lot of Labour supporting areas voted for Brexit so many people who usually vote Labour would have voted for Brexit. But voters going on way or the other is a bit different to party members and MPs campaigning on the issue IMO. 1. Cameron called the referendum then the next day proceeded to make out leaving would be a fate worse than death. It made no sense - how were the electorate supposed to take project fear seriously when its cheerleader was the person who thought it was a good idea to hold a referendum in the first place. It's like me holding a poll on here for 'should I punch myself in the face?' - no good can come of it, for me anyway. 2. The conservatives have always been perceived as the party to trust on for above all, business and the economy. Again it's hard to blame the electorate for ignoring project fear when shed loads of Tory MPs and high profile ones like Boris inparticular campaigned for leave.

Just illustrating how we appeared to be more ambitious back in the Cortese/Leibherr days, **** me it’s not rocket science. Why are you wetting your pants over it anyway - ****ing weirdo.

The quality of our signings has gone down. I would have thought that was obvious.

I never said they were not linked with anyone.

To be fair the Conservatives called the referendum, the vast majority of MPs who supported Brexit were Tory and Boris basically won it for Leave. Plus they are the party implementing it.
