I understand what you mean, but equally it's a quirk of our political system that any party can say what they will do in the manifesto, yet it will only be do-able if they rule in majority government. And as past elections have shown, any party that gets into power can go back on the manifesto after they finally get a chance to see the 'state of play.' Any manifesto from a point of opposition will only ever be at best educated guesses on what could be achieved. They cannot say what they will do if they need to go into Coalition because they will never be able to certainly predict the proportion of influence they will hold within a government formed in that way. This will devastate the Liberal Democrats in the next election after the farce over raised tuition fees, despite the fact that for the first time in recent history a liberal party has had chance to influence any kind of policy..... just on a minority basis. It's a problem with the rules for me, not the players.

He couldn't honour it due to being in Coalition. It was one of the compromises made to make a deal with the Liberal Democrats.

Pleased with this. Particularly with how Cameron came across on the radio, words to the effect of: "We will give the public their say; I personally think we should stay in but this will give us the chance to debate and then make an informed vote "

Not just me then!!!

Rochdale in the inaugural competition.

You have to wonder what has happened to the guy who was in charge at Norwich when they went up back-to-back.

Bradford City in a cup final. Football, bloody hell!!

Bradford equaliser!!!! Get in there!

Maurice, or 'Mo' for short.

That's a shame, he was alright at it.

Thought he was objecting to being substituted. .... all that gesturing.... but no! Ha!!

There was four at most. The protest died on it's arse.

Assured, strong and commanding. Southampton's number one.

Not a cats chance in hell!!

Zambia 1-1 Ethiopia Mayuka played the last ten minutes. Looked rapid and ran through a few times but with little real impact. Ethiopia had their keeper sent off after pole axing a Zambian forward. Good game all in, two excellent goals scored.

Our leading goalscorer. He will still be key, at the very least until the summer.

"The club are £61m in debt." It would therefore take a third CVA for the Trust/HNWI consortium to even stand a chance of continuing the existing club..... Servicing that debt would essentially be impossible for them.

Wouldn't be a surprise. He needs to prove himself to the players as much as he needs to learn the squad. What better way then to escape the current weather conditions and take the squad to a more familiar environment for him.

I'm now free to set off whenever thanks to an impromptu day off. Any hints or suggestion of a pitch inspection? I don't want a wasted journey.

Get out.......

What are the road conditions like?

Utterly inspired!! Someone at the BBC must have seen that coming....

Isn't that the Spanish sense of humour?

Travelling to and from from Coventry will be interesting.

I don't follow..... is the translation that damning?
