He knows....

More or less. Cameron voted for what he advocated and lost. Miliband voted for something he didn't advocate and won. Funny old world.

Someone associated with Pompey in getting off on a technicality shocker (and then exclaiming relief that they've 'got away with it'). It really is in their DNA down there, isn't it...

You forgot "6) threads about other threads"....

Highlights my point nicely. Cheers

Anyone else think that Rickie being picked for England is probably the biggest selection 'headache' that Pochettino has right now? I could be wrong (for once) but I'm assuming that MP is keen to see how well and how quickly Ramirez and Osvaldo can 'gel' but starting them both would probably mean having to start Rickie on the bench, which he's probably loathed to do given how keen he seemingly is for Rickie to break into the England World Cup squad. Yes, I know its a "nice problem to have" but I just wonder if it would be easier to pair Ramirez and Osvaldo if Rickie's profile hadn't gone through the roof over the last few weeks. Just me pondering out loud. FWIW, I would start Rickie on the bench for this one

Sounds like the script for a new Only Fools and Horses Christmas Special... Del Boy - Micah Hall Rodney - Colin Farmery Uncle - Iain McInnes Trigger - Neil Allen Any others?

So, MPs have voted against a motion based on public anger about a completely different scenario 10 years ago. Whilst I'm obviously happy to see 'democracy in action' it's a little disappointing that a proportion of the public and MPs don't seem to be willing to treat each case on its own merits. They may well have come to the right decision (that remains to be seen) but not necessarily for all the right reasons. I think Cameron comes out of this well: he went to parliament, laid out the public domain facts and information and let parliament decide what to do next. Not a sexed up dossier in sight. The ghosts of Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell live on...

You've answered your own question right there. There's no such thing as "best singer songwriter"

Lucky escape there Vic...

Yeah, pretty much....although I didn't realise quite how hit and miss he's been until I read his stats after posting. Thought he might fit as a cheap (ish) Puncheon replacement but would rather we looked at promoting the likes of Isgrove and Rowe. As you were ladies and gents.... (i.e. ignore me)

I just watched the video of this morning's press conference with Pochettino. When asked if we were interested in signing Abdoulaye Ba he frowned and gave a categoric "No. I'm being honest with you" answer. When asked the same question about Victor Moses he gave a long-winded Osvaldo-esque "no, not really, but...." never say never kind of answer. Make of that what you will...
