Always good to see the Saintsweb intelligentsia and Jeremy Clarkson singing from the same hymn sheet...

Is Ballard injured? Or maybe in contention for tomorrow's squad? (The latter seems unlikely given our reluctance to give any of the youngsters even a berth on the bench)

I don't think Turkish is expressing an opinion here, rather he's trying to understand what goes through someone's mind when they've accomplished what they set out to do, i.e. save their life, but who then go on to do something thereafter that puts their life back in danger again. I think it's a valid scenario to want to understand as it does appear somewhat illogical on the surface. -

I think we can all acknowledge and agree that international law allows people to claim asylum in whatever country they choose to do so. That's a given. I guess what some people find hard to comprehend, perhaps understandably to a certain degree, is why someone fleeing their homeland for fear of their life wouldn't naturally seek to claim asylum as soon as they reach safety, in whatever country that may be. I guess what some people are thinking is: "surely the relief of having saved their life would lead them to claim asylum as soon as possible rather than possibly risk their life further by extending/prolonging their journeys more than they need to in order to stay safe?" In other words, just because the law allows someone to do something, it may not actually be logical and/or sensible to do what the law allows you to do? -

Wouldn't they be even richer if they didn't give their money to people smugglers..? -
When you query on social media why an artist/comedian/band haven't included a gig in the West Country on their upcoming tour, to which some bright spark replies: "They're doing Bristol". Bristol.... that'll be the place that's closer to Manchester than many parts of Cornwall, and closer to Birmingham than large swathes of Devon. West Country, my arse

If it's not going to win the Tories a signifcant number of votes at the next general election (or indeed, it could/should even lose them votes if its as unpopular as you say) then anyone who doesn't want the Tories to win the next election should be happy that they are barking up the wrong tree with this policy and actively encourage them to continue shooting themselves in the foot, shouldn't they..? -
186 (just counting the number of times I've read that line on social media today.... )

This is what baffles me about the clever people. They tend to say stuff that makes the thick people even more resolute to vote for the very things that the clever people abhor. Surely, if the clever people were really clever then they would avoid telling the thick people how thick they are? Yet they do the opposite. Maybe we simply live in a world where everyone is thick, no matter how clever some people think they are....? -
There wasn't the usual 'print at home' option available when I bought my ticket. Just home delivery or collect at stadium.
