  1. And, for balance... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32720772
  2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32719779
  3. OK, you've convinced me.... A Tory/UKIP coalition under a PR system would have been a much better outcome....
  4. http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/brendan-oneill/2015/05/labour-lost-the-working-class-vote-a-long-time-ago/
  5. Since when did the General Election become a binary choice? I must have missed that one. Still, I'm sure Alanis Morrisette can make a new verse out of your post....
  6. Here's her original thinking on the matter: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/local/gosport-mp-against-move-for-same-sex-marriages-1-4752446 It doesn't sound like she was against same-sex marriage as a matter of dogmatic principle, rather she had concerns about the potential discrimination of people with religious beliefs. In other words, what she seems to be saying is that same-sex 'civil partnerships' and 'civil marriages' are already of equal status, in her opinion, and as such she didn't see a need to change anything to maintain that perceived level of equality. Now, one can obviously disagree with her opinion on that, but I'm not sure that her position on same-sex marriages is necessarily incompatible with being an equalities minister. On your marks, get set..... #pull Trousers' post to pieces klaxon#
  7. This won't be the team.... ----------------- Davis ------------------- Clyne - Fonte - Alderweireld - Bertrand -------------- Schneiderlin* --------------- Djuricic ------ Hesketh ----Ward-Prowse -------- Mane ------- Gallagher --------- Subs: Cropper, Targett, Yoshida, Wanyama/Reed*, Seager, Long, Pelle (*depends if Morgan is fit)
  8. Bugger! I'm just out of shot
  9. Nice one. The type of player we've been missing the second half of the season....
  10. I know I get ticked-off by the forum thought police for posting links to other people's opinions, but I'm thinking I might just get away with this one as its by a Labour voter (purportedly)... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/11597436/Stop-your-whinging-why-the-Left-are-such-bad-losers.html
  11. Swansea take the lead vs Arsenal
  12. I'd defo have the attacking trio of Hesketh, Seager and Gallagher on the bench at least.
  13. 2-0 Gape
  14. Seager misses an absolute sitter! Great approach play though.
  15. 'You know you're feeling old when....' .... Nick Barmby's son comes on for Leicester's U21s
  16. Great goal from Saints just now. Mugabe, Gallagher and Seager linking up really well. 37 minutes gone. Live stream:
  17. Given LESS people voted for the SNP than voted 'Yes'' in the referendum, that must mean that "many" people who voted for separation didn't vote for the SNP in the general election. (37% of the electorate voted for separation compared to 35% of the electorate that voted for the SNP)
  18. trousers

    Djuricic

    He was arguably our best player when he came on. Some nay say that isn't saying much though....
  19. Yup. I've often defended the Lib Dems on here and have a lot of admiration for Nick Clegg. I'm not sure that admiration stretches to voting for the Lib Dems in the future but stranger things gave happened...
  20. Just back from the game. Echo most of what's been said so far. The players simply don't seem up for it. Only Reed put in a decent shift, effort wise. Clyne and Bertrand were both ineffectual. Why don't they overlap down the wings anymore? No runs off the ball from midfield into the attacking 3rd either. You can see the player on the ball urging someone to make a run but it rarely happens, so the ball inevitably goes backwards or sideways. Not sure if the booing of the players who came over to acknowledge the fans after the game was helpful but maybe it'll buck them up for the last few games. Bertrand in particular seemed affected by the boos and seemed to be remonstrating with a few fans. I'm starting to feel a little concerned about next season. We've been in 'something to prove' mode at the start of the last couple of seasons but next season there might be a danger of starting to play in a comfort zone if the recent lacklustre performances are anything to go by. I'm usually an optimist after a defeat but a few doubts starting to enter my thinking now. Maybe another exodus is required to rekindle that 'something to prove' attitude amongst the players. Hopefully the apparent apathy over the last couple of months is temporary.
