Yep. QPR deserved at least a point from the game today.

Just watching QPR vs Spurs on MotD. Is there a luckier team in the league than Spurs? QPR were by far the better side, especially in the first half, if the highlights are anything to go by. Kane took his goals very well though

I see Agent Connolly has retired. We salute you sir.

I'm not surprised. The thought of Miliband getting the keys to No.10 is frightening

Maybe. Maybe not. We'll find out on May 7th

Now, here's an interesting idea... http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/6821684?1425720663

It depends how you look at it... Leader of opposition:"debates are good". Prime minister: "debates are nor so good" If Cameron had flipped his opinion whilst still in the same roll then, yes, that's a u-turn. I don't see conforming to the typical response depending on what position you hold a uturn per we, if anything he's being consistent with his predecessors....

Cameron is doing what his strategists believe is in his best interests. Miliband's is doing what his strategists believe is in his best interests. So, given they're both acting in self interest, why is all the flack aimed at Cameron and none at Miliband? Unless there are some naive people out there who believe that Miliband wants the debates to go ahead because he's acting in the public interest rather than his own....

Only another 6 months to go before the summer transfer window closes. It's gonna be another long one....

Climate change causes terrorism.... [video=youtube;Zrr5BvrAo-Y] I wish he'd get a move on and organise this bloomin' revolution of his

It's not that he's "scared" of debating with Ed Miliband, per se, he's "scared" of the inevitable effect that these superficial debates have on the relative popularity of 'incumbent' vs 'opposition'. They summed it up quite nicely on the Daily Politics show today: because Miliband's popularity rating is significantly less than Cameron's (not talking about the party ratings here, but the leader ratings) the levels of public expectation for Miliband performing well are much lower than they are for Cameron. As such, an 'average' performance for Miliband would actually be a ratings boost for him because people would expect him to be worse than Cameron, in terms of his oratory skills, whereas an 'average' performance by Cameron would be neutral or even negative in terms of his rating because he's starting from a higher position. So, because Cameron's is rated as a substantially better orator than Miliband, Cameron would have to outperform Miliband by several factors to come out of the debate with less impact to his popularity rating than Miliband would have to. So, he's not "scared" of the debate as such, he simply knows that Miliband's low starting point in the ratings will actually work in Miliband's favour when it comes to the public judging their respective performances. It's a bit like Southampton getting more plaudits than, say, Man City this season....not because we're better than them but because we've exceeded expectations whereas City haven't. (although I'm sure there are plenty of holes in that analogy!) Any PM would do the same as Cameron is doing regardless of which party they came from. That's politics. p.s. FWIW, I was against the TV debates last time around so this isn't just me waving the Tory flag (for once )

I can't think why they took that photograph from waist height looking up. Surely it was a great opportunity to show off their super dooper fan funded training facilities to the world at large....

As long as there's someone on here to keep pointing out the bleedin' obvious I'll carry on doing it. Wouldn't want to see the forum whataboutery police made redundant given the valuable public service they provide
