My comment was attempting to highlight that some people seem to think that making "4 or 5 changes" is a negative thing to do in principle. What you've highlight is correct: People will always say: "Changes were a good thing" if we win, but "changes were bad thing" if we lose, regardless of the fact that we could make zero changes and the could be exactly the same (not that we'd ever know). To me, we should judge changes on their merit before the game, not on whether we happened to win or lose, as we'll never know whether it was the changes that caused us to lose. In other words, we could make 4 - 5 changes and lose 1-0 or make no changes and lose 2-0. That said, I do appreciate I'm in danger of talking nonsense by thinking out loud on this subject matter

We made 5 changes to the starting line up in the last round vs Arsenal and no-one seemed to mind....

Would it have been equally "frustrating" if the Tories had been in power and subsequently blamed for it?

Yep, likewise

Spurs fan slagging off Pochettino big time on 5Live right now

1-1 Van Persie Title still within our grasp

We're never gonna win this flippin' league if Chelsea keep this up

With every poor Spurs performance I get more and more annoyed that they beat us

Spurs 1 Newcastle 2

Newcastle equalise within seconds of restart. Now that's a shame. (Chortle)

Yep, this line up for me too

This has got 0-0 written all over it

I could have sworn I saw Gallagher in the training video before the Sunderland game. Oh well, that's another marble slipped out of my bag then

Ultimately, life is pretty pointless

If it's so blatantly obvious that Cameron would have known about this 'bombshell' (and I've no reason to disbelieve either side of the story, yet) then it would appear that Cameron has lost the plot by raging about it as he would surely be made to look a buffoon if it's going to be so easy to prove that he knew all along when this was coming and how much was coming. (apologies, just read that sentence back and its a bit withering but can't be arsed to refine it!)

I'm no expert on EU rules (strangely enough), and I'm fully aware that Cameron will be milking this as much as he can, but he's saying that this £1.7bn demand is outside of the realms of the usual budget "adjustments" that happen every year. He's saying that this "bill" hasn't come about as part of the standard EU budget process. Now, I've no idea whether to believe that or not but I'll keep an open mind until someone proves him wrong and that this is indeed "business as usual". Call me old fashioned and/or naive....
