Talking of the NHS, here's a cage rattler.... http://www.bruceonpolitics.com/2014/11/27/nhs-safe-conservatives/

A few more details on the reason for his departure from Palma: http://www.espnfc.com/story/2267013/antonio-cassano-could-retire-from-football-summer-after-parma-exit-contract

I can see us getting gazumped if we leave it until the summer. Put a cheeky 'too good to refuse' offer in this week I say

On that we can agree

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/11370935/David-Cameron-A-Labour-SNP-coalition-would-be-genuinely-frightening.html Yes, I know I fall into the "well, you would agree with Cameron, wouldn't you?" camp, but what he says here is spot on IMO. Wouldn't it be bordering on 'unconstitutional' for a party to have a share of power in a country (the UK) that they ultimately want to see destroyed? Surely, a party (or parties) have to run the country in the interests of the country as a whole rather than in the interests of just part of it? Yes, I know the counter argument from the separatists will be "well, that happens already as the UK isn't run in the interests of Scotland" but a party who wants to break up the very country they may end up running (as part of a coalition) seems like a distortion of democracy to me. It would be a bit like having an ardent Pompey fan on the board of Southampton Football Club.... #probable bad analogy glaxon #

Armsh?

Are those Vulcan ears?

I see where you're coming from but still disagree. Where is the logic in 'politician A' appearing on a television programme, the primary aim of which is to appeal to the audience to vote for their party, when c.90% of said audience can't do so? Given the SNP are a 'regional' party then they should appear on regional television so they can appeal to the majority of the viewers. Would Sturgeon pitching up at a hustings event in a village hall in Stratton-on-the-Fosse be any less logical? (ok, it would be slightly less logical as it's likely that 100% of the audience wouldn't be able to vote for the SNP rather than 90% of the TV audience....unless, of course, Stratton-on-the-Fosse is a tourist magnet for Scottish separatists at this time of year.) IMHO of course. p.s. the National Front fielded candidates in 17 seats at the 2010 General Election. The BNP would qualify at the 50% cut off though.....on second thoughts, maybe it should be a 75% threshold...!

When asked this question on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday, Sturgeon said it would be her because its a "party leaders" debate. (Or maybe I'm confusing her with that bonkers Green lady....easily done...) But, yes, agree, it would be even more illogical for someone who won't actually be a 'Westminster' politician taking part in 'Westminster' parliamentary debates.

Agree with that proposal. I don't see the logic in the likes of Sturgeon standing up on UK-wide TV saying to the audience "hey, vote for my party" when c.90% of the audience won't be able to do so. If a party has a candidate in more han 50% of seats across the UK then they should have a place on any TV debate show. I can't see a more logical solution than that.

Yep, this.

Or McQueen and Seager who combined again for the second goal

Yep, we did indeed "put out the reserves" against Sunderland in the FA Cup... 1 Davis 2 Clyne 23 Shaw 12 Wanyama 3 Yoshida 26 Hooiveld 16 Ward-Prowse (substituted for Schneiderlin at 62 minutes') 8 Davis 7 Lambert 20 Lallana (substituted for McQueen at 82 minutes') 21 Do Prado (substituted for Rodriguez at 62 minutes) #pompeymythology

So, Pompey are about to sack their most successful manager in over 5 years...? Marvellous.

People used to say that about the Lib Dems not too many years ago...

For anyone who missed it.... [video=youtube_share;5dFn8RIXOBE]http://youtu.be/5dFn8RIXOBE

Malta

The only reason they still exist is because Sky's parachute money kept them afloat over the last 5 years. # Pompey fan selective memory klaxon #

Whatever Burnley have said previously, there is always a price that they would sell at. Hull City didn't want to sell Shane Long but "received an offer they couldn't refuse". Not saying it'll happen, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.
