  1. We don't actually choose our politicians, that's all done by the parties. We are presented with a very short list and asked to put a cross against one of them.
  2. I used to have some cigarette cards about this which my grandfather must have collected so some of the names and images are very familiar to me. At that time it would only have been 40 years since the events. I have the utmost respect for all those who served in that conflict.
  3. 'Election broadcast'? Is that what we're voting for?
  4. Are you advocating a vote to leave without any intention of actually leaving?
  5. Of course I'll vote because I'm not qualified to decide to abstain.
  6. Me too. The Great British Public are not qualified to take such decisions. We have an overblown elected parliament and we pay them to sort out these sort of things. They shouldn't go running back to mummy every time that they have to make a decision. We didn't have a referendum when we declare war in 1939.
  7. As they say about experts: X is an unknown quantity and a spurt is a drip under pressure.
  8. All very balanced and sensible and sums up my views completely but you have explained them far better than I.
  9. And what about all those from the rest of the world?
  10. Leicester robbed of a win against us? I certainly don't remember that.
  11. Great minds indeed, but I think it's just my fingers that work faster
  12. It's another case of 'what if'. History is full of examples of small missed chances that might have changed everything. Unless you believe in predestination of course
  13. You can't blame the EU if someone is breaking the law.
  14. We don't sign Zlatan. Zlatan signs us.
  15. You can't go selectively picking which decisions to change. That process is intrinsically biased.
  16. That list cannot possibly be the result of unbiased judgements nor can it be comprehensive. They would have had to examine every decision made in every minute of every match. Give up, people. It's only a game.
  17. No, no no! Why on earth would you want a winter break?
  18. Mourinho? Not for £10m plus a year.
  19. Agreed. Maybe it should just be left to you and me
  20. Any new player that joins us takes time for us to develop into an effective contributor and we are not as effective as we could be whilst that process is taking place. You only have to look at the comments from Mané's early days (mine included) to see that he was possibly more of a handicap than a help to begin with. This is why the 'top clubs' (the ones with loadsamoney) tend to buy the finished articles straight out of the shop window, which is what we are.
  21. It was to do with the FA geting some more money to help pay for the rebuilding. I don't like it either. The whole corporate seat business is part of the same plan. There may be more seats in the new stadium but 17.000 of these are not available to us 'ordinary' fans because they need the VIP punters to pay for it. The new stadium does have 2618 toilets though whereas the old one was just one big toilet.
  22. If it said 'Your support from the stands has been brilliant' then I'm not convinved that it was meant for you
