Oh purrrlease. We can't score a proper goal because we can't finish simple chances or even get enough shots on target so we end up moaning that an unbiased referee doesn't award us an iffy penalty decision because he really wants Leicester to win the title? We just weren't good enough and didn't want it as much as the other team. We should sort that out before we start clutching at straws in the wind.

Nah, far too close to give that.

For those of us on the other side of the world with poor Internet connections can I please ask that somebody put the score in the topic title? Please, pretty please

Nothing beats a settled team.

Don't misquote me when it isn't true.

Er... no. How do employment tribunals help the government? There were too many people making vexatious claims.

That is my great fear. It's often the case that once a team is down they start to play with more confidence. Let's hope for a nervous drawn-out death

Well that settles it. Three points it is then

The position of our economy depends a lot on the exchange rate. As far as 'foreign' footballers are concerned they come here because the money is so good. I don't know how that might change if the value of the £ plummeted. I suspect that the riches of the Premier League would still temp them mightily.

There was some talk on Radio 4 yesterday about subsidies which is why I raised the issue. We're getting a bit off topic here but it does seem ironic at a time when many want us to leave the EU because they say that we are governed from Brussels yet CMD is apparently responsible for such a low tariff on Chinese steel. The other issue is that one reason that steel production here is so expensive is because of the high energy costs due to the Climate Change Levy yet the Chinese can burn all the coal that they want in order to dump all their cheap steel on us. A lack of major construction projects is also another reason for the low demand for steel in Britain.

The problem is where do you stop. There have been plenty of small manufacturing businesses go under over the last couple of decades but nobody was calling for them to get government subsidies. I might agree that steel manufacturing is of national importance but to what extent should fellow citizens support an industry that's losing a million pounds a day?

You can see Branfoot turn and say 'Moods, sit down'. He was about to substitute Matt with Paul Moody and even had the number 7 card (remember them?) ready. Just think; we might have been deprived of those two great goals.

I didn't say that 'not much is changing' I was referring to another post so I was not contradicting myself. Please keep,up

If nothing much will change then why bother with all the upheaval?

I shall be in the middle of the South Atlantic. How do I log in and get 'my' seats?

He'd not been well for some time. Great memories, thanks for all the good times.

We pool our sovereignty, we haven't given it away.

Me too.

What sparked this off?

Maybe not. It could just be that the money was too tempting.

You might get the privilege of sitting next to me

I haven't received one. Would that be because they think I'm a lost cause?

I'm not too bothered about the free beer and hot dogs, to be honest.

No chance, I still call it The Milk Cup.
