None of it rang true to me so I'm not surprised.

Anybody good please, somebody with a bit of status and who can get us playing attractive attacking football, something to get me out of my seat.

The low sulphur fuel directive for shipping doesn't apply to cruise ships leaving Liverpool so they can be more pollutive than ours. http://www.imo.org/en/MediaCentre/PressBriefings/Pages/44-ECA-sulphur.aspx#.V1h2YJB4WK0

Earlier today I drove past the old HMS Daedalus at Lee-on-Solent. Many of us will remember the annual air days there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNAS_Lee-on-Solent_(HMS_Daedalus) I too shall be cheering for NI and all the other home nations. It would be something to have two more f us in the final

Own goal?

I got bored with it all a couple of months ago. To my mind the whole shebang just hasn't been thought through. For example, what exactly are we voting for? Voting to remain is obvious but the other option is undefined. What is the legality of it? Is it just a sampling of public opinion or is the result binding on the government. Normally for constitutional decisions you would need a 2/3 majority. I can see another referendum before too long.

There is nothing positive in there that I can see..

It's quite common to have a clause in a contract (restrictive covenant) saying that you can't go off and work for a competitor for a limited period. How easy it is to enfoce them is open to question.

That's fair enough. Of course we're not talking about used cars here, these are footballers who may not exactly have minds of their own but whose heads can be easily turned or even transported off to another city entirely.

He takes a long while to get to the point but when he does he is merely re-iterating the same ill-founded arguments that we have come to here so often. I find this part very important: "That negotiation will no doubt be difficult, drawn-out and detailed, as all the UK’s negotiations with our EU partners have been. But self-interest on both sides, to say nothing of the underlying value placed by all sides on European cooperation, will certainly produce an outcome that all parties can accept and endorse." So there would be a lot of pain and indecision and we will end up with a situation far less beneficial than what we have now. What on earth is the point of that?

Many of those that aren't in that 6% trade with those that are. The figures can be compatible, you are confusing quantity of businesses with total amount of business. Don't forget that 80% of the British domestic economy is service-based. That means selling people cups of coffee whilst you cut their hair.

That would only work if the values in the release clauses were lower than our valuations of the players. Normally the longer the contract the higher the value.

Unless their first name is Ronald and second name Koeman.

The thing about history is that it's all in the past. Over. Done. Dead. Gone.

I would add his choice of Everton as one more example of his weird decisions.

That's one more team that I want us to finish above. Once there are 19 of them we shall be champions

As a manager he was sh!t. He wasn't my first choice.

Fixed it for you

Not in the same way that Everton is a suburb of Liverpool.

We make all our own laws but the UK goldplates those that originate from the EU. If we left the EU we would have to unmake them all again.

Your lungs, your choice, go ahead. You'll still look a tosser though

On holiday? Yes- he has.

Nothing weird about it. I'm looking forward to some real attacking football. I suppose it must be a bit like the Man U fans now that they've got rid of LVG. Oh hang on, they've appointed Mourinho.

Bournemouth play good football. Better than I've seen at SMS.

That he's leaving the club? - Yes, cetainly, bridges all burnt and all that. That he's joing Everton? - Ooh, I'm not so sure
