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.

I feel this way too. We have two in the central Kingsland and we don't even get the age concession. I got to 60 and they gave it to me for one year, then they raised the age to 65 and moved the qualifying date from July to August so I missed another year and then removed it altogether.

Ouch. Disappointed for him personally but an opportunity opens for others.

Good point. I suppose I shouldn't be pleased but we had Fraser's injury to contend with.

Agreed.

Good luck Camberwell, I'm sure everybody wants you to win it. Just watch out for next season when Leicester and Southampton fight it out for the title
