Thanks, very interesting.

Do you really think they might finish in the top three?

Any players there WCDAJFU?

Well said. I think they'll give a few teams a shock.

Watford are 1 point ahead with an inferior goal difference so Watford draw, Bournemouth win or Watford lose, Bournemouth draw would be enough. I fully expect Watford to be champions but I expect our friends down the road will accept that.

Arsenal? Aston Villa?

How does the tune for that go?

Congratulations Bournemouth. This has been only their fifth ever season at this level. They play some beautiful football and have deserved their chance at the big time. They will certainly be a refreshing change from all the drearydull stuff played at the bottom of the Premier League. Let's hope that they don't get overawed by their visits to the big stadiums but it would be understandable if they couldn't handle a trip to the biggest club of all.

They can start celebrating now. Kermagant missed a penalty but Wilson has just made it 3-0. Goal difference advantage now +19

Nah, if they were intelligent they wouldn't be lefties and certainly wouldn't read the Daily Mail.

Climbing Everest isn't easy but I won't be trying that either.

Bit previous aren't we? The game hasn't finished yet.

2-0 now An even better goal from Matt Ritchie.

Brilliant goal by Pugh. 1-0

I can't say I remember him/her/it.

There really should be a box for 'none of the above'. [video=youtube;bXEglx-or6k]

I read somewhere that Ron was keen on Elia so I guess we shall have to learn to appreciate him.

This is becoming more of a problem with the large increase in population. There are nowhere near enough places in the infant and junior schools to cater for the surge in new arrivals. Tis buge will then, of course, move through to secondary education.

Injured.

Yippee! At last I have found someone with the same beliefs as me I refer everyone to the Global Warming thread.

Very true. Thornden has always had a good rating but a lot of the parents employ private tutors,

Very true. At least he is our diver

Kelvin also took a step to his right and was on the wrong foot just before Lamela elbowed the ball into goal. I sit in central Kingsland and I don't think any of us could quite work out what had happened. I don't think it should have been allowed.

Were you the dark red/maroon top taking shots with a mobile phoen, the one that asked me the score sometime around halftime? If I'd known it was you I'd have come over and had a longer chat. I won't ask you what you thought of the refereeing then, about 10 minutes into the second half my inner thigh muscles were complaining and all I could do was shuffle around the centre circle. Nice to say hello

Thanks for taking the time to expand. It's all a question of where this money comes from. Governments can either raise it in tax or borrow it. If we assume that the tax levels are probably at the point where revenues are maximised, and some say they are beyond that, then we are left with increased borrowing with all that that entails. I disagree with your assertion that you're 'giving rich people more wealth', you're just not stealing quite so much of it from them. You talk about money as though it belongs to the state instead of the individuals. There's nothing wrong with personal saving, it's part of the bedrock of a capitalist society. Of course, over the past few years savers have seen the value of their deposits reduced by interest rates which have been lower than inflation which in my opinion has been due to deliberate government policy to devalue the cost of their borrowings at the expense of the savers. Effectively there has been a huge transfer of monetary worth from the savers to the borrowers. As for helping the poor, don't discount the increase in personal tax allowances. Now let's get the N I thresholds in line with these too.
