Oh **** you commentaters.

Oh...

Well, 3 out of the next 4 are at home

If we had just bought every player we were rumoured to be buying, then we'd win every game. Mainly because no players would remain for anyone else!!!

What is it with our away form? trololol, lots of time to win!

hah

Oh good, 2 points ahead again!

Inspired analysis if you ask me.

I'm not even that bothered with the top spot. It'll be annoying to lose it, but top 2 will do. Though my girlfriends Dad is a West Ham fan... and the banter has been good up to now

I salute your sacrifice of low blood pressure for the greater good!

Been a trend recently... slower first half with no goals, rip them to pieces in the second half!

We'll break them down eventually. We have the possession, it's just the final third.

And then do a virus scan in safe mode.

They do get sympathy, just only from their friends and family as they aren't very famous footballers who bought joy to millions who watched them. I think perspective is needed.

Mental illnesses should really get the same level as physical illnesses. Depression is an illness just as much as cancer or HIV.

What, so you think Ed Miliband stays in the EU so that 13 of his mates and their offices can get some cash?!?! I don't buy that, sorry.

But, Ed Miliband will have his job regardless of whether we are in the EU or not... so how is it in his personal interest?

Probably, but that wouldn't change attitudes.

Why is it in the personal interests of Ed Miliband, David Cameron and Nick Clegg to remain in Europe?

I disagree. Homophobia is behind Racism by many years. Homophobia is still seen as acceptable by many.

And that is why FPTP is ****. It favours usually 2 parties who when in agreement over an issue such as this can form a cartel... and no other party every has a chance to get a sniff in on the action. For what it is worth though, maybe the policy is just so good that the main parties all support it

But our system is surely set up so they don't have to make these kind of decisions. Supposedly, we elect experts to do it on our behalf and if we don't like their expert decision making, we kick them out after 4 or 5 years(and that's at the centre of Liberal Democracy as set out by J.S Mill and that's how our democracy is constructed - delegate based). That's the theory anyways. Remember, we don't have a rigid constitution in this country, so there's no legal obligation to give referendums or anyone else a say except parliament when any constitutional law changes. Infact, our constitution regularly changes. I'm just saying, if you don't trust the British public to think their way around a carefully worded question, how can you trust them to understand what the implications of their vote will be in a referendum? I support a referendum for what it is worth anyways, just to get the issue over and done with. At the next big change which will be sooner than the government anticipated by the looks of it.

Well, if the British public are too stupid to work their way around the wording of a Referendum question, do you think they can be relied upon to give an answer to such an important question as this? I'm playing devils advocate here.

You are probably right, though opinion polls aren't reliable. Before the AV poll, opinion polls put AV in a lead! But you are as I said, most likely right. But the only way to find out is referendum. I do worry though, that most people won't have educated opinions when answering the question. Obviously there are some educated opinions on both sides, both sides have clever people who actually understand how it works. Most of the UK don't have a clue how the EU works and will instead rely on what the Sun tells them or some politician.

I'm always split over wages like this. On the surface, you can get all angry, but if you want decent people to run organisations like this, you have to pay them the 6 figure sums or you'll have crap managers and one thing you need in an organisation like Cancer Research UK or even the NHS is good managers. He may get 221k a year, but if he is a good manager he'll bring in much more than that extra.
