He's a cock and the main board is better to read without both of them spamming the f**k out of every thread.

I sincerely hope that it works out for you and you renew your ST.

TBF I have no sympathy at all for Cardiff. The amount of red on display at their home games suggest that many of their fans really don't give a sh*te so why should we? That said they should be in blue.

They are doing a very good job of making sure their mates, who bankroll them, are getting lovely great big fat NHS contracts. Love the way they also take £400m from the primary schools budget for extra places to fill the £400m ideological black hole in Gove's Free School policy. Brilliant that is. Also love the way that they make every young person go to college/training id they haven't got a job and then slash the budgets so much they teachers are getting laid off. Another genius idea.

Yes, you're being silly. I'm a leftie. Always will be but I vote Green at the moment having previously been a dyed in the wool Labour supporter. I would never, ever, vote Lib or Con. I would suggest people with a political interest/leaning can move between parties on the same wing but not across wings whereas a person with no political interest/leaning would think nothing of moving across wings.

I don't think many are Pro-EU. Pro-Europe yes, but not Pro-EU in terms of the monolithic behemoth it's become.

I disagree to to a certain degree. I do accept that if you are a Euro-sceptic then voting UKIP makes perfect sense and I've no issue with that, however, it's wrong to suggest that plenty aren't flocking to the banner simply because of their views on immigration as people clearly are. Up here, people I know are quite open that they are voting UKIP for one reason and one reason only, immigration. Not immigration from the EU, just immigration in general. There is certainly and element of the English character that dislikes and mistrust Johnny Foreigner and UKIP have managed to tap into it and (some) people seem to think it's legitimised their racist views. UKIP will do very well in the Euro Election but when it really matters, come May 2015, they will walk away with nothing. Still the florid cheeked Peoples Army will have a great night out next Thursday.

Think that's a good bet myself.

Bless your little Tea Party socks. You try so hard to be insulting and you're so poor at it. Still cracking one off about gay sex in prisons as you're bound to mention it again?

And that stops players and mangers leaving for the glamour clubs does it?

I don't think any other club can really break into the upper ranks bar, perhaps, Newcastle & Villa. Our only real hope of glory is the cups. Money has, alas, destroyed competition at the top of the league.

No, I'm not over simplifying it as it's very simple to begin with. If the manager or players choose to leave for some of the biggest clubs in world football it in no way at all shows a lack of ambition from the board. We simply cannot compete with the glamour, kudos, money and potential of them and only a fool thinks we can or tries to compete. The rest of your post is simply your opinion on how players feel which you know no better than I.

So if the manager leaves to go to a much bigger, more glamorous club than ours DESPITE being offered a contact we can afford then our board lacks ambition? If players leave to play for some of the biggest clubs in the world then it's the boards fault? Thank f**k none of you are in charge.

Oh dear, are you sad that we're no longer spunking money we can't afford on a target that was utterly unreachable? Bless. If only Cortese was here to save us.

'Kin hell. That's up there in the pathetic stakes with St Tony's "this is the worst day ever" post yesterday. Grow a pair.

I've no doubt it happens but my experience, and I can only judge by my own experience, is that most are very sound. My next door neighbours are Slovak and at the back of us they are Poles. Their kids were all born here and they are all settled, in good jobs, consider England home and nicer people you'd struggle to meet. We get a lot of seasonal workers, mainly young males, but they seem to all live together in rented houses but cause no issues. The indigenous thick white scum are far more if a problem.

The brightest and the best still come from all over the world and will continue to do so. The biggest drain, immigrant wise, on our economy comes from the unskilled newcomers from Africa & Asia, not Europe. 8 years working in some of the poorest wards in The Black Country has convinced me of that.

The EU policy on freedom of movement is perfectly coherent, you simply don't like it.

Yep :-)

3 players and 3 academy lads. Not bad. Not bad at ball.

Perhaps it's lined up for after the WC squad is announced so the players have the limelight for a while.

I have no issues with the system. We can go and live, work & study there and they can come and live, work & study here. I fully intend to take advantage of it when I retire and my son is already thinking about going to uni in Holland.

Personally I'm happy with inter-EU migration for work as it works both ways. The Poles, Slovaks, Lats etc that I know & work with are all decent hardworking people trying to make a better life for their kids. Hard to begrudge them that.

Especially for families.
