If it's the only way to get us and other countries out of this ridiculous project then it's worth it. Yes it may be bad for a while but rather that than some sort of European superstate. Short terrm pain for long term gain. I want my ancestors to live in a sovereign Britain and this may be the only thing that achieves that.

Sadly not.

Overall we have been brilliant. Our recent form however is a little concerning if we are looking to get promotion. Why some people have a problem on here with stating the obvious I have no idea.

FFS why is there yet ANOTHER minutes applause for Gary Speed? It's getting a bit ridiculous now IMO.

Even the skates on pompeyonline have been moaning that their atmosphere has been rubbish for the last few years. Fairweather fans.

I love how skates use the cheering Henry thing as a badge of honour. If my team did that I would consider them smalltime and be embarrassed.

Or chaplow?

lol funny.

Self interest. It is in the interest of his party and the meps who represent his party in Europe. When I say self interest I do not mean his individual self, I mean the interest of his party.

Self interest. It's in the interests of the politicians to remain in their cushy jobs, racking up obscene expenses claims, jetting round Europe. That's not just this country, it's the majority of European countries (the French prime minister and his ridiculous wastage when allowed to for example).

It's self interest that means they vote for it and no other reason.

But if no credible party has partial withdrawal as a policy then essentially there is no one to vote for. I'm not voting for a single policy party to run the whole country so in reality there is no one. By having it this way, the mainstream parties can largely do what they want over Europe because they all largely agree on the issue. I presume you agree with me about the importance of the wording. In my opinion it should be common market but withdraw from other ties, total withdrawal or more inclusion. It won't be that but that is what it should be.

That shouldn't be the issue. The question should be very clear with options given. Personally I want to stay in the common market but to stop any other integration but a referendum will not give me that option so I will be forced to vote for complete withdrawal which I do not want but it's the least bad option. Many people are stupid but that doesn't mean we should do away with their democratic rights. Whether they vote correctly or not is not the issue.

We won't get a referendum though. The question would be cleverly worded or about some other issue which will be used as an excuse if it is passed for politicians to do what they like.

No I'm not but polls continually show that we don't have any desire to hand over more power to brussels. We won't get a referendum because it isn't in the interests of the politicians to have one. If we ever did get to vote on something it would be an extreme example such as sever all ties or something. I am quite happy with a common market as that is what we agreed to. Any agreement not to pull us out completely will be taken advantage of by politicians to push for even greater integration. Any agreements with Europe should not come at the expense of our sovereignty or our ability to govern ourselves. It's quite simple really and I believe that that is what the vast majority want.

It was inevitable and someone who values their democracy and sovereignty will be rightly horrified. I will do everything in my power to prevent this. It is not what Britain wants and I will campaign as much as I can.

That should be ticket by the way.

Does anyone know an alternative to the 0845 number? My mobile doesn't let me phone those.

It is demonstrating the team spirit, helping the players connect with the fans and each other and it appears that they are continuing with jokes from offline online which SEEMS to be helping the team spirit. Why respond in such an aggressive manner?

Twitter has really helped with team spirit among the players. Used in the right way, it can really be an asset helping the fans connect with the players and vice versa too.

And what a credit to him. He came in with some terrible comments from Celtic but has more than proven his worth.

Dellhurst? Are you a saints fan?

Are there that many people who have been to four or more aways and aren't season ticket holders?

Yep. Also surely if you were looking for trouble you would just get the train down?

Nice to see the majority agreeing here. Shurlock I think you make a good point, Barnard impressed me last year and had a decent scoring record. I think that given a run in the side or off the bench he will regain that sort of form. It can only be beneficial for us!
