What an utterly fantastic comeback. Am very positive now! Always like Barnard

He hadn't done a lot until today but has made a big impact this afternoon clearly. Brilliant.

Maybe not then! Hehe.

This is why I love football

Failure this season if so.

Embarrassing. Another example of us playing poorly and losing. Very very disappointing.

No point really. You get the same people insisting that Adkins is better whilst shouting down those who dare to suggest that Pardew was a lot better

If the result stays like this then it's just another example of our inconsistency. We will be in a poor position and Huddersfield will be favourites for second.

Wish I had the money. If only it was in June.

Cant stand dogs so really not fussed.

Brighton have in many ways been worse than Bournemouth. I would prefer the cherries to do well over Brighton.

ANd yet Barcelona identified him as a key player this year and were wary of him. I think you are talking rubbish and people here underrate him massively.

sounds like matthew le god

This. He is not as good as Walcott at the moment but could potentially be better in the future.

If we were in reduced financial circumstances then the academy would be the last thing we would cut. Sell chamberlain and the academy has paid for itself for years. It is rubbish.

Personally I think Rooney is overrated. Yes he does have ability but he isn't as good as he thinks he is. And ability alone should not mean that a player gets an automatic selection into the team.

I despise Rooney. I grudgingly accept Ashley cole because no matter what I think of him as a person, his form for England has been consistently world class. Rooney rarely performs and the final straw for me was when he spoke to the camera after he got booed for performing terribly. Wilshire seems to be the new media darling but I would hope that if he starts playing poorly that he will be dropped as well. The reason we have done terribly in the last few years is because players know they can play badly safe in the knowledge that they will never be dropped because the media would never allow it.

This just proves how idiotic it is to continue playing the same old under-performing players. F*ck off gerrard and Rooney.

What an odd comment. What exactly do you expect?

Of course but regardless, many in the country will judge him on his lisp.

In fairness to dune, he didn't describe all people on benefits as slobs.

You get what I am saying though. Any sort of speech impediment will affect how he says things and impact negatively on many voters.

A lisp though is a potential barrier to success at elections, I would argue far more than a receding hairline (it shouldn't be but the British public are shallow). Do you have anything else to say with regards to the rest of my points written in bold under yours? Only if you have the time of course (wow even I am surprising myself by how sedate I am this evening.)

The degree system and the sense of entitlement that todays young people have p*sses me off. I went to university because everyone else did and it seemed like the thing to do but did I really NEED to go? No not at all. Now doctors, lawyers people like that are the ones who NEED university, they should be the ones who go for free. University should be for the brightest and best, not to be used as an excuse to go and get p*ssed up for three years and do some noddy course like surfboard science. The system should be that places are restricted with only the very best qualifying for a course. Noddy courses should cost a lot and if you want to do it then you should pay to do it whilst those courses most valuable for the country should be free with people encouraged into these professions. I went because I was bright enough but also just because I could but under the system I proposed, people like me wouldn't go to university. It should the minority who go on to higher education not for everyone who fancies it. I strongly believe that.

That is quite alright. The difference between this debate and the normal political discussion you have though is that it seems you are just outlining your concerns rather than taking pot shots at something ridiculous like Cameron's hairline or digging out some awful anti- Tory article and so you deserve a sensible reply. When the next election comes around, I shall look at the key policies of both parties (not Lib Dem they are a joke party.) and decide who to vote for myself and it could very well be Labour (pretty sure it won't be but I have voted for them before.)
