That would make sense as the Sunday match seats were reserved for ST holders in all areas and the same ticket is valid for Wednesday.

Smalling to Wasps. Ever so impressed with his tackling.
-
You can add Austin to that list. Good answer.
-
He scored both his goals coming in from the right. He wasn't playing behind Austin.
-
Austin, Rodriguez and Redmond played up front in a 4-3-3.

4-3-3 against Zwolle then switched to this diamond. When I see a manager shoe horning players into formations that neuters most of them against mediocre opposition I question his ability more than the players. Last year we were very effective, we finished the season with a great run but have lost Wanyama and Mane replaced by Redmond and Hojberg. I would have thought unless unfit Rodriguez would have played as much as possible. I question a manager that comes into the Premier for the first time and changes what works in a team that finishes sixth and tries to impose a system rather than seeing how the established way of playing familiar to the players worked. I think he is treading on dangerous ground this isn't the French league. I don't get the diamond being used with mixed teams. These last two games albeit with pickup teams have been poor, the ball meandering around the field and familiar players who we know are better players looking totally lost. If we play this system with one holding midfielder and the full backs pushing up we will get murdered by teams sticking the balls in behind the full backs with runners exposing the centre backs. Bournemouth showed how away last season.
-
The weakness is the space behind the full backs. Unless we learn to cover that from midfield the better teams will murder us.

As happened in Scotland and with the LDs

I'm Conservative not UKIP and if a Conservative government used pro EU parties to push through legislation it would lose them the votes they need in an election. The referendum was a majority vote to leave the EU and that's a fact. Banging on about the economy lost the referendum, because the decisive issues are immigration, sovereignty, and being out of the EU for most of the leave voters. Quite how outraged left voters not voting Conservative is going to put them out of office is beyond me. It seems all right for you to talk for the tens of millions when 17.5 million voted Leave.
-
The Conservative majority is too small to withstand the pressure of Leave supporting MPs refusing to support legislation etc. The loss of a large number of disillusioned Leave voters at a General election would mean a considerable loss of existing Conservative seats to other parties. The biggest beneficiary would be UKIP who could also benefit from a Labour vote switching in the North of England. The UK will split from the EU, there will be trade but the other EU conditions will be vetoed by the Conservative Leavers.
-
I voted Conservative. The Conservative majority grass roots is Eurosceptic or more to the point don't want the EU at any price. The Politicians got it wrong over the referendum and many lost their jobs including the PM, make the same mistake again and ignoring the grassroots Conservative vote will lead to a mass defection to UKIP to really get out. Liberal and Labour voters don't get the ill feeling that there is amongst Conservatives towards the politicians and the EU. The Express, Sun and Mail will reinforce that feeling if there is any left wing attempt to subvert the referendum decision.
-
What the politicians don't get yet is that most of the people who voted out, voted out of the EU not a cobbled up arrangement. If Theresa May doesn't want to be leader of the opposition she'd better get that sooner rather than later. We can trade at whatever terms are negotiated but the rest is a red line. Out means out. The Leave voters are watching carefully and any attempt at a fudge will end in tears for the Conservatives. A majority of Conservatives voted to leave and will desert them.
-
Probably the best result, a clean break, out two years after A50 with no fudged agreements. I'd take that any day of the week.
-
The imports and exports are for goods. This argument is about £100b annual deficit on goods that support manufacturing jobs in the EU used as leverage, especially in Germany.
-
2015 EU / UK deficit £68b. Jan ,Feb and March 2016 £23.9b, April approx. £16b (from HMRC graph ), May £12.7 that makes a deficit on goods of over £52b in the first five months of this year (HMRC). By my reckoning a £100b deficit is reasonable. Additionally exports are decreasing and imports are increasing year on year with the EU so the deficit is increasing. We export about 45% to the EU decreasing but run a surplus with the rest of the world with the remaining 55%. Our trade outside the EU should increase as we make trade agreements outside the EU and especially if the EU fail to agree a deal that includes restricted access to EU citizens.
-
You didn't and lost. We did and the sooner the better. In the end we will get a good deal or the Conservative leavers will see this government off. If you lefties were Conservative voters you might have a bit of influence but being Liberal and Labour voters leaves you neutered.
-
£100b annual surplus published by the national statistics department in June.
-
No free movement, Trade will happen. We don't want to be part of the single market, that's what we voted to get out of. How the EU especially Germany decides to trade their £100b surplus with the UK is their problem. Tariffs are a two way street. Fishing grounds will be another problem for the EU. I'd just as soon see us run out of time and just be out.

I think the U21 format has changed this year to U23.

Thumb in the dyke stuff from the Remoaners, If the Government activate Article 50 it's activated. When they decide is up to them as we don't have a constitution. Repealing the 1972 Act would need a vote. An October date has been set but the Judge only indicated displeasure if Article 50 was activated before then and that it would probably have to be up to the Supreme Court to rule on the claim. The Government has said that it wants to get it's negotiating position set before activating. there is only five month in this year so the beginning of 2017 sounds sensible. Another case of clutching at straws and chucking money at lawyers. I'm really pleased the IMF has pronounced again, with their record of forecasting being on a par with Cameron and Osborne we are probably set fair for a while.
-
In the say 30 year life of Trident unless the law changes we will flush well over £500 billion into foreign aid. Cheap at the price looking at that. Maybe we should spend that at home and on the military.
-
By the time that comes, we will be out. At the moment it looks like a split up for Labour. What Conservative would vote for that rabble or the LDs. UKIP could well be the beneficiary of the Leave Labour voters and end up with many seats in the North of England and would support the Conservatives in killing any re-entry move. Once we are out we won't be going back. By 2020 we will have settled down to life outside the EU.
-
Go for it Boys and Girls. Split the vote, that'll work.
-
Conservative Remain voters will vote Conservative or not bother. Leavers will vote Conservative as long as we leave in accordance with their wishes or switch to UKIP if The government doesn't deliver. The left wing vote is pretty irrelevant to the Conservatives as it's divided amongst one rabble or another. UKIP is the only danger on the horizon for the Conservative vote. With FPTP it could cause all sorts of problems if it hoovers up spiteful Leave voters and win a lot of seats in England. Why the Conservatives are going to come out.
