The issue is the leader being anti Semitic or appearing to tolerate it. If May had called some racists friends, had she joined anti black Facebook pages, if she had friends that were racist, had she defended a racist picture, had she been called the racists poster girl, by John Major or Nigel Lawson. What if her own mps marched in a protest against racism in the Tory party. What if May set up an enquiry into racism in the Tory party, then ennobled the head of that enquiry straight after the party was exonerated , before then admitting that there were pockets of racism in the party. If May did all that, would you accept as a defence of her, that all parties had racists in them. I doubt you would. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Margaret Hodge, no doubt a red Tory, calls Corbyn “The poster boy for anti semites”. Implies that the Chakrabarti report was a whitewash, still she won’t care it got her a tittle. What’s looking the other way, compared to being called Baroness Chakrabarti. That’s going to impress her sons mates at his posh private school. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hard one. Having been lucky enough to see both personally I'd put it like this. Le Tiss had better performances ( in that, if you picked the top 20 individual performances you'd seen in a Saints shirt, he'd have more in that top 20 than Mick) but Mick had more better performances, if that makes sense. I guess it's like comparing the Beatles to The Stones. The Stones had a dozen fantastic songs, whereas the Beatles had a body of work that overall was far better. Mick's underrated in football folklore if you ask me, he was a quality player. But Le Tiss gave me the greatest wow moments I've ever seen ( apart from 1/5/76) and will ever see. To this day I still can't believe that last day at the Dell, talk about writing your own headlines. I can't separate them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great topic. Here's my list of each sides best player since I've been watching football . Only really struggled with Burnley and picking one for Saints. Arsenal = Berkamp Bournemouth = Ted Mcdougal Brighton = Mark Lawrenson Burnley = Robbie Blake Chelsea = John Terry Crystal Palace = Ian Wright Everton = Bally Huddersfield = Frank Worthington Leicester City = Gary Lineker Liverpool = Kenny D Manchester City = Colin Bell Manchester United = Bestie Newcastle United = Super Mac Southampton = Mick C or Le Tiss Stoke = Gordon Banks Swansea = Gylfi Sigurdsson Tottenham = Glen Hoddle Watford = John Barnes West Brom = Bryan Robson West Ham = Bobby Moore Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Of course, the Jewish community are in cohorts with the Tories. Jewish Labour MP saying on news night that Corbyn won’t recognise anti semitism on the left. Since he became leader anti Semites in the party feel safe and anti semites are joining the party because they feel it represents their views. I suppose she’s a red Tory Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Corbyn wasn't always a defender of free speech when it came to public art. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4700482.stm Seems that he marched to stop Mo being drawn, but was in favour of anti Semitic art ( until he got found out), on the basis of free speech. His defence always seems to be "I'm a ****ing idiot", didn't realise the FB group he joined was anti Semitic, didn't know his friend who set up the group was, didn't notice this picture. Who is he,?Chauncey Corbyn, a hapless gardener tending McDonnell's roses who gets mistaken for a political genius. He sacks Owen Smith for calling for a second referendum, but leaves his ex squeeze Abbott in post ( despite calling for same thing). He's a clueless buffoon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perhaps we should get a “crossing from the right” coach. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I had a few beverages with the unit manager of a very large B&Q last night and this came up in discussion about wages. According to him they have 3 levels of staff. Management, experts & ordinary staff. Management negotiate their own salary with him but within certain bandings , experts are ex plumbers etc and they’re paid according to qualifications & again it’s open to negotiation. Ordinary staff are paid exactly the same hourly rate, regardless of whether you’re warehouse or check outs. He reckons the issue isn’t with in store warehouse staff, but with their distribution warehouses. Staff there are predominantly male and paid more than the instore staff. This is because historically these staff are unionised, many tupied over when they expanded and took over the distribution centres from other retailers and there’d be mayhem in numerous stores if these warehouses didn’t have an engaged workforce. They’re also more skilled, driving fork lifts and the like. Interestingly he reckons his female managers are better leaders, better “man managers”, but hopeless at the brinksmanship required when negotiating salaries. My Mrs asked why he didn’t reward the better managers, he just laughed and basically said, why should he when he didn’t need to & it’s up to them to push for more money. I know it’s just a snap shot, but it does show that there’s various issue that cause a pay gap, but not specifically because of your gender. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Penalty taking coach, wtf is that. Shall we have a throw in coach, or a goal kick coach. Is there another club in the country with a penalty taking coach? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s very simple for me. Do these retailers pay men who work on the tills (and they do, I was served by a bloke in Tesco today) more then they pay women on the till. Do they pay women working in the warehouse less then men that work in the warehouse. I’m pretty sure the answer in both cases is no. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’d be more concerned if this was midweek before the Boscombe game. Could the Swansea game be that week? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What because Jenkins thinks so, must be true then. An opinion piece by a rabid remainer thats all it is. There is absolutely zero chance of any government of this country accepting free movement. Having twice voted to stay out of the EU, there’s a lot to admire about the Norwegians, but any deal that continues with free movement is dead in the water. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I thought I'm going nuts. I've seen 3 or 4 posts asking for seating plan, and it's there. Perhaps they left it off the original announcement and added it later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unless I'm missing something, there's a seating plan at the bottom of the announcement, after the ticket dates and before the coach travel details. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went to Israel as a teenager back in the 70’s it was a fantastic place. Did all the Bethlehem & Jerusalem stuff, but the highlight for me was a resort on the Sea of Galilee. I keep trying to take the snap dragon there, but she’s a bottle job and won’t go. Personally, I love the Greek islands, the people are fantastic, weather great in spring & summer, and there’s some beautiful beaches and little coves. Kos being my favourite. South Florida is also a personal favourite, and the west coast of FLA, Tampa/ St Pete is beautiful . Cities, Dublin Miami & Montpellier stand out. For the crack it’s Playa del Inglés / Maspalomas, its like 18-30’s holiday for 50 year olds. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Probably the most sensible criteria we’ve ever used, they only needed to count away games for members and it would have been perfect. Counting games that fall out of ST remit is clearly fairest as is prioritising memberships bought pre Wigan over post Wigan. My eldest son had a mad scramble for EFL & Milan tickets with members signed up just to get tickets for those games despite having bought his membership pre season. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It really is a bit of a joke how ****ing long they’re taking to decide or announce it. It’s only 2 games, one is clearly first choice. What’s so complicated about it? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agreed. I’ve wanted out since Maastricht, another 21 months isn’t going to matter. I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter now, because DD has been to the mountaintop. And looked over. And he’s seen the Promised Land and we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land on 31/12/2020 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I thought anyone could define themselves as a bloke or a chick without surgery nowadays. If Martina believes that Mac is paid more because he's a bloke, why doesn't she just define as a male ( she's halfway there anyway), and she'll automatically get a pay rise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We need numbers in the central midfield area, whether that’s a 3-5-2 or 4-2-3-1 or even a diamond with the full backs pushed on, we’ll get passed to death if we don’t. The only way a traditional( or as it’s become known, a Merrington) 4-4-2 can work is if you sit in with 2 banks of 4 & one of the strikers drops in. Basically Leicester when they won the league. I don’t think we’ve got the players to play that way. No Vardy, although long could probably do an Okazaki defensively, isn’t going to pop up with valuable goals. For all their talent Boufal & Tadic aren’t going to knock great passes like Mahrez. We’d end up just sitting so deep, with no out ball. The key to scoring goals in any system is getting enough blokes forward, something we’ve failed miserably to do since Ron left. How many times the past 2 seasons has there been one or two players only busting a gut to get into the box? Tadic, Davis, Boufal, Redmond , JWP all like to drift around outside of it, picking up the pieces and recycling the ball. They don’t gamble, don’t get beyond the striker and don’t show any desire to get on the end of things. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If it’s no big deal, why did The FA go to wales when Wembley was being rebuilt. They could have used OT Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
