  1. It's clever to be democratic & enact the will of the people. The "consequences" were made very clear during the referendum by the Remain side, and the people still voted out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. What are you going on about? Under Koeman we were the 6th best team in England. Last season we were the 8th best team. Therefore we went backwards under Puel than we did under Koeman. If we finish lower than 8th best next season, he'd have done worse than Puel. 7th above will be better. It's really not that hard to grasp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. That & the drugs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Were we or were we not the 8th best team in England for season 2016/17? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Or the fact he'd have ****ed off with Lallana, Poch & the others had he not been injured Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Do you understand the difference between access & membership? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. New manager in his first year in England. I think 8th & a cup final would be a bloody good season, especially if he loses VvD in the Jan window. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  9. The interesting thing for me is how the hung parliament affects Labours final Brexit position . Had May won a 50 majority Corbyn could stick to his policy of appealing to both Leave & Remain, being all things to all men. Just oppose, oppose, oppose, safe in the knowledge that he could tell Remainers that the Tories rammed Brexit through, & leavers aren't going to care once we've left. What happens now, when his votes matter? How does his delicate policy of facing both ways fare when it'll decide the outcome. How are his Glastonbury fans & Remainers going to feel when it's his votes that confirm the exit. Equally, how will the leavers in his heartlands going to feel if his votes stop Brexit. In a strange way doing so well, may actually cause him a real dilemma on this issue and split his delicate balancing act Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. My fear was that the remain establishment would contrive to give us a Brexit that wasn't really one at all. That they would try to pretend that we'd left, but by retaining SM membership, we'd done no such thing. Luckily, instead of just getting on with this "Brexit" and presenting us with the fait accompli of a Norway style deal, they started talking pony about "hard" & "soft" Brexit. This meant that the differences were explained to people & it's clear to everyone that it's not really leaving. Had Cameron stayed, got a cross party group together & the remoaners shut up, I've no doubt they'd have presented us with " we've enacted your wishes & left the Eu. Here's the deal, in the CU & in the SM". A total stitch up. Why I believe that Corbyns move yesterday was significant (and McDonnell's interview on Marr 3 weeks ago) is that they have effectively ruled out a SM stitch up. They have conceded that remaining in the SM is not leaving. It is now harder for people to argue that you can leave the EU & remain in the SM. Labour's position when the deal comes back can only be, "accept the deal or stay in". We may still stay in, but there's no ambiguity about it. The danger of people being suckered into thinking they're leaving, when in reality we haven't, has gone. Corbyn & Mcdonnell have spent their whole lives opposing the EU. It was only because leaving was a red line to so many of the PLP & membership & that position would have threatened his leadership, that he half heartedly backed remain. He's still fudging & waking a tight rope, but he's boxed off the SM stitch up and by doing so has done us leavers a great service. Alister Campbell is spitting feathers, he understands what Corbyn has done & Nige is praising him. It's now out or in, not out, in , or half in ( with people thinking we're out) & we've got Jezza to thank for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Do you understand the difference between "retaining the benefits" & retaining membership of the single market? Some, including you, are in utter denial of labours position. Corbyn sacks shadow ministers who vote in favour of staying in the SM & still you don't get it. When it comes to the SM, there's a cigarette paper between Tory & Labour policy. Both want to maintain the benefits, whilst not being members, the have cake & eat it position. Do you understand that in the Lords & again in the commons last night, labour front benches refused to vote for a motion advocating staying in? Not only that,but within mins of the vote people who did vote for it,got sacked. I've no doubt they'll whinge, complain & vote against any deal, because cake & eat it, is impossible to deliver. But their alternative will not be staying in ala Norway, that horse has bolted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Is there anybody now in any doubt? Labours position is that we will not be members of the single market post Brexit . Even though it was in their manifesto some didn't seem the grasp it. Perhaps tonight's vote & Corbyn subsequently sacking people who voted for SM membership, may finally convince them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. One of the best books I've ever read is "Grovel" the story of Clive Lloyds WI tour of England in 76. It maybe for blokes of a certain vintage, but it's a great story highlighting the second best sports story that long hot summer. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1157640.Grovel_ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. They did it to reduce the structural deficit, exactly the same aim as Alister Darling. Did Brown & Darling want to "shrink the state" or did they want to live within our means. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. If he continues to learn & develop at the rate he did since coming into the side,he'll be hell of a player this time next year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. He's not any better than Stephens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Wow, that's amazing. A whole tier of devolved Government at no extra cost to the UK taxpayer. Perhaps we could have an English Parliament if the cost is £0 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. If Pickford is worth £30 mil then my co cks a carrot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. And so it should be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Yeah, **** Stephens. Played really well stepping into VvD's shoes, certainly better than Gibson or Ake did (Jan-May)but **** him, get youngsters in from other clubs and ditch our own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Stephens hasn't got any better since then?????? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. What tier are your friends? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Why? He's no better than Stephens Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. The rest of the UK, or England? What is the amount of extra spending & self Government labour has bribed Jocksville & Wales with over the years? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I don't believe for 1 sec that he has a clause in his contract inserted when he became captain, stating he can't be sold for 2 years. If true, his agent must be the biggest ****ing idiot in football. Supporters get hung up with captaincy, particularly British ones. My personal opinion is Claude gave the best man the on field captaincy & it had nothing to do with what type of contract he signed. I just don't buy this " if you stay, we will make you skipper" line. I could just about buy these things being taken into account regarding club captain, but team captain , no ****ing way.
