This is exactly what happened, there was never any intention of holding a referendum. It was going to be traded out during coalition talks. It did show how ukip didn't actually need MP's to influence policy. The fear of ukip costing them seats by either winning them outright or (more likely) splitting their vote , allowing lib dems or labour to win seats , made Cameron pledge a referendum.

I'd stop digging if I was you. May did not call an election to push through a Norway deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People seem to struggle understanding the concept of taking back control of immigration. Perhaps they're so institutionalised & brain washed by EU membership they've missed the point entirely. It will be the British parliaments job to determine numbers and the British people's job to mandate that. Whether that means more immigration or less is entirely down to Britain.

The Tory manifesto will confirm no membership of the Internal market , no free movement of people, no ECJ influence over the uk and will pursue trade deals with the outside world . How on earth anyone can call that a "Norway deal" is beyond me. And I thought it was meant to be the Leave side that didn't understand the issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anybody think that number will move with more exposure for Steptoe, Abbott & McDonnell? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're deluded man if you really believe that pony. The Tories haven't been this popular since good old Mrs T. They're going to get in with an increased majority, no worries . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Going to be great to see the assorted snowflakes & lefties routed AGAIN. They're so out of touch with 21st century England Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People should listen to The Times Game podcast this week in which Le Parisian's Julien Laurens talks about Puel. He says Saints fans should give him time, says Puel builds teams & builds them whilst having players sold , " it's what he does". Went on to add he's got an incredible will to win & determination , still mixes it with players in training even at 55. Said loads of players rave about him & his methods. Wasn't all positive, said he has a major failing in substituting players too early in game & also doesn't come across particularly well to supporters. Said that he will get it right given time .

Lol what a pile of pony . " Hard on for Gordon Brown" yeah that'll be me, new labour to the core. She's now going to ask for a mandate for her type of Brexit, thanks for backing up my point Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nearly every single political discussion with labour, snp or lib dem politician ends up with them claiming she "hasn't got a mandate " . Were they wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nobody knows if A50 is reversible as it's never been triggered before. Legal opinion is divided & there is a court case scheduled in Dublin to test whether it is or not. Perhaps posters on here know more than the finest legal brains, but I doubt it. Not that it matters anyway, no party including the lib dumbs will go into this election promising to withdraw A50, they haven't got the balls to stick to their principles. There will be weasel words around The Single Market followed by a promise of another referendum on the outcome of negotiations. What ever happens the Tories & Labour will the policy of continuing with the process & they're the only parties that matter. The funniest thing about today is the lefties who have spent months complaining May hasn't got a mandate complaining that she's seeking one. With the threat of UKIP splitting their vote gone the Tories will be returned with an increased majority. Marginal Tory /Labour after marginal Tory / labour constituencies will fall to the Tories & any lib dumb revival will come at the expense of labour. The South West is an area where Tories might have been under pressure, but most of it was strongly for Brexit. The stronger Farron goes for remainers in labour held remain seats the more he'll insure the south west will stay Tory . Some people on here seem to think they'll be a shock & I agree with them. However, where I disagree is the nature of the shock. I think the Tories are going to absolutely smash this one, even winning 2 or 3 more seats in Scotland. They'll have their best result in Wales for years . They're headed for a 50 seat majority, minimum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It goes back further than that , to the alleged fix between us & Spurs in '78 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Behave . How many times have we finished top 8 in 100 years? Minimum !!!!I'd say top 8 is the top end of our ambitions. If you think it should be a minimum, you're going to end up very disappointed the next few years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The issue with Gaston wasn't people jumping to conclusions or not giving him a chance, but people unable to see that he clearly wasn't good enough. Banging on and on about the "Villa match", going on that he "clearly has talent " . We're in the same territory now with people defending the indefensible. He has been absolutely woeful lately. Personally I'm not sure he has the mentality or strength to play in England, certainly nothing I've seen suggests he has. Hopefully he will come good , but if he's still shocking in 18 months time I hope the people will admit it rather than cling onto to never been glories as the Gastonettes did Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can we merge this thread with the Gaston one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two woeful performances against Midtjlland must have been in my dreams. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank god you're not in charge of recruiting, he's shocking. Even worse than Forster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Koeman was a perfect fit at the time. We'd lost a lot of players and our credibility was on the line. Koeman was a big name and he was also pretty pragmatic about losing top players because he wasn't in as strong a position as he is now. There's no way he was considered a top manager and the jury was out on his managerial career. However, that doesn't mean he would have been a good fit now. As a club we need to develop youngsters and , as corny as it sounds, have a "pathway" to the first team. In that respect Puel is perfect for us. Add in the fact that Koeman clearly wanted out, I believe that Puel has had a better season than Koeman would have done. If I was an Everton supporter I'd want Koeman, but I'm not. In the right here, right now Puel is a better fit for our club. And as for players like Tadic JRod & Long throwing their toys out of the pram, they can **** off as far as I'm concerned. It's not Puels fault JRod & Long don't appear to know where the goal is, or his fault that Tadic plays well 40% of the time, whilst spending the rest mincing about. JWP, McQueen, Stephens, Sims are the future of the club and they've improved a lot under Claude. Certainly better than they would of under Koeman Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd be happy with a top half finish & a decent cup run. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paddy Ashdown still thinks not joining the euro was a mistake. He was on Sunday politics 3 weeks ago saying exactly that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So was Watford, Palace , Boscombe & West Brom away. Home games against Liverpool in the cup, home to Everton (yes Everton when they were so shiete pre the genius Ron), Home to Stoke & Villa . I've no doubt the same plums calling for Puels head were doing the same to Koeman then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So before he'd played a game for saints you'd have had Redmond in a combined Everton/Saints 11. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
