Lord Duckhunter

Just having a noggin or 2 in a bar on holiday & get talking to 2 guys from Swansea . They reckon he was different class for them , couldn't praise him highly enough . They reckon he's a perfect match for us

Anyone who thinks lambert is in the same class as sheringham is deluded .

Although he never really had pace , your legs can still " go" without it . His spring and sharpness can go and his legs have a lot of mileage in them . Personally , I think the stop start nature of his Liverpool career is what'll do for him . He needs to play week in week out to maintain his sharpness and it doubt he'll get that at WBA either . Comparisons with Teddy S are wide of the Mark IMO . Teddy was a class above and played most if his career in the top flight , the years of slog will catch up with Rickie . For all his legend status he's played what 50 top flight games and one season in second tier , other than that he's played lower league season in season out .

I was watching a dodgy picture from a bar near Malaga , but I thought we were pretty good. First half excellent , second a bit so -so but the result is everything . Mane looked class but I thought classie ( spelling) struggled . I'm a bit polluted so won't try and spell his name , but the locals I spoke to here reckon the little spainiah fella is class , and the set up for long was special . Let's hope we've got a diamond on our hands .

After an intensive interview process I've now settled on the spainish bar I'll be watching this in. A few scousers in here, moaning about lovren when they saw my polo shirt . 3-0 for me .

Film would be "The last waltz " , the greatest rock film ever made . My book would also have a rock theme" Bill Graham presents " . The auto biography Bill was working on at the time of his death , finished off by someone else using interviews and stuff from the likes of Garcia & Jagger . Amazing story , from escaping the nazis as a German Jew to becoming rocks greatest impresario . Great stuff .

I presume you mean that vunerable 2 year olds with half bakes as parent or parents have their lives enhanced by the environment . Would you say that normal , everyday kids need this at 2 . Personally I kept all my 4 at home till they started school . Two are at grammar school and the older 2 have decent jobs . It obviously helped that they had siblings , but staying at home did them no harm . IF , and it's obviously a big if , everybody was " normal" would it make that much difference ?

Lol lol

Lol

No , I go to get away from the snap dragon and her nagging .

We subsidise their child care so they can go to work, pay tax and that tax can be used to subsidise child card .

It wants to subsidise child care because it thinks it needs to run our lives . It tries to drive behaviours it approves of. . On the whole the unintended consequences of government interference ****s things up . I personally don't believe government should subsidise child care and I have 4 kids myself . It seems very strange that this so called Tory government tell the poor that they need to consider the financial implications of having more children , and try and re-enforce that message by limiting their welfare to the first 2 , but then subsidise child care. Surely the two are inconsistent . I respect your views but mine is that if the government got the hell out of our lives , things would be cheaper including child care .

I've always rated Chester . Ok , so he's not the finished article , but he's a decent age for a centre half . Couple of seasons with Jose and I think he could be a real decent player .

I couldn't disagree more . What's a free market party doing interfering with the free market . Child care costs won't come down whilst government is subsidising them , so they keep going up attracting more and more tax payer money . What's the incentive for a nursery to be competitive ? Nothing . Smaller government would mean less tax , the market would bring down child care costs rather than artificially keeping them high . It's not up to the government to look after people's brats until they go to school .

Ted Heath was an absolute disaster, it needed Mrs T and people like Norman Tebbit to push the wet wing of the party to the sides and take the country forward . Heath was an incredibly weak leader with a massive chip on his shoulder , even weaker than Johnnie Major. " One nation " what a load of old bollards . It's just a cheap political slogan for people who haven't got the balls to change anything or force their ideas through.

Complete and utter rubbish . Cameron is a modern day Ted Heath . The people heading up the Tory party are nearer to Major , Clarke and Hestletine than they are to Thatcherite policies . Cameron is a wet always has been and always will be . The only thing dragging him towards his party is his slim majority . If he had a majority of 50 we'd have another wishy washy soaking wet government , exactly the same as the coalition .

I think you've hit the nail on the head . I keep trying to tell my kids not to work hard in life , otherwise they'll end up with **** all.

Hockey , you're having a nightmare on here . If you seriously think the way to win back the voters of England is to move to the left you are puddled .

Dear god!!!

The state pension is subject to a triple lock . Therefore the better and more productive the economy the better off pensioners will be.

What a way to run a leadership election . Lend a bloke votes to get him in the ballot and then allow anyone to pay a few quid and vote . I wouldn't trust this lot to run a bath , let alone a country .

Bit unfair on Michael Howard saying the Tories " survived" him. He was brought in as a replacement for IDS and to steady the ship. Nobody really thought he could win against Blair and he fought an OK election. The thing he did do was ensure there wasn't the meltdown labour is in after a defeat. He stayed on as leader and he also promoted the people who would feature prominently in the subsequent leadership election. Allowing them to show their credentials and ensure a pretty smooth handover to Call me Dave. He acted with dignity and fortitude after his defeat and the Tories owe him a great deal. As for Corbyn , he's clearly as raving leftie loon, but he's an honest leftie loon. He's clearly in tune with a vast number of labour members and trade unionists . The party rules were clearly designed to keep extreme views off the ballot paper by putting a threshold on MPs nominations . The people who messed up aren't the members who will vote for him, but the idiots that didn't want him , yet " lent" him their vote to get on the ballot. A particularly uninspiring choice awaits the Brothers , particularly when it looks like Tom Watson looks like he'all win the deputy . Corbyn & Watson really is a Tory dream ticket, they may even get Diane Flabert in the shadow cabinet as well. Kendall's too sensible , Burnhams professional Northerner act act is wearing thin, so it looks like only Mrs Balls can save them from ridicule. If Corbyn does it , it'll be funny as ****.

Peter Allis is an utter helmet and should have retired years ago .Years ago he used to turn up at Ferndown Golf Club occasionally and was the type of bloke who gives golf clubs a bad name . You only have to see how Sky have transformed football punditry and they'll do the same for golf . Blowers is the same on TMS , contrast him with Shane Warne and Michael Holding on sky . The only decent old fossil left in the commentary box is Sir Geoffrey . Allis is just embarrassing .

But that's the point, they didn't just give up their lives for " our " country. They made the ultimate sacrifice for the whole of Europe , for the Falkland islanders ( I know they're Brits but would the twitter generation lay down their lives for a piece of rock thousands of miles away) , for Cypriots , for Bosnians . To try and make out the young now more enlightened or kinder than previous generations is nonsense. There are just as many racists and bigots between 20-30 as there are between 70-80. Difference is I doubt if many 80 year olds shout their mouths off , swearing and bigging themselves up. They tend to just live and let live.

Why are people so impatient? The selling club may want to get a replacement in first, they may be holding out for more money or even trying to encourage an auction for their player. The player could be holding out for a better deal or a bigger club. Do people really believe we're so incompetent we haven't got a short list of 4 or 5 and we're not working on something. What do people want, Les ringing Celtic 5 times a day and getting himself arrested for stalking?
