  1. The Leicester story is the most amazing thing I've seen in 40 years of watching football . What would the meltdown on here be had we replaced Toby with Morgan or brought allbrighton in ( myself included) . This is no forest or Blackburn , remember forest had the worlds best keeper , spent a million on Francis . I thought it would be amazing if we finished top 4 , but to win it , **** me . I have a mate who supports them , he is in dreamland . He's been married to a scouse for 25 years , lived in Liverpool that time and her old fella and family are st holders there . Who would have thought Leicester will win the premier league before Liverpool
  2. Is that the best you can do? If you can not decide who enters your country , who leaves you country , can not decide who you pay your benefits to, if your courts aren't supreme, , and can not set your own indirect taxes , you can hardly call yourself an independent nation .
  3. The EU dictate a minimum rate of 15% , although there are excemptions allowed from the EU approved list . Countries can go begging to Eurocrats for excemptions , but they're not always given . An example bring solar panels & insulation , the democratically elected British government set it at nil to stimulate growth in that industry . Laughably the EU have declared that illegal ( laughable because they're trying to hit eu targets ) . A democratically elected government could stand for election on reducing vat to 10% , win a landslide majority , but Greeks, Cypriots , French ect Eurocrats won't let them do that . They even made the Spainish introduce vat as a condition of joining .
  4. Just resigned over disability cuts . Says he can not support Osbornes cuts to the disabled . Says they are indefensible in a budget that benefits higher earning tax payers
  5. What on earth are you on about you plum . It was you that tried to claim the US had monetary union but not fiscal Union. If you don't know the EU's rules around VAT there's not really a lot of point in continuing with this . I suggest you do some research , understand it & then we can debate the merits of it.
  6. Dear oh dear , do you really believe everyone wanting out is a kipper? Personally I believe the uk chancellor should decide vat rates & on which products , you're happy to let Europeans do it for us .
  7. Another sensible appearance from Mark Littlewood on QT last night
  8. Eddie Howe , but I'm not convinced he will come to us . One to keep an eye on is David Wagner at Huddersfield . He worked with Klopp at Dortmund & took over from Chris Powell in Nov . They're not tearing up the league but evidently he's changed their style & they're extremely well coached .
  9. He's not as good as some on here make out . He is great in a side our level , but is only squad player level when you're looking at the top top clubs . I like the guy , long fondly back at his time here & wish him well , but the reality is he's a French Henderson.
  10. Correct . Look at the difference between the EEC and the EU . Nobody knows what the EU will look like in future .
  11. Cheers, so only 7 clubs can qualify for Europe . Either 4 & 3 or 5 & 2
  12. Spooky , I was listening to pod cast of Frank Worthingtons one today walking the dog , and I thought I bet Matt would be a good one for Kelly to do . Anyone who misses it , not all my sporting life podcasts are on iTunes . Go to Audible & they're on there , no charge but you do need to register a card as most stuff on there carries a fee . Mick's ones on there as well as Frank Worthingtons .
  13. Spain had 5 this year
  14. What happens if Man Utd or Liverpool win Europa and finish above us , would we still have 3 Europa Spots and therefore 8th would do it
  15. Could have done with Arsenal winning that one , relying on Man Utd or West Ham now
  16. The9 , did you see TCWTB & his merry men . You've given us an update on the new toilets , has Westwood updated his deodorant
  17. Bertrand has to be held up as an example of why youngsters are better off at clubs like ours . Ok, he had a champions league winners medal , but he wasted 3 years of his career . The stupid thing is had he come through our ranks , he'd probarly be at Chelsea or Man c now . These big clubs just don't have a pathway to the first team , money and prestige is the only reason parents push their nippers there . For devolopment come to a club like ours
  18. I really thought Costa was going to chin the ref when he got his red Regarding our game , I wasn't there . But, there is a line a commentator has to draw & I thought the plum on Solent crossed it today . He was giving personal opinions on the ref from the off . All game he was banging on about what a poor ref he is , that's crossed an impartial line imo . I'm not saying they should be all Brian Johnston and say " he'll be disappointed with his decision when he sees the replay " , but they should keep personal opinions out of it . At the end he was getting all excited that Crouch had to go , before grudgingly conceding Mason was right . As I say , I wasn't there , and he may have been shiete , but Solent got personal and I thought it unprofessional and biased
  19. Because they play higher wages than us & also he's been hit and miss the last couple of seasons. He's also had a spell at a big club unlike the players we didn't keep, that must maker a difference in mind set .
  20. You're not genuinely undecided , so there's not a lot of point in you watching it . Bloke talks a lot of sense and is a passionate Saint , so what if he takes money from the tobacco industry , so does Ken Clarke , but I bet you listen to his EU views
  21. I suggest anyone gunuinely undecided watches our very own Mark Littlewood on Thursdays Daily Politics . His journey from young federalist to Leave campaigner on film , followed by a solid performance with common sense answers . Leave should get him in front of the cameras more
  22. Frank Field, Mark Littlewood, David Owen , Lord Digby-Jones, Giesele Stuart , Kate Hoey .
  23. Funny isn't it ? When Leave people say it's inconceivable that we won't face tariffs from the EU , Remainians cry " but you don't know for sure" . Yet they know for sure Turkey won't join . Had we had this argument during the last vote , you would have said Poland & Romania wouldn't join , no way, never . You haven't a clue what the EU will look like in 50 years time and who will be a member . As for being further away , the " deal " on migrants if agreed , and it needs agreeing by all of the States in the EU , is specifically the other side of your " fact number 3" . The deal is to move them closer to the union , speeding up their accession . So what are you saying that the EU are just pretending there's a deal , when they're not going to do a damn thing about it and it changes nothing , Would the EU do that ? I thought " deals" made with the EU are legally binding ( like Cameron's one)
  24. Don't talk nonsense man . The Euro can only survive if the EU becomes more integrated , not less . Everybody talks about reforms , but the only reforms that ever happen are reforms that move it further away from a Trading bloc and nearer a United States . " Ever closer union" is not just an advertising slogan or a sound bite , it's the foundations of the whole project .
  25. At the moment we have " unsafe " standing so I really don't see what the issue is . Maybe the end of the Hillsborough enquiry and it's inevitable conclusion that some fans could have been saved and that the police and authorities messed up and then covered up , could be the time to draw a line under the past .
