Point me in the direction of one article , quote or speech at the time ( not it hindsight ) that backs up your re writing of history , . Brown was for the euro when the time was right . That is a fact . It's easy to say " but he didn't really mean it" but that was his public line . Of course he against it now , they all are . Theyre the ones rewriting history , not the people who were against the principle .

Oh , so because Brown claims now he was always against , you take it as read . Personally , I believe the labour policy that if the 5 tests were met they'd join . 5 tests set by Brown . Why set tests if you're fundememtally against ? Brown wasn't fundamentally against it at all , he was against joining at that time . You seem incapable of understanding that basic fact

This is just complete and utter bollards . Brown set 5 economic tests that if met , he would recommend joining the Euro . That is not being vehemently opposed at all .

I know , the point I was trying to make was that the leveliish playing field meant they could break the £1mil barrier in that era . Even if Leicester win the league the hottest prospects ie Kane won't go there . When us , Watford and qpr can finish second the league is obviously more " even " than it is now . Cloughie is the greatest imo , but it was a different world then . What Leicester have done , or will do hopefully , defies logic . An OK manager , with what is basically journeymen players , ****ing on the elites parade , I love it ( shame it's not us because I truly believe our Poch side was better than them )

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

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 .

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 .

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

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.

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 .

Another sensible appearance from Mark Littlewood on QT last night

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 .

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.

Correct . Look at the difference between the EEC and the EU . Nobody knows what the EU will look like in future .

Cheers, so only 7 clubs can qualify for Europe . Either 4 & 3 or 5 & 2

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 .

Spain had 5 this year

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

Could have done with Arsenal winning that one , relying on Man Utd or West Ham now

The9 , did you see TCWTB & his merry men . You've given us an update on the new toilets , has Westwood updated his deodorant

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

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

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 .

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

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
