Shockingly biased interview with Brenda. He asked José about Costa not getting a red, but nothing to Brenda about Henderson & Lucas red, plus blatant peno. Why do the press suck up to him so much. Keep banging on about Mario, but Brenda signed him.

Marking there , shocking

Second yellow for Henderson all day long, what is this clown on?

That's a pen though. If the refs not going to give that , what is a pen. He's looking straight at it.

They do seem to have the remarkable knack of employing shirte managers , who get a few good results at the end of the season and manage to screw up the whole following year . The thing at that level is a decent manager makes a hell of a lot of difference . It's only when you get to the championship that money and being well run becomes a bigger factor . My concern is they'll get somebody in that can harness that number of supporters and get them up despite the clowns running the show. Awful isn't that man, so the longer he's in the job the better

If we are going to have debates , this is clearly the fairest system . As an English voter I don't want to listen to Ian Paisley jr ranting on about Fenians or some obscure Taff moaning about the price of sheep dip. Personally I would have one QT type programme per party , where the front bench are quizzed by journos specialising in their field . I want to see potential chancellors , Home Secretaries , foreign secretaries , health ect , put on the spot . Anyone who votes on the basis of a debate is a moron . You end up voting for the best debater , not the best candidate

But they doing allocate airtime on the basis of seats at the last election. An independent body Ofcom tell the broadcasters who they should treat as major parties. This is based on number of MPs, polls since the last election and national election results since the last election. Ofcom recently announced that they considered the establishment parties, plus ukip are to be treated as major parties this election.

Keeping Awful has given me a dilemma. If Awful does shiete and loses a few they'll bin him and may end up getting a decent replacement in. If they win a few he'll stay , and they won't go down. Based on the fact Hartlepools are shocking , I can't see them being worse than every other team, I think the best result could be a few wins. The deluded Few will then keep Awful , who is basically a poor manager , and we'll be at the same place this time next year. Like it or not, if they get a decent manager they are perfectly capable of promotion next year, with Awful they won't.

The SNP have very short memories. Salmonds first spell as first minister relied on a confidence and supply agreement with the Torys.

****ing hell, these clowns are going to hand the election to Cameron on a plate. Just heard Ed's latest " weaponising " of the NHS. "100 days to save it and the English NHS is in crisis. " " How is it in crisis " asked interviewer. " waiting times in A&E are up" " targets missed" Interviewer points out to Ed that waiting times are longer and targets missed by more in Labour run Welsh NHS " is that in crisis" " no " replies Ed. If like me you're wondering how that can her Ed explains " The Welsh NHS is better than it was 20 years ago , when the Tories ran it, so its not in crisis. " . Ed was then asked " is the English NHS better than it was 20 years ago" . " yes " replies Ed. " so if the English NHS is in crisis despite being better than it was, surely the Welsh one is as well" . Ed thinking on his feet says " I'm here to talk about the English NHS as the Welsh one isnt on the ballot paper in May". This bloke is going to make Gordon Browns Mrs Duffy campaign look like a slick masterpiece.

This is where the game of chess with The EU ( basically the Germans) begins. The problem the Germans have is that if they allow a " Greek haircut" where will it end. What is the incentive for the Portuguese, Spanish or French to continue with fiscal discipline, how will the Irish feel as they've basically knuckled down and have shown real restraint in the teeth of savage German imposed austerity . The balancing act the Greek lefties have is their population want to remain in the EU and Euro, they can not risk being chucked out as that'll be electoral suicide. A typical EUSSR fudge is needed, so that both sides save face. However , if its an obvious fudge the money markets will punish the Euro and the fiscally responsible countries within it will start paying more for their borrowing. Its a mess because ideology was put before practicality. Tight fiscal rules for joining the Euro were bent, broken and ignored and Germany turned a blind eye because " the project" was the only thing that mattered.

That's because the worlds coolest musician has a place there . Willie Nelson

Ofcom who are independent deemed ukip & lib dems major parties. Last time they deemed it just the established 3 and therefore just the established 3 did the debates. Once you start deviating from ofcoms ruling it becomes a mess. As you say Cameron is just trying to make it farce so it doesn't happen, but he looks reasonable . He won't even want a head to head with Red Ed, why would he? Ed has nothing to lose. Not that it'll happen. Personally I don't like them, not whilst we have FPTP.

The Greeks should have devalued their currency and that would have kick started their economy. They couldn't do so because it wouldnt be good for the German and other economies.EXACTLY what people like Bill Cash and John Redwood said would happen, has happened. You can not have monetary union without fiscal union , and don't give me any pony about Gordon Brown. Brown was for us joining when the time was right, he was not against the union in principle, he was for it for Greece, for Cyprus , for Spain, even for the UK, just not at that particular time. As Mark Littlewood head of the IEA ( and a saints fan BTW) said today, " you can vote for parties that don't believe in gravity, but that won't stop you getting hit on the head" . like Hollande these lefties will have to face reality and conform to the EU/German straight jacket, they will still have EU imposed austerity. They may get a loosening of the terms of their bail out, but will not be allowed to default or leave the Euro. The worst thing that can happen to the politburo in Brussels is the Greeks leaving the Euro and starting a recovery, because the rest of the club med will follow. They won't be allowed to default whilst in the EUSSR because it'll mean the Germans paying more for their borrowing. Who ever thought Germany and Greece could form a currency union was bonkers. Yet the same loons who did will be the same ones frightening us to stay in this political union. Remember that next time you hear Mandleson, Clarke, Blair or Clegg lecturing us on membership.

Lucas has tried to mount a salvage operation. Claimed that the £72 is under review because they've realised it impacts the poor and makes them worse off than now. On Westminster hour R4 she said they're still committed to £72 for every man, women and CHILD ( dear god) in the country , but may have to bung the poor a bit more. Its not about a simplified tax system , Bennett herself said its about allowing people to do less full time work and not live in " fear" . Although this Home Defence Force frightens me more than me, Mrs duck and our brats picking up £288 a week from the state, especially if I have an Al Qaeda social club in the neighbourhood.

Has Awful gone yet? I've texted a couple of their " owners" but they were not too willing to let on. Perhaps there's a board meeting at the moment, because both "owners" texted back basically telling me to **** off.

The colonel messed elvis up, stupid films and pathetic songs once he left the army , until elvis himself took control of his own musical direction around '68. The period from the comeback until the LV washout he was fantastic . A couple of great albums in Memphis , with great musicians . Suspicious minds and in the ghetto are the famous ones from those albums , but the other stuff is really outstanding . Any day now, true love travels on a gravel road, long black limo , to name a few. Now the albums are all repackaged and given new names , but you can still pick up the songs in iTunes . Great mixture , bit bluesy, hillbilly, country, rock and roll, anybody who hears these will be convinced he's a great great singer. 80% of his stuff was dross , but the 20% , man nobody could touch him .

I check my daughters FB and Twitter every week for cyber safety or whatever it's called. Anyway after reading the above , thought I'd use her account to check out the #pompey . **** me , they are even more deluded than I thought. Some of the runners and riders , according to them ( and some posted "realistically " , so I'd dread to see the unrealistic ones ) Nigel Adkins Alan Curbishly Neil Warnock Tim Sherwood Uwe rosler Paulo di Cannio I did want to post " you ****ing deluded twts, but can't as it's a 14 year old girls account. One even wrote "I'd consider Nigel Adkins" . ****ing consider, chumps

In another political development tonight George Galloway has just said Call Me Dave's latest MEP was chucked out of Respect for dodgy dealings. He's gone from a Tory, to Respect, to UKIP and now back to Tories, wow that's some journey . I couldn't help but think the way Andrew Neil quizzed Grant ****s today , something's going to bite them in the rear over this . He kept on about vetting and about being sure you want his type as an mep. Further quote from Galloway adds fuel to this fire. " I have the documentation including photographs which prove Tory MEP Amjad to be a despicable liar. Cameron will rue this day ". All very intriguing

Crete's pretty cheap and when we were there the locals said that Malia was basically an 18-30's town. Alberfura is cheap, but I loved it there so maybe it's not very trendy. There were plenty of scantily clad chicks wandering around and started to get lively as I turned in about 1am

Greens getting a lot of clog on social media after that performance . someone described it as a "bicycle crash of an interview", which made me lol.

Call me Dave's not going to be happy with Andrew Neil tonight. He needs the Greens to split the leftie vote, but watching Sunday politics they're bonkers. Bennett told Neil , they'll abolish the army and replace it with a " home defence force " ( don't panic Mr manwarring ) , will make it legal to be a member of IS or the Real IRA. Leave nato and impose import tarrifs even on eu countries.They're also going to give everyone £72 a week whether they need it or not. Neil worked out this would cost £280 billion , how will they pay for it? By abolishing JSA and child benefit. When it was pointed out that would leave them £272 million short, rest assured she will spell out the rest in her manifesto. It will also abolish tax free allowances, as Andrew pointed out thats worth 10k a year and their citizens wage of £72 is 3k a year. Even the bankers and millionaires get the £72. Nice... It really was bonkers, anyone thinking of voting for these clowns should watch it. Car crash interview.

So who do you suggest will come and sit on the bench is case Pelle gets injured. Someone we only have to pay till June , and don't need to pay a fee for?

Even if Burnley would sell, what's his agents advice likely to be? If he waits till end of season, as a free his signing on fee will be higher and I would have thought his wages will also reflect this. Therefore not only will we need to overpay a transfer fee, we'll probably have to overpay the player as well. Great way to do business.

At the risk of showing my Dell sized mentality, I've always liked Hugo Rodallega . looks like he's out of contract in the summer . Maybe fulham want to get him off the wage bill, so might loan him out for the rest of the season. He's played regularly in the top flight and although not the best around , could do a job as a back up if he's chasing a deal.
