I thought the Redknapp stuff was pretty poor, nothing original or funny. Just singing "we ****ing hate you" made us look a bit 2 bob in my opinion. There wasn't really the raw passion, the real hate against him. Hate to say it but that awful day at Fratton, that was a atmosphere of real hate that affected his players, ours was just going through the motions. Should have stuck to supporting team rather than get side-tracked by Redknapp, it makes us look a bit silly when we lose.

Anybody who thinks we wouldn't have put in a performance like this under Nigel is clearly deluded. It may not have been this exact game, but we would of had a terrible performance if Nigel had stayed. People need to get a grip and calm down. Onto the performance, Cork played well, Jay Rod did ok, but everybody else was a bit pedestrian. Maya had his poorest game for weeks. Fox was no worse than anyone else, but I guess he'll get stick

They were in the frog and parrot and were clearly cardinals or popes. Ffs, get a grip they were not KKK

To leave the EU. For the UK to govern itself. It's just not about immigration . The point about EU immigration is that the British electorate, and the British parliament have no choice. What is racist about wanting the British people to decide how to run our borders?

Music is one of the most important unimportant things in my life, but I never get sentimental about shops or the charts ECT. Personally, I've got into a lot of stuff via YouTube and other such media. I didn't want my parents ramming their music and how they listened to it down my throat so ain't going to be doing so to my kids. I think downloads are far better than 33/45's or cd's, and if it means skipping revolution number 9 or yellow submarine, then that a bonus. There has always been shiete music, even in the great years of '68-'77. I hate modern music , but in a way that's great. My grandparents hated jerry lee Lewis, my dad hated my music. Part of what makes music great and fresh, is that old fossils like me dont get it.

Was more of a peno than the one we got at Villa.

The OP doesn't say whether it's a season ticket or a match ticket. Match ticket, the adult knows the score and if he gets refused entry then so be it. Wouldn't try it with a nippers season ticket in case the nipper's ticket got confiscated/deactivated. Pretty poor form if the nipper misses any matches because your mate is too tight to upgrade.

Hang on, unless I'm missing something the Mayor was wanting the assembly to scrutinise his budget, to ask questions on behalf of Londoners and they voted against it. If he's showing a lack of leadership, what does that say about the people unwilling to question him?

Never thought old cleggys defence that he never knew would fall apart quite so quickly. statement being made tonight, like to see how Clegg gets out of this.

Perhaps Jos is playing better because he's suddenly not an automatic choice to replace Fonte. Sometimes bringing more competition in, brings more out of the existing players.

I just love where all this "potential" has come from . I lost count of the number of "he clearly has ability" posts we've had about this guy. He is quite young for a keeper, but has not looked anything like good enough this season. He's cost us points, even when we've won (QPR) he looked like Mike Gatting fielding a googlie. From what I can tell his "ability" and "potential" is based on, one save against Newcastle, Good timewasting, good kicking, Nigel playing him. If I remember correctly Bart was younger than him when he made his debut, and at that time looked a class above this guy.

Depends on how this Lord Rennard story develops over the week. It's getting nearer and nearer to Cleggy , with his parliamentary aide admitting that "she took action" after the women confided in her. It beggars belief that accusations were made against the CEO of the party, that Clegg's parliamentary aide took action over it, yet didn't tell Cleggy????? The same guy then steps down for "health reasons". Come on!!! I have a feeling it'll be the normal small lie that'll do for Cleggy on this. He didn't do anything, nothing has been proved yet, but by claiming he knew nothing of the allegations he's leaving himself wide open. If this gathers legs it could tip the balance against the Lib/dems despite strong local representation. No wonder they went for a short campaign...........

Didn't watch motd, but soccer Saturday said next 5 were winnable games for qpr. I personally wouldn't write them off yet. I still think those 2 points dropped at Wigan could come back go haunt us. Norwich, Swansea, Wigan and stoke we really chucked away points, we should be sitting here with at least 4 more, sitting pretty

The government ****ed this up politically by putting too much emphasis on the AAA rating. Yes, it was important to keep borrowing at rock bottom rates, but the ratings are just a guide. Its down to the markets and provided they've still got confidence rates will remain low. The us lost their status, but continue to borrow at low rates. Cameron and Osborne put too much on the actual status rather than the rate. For that basic mistake they deserve all the stick coming to them. Peter Hitchens offered the opinion that we're not seeing a downturn but national decline. A decline overseen by both major parties. I tend to agree, neither party are prepared to make cuts, its all tinkering around the edges, just kicking the can down the road in the hope of getting elected. We have a health service and welfare system based on a 1950's view of the world and both need major reform. Nobody will do it, because it makes them unelectable. We have spent 40 years living above our means and do not want to deal with that fact. You can change government,but the thinking will remain the same. They just think the deck chairs should be arranged differently. The ship is still going down.

Nor do the stewards at football.

I watched the bit on soccer Saturday and noticed one of the PST called it a "hybrid bid" . Has anyone heard them use this expression before , because I've only ever heard them talk of fan ownership. They seem to be moving towards accepting that its a few rich people using fans money, rather than a fan owenership. I thought that turn of phrase was very telling.

Heard a guy on 5live the other night discussing this. He said it cost the same to go to the cinema in the 70's as it did to watch top flight football. Now it's £8.50 for cinema and £35 for football.

The whole education system and "choice" is corrupted by money. Whether it's richer people moving into the catchment of good state schools, richer people paying tutors to school their kids into Grammar, or rich paying for private education. Why do people do the 3 things mentioned, because some state schools are awful.

Believe it or not FIFA have been known to say one thing and do another. They used to refuse to consider any technology, including the goal line. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/7385130/Fifa-rule-out-goal-line-technology.html

Like it did at Wolves?

Maybe so, but what if the goal comes from a cross made that was clearly behind the line and should have been a goal kick. Why should one line decision be made using technology and not another one? Its like having Hawkeye on the base line but not the service line in tennis. I bet there are more result altering mistakes made after erroneous corners and off sides than there ever are goal line stuff. It will lead to more and more and eventually reviews. In cricket it started for line decisions only and has now spread to lbw. In my opinion the same will happen in football. It can't be right that a man can be 5 yards offside but have goal given after Hawkeye confirms his effort crossed the line. It's like Hawkeye giving the batsmen out caught behind off a no ball, where you use the technology to establish he hit the ball, but can't use it to determine it was a no ball. Once you accept one form of technology, who seriously believes it'll end there?

Reminds me of a story my mate told me about his jury service. They discussed the case for about 2 hours and they had 8 not guiltys 3 unsure and one defo guilty. They asked the guy why he thought guilty as none of the others were of that opinion,. His reply was "because he's a gypsy and their all robbing gets" (the case was robbing from a building site).

Just been reading the reasons the judge dismissed the jury in his wifes case. They came back with a set of questions, one of which was asking if they could base a verdict on reasons not presented in court and there was no evidence for. Where on earth do they get these idiots from. I hope I'm never up on a charge with half wits like that on the jury. They also wanted to know what reasonable doubt meant.... Surely there should be some IQ test before serving. Jesus Christ.

Goal line stuff is the thin end of the wedge. What happens if Ricky punches one in ala maradona style at ot, it hits the bar comes down on the line , and is given by video reply. Is sir Alex going to say fair play, or are we going to get the line "why use cameras for one incident and not others, and the cameras are there why not use them". You'll then end up with subjective decisions as well as factual ones. Did Suarez deliberately handle against Mansfield? What about an offside goal, that's a line decision,throw ins lead to goals. We'll end up with cameras for every incident because managers will push and push for it by moaning when non camera stuff goes against them

Has anyone got any idea how last weeks cup reults and draw affect this kick off and the chances of a switch
