Possibly as he did not challenge Brown in 2007 maybe held against him But Probably him or his brother Ed

Yes it will go up if there are spending cuts more than if there were no spending cuts

Did you see the interview with Professor Blanchflower who completely disagreed. I studied a little Economics at University 40 years ago and came to opinion that economists hardly ever agree. Dont think he said that unemployment was falling because clearly it is not and will continue to rise Yes I do think highly of Alistair Campbell

But they did lose their next match v Brentford I think

I think that was down to Thatcher in the 1980s when the Manufacturing Industry was decimated and Big Bang Happened But in the Global Economy it is difficult to compete with India/China. I worked for a Software Company who bought an Indian do do most of the coding work

I dont think he said it was going down but that it was not as bad as was expected. He did acknowledge the recovery was fragile and that cutting should be delayed until the recovery was assurred However, the total number of people claiming unemployment benefit fell in April by 27,100 to 1.52 million - a sharper fall than expected which you may be getting confused with.

I wish the SadoldGit Alpine spats could be stopped as well

What for?

No but I have not heard from 19C for some time Why?

What I dont understand is the Relevance of the Lib Dems in national politics I can see their Relevance in local and European elections. Will voters still support them in By elections because the policies they would be putting forward would be the same as the Tories - I wonder what is going to happen at Thirsk. How can changes of policy work in the next few years if Vince Cable comes up with a good one will the Tories pinch it. Who is going to oppose Trident and the Entry into the Euro if it is appropriate

That is how I see it too

I am with you on this Dont believe if AP is sacked he will not be replaced with a decent manager. I am not sure AP will be sacked but he will be under tremendous pressure to succeed.

We will have to see what happens but the players may leave if Pardew is here money talks But I doubt whether NC would get rid of Pardew and then not fully support the new manager with money.

That is why I said apparently but I do wish to see a united Manager/Chairman which I am not sure is the current case

The Echo Daily Mail Solent etc They are suggesting he has failed by not reaching the playoffs but like you I dont know. But they have better access than I do

You seem to think whatever I post is my personal take on the subject. I dont think Pardew has failed but apparently NC/ML do and that was the point of my post

But apparently his plan for this year failed

Maybe Markus was upset missing the last game because of some reason or another and can only make it on Thursday But there was a League Chairmans meeting on Monday which NC may have attended so I cannot see Markus sitting around waiting for a meeting with AP on Wednesday so now dont think my earlier post was correct

Maybe waiting for Markhus?

Dont know that is why I await with interest Not really bothered either way as the squad should be capable of promotion

Aston Villa and Burnley had similar meetings today and neither sacked their manager

It is very cold over here otherwise I would

I agree with what you are saying but a Statement regarding how he feels we are doing against the plan would possibly a good idea Good Communications would really be a good idea surely or do we have to wait until August
