  1. Who has labelled them bigots on this forum I said Yes I agree but there is a serious problem with some of them who believe that immigrants are swamping the country. There has been an influx of Eastern Europeans but most seem to pay tax and do a reasonable job in fact a pub I go to is run by a Polish family. We need to be in Europe as it is our largest trading partner and equal number of Brits go to work and live in Europe. So the attitude of this voter may have come to a be a complete surprise to Brown who got frustrated by it I think he should have addressed her concerns and not apologised because bigot was not the right word ill informed might be.
  2. That is one of the problems I agree the Daily Mail/The Sun do not give an unbiased report of the situation But I did say the problem should be dealt with because it is an issue which is festering I know in Slough nearby there have been a large influx of Eastern Europeans
  3. Yes we do but not a 36 year old Lee Carsley who has been injured and not played in the League this year. See what happened to Murty
  4. God only knows what Alpine will contribute

  6. The facts are in this Web Page http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10306~2037497,00.html
  7. So what really is the problem buying an unfit injury prone 36 year old
  8. The 36-year-old's last appearance for Blues was in the FA Cup at the start of the year and he has not been involved in a League game since early November. The former Republic of Ireland international has also been sidelined by an ankle knock there seem to be two very good reasons not to sign him
  9. They were 100 for 7 when I looked earlier now 327 for 9 382 all out
  10. Sorry just think you are wrong Posting on emotion not realism and not seeing the wider a picture based on a belief that Markus will be here forever and willing to spend most of his fortune.
  11. Yes I agree with you I only meant lots of Fans from other teams do not realise we have a wealthy backer thats all
  12. The problems with coalitions is that the electorate do not actually know what policies will be adopted after the election because some of each of the partners will be adopted. Labour have suggested some kind of PR ie AV to be decided by a Referendum. The Tories dont like the thought of PR because Lab/Lib seems to be a more likely partnership than Con/Lib - lots of Liberal supporters came from the SDP the breakaway section of the Labour Party

    The Euro

    Yes I think they cheated apparently

    The Euro

    I dont think that is particularly true Darling has said that cuts are going to be very deep The problem is that the election has possibly come at the wrong time if it had been in October growth and unemployment would be known and the actual scale of cuts could then be worked out. Personally I like the idea of Tax increases as well as spending cuts but we will have to see what happens but the problems in the Eurozone are not helping Greece probably entered the Euro without meeting the criteria
  15. By the way it is the Six Nations thses days never been to a Six Nations match but there were 60000 at Twickenham on Sauturday and I did not see any trouble. Although I was a bit upset watching Sky before kick off with Huddersfield scoring six
  16. And has given Ottery St Mary a new hero after Lowes departure and the forum lots of pointless threads and posts;)
  17. Taylor began his football career at ASC Nienburg of Nienburg, Lower Saxony in Germany before moving to England as a schoolboy. He later became a soldier in the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers based at Arborfield in Berkshire, where he attended Princess Marina College He later moved to Bordon in Hampshire where he played football for his regiment and the Army & Combined Services representative sides During this period he also played for Petersfield Town, Basingstoke Town and Farnborough Town with whom he won the Southern League Premier Division Championship in 1993–94 In June 1995, he joined Barnet of the Football League Third Division for a fee of £700 Eighteen months later he was signed by Southampton of the Premier League for a fee of £500,000 Just as Nick indicated
  18. I think you would be surprised if you went to a Rugby Match how different the environment is. There is no sign of the old bill you can take drinks to your seats and home and away supporters mix freely. Mind you some Gloucester and Leicester supporters have bad reputations
  19. Probably only two teams will be relegated from CCC if they go bust
  20. You seem to live Cloud Cuckoo Land not West End but your look at life through rose tinted spectacles always amuses me
  21. When I first started watching football in the 1960s there was no segregation at all even in Div 1
  22. No he is horribly left footed which is fine for a LB but not a RB I would have thought
  23. We are no where near as rich as most of the clubs in the top eight Markus maybe rich but the club certainly is not With a small stadium and no world wide brand it is going to take 100s of Millions of pounds to compete with some of thses teams as Pompey found out
  24. Yes I know what you mean - I have spoken to a couple of football fans from other clubs recently and neither knew anything about Markus
  25. I have enjoyed this season as well seeing teams that I could only dream about:D Not sure I want return to the Premiership and struggle again to get into the top ten as I cannot really see us competing with the large City Clubs currently in the top eight 1 Chelsea 36 61 80 2 Man Utd 36 53 79 3 Arsenal 36 39 72 4 Tottenham 35 26 64 5 Aston Villa 36 16 64 6 Man City 35 27 63 7 Liverpool 36 28 62 8 Everton 36 10 57 9 Birmingham 36 -9 47 10 Sunderland 36 -6 44 11 Blackburn 36 -16 44 12 Fulham 35 -3 43 13 Stoke 35 -11 43 14 Bolton 36 -25 36 15 Wolves 36 -23 35 16 Wigan 36 -34 35 17 West Ham 36 -18 34 18 Hull 36 -41 28 19 Burnley 36 -41 27 20 Portsmouth 36 -33 16
