I’d rather live with Jeremy Corbyn’s gentle dithering in pursuit of a better world than give May a mandate to destroy what remains of British decency https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/apr/25/vote-labour-jeremy-corbyn-theresa-may?CMP=share_btn_tw

I agree with you and C B Fry who would want to be a football manager when decisions have to be made

I went with a Man City friend to Wembley yesterday Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had a fine game and was MOM. Theo Walcott was an unused Sub and like most of our 'defectors' has not progressed to be a really top player but they have all earned obscene amounts of money and played before large crowds and I cannot blame them moving from St Mary's

Me too

Boufal has not proved to be a very good PL player so far not sure how you think it is because Puel does not have the personality to really handle Boufal and get the best out of him More likely Boufal does not have the personality to knuckle down and perform like Yoshi Bertrand Oscar VVD Romeu and Redmond have done

Think we probably would have won if Fidel played the whole game But draw with the Champions is not a bad result we are currently second in the Table

If we get relegated next season and they get promoted we would be playing them in 2018

UK inflation is only going one way. Let's hope interest rates don't follow

21 years ago yesterday was my 50th birthday I remember the game well as we were driving back from the Peak District and I listen to it in the car One of our best PL wins of all time.

I dont really understand how you could possibly vote in the referendum if did not understand the ramifications of leaving but just listened to the hype of lying politicans. Leaving the EU is going to cause so many problems as it is so complicated and is very unlikely to show any tangible benefits for most of the population especially if the UK leaves the single market

Reality from Richard Murphy answering one of Batman's valid points One, disastrous, feature of the Reman campaign last year was the claim that if the UK voted leave then the country would require an immediate emergency budget because it would go into immediate recession. This, of course did not happen because Osborne was dumped for saying it. And the downturn did not seem to appear. Until now that is. As the FT reported yesterday, retail sales excluding food fell in the first quarter of this year. And as the Guardian reported, despite supposed record levels of UK employment (about which claim I am dubious anyway) there was a fall in real wages last month, which is a trend set to continue because of current inflation rates. Now I know that technically this does not create a recession but for most people these are the factors that matter, and as a result economic bad news has arrived, but nine or so months later than George Osborne thought. Osborne’s error was significant. It undermined the credibility of the Remain campaign because no one really thought the roof would fall in on June 24 last year. After all, a small majority were elated by the result and of course they felt good and so went spending. The failed prediction then let Brexiteers suggest that Leave was already a success. That was as untrue as Osborne’s claim. Of course Brexit was not proved a success by what happened last summer: Brexit has still not happened. The error was in basic economics and is telling. It tells us that the Treasury still clings to pure market theory. This says that people are rational and perfectly predict the consequences of the future in their current behaviour. So, the Treasury assumed people would know last June that the decision the UK had made would have poor long term consequences and people would immediately react by stopping spending and investment, so sending the UK into an immediate economic downturn. Wiser economists, not so taken with a theory that is so obviously far-removed from observable human behaviour, realise that this is not what happens in the real world. People rarely shudder to economic halts. They do instead take time to process and react to new information. In this case at least six months was required to get to the reaction, and now we can see it. The uncertainty of our current situation, coupled with the reaction to a falling pound, has created lower income and consumer uncertainty. It will take something pretty staggering in economic terms to change either of those situations in the rest of this year. Brexit may not have happened as yet. It may not happen still. But its economic impact has arrived. If people don’t like that life for the Brexiteers is just about together a lot tougher. As Philip Hammond put it, no one voted Brexit to be worse off. But people are just discovering that is what they got. And I’ll say with some confidence that many won’t like it. May’s honeymoon is well and truly over.

I dont think he is patronising you at all I just think he is saying you are talking Bollix which is probably true because there are varying degrees of severity of all injuries and varying times for players to recover from them

gareth Berg finishes it off with a six a great win by 4 wickets

Really pleased with what I thought was an unexpected win. Looking forward to next season especially if we can keep everybody we dont get so many injuries to key players and get in some new players

I dont think you understand what sponsorship is all about

I will be surprised if we get any points today

BBC text suggested that they were both penalties

Perhaps I should have said he list of negative effects of Brexit keeps getting longer and longer by the day, and there are no known benefits at moment

Brexit seems to be a complete load of ****.

I voted in and know we are heading down the wrong frog and toad

By Lefties do you mean reasonable people as opposed to Xenophobic Knobs

Well we are going to be bought by foreign owners are we not. Pretty stupid thread

It is a Derby but not to some arrogant supporters

Without supporting any of the dreadful acts of violence McGuinness or the IRA were involved in I think people need to inform themselves why these people were driven to such extremeties in the first instance. Catholics were treated like dirt in NI and if an army of an occupying state murdered innocent civil rights marchers in your home town ask yourself how you would have responded?

Yes tears from me I grew to like him a lot as I followed him on Twitter. Of course I am aware of what he did, and what the IRA were responsible for but from that background it makes it even more impressive he became the political figure that he did. There was so much poverty and discrimination in NI in the 1960s which unfortunately led to the troubles and violence Shame he was a Man U supporter but like me enjoyed following Rugby and Cricket I can understand how he is reviled in some quarters but intolerance is never the way forward.
