Window Cleaner

Hope he doesn't get addicted to the meds then like Brett Favre and many other QBs.

So then overall majority of 12, who'd have thought it. Take out the speaker, Sinn Fein who don't usually turn up and add on the Ulster Loyalists, makes a decent working majority. Bookies must have minted it again, Cons for most seats was short odds, nigh on every other popular option would have brought them in shedloads of cash.

Perhaps he shouldn't be doing that though, it must be disconcerting for him. Is it right of Koeman to ask him to play every week with that injury in midfield, where he's less effective, when most would agree that Reed might be able to do just as well in that role. I don't know, it seems to be a delicate situation and if any permanent damage should occur due to it Atletico will take us to the cleaners. Presume we've got their OK on that though.

Well perhaps if the 33% or so that couldn't be arsed to vote had voted the result might be different. The Conservatives got 37% or so of the total votes cast, seeing that they didn't get many in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland that's not a bad total.

I didn't get that impression, I got the impression that he thought we weren't good enough against Sunderland, probably because that's what he said. Didn't have good ball possession, probably because we didn't have the man that gives it to us. Victor is a crap passer and Toby...well is he still interested really.

But they're apparently signing Paul-George Ntep from Rennes, good player, probably not all that expensive by UK standards.

Not even John Major in 92 ? Even the opinion polls gave him as losing heavily. It was the Sun what won it, well that and his soapbox..

The result from Luton was on one and not the other I think because it was a very recent result at that time, only the disparity between 324 and 325 can be explained by the speaker.

Me neither. Still not having Labour anywhere near power will mean that my UK investments are not compromised and the £ will still be worth ++++ euros.

You've never seen the like of it in the UK but here in France people who are basically disatisfied with their lot tend to go for an alternative, in our case it's the Front National, they will of course never obtain power in any shape or form but they're an alternative so they appeal to 30% ish of the electorate. When it comes to the crunch though they always fall short because reasonable people always apply the brakes just in time.

Absolutely, when you promise you have to deliver and they didn't so they got the kick up the bum they deserved, they were weak, lost all credibility. People saw that the country is run by one of 2 parties so if you want to vote usefully you might as well vote for one of them, the rest voted for the UKIP..

Apparently they're scientiffically and soundly based, my daughter in law is in theoretical politics, whatever that may mean. Still at least she doesn't design golf courses or have a masters in football supporter technology or something.

Au contraire, just the idea that he'd team up with them to gain power and leave most of the nation at the mercy of a handful of scots probably did for him actually. You cannot have the politics of a nation being decided by 50 odd nouveau venues representing 5% of the electorate.

Is that the harpie that I saw on TV yesterday telling me that the exit polls were no doubt erroneous and that they'd still probably win ?

I very much doubt that that will happen actually, Hollande slashed defence spending you know and then found out that it leaves you right in the crapper and had to go back on nigh on everything he'd done in that direction, like putting the army on street corners to control the rabble that he has himself created by not controlling imigration, letting convicted criminals wander about unchecked and not giving out the bucket loads of handsout that he promised.. Then again he's an idiot..

The BBC obviously credit an "other" to the conservatives, probably the speaker.

I suspect that a lot of Lib-Dem votes went to the other weird and wonderful formations, promising no end of stuff and of course never being in a position to deliver on any of it.

I think some of them seriously thought that their favourites would gain power in some way or other. To all of those I'd say the same as Osborne yesterday, look at the mess that the idiot Holland has made in France and count yourselves lucky, at least you won't have the army on street corners to watch over the lunatic fringe.

Apparently we've had no serious offers either...if you believe the Daily Star that is, perhaps it's just an old Koeman quote being recycled by the European Press.

Because then it becomes a government of national unity and not a coalition, trouble is it usually disunifies at the first sign of something that someone doesn't care for, usually after about a week.

I didn't forget Manchester City, I didn't know that Hart came from Shrewsbury Town at the age of 17 or 18 that's all.

Might not get another work permit, don't think he's a Brazil regular and thus would fall foul of the new criteria. Players such as he will have to stay put or go abroad.

Not at all sure about that. Seems to be a difference between first team football and non-first team football as far as suspensions are concerned. Doesn't show up anywhere on the FA Suspensions list or the Awaiting Suspensions list.

What about Fonte...doesn't he count ?

Perhaps but what I can't seize off the bat is why we're (reportedly) looking at players like Vilhena if our own academy products of the same age are as good or better. Vilhena is what 20, 80 odd first team games at a no doubt inferior level to the PL but would be serious competition for say Gape or Hesketh surely. In fact when you tot it up we are the top 8 side who have the least academy player minutes in the PL this season. The academy is much vaunted but we really need to start seeing some results that aren't sold after 1 good season.
