This is sub-schoolboy stuff. Les you need to be saved from yourself. Us remoaners only want to help you pal.

Les crashing out again. Evel Knievel eat your heart out.

Gummy’s got some moves.

Unlikely. If the headbangers in the Conservative party who have nothing economically or philosophically in common with the Labour Brexit vote in the north think winning a second referendum will give them license to indulge their failed libertarian fantasies, they’ll be signing their own electoral death warrant. That alone should check any excesses.

If Brexit goes ahead in the form that jihadists like Les wish, happy to wager my life savings that Scotland will gain independence in our lifetime.

Did you read all of the article Les?

One of my ITK sources, admittedly at the gloomy end of things, thinks that a 3 month extension to prepare for a managed no deal is increasingly likely. Ultimately May will do whatever she can to keep the Conservative Party together -and save getting her deal through Parliament, will run down the clock as it is the least destructive option from the narrow calculus of internal party unity.

guardiola's a c**t.

Loads of them seem to have got canada goose jackets for christmas.

I have a confession pal. When I thought about who would participate in a chant like that, you were literally the first person who came to mind.

Do you know how to make gammon jerky Les? Cook it in some ginger beer or proper drinker’s ale, stick it behind the doors as kippers count down to the magic day and watch the money come rolling in. Guess it beats flushing your money down the toilet to join the tory party. Still it is a tad disturbing that Adam Werrity came up with the exactly same idea. Great minds and all that.

Out of curiosity, how did teams that were ultimately relegated but were not in the bottom 3 after 19 games fare in the second half of the season?

A new Gunn song was actually sung just before that monstrosity which seemed more like a bit of in-group bantz.

Next Les will be telling you that he was privy to your conversation and saying it didn't happen.

Not disputing the role of EU funding or indeed the role of public investment (plenty of which is productive - I'm sure the likes of Guided Missile would agree). Simply pointing out that the flipside of the euro's 'inflexibility' is that it gave poorer countries access to cheaper credit as they saw Germany's economic credibility rub off on themselves. Once upon a time that was considered a good thing; today it is considered a problem. But it can't be both.

Les - you're getting very flustered. Talking about fires, what did you make of Sadiq Khan's firework display?

The inflexibility of the euro without some form of fiscal union is a significant problem; but the issue is far more complicated than some portray (Lord Pony is thick as s**t, so doesn't count). First and trivially, there are always distributional consequences associated with a stronger currency, hurting some groups but benefiting others (i.e. importers and consumers). More fundamentally, countries in Southern Europe weren't complaining when they could attract money from investors in larger amounts and at lower rates than would have been possible if national currencies had persisted -alas rather than being used as a tool for economic catch-up and growth, those large capital flows went to short-term, unproductive uses i.e. speculative housing projects in Spain (and Ireland) and funding lavish public entitlements in Portugal, Greece and Cyprus which may have felt good while it lasted but produced no lasting economic benefit. Finally devaluation may be one route to 'competitiveness' but it is no substitute for tackling deeper structural inefficiencies which plagued these countries well before the introduction of the euro. It is arguably one reason why other poorer countries within the Eurozone e.g. Slovakia, Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia etc. have fared much better, as illustrated by the fact that per capita incomes have converged with their richer eurozone peers.

The latest in the Seaborne saga which has been accused of copying its T&Cs from a takeaway delivery website. https://news.sky.com/story/no-deal-brexit-ferry-contractors-copy-conditions-from-takeaway-website-11597798 And to think the usual clowns and chumps were proudly trumpeting the very same no deal preparations just a few days ago

Not to forget the shove on Luiz as he was about to clear the ball.

Yep their problems are all down to the euro. ...christ you’re thick as s**t.

Some bizarro-cutesy educational jingle for Asian preschoolers that went viral globally. It started at the back of the stand but also spread to the parts of the front too. A proper freak show not least because those who were doing it seemed so satisfied with themselves.

Was that the inspiration for the gunn song? I thought the vertical clapping was bad and weird enough. Seemed to be loads behind me top left doing it and it went on for a while before someone started shouting at them and an uneasy ceasefire ensued with the le tiss song.

Back from the game. Deserved point; if anything, thought we shaded the second half. Armstrong was excellent. Had a burst of acceleration and pace that I didn’t think he possessed. Yoshida and Gunn were also very good. Romeu and JWP battled hard in CM, especially as Chelsea often had an extra body there. JWP, however, was largely poor on the ball as was Valery. We really need reinforcements at the fullback position as Valery is still very raw. Long was Long with some utterly woeful first touches but he unsettled Chelsea more than Ings did and Redmond and Armstrong were much less isolated when Long was on the pitch.
