My real-life pal Adonis has been pointing this out for ages (though I think he’s overegging things as he’s prone to do).

Redmond and Bertrand should have their own tv series.

Very interesting thanks.

If the final deal was the current Chequers proposal, it would still be better than a no deal.

How do you work that one out?

Sounds like a good, old fashioned shakedown. And I thought Brexit was about the UK taking back control, not being so weak that it can be held to ransom by special interests. https://www.ft.com/content/3a2a5598-8d9a-11e8-b639-7680cedcc421

You can put a fork in hesketh. He's done. Not going to make it at this level.

He's knocking on in age. Portuguese midfielders seem much of a muchness. Silva has hardly pulled up trees at Leicester; Cavalrho seems so awkward and immobile despite the hype etc.

What pony. Major inherited a mess from Thatcher -whether it was the recession, the Poll Tax or the party indiscipline and disunity that comes with being in power for so long. Unsurprisingly, many expected a Labour victory or a hung parliament in 1992: to what extent the Conservatives won it (they received the largest number of votes in British electoral history) or Kinnock missed an open goal and lost it for Labour is open to debate. But the fact remains Major did pretty well with a very bad hand of cards.

The jihadists still claiming to know what kind of Brexit 17.4 million people voted for

Point is that we should have had a well above average defence given how conservatively Pellegrino set us up and ready he was to sacrifice our attack to keeping clean sheets. Also odd that there's no mention of VVD who even at 70 or 80% was still our best CB. As for cherrypicking games -every club can point to heavy defeats- you've lost the argument before you've even started there

Surprised you're still showing your face here after embarrassing yourself last season pal It wasn't me that mentioned city's result or put any emphasis on it. I mentioned the squad precisely to underline its irrelevance As I've said before, preseason is meaningless in isolation and is certainly no barometer by which to judge our new signings; but in the context of a side that survived by the skin of its teeth, it's not irrelevant that the same players are making the same glaring errors. That's all.

More chance you discovering your Kenyan birth certificate pal.

Edit

So the fact we entered preseason, having survived by the skin of our teeth and the same players that nearly relegated us look surprise surprise exactly the same is irrelevant? Of course, preseason doesn't matter in isolation. Nobody has claimed that as far as I can tell except morons intent on building lazy strawmen.

Agree. Assuming Hughes persists with the 3 CBs, a big question is what he does with Bertrand. Yoshida Vestergaard Bertrand could be a solution, though would rather see Bertrand play as wingback (arguably wingback with Cedric and Bertrand is the strongest area of the side).

Mentioned "too readily conceding" several times.

Gao randomly kisses a supporter on the head, mistaking them for a member of the squad.

What are your sources saying?

Then you have a comprehension problem because her Florence speech, in particular, foreshadowed many of the compromises to come.

It's a bit more complicated than that pal. Pellegrino set us up to be defensive and difficult to break down -e.g. recall Romeu's comments that the midfield was told not to support the attackers in case of a break. That we still had a below average defense despite all this extra attention and reinforcement speaks volumes. Trusting people like you with 'stats' is like trusting a toddler with a firearm.

Does it?

What we have come up with is the idea of a comprehensive free trade agreement and a comprehensive customs agreement that will deliver the exact same benefits as we have.
