Its beginning to sound like the prison guards actually did it, from what I've read this morning. Medals all round, chaps. I hope some big hairy sweaty-arsed bloke called Dellilah turns his attention on him too.

My favourite, favourite plane of all time. Gutted that you have to go to the US to see the only flying survivor (but at least there is now one, after a 13 year hiatus), though rumour has it that KA114 is up for sale already. Really sad I wont get to see this programme - anyone got a DVD recorder and is willing to post me a DVD ? I will pay costs. I cant watch the first 10minutes of 633 Squadron when they come back over the airfield without a stiffy..

Whoever MP thinks is needed and can do the job expected of him.

Gut feeling, thats all.

This. He simply is not going to get his head round the English game. Get shot of urgently while there is a chance to bring in someone else.

Cobblers. You and others are over-analysing (with or without an agenda, I cannot say which...) Cant you accept that after the protracted transfer, some us are simply massively disappointed with what was delivered ?

Of course. Fine by me. Can you also accept that in the meantime some of us in these parts simply dont rate him, and are entitled to do so ?

Lets see how much we get for him when the penny finally drops for both sides at the club.

You gotta love these "Looook at meeeeee" posts. As if anyone gives a sh*t...

Jesus wept, you have a problem...

Depends how you define "worst". I use value-for-money. Seeing as he was our most expensive player up until last season....by far.....the bar for value-for-money was much higher for him.

Playing the man and not the ball again ? How very unlike you.....

Ramirez will go down in our history as our worst transfer, possibly since Delgado, possibly ever. I have very low expectations from him this season.

My version In its own class Rickie Lambert Good Transfers Artur Boruc Maya Yoshida Nathaniel Clyne Jay Rodriguez Jack Cork Billy Sharp Ambivalent Transfers Goolie Steven Davis Richard Chaplow Danny Fox Bad Transfers Emmanuel Mayuka Tadanari Lee Steve de Ridder Jonathan Forte Dany N'Guessan Vegard Forren Gastón Ramírez TBC Victor Wanyama Dejan Lovren Paulo Gazzaniga I agree about the frustration; I think we are 3 or 4 players short. Would love to know where the problem lies; wouldnt be surprised if it is something to do with our negotiation strategy.

I'll go further.... The fact that the report conclusions didnt deliver the LibDem agenda (unilateral disarmament, or as a sop to the sane elements of the population, a cheapo nuke cruise missile strategy based on existing SSNs) and that the best they have been able to come up with to save face is the two-boat non-CASD non-warhead proposal, despite months of holding back publication, just goes to show how intellectually- and integrity-bankrupt the LibDem party really is. They are totally unfit-for-purpose as a serious coallition partner, and are just getting in the way of real Government business.

Yep.

What planet is Woy Hodgson on ??? Now he has waded in and said that likkle Wayne must get the deal he wants wherever he wants or he wont perform for England in the World Cup qualifiers and finals. Well, if he thinks our fortune is all down to how Wayne and Waynetta Slob feel about their lives, it really is time to fire him and find someone else to actually do the job properly. Does he even realise there are 20 or 30 other English players in the PL champing at the bit and capable of performing better for England than this current rabble ?

Maybe most people just think the LibDem attitude is garbage.

Start as you left off, eh ?

I like this post; it makes an important point. The fact that a report pushed-for by the LibDems has come out with such a clear message for a 4-boat CASD system means that somehow the conclusion is above the norms of politcal skewing, as you wrote, and must be viewed as cold-clear fact. My oh my, the LibDems must be furious in private...probably why publication was late, so they could try (and fail) to come up with and alternative not covered (the mental two-boat without-warhead proposal)....

Indeed, lets hope he doesnt go the whole hog and does another Gazza.

What are you expecting from my responses ? I actually believe I replied to the whole of your post. Look, deal with the fact that the LibDem leadership didnt get the conclusions they were expecting from this review and are making ridiculous suggestions/outbursts to the media as a last resort or pride salvation thing.

Your mistake..... Whether I am blustering or indulging in hyperbole is a moot point; the whole exercise has been a f**king embarassment for the LibDems and that fat ginger tw*t in particular. Its clear there is no sensible third way; its unilateral disarmament or like-for-like replacement; the evidence from an agenda-driven pre-loaded LibDem commissioned report even states this.

Agree. IMO the main role of HM Armed Forces is to protect the UK and its Overseas Territories/Friends. Not to peacemake in places like Libya, Syria and FYR, and not to bring about regime change (Iraq and Afghanistan) Therefore I consider the SDSR was right about the army, but too severe on the RAF and Navy.
