Is it digital or does it have arms, and is it available from Argos ?

This. And our second bite of the cherry to sort the defence was wasted on Ramirez.

And todays lecture in "How we were nearly out of business 3 years ago, be grateful even if we are playing sh*t" is brought to you none other than Saints boy in Leeds....

You have some issues, it seems. My latest sad little stalker. Better luck than your predecessors.

Does the 30kts requirement stem from the early day of the carrier program when it was not yet clear if they would be CATOBAR ? Such carriers need to go at full-pelt into the wind to get the planes up in the air. Still I would find it an odd notion that a sub would keep pace with a carrier in the middle of launch operations. Nevertheless, not sure I like the idea of new subs being slower than the old subs they are replacing, and the whole idea of mating Vanguard reactors to Trafalgar turbines on a new class of sub does sound sloppy.

Are they really as crap as the Guardian claims ? http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/nov/15/hms-astute-submarine-slow-leaky-rusty

So what should we do with people like Qatada that come to the UK under false pretences and seek to deny some of those rights to those of us who are citizens or have legitimate grounds for being in the UK ? The rest of us have rights too. I can answer that one for you: boot them out.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL at England being royally butt-f**ked by Sweden. Great to see Anders lay up one of the goals.

Is Anders in the squad for them ? I do hope he plays and sticks it to Woy and his Scousers.

Still struggling with Return of the King. Wanted to get through the Trilogy and read The Hobbit in preparation for the film. But Tolkien's books are so hard going that target is looking a bit forlorn...

Save your pity for those predicting up to 10 points.

There are enough countries in the world still willing to trade with us, such as the Commonwealth, NAFTA and emerging economies in the Far East. We dont need the EU, and besides, I beleive I read that in the last couple of months the balance of our exports to EU countries compared to RoW countries fell into negative for the first time in about 30 years. Oh, WTF has this to do with the Empire ?

Thanks andy, Trousers.

Yep, they had a a plan, absorbed our directionless unintelligent pressure, and took us apart like a plastic surgeon working on Katie Price's latest boob job when they had the opportunity. Helped by some moronic yet prophetic defending. Personally, I would argue they are favourites in that game, but there are a couple more games beforehand so maybe we should revisit this thread just prior to the game. Me, I am currently predicting a defeat for us.

Ah. The old "luck" chestnut. Yes, they were lucky that we dont come out to defend at the top of the box and they were lucky that Fonte and Fox have been found out the closer they get to the highest level.

LOL at this garbage. I define "better" as the team who wins - we failed to beat Reading last season. And I explained my reasoning twice, not my problem you are illiterate.

Yes, I dont know why the UK government dont just say "F*ck off, hes going, do your worst European courts"

Why ? This was a good piece, very interesting, and full of praise for the NHS. Perhaps you shouldnt believe the hype about the DM.

How on earth anyone can seriously believe that we were better than Reading last year, especially at SMS, is just brilliant. Much as it annoyed me, McDermott was correct when he said Reading were by far the best team in the division, once the first 7 weeks were excluded. Funny how all our happy-clappies can say now that our first couple of months can be set aside and we can stay up....

Whatever. Argue with yourself. My prediction is that they will beat us - they were better than us last season, and we've gone backwards. I think those of you predicting up to 10 points from 15 considering our record of 5 from 33 are barking...

A chain is as strong as its weakest link, and we have been losing games because of defensive screw ups. Please explain how our defence has improved.

Well Reading beat us last year, for me thats a total non-argument. Theyve not been exactly progressing, but they havent been going backwards like us. Norwich for me have done well past couple of years, and will be better than us on the day. In fact, I am having trouble understanding how anyone can construct an argument that we will beat them.

Fulham and Swansea should have been home-bankers if we had a half-competent team. We wasted both home games. They must have been laughing their tits off.

Not only did the effort to beat them sound triviallised by the brevity of the comment, but "dragged down" ? Somehow that makes it sound like we should be much further up the table and not slumming it.

Jesus, how arrogant are some of our fans ?
