Qué ? I didn't pay too much attention to "Project Fear", as I had little more than contempt for Cameron and Osborne, and I have always viewed Farage as a self-interested and completely untrustworthy, loathsome, chancer.

Well, one group of them are. The fantasists on the other side are saying it's the best outcome.

I know I was lied to, by both sides, which is why I made up my own mind based on my own knowledge and understanding, and decided that to leave the EU was, and still is, a bad idea.

At least we are used to it.

When they moved Sissoko to RB we started to have a lot of success down our left, but after about 15 minutes of the 2nd half we stopped getting in behind him as, time after time, we got level with the penalty area and turned infield and looked back for the pass. As others have said, how much energy did Bertrand expend getting past on the overlap, only to be completely ignored.

Promise ?

Not good enough - predictable, laboured, toothless and clueless in attack. And for those questioning the drop ball near the end, that's the rule; the ball goes to the defending team, uncontested.

If his local bobbies are anything like the Cleveland force, there wouldn't be much point.

Vest off, Valery on, back 4.

Brings a complete lack of pace to the full back position.

A quiet night in the Badger household, as my City supporting wife studiously avoids asking me how the match is going.

But they may be a bit blue.

A lovely example of fluid nationality; Pieter Labuschagne is a South African playing for and captaining Japan, whilst his brother Marnus plays cricket for Australia.

EU saying they are ready for no-deal, pity we aren't.

This post ranks right up there with other classics of yours on the Pompey Takeover thread. A succinct and accurate summary presented in the best tradition of British satirical put-down.

No, only the potentially violent nutters, ( whatever their political affiliation ), are likely to turn out to be so, but it is likely that most, if not all, of that group voted leave, based on the current weight of evidence. A leave result in the referendum was always likely to encourage this sort of activity, so people with such tendencies would have been drawn to it.

Let's make a deal, I'll condemn any Remainers claiming all Brexiteers are 'racists' if you reciprocate for any of 'you lot' calling Remainers 'traitors'.

There will be a bloody riot if somebody tries to make me watch that !

Do you want 'mock' outrage. or would you prefer the genuine article ? The bile and disgraceful tone of our politics, currently, merely encourages the nutters who watch MPs on live TV, snarling and hurling invective, and inciting violent responses by using terms such as 'traitor' and 'Surrender Act'. It doesn't matter which side they are on, and makes we worry about whether we can ever heal the divide that has been exposed in popular opinion. ( Nice bit of digging to find a year old story, )

"The Army and police are investigating after a soldier sent an offensive tweet to Labour MP Angela Rayner. The soldier's Twitter account - which has now been deleted - posted a message swearing at Ms Rayner and saying she "will perish when civil war comes"." "In the tweet, the soldier said: "17.4 million people are gunning for blood if we don't leave"." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49855613

Why did BoJo not stand for the Tory leadership in 2016 ? Who elected Teresa May as leader, rather than a Eurosceptic ? Who blew her majority in the 2017 General Election, meaning that a disproportionate influence on Brexit was handed to the DUP ? Who voted down the WA twice, yet supported it the third time ? Who threw away a workable minority government by ejecting 21 MPs from the party ? Who is to blame for the current mess ?

How many times have you been called a traitor, told that you are "not British any more", or read that you deserve to be strung up by piano wire ?

What is often conveniently overlooked is that the Withdrawal Agreement, ( the 'deal' ), is only a halfway house whilst the final trade agreement and other relationships with the EU are negotiated. Whether you think it is a good or bad deal, is is a path of transition, that prevents a dead fall off the cliff of no-deal. Unravelling 40 years of increasingly tightly bound integration was never going to be a simple overnight process. And I have found something on which I agree with Dominic Cummings - Article 50 should have been delayed.
