  1. Need a Chelsea side on the beach to hold Liverpool up. FFS
  2. Nice goal for Arsenal. It's been coming
  3. I can't see wanyama going to Arsenal. Coqellin is decent and el neny looks good also Welbeck might miss the plane to the euros here
  4. this is only tip of the iceberg. Incredible how anyone can be so pro EU.
  5. cracking game already
  6. any highlights/goals available?
  7. would just love an arsenal win today. LOVE IT
  8. Any highlights online?
  9. Tits. Just in the car on way back from Cornwall. Just seen the score lol Talksport raving about Long. Saying he caused mayhem Is their MoM So, no idea how the game went. Love this result
  10. Spurs will not sell Kane, Dier, Toby, Vertonghen, Alli, Demebele or let Poch go
  11. we have two nuclear sites as strategically, have one is not good. Also, the investment in the local areas is vast (jobs, security etc). the RN could probably have just 1 dockyard now given the size but that would be political suicide for any government. You could probably disband the RAF as the RN and the Army could easily take it on. but that will never happen. I never said there would not be an expense. But had Scotland voted yes, it was very much do-able. Obviously at cost but nothing is free when you move
  12. any danger the BBC can retire Motson?
  13. if Guan says Vic is going. you have to take it as the likely scenario. Not that it was not obvious anyway Mane will be the interesting one
  14. there are 12 decommissioned subs in devonport. 8 of which are still fuelled there are 7 in Rosyth. None of which are fuelled. Where they are in Devonport, there is oodles of space and they will take the remaining T-class SSNs. There is loads of space as none of that area is really used due to the RN being as small as it is. you keep talking about over-crowding. But devonport is huge. Despite the MoD selling off parts of the old south yard to housing companies and boat builders, it still remains the biggest Naval base in NATO (outside of the USA) and Europe (outside of a Russian one) Source - a very good friend who works in the disposal group and me working there for over 16 years anyway, this is way off course from the OP
  15. Being over 30. This song IS FOOTBALL to me. amazing
  16. why would they need to be housed in a refit complex. without the weapons loaded, they are just like an SSN. They are not kept in a refit complex in faslane. you say devonport would be crowded, you do realise it is still the largest naval base in Europe and the RN itself is now a shadow of its former self and the dockyard can handle a huge number of vessels compared to what it does today. As for the weapons facilities, they would not need to be in plymouth, or even near plymouth. They would be moved at a huge cost, granted. but lets not pretend it is impossible. the main reason Faslane was chosen in the 1960s (over falmouth) was because of the poor weather and heavy cloud cover. At the time, that provided some protection from Soviet spy satellites. Which of course is redundant now. of course, this was all central in the referendum debate up there because that base is set to grow and already provides vast amounts to the local economy and the No side played up to that
  17. Why would there need to be a reconstruction of faslane for 3x submarines to be berthed alongside in Plymouth? The naval base in Plymouth is a lot bigger than the Clyde and is a full nuclear licensed site Plymouth already has 1 v-class permanently housed and has plenty of room for 2 more. There are enough X-berths (nuclear) in Plymouth to cater for all the Astute/trafalgar class on top of that.
  18. ok, i live in the city. read/heard/spoke/lived it. but you carry on. the only thing would need would be to relocated is Coulport. that would not even need to be in plymouth..or in the southwest. or even in England
  19. also, had Scotland voted yes. Pompey ship builders were still very suitably qualified to produce the nations warships. Pretty obvious it was honed to the Clyde to please the moaning jocks Submarines are not produced in Scotland and the new carriers are all but done
  20. was pretty unanimous from the council/dockyard/and the local media had all sorts of pieces on it. pretty unanimous. Which was a surprise given the massive hot potato it is
  21. probably because this story/rumour is fantasy of SaintsWeb
  22. dont think he was the 1-man transfer committee at Liverpool
  23. actually CEC, the city of plymouth publicly announced they would welcome Trident had Scotland voted yes
  24. new direction is Brendan Rogers. Heard it here first
