Cameron actually pointed that out to Miliband on Monday. The policies Labour have been advocating to deal with the economic crisis would effectively be outlawed if we had signed up. The conservative governments in Germany and France have cleverly pushed the leftist parties out into the cold. Will be interesting to see what happens if Sarkozy were to lose the French presidential election next year. Would a left-leaning president try to wriggle out of this accord?

Interesting that the place is still half empty, even for a big debate like this. Where the hell are all our MP's?

Far from it. Our pitch is pretty poor this season. It may look nice, but it's not knitted together at all and cuts up really badly.

Have to say, I'm pretty disappointed with the headliners for 2012. Other are ecstatic though. Tom Petty Friday, Pearl Jam Saturday, Bruce Springsteen Sunday. It'll be like going back in time 20 years. I'd have been happy to see one of those 3 as a Sunday headliner, but to have no contemporary headliner is pretty poor in my eyes. Still, it'll save my wife and I about £600 by not going, so every cloud......

The Isle of Wight has embarked on a scheme to become self-sufficient by 2020: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-15717989

They are matching Apple's own Black Friday price cut today.

The amount of people coming into the country didn't change, it's just that less people left. I'd imagine the amount of people moving to the med for their retirement has dropped considerably since southern europe's economies went down the toilet.

I'd have gone if it wasn't for the bubble. I can't be bothered with all the hassle to get to a ground that I could walk to in 15 minutes.

Lambert plays 90 minutes nearly every game because we don't have anyone else who can perform the same sort of role. It would be nice to be able to take him off and give him a rest every so often. Juke would enable us to do that.

Whistle definitely went. Lambert even looked at the ref as if to say 'can I really take it?' before he shot.

That's clever of them, as we don't even have a membership scheme.......

Old fella who sits in front of me was moaning all match on Tuesday, did my head in.

Why does ebay seem to think it sold for £430 and your first post says it went for £550?

I quite like: His name's De Ridder he's the Knight To The Rhythm Of The Night by Corona. De Ridder is Dutch for the Knight apparently. Need a bit more 90's dance music in the stands.

Bournemouth in their League 2 season a couple of years ago. Went from nearly dropping out of the football league to getting promoted, with a transfer embargo in place the whole time.

I had 2 unused children's season tickets last night. Evening games are too late for little ones.

Bloody annoyed about this. Turns a short stroll up the road to Fratton Park for me into a pointless trek up and down the motorway. Think I'll probably just end up watching on TV now.

It should be remembered that there is a course / book which contains all the information that these questions relate to. So basically it's a test of your ability to learn and remember facts. We are attempting it 'blind'. Having said that, it's a pointless test. I don't see how knowing these things would make you a good citizen.

Middlesbrough are this years Huddersfield. People give too much credence to remaining unbeaten. Too many draws will be their undoing, their matches must be dull. I'd rather watch our 9 goals for and 6 against in September than their 3 goals for and none against.

Appreciate logistically it's not really possible, but I wish they had more latitude around which matches to show extended highlights of so they could actually choose the more exciting games. Leeds Pompey was quite dull. In fact, even before the match I wouldn't have understood why they felt a mid-table clash justified 10 minutes or so of highlights.

How many events do they contractually have to play in anyway? I was under the impression that most of the events apart from the masters series (9 tournaments, best of 3 sets) and the grand slams (5 tournaments, best of 5 sets) were voluntary. So they could have most of the year off if they really wanted. Don't the Williams sisters choose not to play very often (when they are fit)?

Someone had better tell Jack Cork to bugger off then.

We've been bucking the trend for Carling Cup attendances for a few years now, I guess we've just dropped down to the same sort of level as most other teams. I have to say, as a season ticket holder early round cup games have little appeal to me.

Cotterill is making himself look like a right idiot. Just watched the football league show, and Lawrences first booking (which Cotterill said shouldn't have been a yellow) could easily have been a straight red. So could the second one. Steve should be thanking the ref for his player only getting a one match ban rather than the three games he should have got.

I thought he played well. Good presence, nice and strong. Will also give us something extra at the other end of the pitch as well. With Richardson to come in at right back, that defence will do a good job.
