A white horse walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The barman says, "That's amazing, we have a drink named after you." "Wow" says the horse, "You have a drink called Dobbin?"

Where do you draw the line with fairness and impartiality though? Would we give Hitler an easy ride now? There is something very nasty about Ukip. Farage is trying to put a gloss over it all but at the end of the day we all know what Ukip is all about. People need to know what they are voting for if they vote for Ukip.

I remember a non playing football presenter recently saying how much he learned by listening to ex pros talking about the game and about how they saw things that he didn't. If they say we played well, we played well. The doomsayers on here always come on and b*tch when we lose. There is a find line between success and failure, a few inches here and there. Teams like Chelsea have that bit extra to make that difference. We have done brilliantly this season and have only really looked very poor against City and Sheffield United. I have been very proud of the club this season.

Precisely. Most of us would have given our right arm for the season we have had after so many changes last summer. We were never going to win every game but the way some players (and even the manager sometimes) get pilloried after a loss is appalling. Pelle was not lucky earlier in the season. He scores at the highest level and has shown he can play. When we lose we rarely get played off the park. We are a decent side and worth our place in the league. Yes, there are failings - same with every side. If we build well and learn from this season for next I am more than happy with the way things are going.

This would be Ronald Koeman would it? One of the best players of his generation and a pretty good manager. Looks like he needs to read an internet forum to find out how to do his job. If he is so clueless, how did he keep us in the top 4 for so long?

So Liverpool were not remotely worried about United, City, Arsenal, Tottenham etc? It really doesnt work like that.

We are good losers aren't we? There were 10 other players on the park today. They all have to share the blame.

Would you risk playing him for a few minutes this season or wait until next season and give him more time to get back to proper fitness levels?

My sample was taken from a relatively small group of people and things I have picked up from the media but as you live there and experience it first hand I defer to your perception. Perhaps its just the people in Seattle?

What happened to the jokes?

JWP has bags of potential. I think he will be a key player for us in years to come.

Sarnia, have already answered the Thatcher point, but in relation to how Canadians feel and Americans and vice versa, if you tell me you are best buddies, ok. But I have spent time in Seattle and Connecticut and also have friends in Canada and the impression I get is that there is no love lost across the border. In fact you come across to me as more American than Canadian (no offence meant).

To be fair they did shoot someone who was throwing rocks. Fair game.

Yes Sarnia we did vote in Thatcher, and no matter what you think of her, she was certainly no idiot. I am glad that you understand that we are a democracy and that the Queen is just head of state with no power. I would say though that the difference between us is that the people we vote in could go for a drive with the top down or enjoy a night out at the theatre without their day being spoiled big time by someone with a gun. (with the hon. exception of Perceval, granted).
