I didnt understand it at the time but am more sure than Rayvin is in thinking Blair was pretty much the ultimate neo liberal. Its why he was close with Bush and why Obama was on good terms with Cameron, theyre all tied in to this massive shift of public money into the private sector and also willing to go into massive debt both to corporate institutions and foreign powers eg China.

In a lot of ways am a natural labour voter but as ive got older Ive realised some things about myself; one, Ive always had a deep mistrust of idealogies and those who espouse them and two, am a fairly natural fence sitter in general. Add that to a fairly strong current of Liberalism in my old mans family (my gran was present at Jedburgh town hall when David Steele was first elected, 1966 I think?) then its fairly easy to see which way Ive mostly voted. I really liked Charles Kennedy, but I voted Labour in 92 & the last two GEs. Blair turned me off complelty as a person, Im fairly happy to say I saw through him straight away, but I understood completly why he could win most fair minded Labour folk such as yourself and the whole country over. Thing is CT is a blatant tory, but many of them were sedeuced too and its my opinion that theyre the ones who complain most loudly about him now when they were utterly complicit in putting him into power. Theyre also the ones who bang on about Brown selling the gold etc etc whilst not uttering a dicky bird about what the likes of HMHM's wife and Happy Face's brother have been through under the tories.

I can sit here and say with a clear concience that i never voted for Tony Blair. Can you? For the record I think you're just the sort of empty vessel that was initially taken in by him.

Patel plainly bought and paid for by the Israel lobby, seemingly with the complicit approval of the PM who orders her minister to take one for the team. I keep being surprised as to how utterly horrific this shower are but thats very quickly replaced by a feeling of depression at how Labour cant summon the ability to drive the fuckers out

Plainly coming here once Amanda & the Arabs start their residency on Barrack Road

Oh and there you are Am not joking, it happend. Youve all been warned

I shouldve screen shot the massive BANNED (SO YOU ARE) that appeared on my phone about 10am this morning whilst trying to log on to this esteemd forum. Reckon some wisearse in belfast councils IT bunker was having a fuckin laugh

Similarities between us and West Ham....owners from a retail background, players being brought in for the manager by others, 4 million net spend in the last window. Didnt realise that when fat sam left they just didnt renew his contract when it ended, Bilic is in the last year of his and wouldve been gone in May anyway. Moyes is a fuckin hopeless appointment, theyd be better off with Redknapp till the end of the season but he splits opinion with Hammers, he stabbed Billy Bonds in the back to get the WH job in the 90s.

I was sat watching the news this morning and they cut to Trump and he said, and i dont know why I was surprised, " who could have foreseen this happening?"

Hes at a shop window club in the most popular league on the planet. The Pozzos will be wanting to sell him on to a champions league club for tens of millions in the next 18 months. It's working for Watford at the moment but it's unlikely to go their way long term iyam.

Couldnt be arsed with the rest of his fuckin nonsense. But if he's over 18 he's fuckin tragic.

Sounds like you think you're entitled to "follow" a winning football team because you get up early? That's just bizarre

Just singling out the particularly bad bits from one of the worst forum posts I've had the mispleasure of reading since the advent of wireless broadband. The club, in spite of Ashley, is slowly moving forward and you're advocating a twitter onslaught on one of our seemingly grossly overpaid players? I'm not sure if frustration over a poor performance just makes people appear phenomenally fuckin stupid or whether they achieved that state some time ago

Mike Basset tastic "FOUR FOUR FOOKIN TWO"

Aye Napoli have got to go to Doneskt and win, then hope city beat Shakatak in the last game. Far from nailed on... I couldn't stand the thought of watching spurs beating Real in front of 80k+ at Wembley. I respect Pochettino and his players but the whole club remain cunts iiyam

City have basically toyed with a very good Napoli, who have definetly had their moments,. City are just playing keep ball at the moment 2-3. Strangely 2 of city's goals were headers from corners...they just look so fit and keen to keep passing and moving late on in games.

No real regrets....although my mind quite often wanders to the day when my English teacher (also careers/FE advisor for our year) asked me for a word; I'd handed in a couple of essays the week before and she'd marked them..."Robert your work is consistently excellent, I really do advise you to sit Higher English and apply to Edinburgh University, do Eng. Lit. etc etc..." I got an A for my O Grade so it was a distinct possibility, but my only ambition was to earn enough money to got to St James every other week to watch Pedro and Gazza. Which is what I did. I've had a fuckin great life tbh, nothing properly bad has ever happened, but I do wonder what 3 years of state sponsored shagging and drinking at an institution of international renown in the free and easy mid-late 80s would've been like, and how things would've turned out career wise...

He's not resigned just for trying his luck with Julia Hartley Brewer....more to come? Its fairly clear to see the way Westminster works... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-41834699/pmqs-lisa-nandy-warned-theresa-may-about-whips

No one from safc is speaking to the press tonight....if he goes it'll be a shame, but where they'd find someone decent enough to keep them up and would actually even consider taking the job fuck knows

This is a good point....why isnt anybody asking Farage these questions?? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/oct/28/trump-assange-bannon-farage-bound-together-in-unholy-alliance

Were about as good as anyone else in this division outside the 5/6 usual suspects. I frankly dont know what people think theyre watching when they see Burnley, west brom, southampton, stoke etc etc. Were no better and no worse on a fraction of what theyve spent in the last 5 years. Our work ethic will just about keep us up and thats it. Am complelty in board with it because of Rafa and id say that for me its obvious hes the only thing thats moved the club forward and kept us from the start of the road that the mackems are now 3/4 down. To the whingers id say have some fuckin patience for fucks sakes and stop trying to think we can run before we can walk

What did you make of similar tiny budget Burnley?
