Our best players been out for that time though. How many would we have won with Gayle not getting injured?

Err, what the daily mail calls "snowflakes"?...

It's precisely how it's played out. I'm think I'm a natural contrarian by nature, l was fucked if I was going to let Tony Blair get my vote because he had a red rosette on, regardless of my leftish leanings. He was the original "red Tory", it was fuckin blatant. A lot of my mates voted for him though, and a lot of them voted for Brexit. Complelty and utterly manipulated by propaganda. Language has been the first casualty of this "war" .

Interesting piece in Prospect by Nick Cohen. The joke at the bottom fits in well with yesterday's Nordic seafarers gag too http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/posturing-behind-the-people-brexit-trump Edit: Added the link now, yours truly, team special Ps you may have to give them your email

If it can be proved that Trump knew what was going on and that sanctions were being discussed ( I imagine that last bit would be tricky) then it's the new Watergate-gate

Same old story, the powerful need a compliant press and will promise the earth to the likes of Murdoch to achieve it. Unfortunately for Dacre Mrs Trump is suing the mail for saying she used to be a whore

CT IS ABOUT TO MAKE AN INTERVENTION!!!!!! Come on Boldon's Barry White, stop fuckin lurking we want your shit back here!

The last recession gave the arch manipulators like Trump and Farage all the ammunition they needed, in cahoots (in this country) with the vehemently anti EU Dacre and Murdoch publications. Labour need another Blair type without the warmongering tendencies. UKIP will never take even the slightest advantage when they're lead by an Eddie Hitler lookalike who tells more lies than Trump,Spicer and Kellyanne Conway put together. Even though Labour appear to be beyond resuscitation in Scotland they're still only 13 seats short of the Tories. It's not out of the question that they can acheive parity once Brexit (on the face of it) is over in 2018 or so. If the economy in the shit Mrs May could well cop it for taking us out without access to the common market.

Got best at Derby midweek too, Savage chopped Routlegde in half then laughingly admitted he should've been sent off for it in 5live an hour later to his media chums, 'chappers" etc etc Won at Preston one nil midweek too, pissing down, made last night look like Brazil v Italy 1970...ups and downs in a season, who'd have thunk it?

Our "preferred media partner" this morning linking Rafa with a move to Arsenal in the summer to show handball Henry how to put the cones out in preparation for Terry leading Arsenal into the promised land etc etc... Tbf with Rafa appearing to have been fucked over by fatso last month I think he's going to be linked to a whole load of clubs between now and next August.

"False nine" My Everton supporting mate has just txt me asking if Rafa thinks he's managing "Barcelona the fuckin stupid cunt"

It's ex mackem/wolves hair character Don Goodman who's claiming our goal shouldn't have stood isn't it?

Think it depends on how you look at it. Council merely rubber stamps the policies the commission come up with as far as I can make out.

Well the ones who hold the real power in the EU aren't elected, I don't have much of an issue with that myself because as far as I can make out what they rule on doesn't affect me too much. Having said that, it's hardly demorcratic is it? And what do they have in store for us in the long term? Agree with all this mostly, I hear people being complelty dishonest/mis-informed/ blatantly scared out of their wits about immigration daily. I'm likely to be ok yeah, depends if there is a recession on the scale of the last one once we're officially "out" come 2019. I didn't work for four months either side of the Christmas in both 2008 and 2009, with periods of idleness all through both years and well into 2010. That's the reason I voted in, it's as simple as that. I also think ŵe should in general be tearing down barriers as much as we can, fuck the flag wavers, throughout history they've always been bad news. Sadly others are more easily lead.

I don't think my life has been affected by immigration in any way either and I compete for work with immigrants every day in construction/engineering, however I know dozens of people who voted out who you could say the same about. Some of my friends didn't want their kids being held back at school by them being in a class with lots of Eastern European kids in it all trying to learn proper English. I couldn't really tell them they were wrong. Whether it was the case in fact or not they were concerned about it. Add that to the sense of nationhood we're almost all brought up with being manipulated by Farage & co then it was a pretty easy decision for them. They're ordinary folk, not bigots or bar room racists or anything like that. I was a pretty reluctant remainer myself; the EU needed(s) massive reform to make it more democratic and accountable. But in its present form leaving wasn't worth the risk, the benefits of staying in were greater for me, and history and common sense told me that the public face of the leave campaign were people you just really couldn't trust in any way shape or form. But there was one thing I hadn't thought about and Trump getting in has magnified it; the world is changing, there are elections in the Netherlands and France in the next few months, if they both go with the populist anti EU ticket then I don't think the EU will survive in any form, Germany + the rest isn't worth the tears Nichola Sturgeon (among others) will shed over it. Normally I'm against flag wavers of any kind, that cunt Farage is just that, playing on people's fears. But if Brexit is the first break in the dam, if that is just the start of the dismantling of what is now a fairly monstrous bureaucracy then I'm coming round to the thought that it might not be such a bad thing. It might fuck a lot if other smaller nations over, but we'd all be in the same boat.

No doubt you got a good price for the tower from Pawel and Dariusz Do you have any time at all for the opinion that we've had too much immigration?

Very few sides in top level European football play 2 up front nowadays. Rafa never has as far as I can remember. It's not going to happen. I'm enjoying the football in this league, as far as I can make out there are more players who can actually play a bit and more sides trying to play attractive football than the last time we were down here. The thing about it is all the better sides are maddeningly inconsistent, including ourselves. That's because they have decent players who could be good or very good players if they did it 3 games in four for nine months instead of 1 or 2 games in four for 5 or 6 months. That's why they're not playing in the top division tbh.

"high press" - winter break= 7th

Quarter of a century ago today...

Are Blyth full time now? My locals Poole Town went into national south (Blyth go into national north if promoted?) this season as part timers, playing on basically a school playing field. They're on the edge of the play offs into the vanarama but were threatened with relegation if they didn't improve the floodlights and build some sort of terracing. Think they'll miss out "accidentally on purpose" as going into what is basically divi 5 isn't viable as part timers getting crowds of 700 but with a population of 145k, which is ironic at the moment with Bournemouth on the doorstep who could probably get in excess of 20k if they stay in the premier league.

According to solicitors secretary Mrs PL find a solicitor who specialises in personal injury and who will do it on "no win no fee", they'll give you a 30 mins consultation for nothing. Apparently these things take a long time, and harsh as it may seem if "all" your nan suffered was cuts and bruises it may not be worth all the bother in the long run. Maybe go to the water board direct first?

T2, enjoyed it and as others have said it could've been massively disappointing, but I think it may have slightly overdone the references to the first film. It took a lot more from the original book than I was expecting and not a great deal from the second, and I suppose having decided that this film should have a nostalgic narrative, looking back at their youth, that's understandable. Dissappointed Juice Terry didn't make an appearance though
