I still think there's a fair chance of a deal, but it will depend on Tory MPs outside the major cities letting their heads rule their career ambitions.

Frankie Boyle's column the guardian wouldn't print for the jokes about, of all people, Rupert Murdoch

It's gone a bit under the radar all this, there's been a bit in the media but it's not made major headlines. Any idea which way your colleagues think it will go?

May has already read page one of "negotiatioting- a bell end's guide" and stated that she's willing to walk away with no deal and just leave in 2019, which is what most folk who voted out want and expect. I think the lords this week will send it back to the commons with a clause inserted guaranteeing the status of EU nationals already here. After that it gets interesting, will the other bunch of goons remove it again? I don't think there's any guarantees on that like, and for me that's the crux, do we have a stone cold rule on basically making over 3 million people currently residing in the uk no longer legally entitlied to live and work here or do we continue to be a modern fully functioning society? Will they compromise and do a deal on workers in say the financial sector and maybe construction? I've just finished a big project at one of Barclays main uk HQs, and it's made me think a lot. The two main languages outside of English I heard in the corridors were French and Spanish, and obviously being a major construction project there were lots of Polish lads. MPs know all this, but are they too scared of de selection to fudge it?..

no one, and I repeat no one, is ever allowed to criticise MSM......apart from Rayvin, obvs Apparently this fellah is a good journo, criticises both sides when required, been on fox for years.. https://youtu.be/-TfqTHlMszA

Any Radcliffe & Maconie "chain" aficionados out there?.... http://www.thechain.uk/ This was on it today, afrobeat-tastic

We played 7 in February 2010 iirc It's the championship, it's a right old slog...

Largely agree, but Wenger built a new stadium in that time though. No Wenger 96-06, no Emirates. And I still go back to the squad who got to the champions league final in 2006, I think 7 or 8 of them left or finished within the next year. Most have never been properly replaced. Most it could be argued were world class; Bergkamp, Henry, Pires, Cole, Campbell, Silva.. I suppose Wenger gets the blame for that but I can't remember as man top quality players all leaving together. Almost impossible job to replace adequately and still pay for the stadium. He's kept them in the top four in that time mind, that alone is a fair achievement. Thing is, when you pay the highest ticket prices in Europe and nothing much changes on the pitch for a decade, something has to give..

Wenger is in a pretty unique position, it's different to when Fergie was finishing at Manu as porridge chops was still winning titles. I can't work out if the media in general confer a sense of entitlement on Arsenal or the absolute fuckin whoppers among their support just expect success as a matter of course (tbf, they have won 13 league titles) Thing is a new manager doesn't guarantee a thing, and looking at the squad there is a fair chance their best players will leave with Wenger should he knock it on the head tin May, chiefly Sanchez and Ozil, who'd want to come in and the first job in the in tray is replacing them? Then there's the drift an announcement pre May would cause should they get a candidate lined up in the next few months.

He's always struck me as someone who likes hanging out with the powerful. I remember the extracts from his diaries in the press; "I told Tony and Cherie." etc etc what the fuck was he doing socialising with the prime minister? Then he appears on Trumps tv show (again, he's a journalist, what the fuck is he playing at here?) and now he's attacking the reaction to Trumps election win, appearing as an apologist for the man who, by all appearances, got into bed with the Putin regime in order to win.

Lascelles was out muscled for both their goals by Cameron Jerome, who's probably played over 100 premier league games. Lascelles has played barely 20. He's still learning the game tbh. Looks like overall we played pretty well, tbh before the weekend I'd have taken four points from the 2 games. Brighton aren't playing that well, Reading and Huddersfield are being a bit more consistent at the moment than them. If we win our next two home games and avoid defeat at the 3 away games at the end of Feb/beginning of March, I think we'll be looking good.

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.
