I would have played hardball with them and said if we're bailing you out, we're getting control and ownership and you're giving us those shares for nothing. If you don't those shares will be worth nothing anyway. And will be increasing regulation and tightening tax rules. If you don't like the...

Actually there was a 100% guarantee for retail savings at failed banks during the crisis to prevent panic. And aren't we taught to not put all our eggs in one basket? So if you had over £30k in one bank, start using another one and spread your risk and guarantee more of your money. As you're...

Isn't the whole premise of financial systems and capitalism that you let the market decide? So by their own rules if they're going to collapse they should be left to do so and whoever remains gets to fight over the scraps. If that system is going to collapse unless it gets bailed out by another...

Do you not agree there should be accountability? And people had savings of up to £80k guaranteed by the government anyway. And I was far more in treating them as they would in their own sector - dog eat dog. "You're bankrupt, so we offer you nothing. Your other option is go out of business."...

But surely you have to take into account other factors. For example a player might be 6 yards out but have four or five players between him and the goal wheras another time be one on one with the keeper or have an open goal. I guess the idea is that over millions of shots it averages out, but I...

The banking sector says hello.

And many of us were sceptical about what they would do or might achieve. For a lot of us it was more hope than expectation. And this is after only a year. Why did it take Tory voters 14 to realise they were nothing more than incompetent chancers on the take? If anything the argument you're...

A big part of that is the increased burden of social care on local authorities. A higher proportion of the costs have been foisted on them without an appropriate increase in funding while actual demand for it has risen rapidly. There's other factors too of course but if you want to look for a...

Well it is because I'd forgotten he was manager there.

AI remember you.

Stoke away is always likely to be difficult, plus they're riding high to and in some very good form last few games. MR knows most of our players and will be aware of their strengths and weaknesses. He'll be aware that we struggle to break down a solid defensive set-up, and being a naturally...

Looks like Bidwell, Brau, Lati and Andrews all played for the U21's today at home against Peterborough. We lost 2-1.

Ooh, that's viscous.

But arresting, trying and sending people to prison are part of the rules. So if they go out the window if someone commits a crime then we literally can't do anything to them at all.

The game is always in flux. Until recently Pepball was statistically the right way to play, until it stopped working and teams are moving to a counter attack style again. And eventually that won't work either and teams will have to adapt again. if that wasn't the case we wouldn't have all these...

Don't think so. At one point he was playing for the unders pretty much every game, whereas a lot of players drift in and out (either first teamers getting form and fitness or academy players looking to develop) but at the time it was his level. Plus he was the penalty taker at the time.

Musk and his ilk only about the precious.
