    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Here we go again, the old 'vile' chestnut. It's not vile to work within constraints to do the best for the country that is feasible; to reduce tax for the lowest paid; to create an environment which creates jobs and opportunities. It's certainly very different from your views on how to...

    Goal of the Month

    What a game that must have been versus Luton. Who'd have thought that all three of the goals would make the Goal of the Month shortlist?

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Come on Iain. We all now they *said* it was costed but it was completely mad and unrealistic. None of the nationalisations were costed. They assumed that all they had to do was ask companies and wealthy people to pay more tax and they would cough up - as if tax rates and tax take is linear...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    NHS Boss in request for more money for NHS shocker. In other news, Pope wants more people to become Catholics and Mrs. May wants people to vote Conservative.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Tone, I'm not replying to you because it's pointless, not because I think you are right. My original point was to point out the absurdity of your inference that spending on the nhs would not increase. You have accepted the point.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    What are the chances of increased spending on the NHS at some time in the future after the UK has left the EU? Pretty much close to 100% I'd say. Remember that we are presently in a state of austerity. As growth gathers pace; as the deficit continues to fall; as we no longer have to send £££s...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    There was no context in the question, so the opportunity and how much it was are hypothetical. I'm simply showing that 70% of Labour supporters disagree with the Queen investing offshore (without any details on exactly what is going on), but would not decline to engage in a hypothetical...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I occasionally look at the surveys on YouGov. There are two interesting stats from recent surveys. 70% of Labour voters believe it is unacceptable for the Queen to have money invested off-shore, even if it is within the law. 31% of Labour voters say that if they themselves were introduced to...

    James Maddison sell on clause? Bid from WEST HAM

    If he's loaned out he is developing... except he's also earning £££s. He's a young lad, I suspect he quite enjoys moving around the country.

    FA Cup Draw - Tonight - 7PM

    I assume that these are each discreet prizes (so if we win the second round we get £18k + £27k = £45k in total? What's going on with the semi-final/final losers categories? As they have prizes for quarter final winners, they could have just said that 1/4 final winners get £810k and semi final...

    I'd be different to Kelly too, had I played. It's comforting to know I'd have scored a 7 on that basis.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Had they been receptive, I'd have rather stayed too. Leaving is a last resort due to their intransigence.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    If the majority in Northern Ireland and Eire wanted a united Ireland then of course that would be the right thing to do and I cannot believe that the UK would stand in their way. However, in NI, just 3.8% want to be united with Eire. I'm sure there were more in the 70s, but the vast majority...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I'm amazed that there aren't more of these old news stories coming out. If the Tories have any sense they have people finding them; he's certainly had an interesting past - and he's hiding his true intentions to the electorate and attempting to sound moderate. I saw an interesting interview...

    Clean Sheet Statistic

    So we are agreed that we need world class strikers and midfielders? As luck would have it, I'm playing poker this evening. Will send the funds over first thing tomorrow.
