Whataboutery again, Uruguay has nothing to do with this. Italy won the Euros a year ago. Let's say we don't win the World Cup. Would you prefer to be Italy who won the Euros and didn't win the World Cup or England who didn't win either the Euro's or the World Cup?

Bur we didn't win a league title because the season was curtailed before it finished...

So? We got the fan experience of being at the actual tournament. Know which I'd prefer. Give how we utterly failed at qualifying in the 70's do you think that 'fan experience' was good? Rather than losing to the likes of Brazil and Argentina in the finals we could lose to Poland in qualifying...

That's the most tenuous attempt you've made to be right yet. A criteria for qualifying for the tournament was being the current holders. So according to the rules we qualified. As the top teams enter the FA Cup in the 1st/3rd rounds, I assume that as they've not had to do the qualifying or...

I think it's saying wouldn't it have been nicer to have been European and World Champions in the recent past and missed out on getting to the tournament this time. If we end up not winning it (and we don't tend to do well when a tournament is outside Europe) then it's just another let down and...

Sounds great! Now if I can just be bothered with the couple of hours journey to the sea and back...

I've always felt the main point of that was to connect BHX to London so it could work as extra airport capacity for the capital. The northern legs were to convince the north is was for their benefit and get it through. One already gone, I expect the other to follow. At the time I said the £35bn...

Definitely looks better and like a lot of stuff they've done, especially the entrance from near the bridge. I like the frontage of the old station but wasn't much of a fan of it overall. New build looks fine but the two together look a bit odd. Wish they'd integrated the main bus/train stations...

Well, he thinks he did. He held his card up against the pump nozzle. That's how it works isn't it...?

Argument maybe that we need to treat it more like a reserve team and use it to both get first teamers fit and help the youngsters learn?

Shush! You'll wake up Grendel.

But we need more than one first teamer to improve. Need probably 2CB, a LWB and an ACM. Strikers will only change if we get rid of Walker or Waghorn, who would likely be on enough to get in a first team replacement for similar wages.

Good to hear people are now on the mend.

I've tried the earning loads of money - found it totally unfulfilling. As my username suggests, I think we can move beyond this way of living and make life more bearable for more people and so making it a better place to live and getting rid of a lot of the envy and hatred and thus reducing the...

I've not said the Japanese actions weren't utterly despicable. They were, and not just in that conflict. Your argument was that the atomic bombs were justified because they brought about a quicker end to the war (something which is likely true but subjective as to how long it would have gone on...

So are you saying history isn't written and consequences decided by the victors? Also, how do you know it's tripe if only Pete reads it?

Maybe that argument can be made for the first bomb. Once that goes off Japan would have surrendered anyway. The second was overkill. Also, as has been pointed out, it all depends on the victors. Let's say the Japanese/Germans etc had rallied and won the war - do you not think the Amercian's...

Maybe if they claim head injury they have to remain off the pitch for a longer period (say two minutes) unless they get subbed immediately.

Bollocks. You were genuinely trying to point out that Walker would be better than Godden over the season and happily used mpg as a metric to back your argument.

So explain Shipley's inclusion?
