If that were the case pretty much every development in every city outside of London (and even most of those in London) would be guilty of being state aid.

It's this kind of thing that really goes against your assertions on who's to blame for the stadium issue, despite claiming to be impartial and all sides are to blame. Of course the council needs to be held accountable for its actions and to be monitored closely, but you seem to be very keen to...

When this plan was first put through I contacted them saying it was far too big and had too many offices to be filled. I'm not sure if the council would've legally been able to block it on those grounds though. If they had someone would've been complaining about a lack of council ambition and...

The thing with the state pension was it wasn't put in as a means of people 'enjoying retirement'. It was supposedly largely a safety net for those who'd lived a longer than average life but would most likely no longer be able to work. This was at a time when far more people had physical jobs...

Like I say seems very unfair he was even put on out on the left. Really not suited to the position anyway and coming back from a major knee injury lets put him in a position that requires sharp turns and twists. He may as well bollock the ball boy for not making a decent half time brew! OK...

No, but if we'd have been bowling with a full compliment of bowlers then they'd have been fresher and it's less likely that Aus could have taken advantage of that 2nd innings. Apart from Smith they've batted extremely poorly too and their openers are as bad, if not worse, than ours so far...

As Tony says, this is also what May did. At the time she was lauded as being firm in her negotiatons. How do you know he'll follow through with it? We won't know until 1st November. It's not like Alexander has ever said something and then quickly changed his mind.... At least May was doing...

Imagine if we'd played him instead of an unfit Anderson at Edgbaston? I think we'd have had a really good chance of winning that test. Decision to play Anderson first test may well cost us the Ashes.

I disagree. He's 16, not on a pro contract and only became a full time scholar in the summer. N'Gandu was pushed forward into the U18 and U23 earlier than this lad was. Let's give him time to develop. If Max was dropped for his performance when he was shoved on to play on the left, a role...

I get your point but for me I use the term pasting in terms of a one-sided scoreline.

Apparently he got a headache last night and deteriorated overnight. Given where the ball hit him and how fast, with the Phil Hughes tragedy in a way it's a relief it wasn't much worse. But when he came back out he didn't seem to be acting in his 'normal' manner. With Smith, giving how much he...

This is the first time it's been used as far as I know. I think it was brought in so that players/teams didn't try to carry on when they shouldn't.

Who put forward a deal that your current hero Alexander voted for at one point. Alexander himself was pro-EU and wrote articles as such and only changed sides because he saw the chance to create a power vacuum giving him a route to be PM. Alexander doesn't give a fuck about being in or out of...

I left my last job after working my notice period. Are you telling me I still work for them? If so I've got a lot of hours to catch up on. And they own me a lot of backpay.

I think we need to play to focus more on our strengths than the fact it's Portsmouth, otherwise we run the risk of creating our own problems by playing to them. Then it becomes about if we can take our chances IMO. Far too often in the past we've looked to negate an opponent rather than play to...

McCallum's still 18. Mason is 21.

Rovers apparently didn't have a shot on target so it would've been quite a feat to concede. However, I swear Marosi had to make one save.

Southend also took a pasting yesterday. But we have beaten what's been put in front of us apart from a referee so we've done what was needed so far.

But if they're going to put that test in place what's the point if they just wave it through and only actually properly look into it when it goes tits up and it's too late. Either get rid of the test and say it's up to the owners of a business to decide who they sell to, or conduct the...

We've got loads of depth at CM! Kelly Allen Westbrooke Shipley Eccles Maycock Bosma Bartlett + we've just signed a lad called Young but I think he's more of an attacking midfielder. Maybe you could argue we could do with a bit more quality and a few of those could do with being moved on, but...
