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

    The more I think about the border issue the harder I find it to see a solution. What are the options? ROI leaves the EU and joins the UK - no chance NI leaves the UK and remains in the EU - I'm far from an expert on Irish politics but surely no chance, especially in the short term Hard border...

    And here was me thinking the whole purpose of referees was to play it by the book and enforce the rules.

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

    Technically no but in practice yes it would. The Tories would have a minority government so would struggle to pass anything in parliament. They would really have no other choice than to call an election unless they can find someone else to go in with them.

    Fa Cup Draw Thread

    On their forum they're working out how many tickets we have to give them because they expect them to be in demand. We're moaning about a shit draw and half empty ground. You'd think we were there PL team and they were the ones getting excited about playing a team with some big names. Not...

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

    TUV talking about the deal on the Irish border being a "a stepping stone to a united Ireland" and talking of NI remaining in the EU. Surely that's just wishful thinking on his part.

    Ashes 17/18 Thread

    This is so frustrating. Why didn't they bowl like this in the first innings. Even if we skittle them out for 150 you've got to think that's too much for a run chase.

    Ashes 17/18 Thread

    Don't think many people were expecting us to win the Ashes but this is a shambles. When your number 9 making his debut is the top scorer something is seriously wrong. Aussies will be in for the kill now and looking for 5-0.

    If Spurs could only get 30K why would they restrict the away supporters to 5K and leave 55K empty?

    Villa at home for me. Should be a big crowd, possible TV game and we would have a chance of an upset.

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

    1. We don't pay £10bn now, the net is around £8bn. How much is replacing all the agencies and authorities we access as part of the EU going to cost? 2. Its not certain we'll leave the customs union but if we do then we have to negotiate good deals for it to be a benefit. There's also a doubt if...

    Ouch, BT paid £80m for the rights to the Ashes. These are the ratings for the 5 days of the 1st test: 100,000, 106,000, 80,000, 89,000 and 73,000.

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    Exactly, if the aim is job creation you give tax breaks on things proven to create jobs. And I think we all know who it will be that foots the bill when there is less public money. It will be austerity and 'we're all in this together'.
