    Program Notes - Nice Touch

    How is there even an argument about this. Whatever you think of Fisher you can't deny he's done something good here.

    German federal election

    I know zero about German politics but why are the people who have been saying on here for months Merkel is deeply unpopular in Germany and had no chance in the election now saying her winning with a smaller vote is some sort of victory for the right? Surely if she was predicted to lose and...

    Swindon...pay on the gate?

    Half the time when they say its all ticket they change it to pay on the gate on the day. Keep an eye on the clubs twitter on matchday.

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

    I'm not so sure. Another 2 year deal puts us at another general election. Who knows what the situation will be then. If things are going badly with exit negotiations and other trade deals you could have Labour running a remain campaign. If they do that and win the election what then?

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

    I find this amazing, what did they think was going to happen? The EU were never going to make leaving the EU a better option than staying in it. The benefit was supposed to be better deals with non-EU countries but the expectation there seems to have now lowered to replicating what we already have.

    Contract extension - 4 Years - Jordan Ponticelli

    Good news, hopefully we'll get a couple of decent seasons out of him before he disappears for a decent fee. Wonder how its structured given that now he's not even in the first team but over the course of the contract could become one of our key players.

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

    Hmmm, May now proposing that we keep paying into the EU until we can work out what we want to do. What are the odds that the couple of years being proposed will be extended several times.

    Whoes the gay boy in the pink?

    Is that so as not to offend people or just to save money? Seasons greetings can cover Christmas and Hanukkah so instead of putting up and taking down two lots of decorations its one.

    The original (as in the first England one) was about the meeting Aluko wasn't even at. That was recorded and the recording doesn't match the claim being made. The second claim which she made later (the ebola one) wasn't recorded but nobody else that was present seems able to confirm her...

    But that's not why he's been sacked. That matter was investigated, a video of the meeting in question examined and a barrister who came in to carry out the investigation stated that he clearly didn't say what he was accused of. There's got to be something going on in the background we don't...

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

    This is the key here. If we can't enforce the current laws and regulations then leaving or remaining becomes irrelevant. Increase the minimum wage to a true living wage and sort out workers rights such as how zero hours contracts are abused. That would also help get the benefits bill down. If...

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

    Net immigration has increased since Eastern European countries joined but you have to question why the UK didn't enforce similar rules to other countries to restrict things as many other EU countries did. The easiest way to stop that migration is not to have jobs going, so you need to get those...

    That was a proper stitch up. Even the FA admitted what he said was 'a factual, correct statement around the laws of the English game and having third-party ownership'.

    You live in a very binary world, everything either seems to be fantastic or terrible. This is, we are told, nothing to do with the bullying allegations. Something just seems off with the whole thing. Put yourself in Sampson's situation. In your old job you were accused of something, it was...

    Thats what it sounds like but what does 'There are different allegations about different things which is why we’re talking in the plural, some could be categorised as trivial and some as very serious.', different girls? Seems very odd that this would have been known about, investigated and then...
