    Maggie Thatcher has died

    That's exactly what it was. Anyone who lived through those times saw a see-change of behaviour and greed became at the forefront. If Thatcher was a great leader, how come the Conservative party distanced themselves from her for so long. The T word was pretty much banned. I have never come...

    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Ohh and I worked for a subsidiary of British Coal and lived and worked through the miners strike so I knew how vindictive and spiteful woman she truly was. I saw families torn apart and brothers and fathers and sons not speak to each other for 20 years following the event. Thatcher sent the...

    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Thing is, under Thatcher's government we were under discussions with Argentina to let them have the Falklands back before the outbreak and invasion.

    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Unions needed reforming and their powers curbing, but 'smashing?' Why did the unions need to be 'smashed?' She didn't seek to reform them. She set out to destroy them.

    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Hmm, but didn't she say that she believed there was no such thing as society and also said she was putting money into each individual's pocket for them to do as they pleased with it? Greed set in and then people then promptly kept all the money to themselves. There is no community anymore...

    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Exactly. Bloody exactly. Exactly what happened. This selfish, every man for himself, greedy materialistic world we live in today all came under her watch and was something she actually actively embraced!

    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Come one, who's going to be the first to sing 'Ding dong the witch is dead?' A terrible leader who totally destroyed the sense of community spirit and of society as we knew it. Sad to see anyone die, but I dare say there'll be a fair few parties to be had tonight up and down the country!

    Linnell knows why Haskell didn't buy Leeds?

    But surely it was the leaves that left the mark.

    Haskell in Casino

    Yeah, with Wonga and Ocean Finance anyway.

    just got back from the local

    He was winding you up! I was in the same pub, and as you went to the toilet I heard him whisper under his breath and chuckle, 'Yeah, Wallace as manager ...... with Gromit as his assistant!'

    Sky vs Virgin Media

    Virgin me for. Super fast broadband, good customer service (always has been for me anyway). Beats Sky hands down. Fell out with Sky many years ago when I asked them to freeze my account for a few months as my receiver blew up (in the days when you had to buy your own receiver) and they said...

    Lazy? :confused::confused::confused:

    Bailey

    He was excellent until he got injured, so to say he can't play football is all a bit daft. Can only assume that he's been carrying a knock since he came back. We did rush him back early as I recall.

    Pressley

    Not from me he wouldn't. As soon as Donny sussed out our game plan we struggled. They totally nullified our game 2nd half. I sincerely hope we didn't go out with that same game plan today. Players like Fleck and Barton thrive when they have time on the ball. Not many teams in this league give...

    Pressley

    Was worried today when he picked the same side. It was clear to all and sundry that as soon as Doncaster changed their tactics at half time on Good Friday, we struggled in the middle of the park. Seems to me that maybe Pressley concentrated too much on our first 45 mins on Friday when we...

    Walsall match thread

    You've heard of flavour of the month, well why not manager of the month. We could have 12 managers a year. It would be both fun and refreshing.

    Walsall match thread

    New manager, reversal of fortunes? Suddenly our home form is looking good and our away form quite poor. 3 home games under Pressley and we haven't lost yet. 2 away games on the bounce looking like 2 defeats.

    Walsall match thread

    Am going with a draw. If Walsall have done their homework, Barton and Fleck will be afforded much less space today. They were given far too on Saturday much and really flourished first half. As soon as Donny pressed in the second period they were both much, much less influential. Will be up...

    Stuart Linnell sacked!

    You should be ashamed of yourself. Technophobia is as abhorrent as Homophobia. Not acceptable.
