What a ridiculous comment!

Very sad, a tragic year for the family.

Why the desire to see this play out in public?

So you think it’s a acceptable that having been castigated in various media and the stereotype of the racist Burnley BNP supporter is perpetuated on social media, for it just to be dropped? As I’m sure you are aware **** sticks. Chelsea should make it quite clear that the accusation is withdrawn Wh...

Let's not forget that Liverpool are at home and have managed a mere 74 points more than Huddersfield over 35 matches, more than two points a match.

Me in the centre. Arm held high.

Signed by the team on the back.

Chris Pearce is the only player from that day missing from the signatures.

He probably dropped the pen.

The point about the "**** Italian" is that you aren't allowed to use foul language and racial identifiers in the same phrase. If they had called him a "**** manager", no problem. A "useless Italian", no problem. A "**** Italian", if proved, £20k fine and five match ban. It's the same old "racism" r...

At the Etihad yes, it’s been a different story at the Turf during the Dyche years though, won one, lost one, drawn one scoring a total of three goals.

Bercow changed the 'process' when it suited him. "If processes don't change then nothing changes......" and refused to change the process when it didn't suit him. He also chose which indicative votes (motions) to put to parliament. Denied MPs the option of leaving by a certain date whatever the cir...

I agree, let’s have a second referendum (I assume that’s what you mean).

Bercow drove a coach and horses through centuries of parliamentary procedural protocol and precedent. Ignoring the advice of his clerks. Refusing to make public that advice. More recently he said he would "not be bound by precedent" He's consistently blocked pro Leave amendments and chosen , unilat...

I hope we don’t play with carefree abandon, they’ll tear us apart! Stick to what we know. Our best hope is a game like last season where they battered us for three quarters of the match but only managed one goal, then we have a go in the last 20.

martin_p

He was clearly being sarcy. And you may genuinely believe that the labour party is honouring the manifesto pledges on Brexit , on which it's MPs were elected. I don't. It's irrelevant. The future ballot will decide whether it is. It’s not a belief, he’s looking at what they said in their manifesto ...

Greater Manchester - 10 Boroughs 7 voted Leave. 3 voted Remain. The fact is that 2/3rds of labour constituencies voted Leave. The London Remain vote skews the overall figures. I predicted John Bercows role would be pivotal in the Brexit process. I was right wasn't I Marty. You know Manchester and G...

What he means is that London skews the labour remain vote given roughly 2/3rds of labour constituencies voted Leave. Labour - it used to be the Working Class Party Now it's the Islington Dinner Party..... You mean like in Liverpool and Manchester? Your ‘London metropolitan elite’ argument is oversi...

Now if we could put together the first half of the 17/18 season and the second half of 18/19.....Champions League? (Can’t he bothered working it out myself).

The bizarre thing is that a loss tonight could well consign United to the Europa League. They need every point they can get!

The Tories are suffering because they've ignored THEIR voters, why would they go put campaigning for them. Like me with Labour, they will probably vote for a.n.other, until the party start reflecting its members. Before anyone tells me Jeremy has increased this, and increased that, Labour constitue...

The tradition has long since been leeched from the FA Cup to satisfy the big teams and tv companies, this really isn’t going to make that much difference. I remember when the FA Cup was the worlds biggest cup competition, it’s just the League Cups older brother now.

martin_p

I don’t care what the game is and what impact it may have on other teams, I always want us to win (and I include meaningless pre-season friendlies in that).

If staff are going to be reported for alleged insults then all staff sat on the bench on both sides should only be allowed to speak a language the fourth official understands. Who knows what abuse was being directed at Dyche from the Chelsea bench?

Reports today that Brunei has written to the EU calling for ‘tolerance, respect and understanding’ on its decision to stone gay people to death. You really couldn’t make it up!

It’s purely the refs fault for not adding the correct time when a player is injured and needs the physio. We must be a fair team because I can’t remember one of our players getting injured in the last few minutes when we were under the cosh at Old Trafford To be fair he added six minutes on in a ha...

Entirely agree with this. The cramp thing was embarrassing - either our players are not fit enough, the drinks they take aren't good enough, or, they're cheating. The latter I'm pretty sure We’ve had years of teams doing it against us without a thing being done about it. Maybe we’ve decided that if...

Post match interview with Zola, guess what, he doesn’t give us a word of credit.

It isn’t my conclusion. It is that of several mainstream journalists, like these two. https://twitter.com/samcoatestimes/status/1118578188429463552?s=21 The party that gets the most votes (not 50% because there are close to a dozen options) will strike fear into their rivals.
