With such a bewildering bad choice between Johnson or Corbyn, I'm surprised so many people are refusing to vote for anyone else. But who to vote for? The liberal’s priced me out with revocation of A50, Brexit and UKIP are mental and the greens is a wasted vote. Where is the centre vote these days? ...

Considering Corbyn cant even be honest when calling May a stupid woman on camera, I can’t really see what the point is in trusting any of them, let alone arguing one is more ‘honest’ than the other. What I will say is that the Conservative manifesto has a better chance of being implemented as they c...

+ Coyle wanted to bring in certain players to address our shortcomings - Wilsher, Weiss and Holden (all on loan, and all of whom ended up at Bolton), others perhaps - but there was disagreements in how much he could spend which may have in part led to him leaving. Maybe these players would have giv...

You've probably described the position most managers face at clubs who get relegated from the Prem. I can't think of many teams, threatened with relegation, who have appointed managers from the league below, on a downward trajectory with their current side. There's of course the deflation or apathy...

Whole time, PL and championship.

The fact Laws failed to win back to back league games in his whole tenure as BFC manager said enough about his adequacy for the job, for me. As has been said many times before, it wasn't his fault for taking the job - he never should have been offered it. The only issue I take with Laws himself was ...

If the younger/student voters turn out in force it might not be the foregone conclusion a lot of Tories seem to think it will be. Once Jezza gets his 'free stuff for everyone' manifesto out, there will be more than just gullible students who will vote for him. Add to that constituencies like Burnle...

This is what they are doing but the bed we are currently having to lie in is the internal mess in Parliament of trying to make a clear decision on what we want to do. So are they staying out of it by removing the deadline or getting involved in our political decisions by offering more time? You can...

Darthlaw

We set the deadline and then we legislated the Benn Act to seek more time. The EU are leaving it to us and if we need more time they'll ley us have it. The EU want to play no part in it Once the EU give more time, past our own set time limit, then they are involved. That’s before you take into acco...

Darthlaw

Great but this is our mess to sort out and the EU want to play no part in it and imposing a deadline for us to adhere to would do that We set the deadline when we triggered A50. The EU play a part when they allow extensions. Logic suggests they should be looking to end the uncertainty for their mem...

Been covered on here many times. The EU do not want to be seen to play any part in us leaving with No Deal. It is for us to make that decision and not to just stumble into it because the EU wouldn't allow us the additional time to sort it out ourselves Sure. The EU are saving us from ourselves. Rem...

Darthlaw

By NOT granting an extension the EU now has the power to clarify to the UK parliament that their only options are the new 'deal' or a no-deal exit. They should be brave and announce tomorrow that NO extension will be granted. Remainers assure us that the EU do not need us and, if anything, surely t...

I think they’ll run out of steam. They needed to capitalise on the sin bin in the first half. Hopefully you’re right and I’m wrong though.

Darthlaw

Evans ran across Wood, Evans might not have got to the ball, there didn’t seem to be a camera angle that proved beyond doubt that Wood’s foot touched him or not. If the ref disallows it then that’s tough luck, but to overturn his decision to award the goal based on the video evidence is criminal. W...

Darthlaw

Replay from behind the players shows Wood gets the slightest touch on Evans heel, which leads him to trip himself.

Regardless, Evans wasn’t stopping it going in so it’s a ridiculous decision.

Probably non immediately but once we are out then the fear is this govt and its big business backers will use any economic hardship as an excuse to start slashing things like workers rights My point being UK workers rights could be slashed right now, to meet EU rights.

IT, I keep hearing workers rights being negatively affected once we leave the EU. Genuinely here I'm wondering what impact this will have as so far I can only find where UK workers rights supersede that of EU ones. That said, I've only seen examples on what would appear to be pro-brexit websites. Wh...

As I see it, the stronger the bans for those who do get caught cheating - the less folk will try to pull off a 'convincing' dive.

Ferguson destroyed his own legacy in recommending Moyes for the job. An appointment not to dissimilar to Laws here, in terms of neither of them having done anything to warrant getting the job they were given.

He's a multiple proven liar. Corbyn couldn’t even tell the truth when he was caught calling May a ‘stupid woman’.

That’s kind of the subject of the thread, though. What were you expecting it to be about, or are you suggesting Boris Johnson could be the new Labour leader?

More importantly, a strong opposition is better for the country. With JC in charge of the opposition, it’s anything but.

This idea he faked it all is just ridiculous and typical of idiot posters who think whenever a player goes down from another team they are diving and cheating. So you’ll retract this then?
