4 games unbeaten, it was good while it lasted.

What do you mean? It's in the WA, which as I predicted is substantially May's WA. (95% unchanged according to the analysts, and the only changes, are to accommodate Johnson caving in over the Irish Sea border. May could have done this, but her loyal party would have been outraged) The only other ch...

You can't beat a bit of "they need us more than we need them". On an unrelated note, about 7% of Germany's exports go to the UK. About 45% of the UK's exports go to the EU. It's got nothing to do with who needs it more than the other, we need each other. We need to trade with them, but they also ne...

But my point is that the EU will still dictate to us, and once we've left we don't have a voice. So we get some independence, but still remain under their thumb, and have no say in what they command. I'll let you figure that out for yourself. I dont need to figure anything out. You are stuck in the...

You were the one saying we’ll be free to deregulate once we leave. I’m just pointing out that we won’t if we want a free trade deal with the EU. You must be confusing me with somebody else, I never used the term deregulate anywhere. I know from when I worked in the food industry that the cost of re...

I honestly try not to be insulting. Once again, if we want a free trade deal with the EU, it’ll be us conforming to their standards. The degree to which we lower our standards will result in reduced trade with them. Edit: and it’s not about what they sell to us, but what we sell to them. They won’t...

Three years of telling us that the European Empire (the use of which shows just how little you understand or want to know) is on the verge of collapse. Its not a complete shock to find out that the evidence says exactly the opposite is it? Do you make it up as you go along, or just conveniently for...

Firstly, most people don’t want to see working rights and environmental protections eroded. Secondly, the EU is powerful enough to call the tune in trade negotiations with other countries, so when it comes to one with us it’s going to be EU standards, or no to trade. Firstly, if you dont want to se...

Only the truly, truly, truly deluded ever thought it wasn't. So why are the deluded on this thread insisting that we are dependent on the EU to protect us with workers rights ......etc :roll: As bad as they are, and they are bad, we have far more control over Westminster than we do Brussels Roll on...

I hope that means you are emigrating when we leave.

Colburn_Claret

That's not actually a fact though. Modern trade deals include far more than just trade within their scope. CETA (the EU/Canada trade deal) for instance includes various undertakings on workers' rights and the environment. The difference it is part of a trade agreement, its not imposed as a conditio...

Colburn_Claret

I think it’s primacy of U.K. law, meaning not adhering to EU standards - whether they be environmental or working rights. They won’t get many Labour MPs voting for this, when those who were teetering wanted worker and environmental protections built in. The hypocrisy of this. IF labour are going to...

He owes us, but to be honest he also owes himself. He isnt the first footballer to make an arse of himself, so long as hes learnt, and determined to come back stronger, he could still be a good signing for us. Does he really want to go down with that carry on as the last thing people remember him fo...

I haven't seen what the injury was. He hasn't even made the bench tonight so I hope they are being extra cautious. It doesn't look good.

Sadly I think it's gone.
I used to visit it regular, some fantastic photos, especially of the older grounds. He could catch an atmosphere for sure.

I think we'll play crap and win, although it will ne hard to be worse than the other night. Pick players doing well domestically would be a good start.
I'm at work, so fortunately I'll miss it.

Blackwell House is worth a visit.
Just south of Windermere, it has a craft shop, cafe, and an interesting history. The views are great over Windermere and the house itself has some fantastic rooms.

We were bloody awful, but the reaction is a bit hard. I never thought Southgate was the man for the job, but I was wrong, he's done fine. Bringing a lot of youngsters in and taking the squad forward. Fridays problems were pretty obvious, but i think part of the problem was selecting too many losers....

If, as it sounds like, Boris has made a big concession, and we get a deal similar to the one by Teresa May, what would your view be of the current PM? Anything that left Brussels with a veto/overpowering say on British policy, whether its custom controls, or border controls, or prevents us from see...

Why are we electing Federalists is the question that springs to mind when I read this. They're selected by the leaders of the member countries, how come all these federalists are getting elected to lead their countries? They get elected by a majority of leaders. Some of the elected come with very d...

Or, people believe that an EU that has elections, has a council selected by democratically elected leaders, etc. is democratic. Please try and explain exactly why you don't think the EU is democratic. What specific elements do you have issues with? Everyone who sits at the top of the table are Fede...

Colburn_Claret

Ah, my favourite fallacy. That the EU takes power away from Westminster. As usual, and ever since the leave campaign's wheels were in full motion, this is sprouted as a general statement or complaint about legislation and laws being dictated to the UK. There's never specific examples that particula...

That only works if you deny the existence of everything that everyone has been telling you about the effects of Brexit. That is the UK Government all the way down to posters on here. Just process that for a minute I don't believe what SOME people have been saying about the effects of Brexit. It's a...

"federalist love in"? LOL I did wonder how long it would take for any attempt at a proper argument would end up at "WE WON, YOU LOST, GET OVER IT" The more you demand your perfect Brexit, the more likely it is to slip away. You've a very selective memory. You've already admitted on this thread many...

Then lets test it. As I said, nothing prevents a future government from taking us back in if it turns out wrong. What's to fear.

You don't think your fantasy Brexit delusion isn't as divisive? Look, I get that you believe that you don't know anyone who voted remain, but surely you concede that the reality is far different and we are a genuinely split country on this? The only deal that unites us is one that we can all deal w...

And exactly the same post could be aimed at you Colburn. The easy deal never existed. It only existed pre-2016. As soon as the referendum was won, the reality of it sank in. Impossible to have our cake and eat it in 2016, in 2017, in 2018 and guess what? just as impossible in 2019. The ability to i...

But what happens if there is still a hung parliament after the next GE? Where do we go from there? Wether the Parliament is hung should be irrelevant to delivering the referendum. I dont believe there will be a hung parliament however, unless Boris completely screws it up, but if there should be ha...

What happened to the easiest deal in history Andy? What happened to the EU bending over backwards for us? What happened to us holding all the cards after voting to leave? What happened to the row of the summer? All those bullshit claims made by Leavers had disintegrated long before the Benn Act was...

The elected parliament that wants an extension in the event of no deal? If you don’t want these allies to ‘interfere’ them surely they accept the delay our sovereign parliament requests. The problem is the elected parliament isnt acting on behalf of the electorate, the majority who voted leave. Dem...

This idea that CBs need to be ball players is a recent fad. As teams keep giving away goals like Norwich or Citeh on Sunday, it's a fad that will die a natural death fairly soon. What these teams gain in attacking options is minuscule to the problems they create by not doing the basics.

As good as you'll get from a last ditch defender but we need to improve to do better and we somehow need to find someone who is as good as Ben in defence but can also play out from the back without making so many mistakes. It's usually every game he makes a mistake and it has cost us in the past. W...

Colburn_Claret

Ben is truly immense for us, but taking off the Claret and Blue Specs, if he played for, let’s say Southampton, I’d not think he was good enough for an England Cap. That might be true, but it's only because he isnt a show pony. Does any team really want a show pony at the centre of their defence. O...

Darlo progressed again.
They've been banned from the competition ever since they got kicked down the league I'm still not sure why they were banned when other clubs in similar circumstances weren't.

Nah, he blocked off Keane and a lump of wood called Schneiderlin.
It was a great move though, as was Wood against Norwich. Remember when we never scored from corners.....

I've always been of the opinion that if you can stay on your feet you should, that said you can see why some players exaggerate it. All you can ask for is consistency, so far VAR has been consistently a waste of time. Officialdom has no excuse anymore, but they are still determined to screw it up. I...

The problem Everton fans have with Silva isnt just the results. It's the post match interviews which are exactly the same every single time they lose. It's as if he is the only one who cant see it. He thinks Everton were unlucky, the fans know that they weren't. If your team play shite, you should h...

Why would he want to drop into the championship.
Our wages arent that bad, and our bonuses are some of the best. He also sounds as though he is loving it still at Burnley.
Hes going nowhere.

Kammy will be creaming himself on GOS , as he does love a goal from the training ground. We would be daft to let Jeff go, but I'm not concerned. I dont think there will be better offers out there, Burnley players do tend to go under the radar. I've said previously, he plays better with the game in f...

There has to be room for all 3 to get plenty of game time. Jay Rod gets better all the time, but Wood and Barnes should start, for now. They've developed a partnership, and I would always judge them on how many goals they score as a pair, rather than individually. Jay offers something different, and...

Not bothered really, I haven't seen it yet. I just find it funny that Leicester fans complain about it when they have Jamie 'the swan' Vardy in their side.

I don't think it's down to that. Mee isn't a ball playing defender - never well be. He's someone who is best when the other team are against him time and time again. So I can totally understand why he's not in the England side. A ball playing defender like Norwich have. ;) The last few weeks has se...
