Re: The 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup

Skill-wise...where do we think the standard of the last 4 teams stand in comparison with English men's football? Championship mainly with a few at Prem level? Certainly miles ahead of the Conference football I watched last season. The full USWNT team lost 5-2 to a Dallas under 15's men's team .... ...

Re: Marko Arnautovic Signs

He's gone/going we move on .... What I don't understand is why we turned down 40m in January to accept 24m now ... sure I know we have no choice because of his contract but paying that 16m (plus wages) for six months, what we're we thinking? We were mid-table going nowhere why? As I said seems like ...

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath

"Some parents say"..... Yeah, which one's I say. Total bollox, getting seriously sick of the BBC these days, everything that they seem to say is just so anti-brexit it's untrue. If true, and I think it is, it works against the BBC every-time ... If you are a staunch Leaver you already thi...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

And what a difference it is. One of the things that has an impact for Newcastle in the valuation of their club is the costs that they have in maintaining their rented stadium all year round, but only get 25 days revenue out of it a year. Our rental (lease) agreement is of good enough value for it t...

Re: Marko Arnautovic Signs

Getting rid saves us 16m in salary on a player who could stink the place up for another three years ... we should bite the hand off anyone who offers even 20m ... the guy is finished get shot now

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

^^^ We'd all like a football stadium, but some people have a strange misconception that we should actually own it. It doesn't seem to bother fans of other PL clubs that don't own their stadium: Bournemouth - owned by a property company run by Tottenham Vice-President David Pearl and rented to the c...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

You simply can't convert a bowl into a rectangular stadium .... you can tweak the seats behind the goal a bit but frankly it won't make much difference and just increase the "gap" between lower and upper ... The only long-term solution is the one proposed by Spurs 10 years ago .... As soon...

And I thought it was clear it was just a specific part of the job figures? Will include a graph or some drawings next time. So you pull out one tiny stat to make a completely fraudulent point - classic Jobs go up to record levels - but here's 3% of the job's market that did less well - quick panic,...

25% drop in jobs created by direct foreign investment in the last year. Down 30% from the year of the referendum. Hmmmm was that on the back of a crisp packed?

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath

For all of that to come off, there absolutely has to be a Tory / Brexit party pact due to there being many constituencies that will never vote Tory for historical reasons. And the Labour party declares as a remain party. It then falls to Farage to convince those Labour die hards that Labour are the...

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath

Well with Boris as good as elected we now have a very committed Brexit PM instead of a Leaver ... not that Boris isn't a two faced duplicitous b*stard but for personal expedience he is now full on Brexit. What does that mean? Same MP's same divided parliament? yet there is a subtle but significant d...

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath

The issue Scotland has in being part of the UK is the same as the issue the north of England has - all of the money is in London. The SE of England gets the lions share of investment and improvements in services, which in turn helps fuel productivity and economic growth. It's a perpetual cycle that...

' Hatred of the English ' comes up quite a lot - Hatred of Westminster perhaps but definitely not ' Hatred of the English ' .

Remain has said leaving the EU is too difficult, yet the break up of the Union will happen as easy as a vote to leave. The SNP will campaign to leave whether brexit happened or not. Just as Sinn fien wants NI to leave. Brexit has not changed their political views. Over 200 years of union, will be h...

Genuine question for my fellow leave voters: At a GE we vote for a set of policies, in the knowledge that in 5 years time if they turn out to be unworkable, or economically disasterous, we will have another chance to vote again. That's what we understand as democracy isn't it? How long ,democratica...
