Aye but now there's a media narrative about us parking the bus and playing anti-football, so rather than think for themselves, the pundits are just going to ride on the coat tails of that. EDIT - not that we aren't doing this, but as you say, we're not alone.

I wonder if May is playing a strategy to best allow the Tories to recover. She knows the following: 1 - The Tories can't push Remain or soft Brexit and remain credible/electable. 2 - Chequers was really the only chance she had of saving the economy given that she wasn't prepared to deviate from 1. 3 - If she puts the message over as Chequers or nothing, she's basically forcing the EU to be the ones to say 'nothing', and therefore is laying the groundwork for them to be painted as the villains in the oncoming economic harm that will befall the nation. So then, it will be the EU's fault that Britain went to shit, and not her or the Tories. And she'll be counting on the fact that the British people stupid enough to vote Brexit in the first place will see the notion of blaming her to be equivalent to blaming themselves, something that their tiny minds and pride apparently cannot countenance. So I think she's heading for No Deal now - I don't think for a second she expects the EU to move on Chequers, I think she's putting the Tories above the nation. As for Labour, I agree with ewerk to a point, although I think they see it as more of an opportunity to rid the UK of the influence of whatever aspects of the EU they don't agree with rather than simply pragmatism to bring about a winnable election for Labour. I can see the logic there but it would be a slightly bizarre turn for a party that really doesn't seem to have had that level of strategic planning, and which on the face of it should genuinely care about people's livelihoods, rather than just paying them lipservice like the Tories. I thought McDonnell's comments about rejecting a second referendum on the basis that allowing one will stoke racist and far right inclinations was beyond pathetic. He's set that message up for the pro-Remain SJW lobby that genuinely seems fearful that we're on the cusp of a return to full blown Nazism in order to get them to pipe down about the EU.

If its no deal it has to be a re-run surely. No one voted for no deal. No one.

It does seem entirely pointless getting wound up at Rafa. Yes the guy is going to cost us points here and there through tactical mistakes, but far fewer than almost anyone else would.

Still think Pulis...

If it's £300m then it's about what Stavely was offering (£280m wasn't it?) meaning that he's simply wasted a year for fucking nothing whatsoever.

Genuinely think this could happen.

If we get relegated and stay down he might.

I actually think targeting his shops is a meaningful thing to do - at least he's forced to accept that on some level, his decisions are hurting him. The guys who are taking Sports Direct tweets of special offers and pointing out to people where they can get the same stuff for less - things like that I believe are useful. Not sure about a picket line, feels too much to actively prevent fans from going to the ground, or shaming them for turning up, which is effectively what picketing is. Ultimately though we've been round the houses on this a few times. Only option in any real sense is to push the club down the order of priorities in your life until Ashley finally goes. I mean, it's going to happen eventually - this won't just go on forever. It feels like it sometime, but it won't. We'll be owned by someone other than Ashley in 10 years time.

Think the 5000 figure is for the Coventry game mind.

I don't know much about guns tbh, but how is the gun in the first pic a hunting option? Unless you're hunting tanks? I get the interest anyway, and it's worth understanding given where you are.

Were you tempted to buy one?

That is, however, an amusing twitter post

I love how that username is the one that makes the grade into conventional published media

If a thorough investigation has been carried out and the relevant authorities have decided Russia was behind it, then yes? Did you ever actually understand my position?

I mean, was the expectation that Russia would hold its hands up and confess? Why does anyone even care. We already kicked their diplomats out, and our government isn't going to take punitive measures against their rich, so who the fuck cares what Putin has to say about it.

What's wrong with leaving it with a neighbour ffs.

That's actually inspired Although maybe you should claim that you didn't notice it, and that it was taken away by the bin men - see if you can get a refund?

You reckon it'll have "remain" on the ticket?

R3l\l70l\l@gmail.com Professional as fuck.

What the actual fuck

That's odd... he fucking loved Twitter. Hopefully he's ok.

The rebate and all our advantages are already off the table now, even if we turn around and head back in pre-Brexit, right? It's so fucking stupid, it really is. As if we're not going to be back there in 20 years.

Yeah... depressing state of affairs really. The best we can hope I guess is that Brexit more or less falls apart of its own accord. I started wondering the other day, what the minimum time frame would be for us to leave, realise it's fucking shit, and decide to go back in again. Obviously assuming we were even allowed.

Yeah but the membership didn't. This is what I don't get about Corbyn, and is probably the source of most of my disappointment with him - it's not like it would be hard for him to just rock up one day, point to the membership (and now, 2:1, even the unions) and back a second referendum. I mean his power base can't really argue that one without hamstringing the party apart more effectively than the Blairites have been trying to do. Even if he is a Brexiteer, he should have the vision to see that if Labour u-turned, even now, they'd have all the ammunition they needed to take the Tories on properly - and that he will have a better chance to enact his program as a result.
