  1. I didn't think there would be a referendum but could see aggro arising from the arguments in the wake of this. That was what a meant really, a possible rise in sectarian tensions.
  2. Aye but Paul Merson reckons Rafa won't be able to manage in the Championship.
  3. It wasn't just about the backbenchers. It was more about UKIP. At the time it was announced a lot of the really detailed voting pattern and polling analysis suggested that there was going to be a hung Parliament and that the Tories weren't going to win because too much of their vote was defecting to UKIP. As it turned out, this wasn't the case and it probably hurt Labour more. He either thought that he couldn't win but, if he did, it would've meant UKIP would've routed so the result was a forgone conclusion.
  4. First thing my lass said to me this morning when I told her the result was: "Do you fancy moving to Scotland?" With hindsight I should've asked if she wanted to come to. She was (at least) half serious though. Not sure they're that well set up to go it alone like, especially given a lot of their projected spending was based on a higher price for crude oil I think. In any case they're gone, it's just a case of when not if the UK splits now. I feel canny depressed about the whole thing. There's a lot wrong with the EU but I don't see a single benefit to leaving. I think the remainder of the UK might lurch to the right. I also think there could be terrible repurcussions for Northern Ireland as there's a genuine reason why Sinn Fein et al can agrue for a referendum now but the Loyalist community would never agree to it. Really hope I'm wrong on that one too. Also think Cameron is a complete coward for walking away from this mess he created with his political brinkmanship in the run up to the last election. All based on his assumption he wasn't going to win a majority I feel. What a fucking mess all round
  5. I could imagine loads of well-off, retired types threatening to leave the country in the event of a Remain vote without even a hint of knowing irony.
  6. Bookies suggest it's a done deal. The tin foil hat brigade seem to think so as well.
  7. I was just going to mention Joe Hart. What a tart. Roy Keane, on the other hand, looks like he's been shipwrecked.
  8. I don't think he's that self-aware. I think he genuinely thinks history will show he was right about everything.
  9. I'll let you off, just this once
  10. I wish Blair would just fuck off from public life. What a shameless cunt
  11. How about (to the Dambusters theme): Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, who the fuck are Leeds? And who the fuck are Leeds?
  12. Really good article and an excellent piece of research that deserves wider coverage. There should be legislation limiting the number of match categories and forcing more transparency around prices. You can't really blame the Beeb (not saying you were) for not getting to the bottom of it in a general piece on ticket prices given the level of complexity and depth of research you had to undertake.
  13. Well I fucking gathered that much after your previous post, you twerp
  14. The scenes when the late Iceland and Ireland winners went in were absolutely fantastic to watch. I can see why Buffon still gets a game for Italy as well. What a fucking flapper that lad who plays for PSG is
  15. Not like you to deliberately miss the point. Actually, that might be giving you too much credit.
  16. I didn't get the Simpsons reference, I was thinking of T.S. Eliot.
  17. It's the one thing he's been consistent about since he signed up to this forum. Winding people up about stuff they care about to get some attention. It was saying Dennis Wise deserves a shot managing NUFC in the wake of KK's departure then and it's been Mike Ashley's great or the Tories are great or whatever ever else since. He wouldn't say any of this in public either.
