Yes, but it also demonstrates the UK has zero leverage on the Irish border issue. What are we supposed to threaten them with like? If they don't hold trade talks first then we won't implement the Irish border plan that we don't have?

Well it worked for Trump

What are their terms regarding this issue beyond asking how we propose to handle the new arrangements at the border? I don't think it's a case of holding out in the hope of gaining more leverage, it's simply trying to make it look the EU is being unreasonable because there's no actual plan as to how to sort out border arrangements. It's frankly an absolute joke that all the pro-Brexit members of the government and UKIP etc. had no idea how to sort this issue and still don't. Just shows what a useless* bunch of chancers they are. * Unless you count conning morons

Because they think the UK should sort out the mess it has created?

Bilic seems to have made his career by doing ok with a pretty talented Croatia team

Coleman or Rafa?

I knew that

Gateshead Thunder?

They have to start comparing us unfavourably to other clubs because their default position of comparing themselves to us is too depressing.

I'd rather watch darts

Fiji beat NZ as well. I caught on the breakfast news at the weekend. 4-2 ffs Sounds like a thriller. There's virtually no interest in the sport over here like. It's really only played in two counties (three if you count Cumbria but hardly anyone lives there).

I don't follow Rugby League at all but this World Cup seems a bit farcical. The Aussies through to their 14th consecutive final ( ) after winning a semi-final by a fucking mile. I know you often get mismatches in World Cups but it seems pointless if the semi-finals aren't competitive.

Hope you told them that

Forgot all about Saivet

Nah

Just like the deficit then.

You need the new rolling stock otherwise extending it would be pointless but I agree and also think it should go to places like Cramlington and other parts of North Tyneside. It's good (although a bit ropey at times, which this should hopefully sort out) if you happen to be lucky enough to live near a station but there's far too many places not sevred by it imo.

The only way he'll get a double brace is if he's in a car crash
