  1. Actually would almost be worth it for them to get promoted automatically, and the relegated again next season.
  2. So ... nothing has changed, really? Another six months minimum of this shit.
  3. I'm sorry, but I doubt they give a fuck
  4. Isn't that what all politicians do? They are all, without exception, looking after their own interests first, their party's second (and not even that with the ERG etc), and the Country and the electorate a very distant 99th
  5. Probably rose on the basis that he would not be losing more money on Debenhams now
  6. Looked like it would take at least 90 minutes for him to get his radar working. Seemed right off his game and not happy at being benched in the first place. He needs to be playing from the start or not at all.
  7. Nobody had a clue where he was going, not least himself, but yes - wish we still had that HBA
  8. I remain (sorry wrong word) confused about this extension. Given that May needs to have her deal approved by Parliament next week to even have a short delay, and given that Bercow has said she can't bring it back, what does what was agreed last night change? Does this mean a no deal Brexit next Friday? Can anyone explain? Or do I need to wait for John Oliver - crap, he is having a week off
  9. Presumably all hoping that, without the UK in the EU, he will be out of the European Parliament and they will never have to hear from him again.
  10. Social media has given everyone the right to be a racist or basically say anything else to the computer/smart phone that you would not say in person
  11. Presumably they assume that a no-deal Brexit will have to happen on 29 March, given that the no-deal vote was not binding, and that the EU won't agree unanimously to an extension. Or have I completely misread the situation (a distinct proposition, as I rely completely on John Oliver's take on the matter )
  12. I doubt many of them can count that high
  13. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. He is the only reason why we should not hope for Trump's demise
  14. No, because they have been allowed to breed
  15. $16m paid in July would probably have meant that we were pretty much safe from relegation by Christmas, I reckon. That may have made it easier to sell the club, then. Of course, it could have meant no Almiron either
  16. Does the ref ask the VAR or is it the other way round, i.e. shouldn't you have another look at this? I think the VAR instigates the review, rather than, as in rugby, the ref asking the VAR to check.
  17. Conspiracy theorist David Icke banned from entering Australia ahead of speaking tour Thought this idiot was dead. Doesn't seem to be wearing purple anymore, though.
  18. Don't think PR is ever the answer, unless there has to be a minimum amount votes before you get a place in Parliament. PR unfortunately just allows more bigots and loonies to get a hand in government, and mainstream parties have to pander to them to stay in power (which is, of course, the only real game in town for most (all?) politicians). As a result, the left goes further left, and the right goes further right. It is certainly the case in Australia and Israel (looking from outside) and probably in many other PR jurisdictions, so be careful what you wish for. We need something better, but as long as it involves political turkeys having to vote for Christmas, I doubt you will get it anytime soon.
  19. I agree, but if you are going to make use of technology, and keep the game moving, it may lead to less delay, which I thought was the original issue. Similar use to cricket and rugby (although I concede they don't seem to save time).
