  1. If you're referring to Blair and the vote on the war on Iraq, then absolutely not. Labour had vastly more mps and almost twice as many Labour mps voted for it than Conservative. A chunk of labour's mps voted against, as did the lib dems, but it was still a large majority for. The support for the UN resolution to go for The colonel, was a huge vote for (over 500). A fair number abstained, and 13 voted against. Exactly how the for vote was comprised, I've no idea.
  2. Don't quite understand why the contract was given, seeing as he wasn't playing regularly.
  3. Yep. Not difficult to separate fair and reasonable criticism from abuse. It has been mentioned in the fan report I'm the BN today. Whatever folk think of the author's match reviews, he's spot on about this.
  4. There was a story in the media a while back about the village. Can't remember what it was now. Maybe a TV show?
  5. I think the situation with the colonel was a bit different. Iirc, it was all part of the Arab spring, with uprisings galore. Clearly, Western nations were happy to help, but I think the Libyan regime would have fallen anyway.
  6. Nah mate, your lass is clearly lying. He obviously knows differently. Yes, the care industry certainly does need improved regulation/inspection. As for how it all came about, seems to have been a gradual shift away from public to private in 80s and 90s. https://weownit.org.uk/public-ownership/care-work#:~:text=The history&text=During the 1980s and 1990s,market%2C replacing local authority services. The usual debate will ensue, but ultimately it shouldn't matter- quality should be assured and value given.
  7. They're not having a great season, hopefully he's learning though, and experience of a struggle benefits him in the long run.
  8. What odds could you get for playing them next season?🤣
  9. Yeah, it's truly weird. Must be a mental thing surely- he may as well just twat a few, and not worry about placing it.
  10. They certainly mix it up, started doing it last season. Constantly evolving.
  11. Trouble is, these freebies and unpopular policies are potentially going to empower and strengthen the resolve of the unions. If they see weaknesses, they will use them.
  12. No guarantees if a replacement comes in. Bit of a poisoned chalice now. Mind you, I reckon you'd hear the scouse screams here if they managed to appoint Klopp!😁
  13. What was so bad about the message she posted? I doubt anyone knows how much abuse he's been getting. Maybe this one is just a continuation of whatever has gone on previously. I'd suggest that even if her post wasn't necessary, then the response is truly pathetic and unacceptable. Bloke's a tosser.
  14. When it comes to goal scoring he really doesn't do himself justice. Undoubted skill etc but falls at the final hurdle.
  15. Been thinking about it a fair bit. I'd like to think it shows togetherness etc, but I suppose as long as he's performing then maybe that's what really matters. Who knows, he may have talked to his teammates about it, and they're fine with it. Going to leave it now though, as arguments can be made either way. More important are performances and results.
  16. No one makes other managers do it and maybe that's the genius of Pep- create something no one else does massively well, and then punish them!
  17. Did she start it, and equally, would she have bothered if there had been no previous abuse? Not sure where it all starts, but we know players and the manager have been getting ridiculous levels of stick. Her's isn't abusive neither.
  18. This. I'd hoped there was something positive to come from him and he has previously stood up to some of the more extreme elements in fairness. Alas, it is just a continuation of the same; and if you're going to spout about decency etc, then make sure you have no skeletons of your own. Or at least make sure they are well and truly buried.
  19. Anyway, back to the playing out from the back business. Watched match of the day over the last couple of weeks or so, and it is remarkable how many top level teams (and good teams within it) are getting caught out. Just last night there were several examples- not just us that struggle with it.
  20. He may be, but that wasn't my point. He wouldn't have been a robot at city- but he wanted to play regularly, and you can understand that.
  21. How do Northampton set up? They won at Huddersfield recently. Will be a difficult game.
