    Scott Taylor. Can't remember what foot he preferred

    Same with Bob, I think he was right footed - when he wasn't using his head.

    I think he’s very credible as an individual. He also speaks very well. 
     

    The problem is momentum and it’s hard left approach to politics. As long as momentum control and continue to poison the party then they’re pissing in the wind. 
     

    Labour in the centre left with starmer in charge would I believe be a real force and he would win back a number of lost votes. 

    No chance. Gary Megson was more charismatic in front of the camera.

    He's (Starmer) spent the last 3 years trying to overturn the referendum result, and saying Leavers didn't know what they were voting for etc blah blah blah - Not very credible IMO.

    How a knighted millionaire is going to win back the northern working class vote is going to be difficult - if not impossible.

  3. The rattlers tend to run on time;  paper tickets, no seat reservations, no wifi, but you arrive on time and they're cheaper.

    It's the fancy-dancey TPE that have the problems with punctuality > All the gear no idea.

    Blackburn to Halifax tends to arrive early at every stop.

    If I'm honest, I'm still meh about the performance... I've kinda grown accustomed to it, and Saturday was a massive reality check. I've felt worse about a scoreline

    We were shit. Possibly as shit as we've been... 

    However, I'm still grateful we're turning up week after week, and yeah we've got some dick heads (and in hindsight I'm far from proud of my overall behaviour on the day): but still, we dust ourselves down and go again. 

    Black Sunday hurt, with a passion, for obvious reasons. 

    Reading was a sign of things to come

    Stoke more so, at Wembley, where we thought we had a chance... Hurt more than anything

    Let's all calm down, and see what happens. Brush it off. The lows allow us to appreciate the highs. Nobheads will be Nobheads, some of us have our day more often than others... But ultimately we share the same dreams, experience the same dramas, some of us have the same demons 

    We all have the same undying, passionate love that we express in our own individual way. We will rise again, all of us together

    +1

    Corbyn is an utter clown who is putting Momentum before country. Likewise for Boris on his side. 

    This whole Brexit bollocks had disaster written all over it pre referendum and has proven so. Cameron has a lot to answer for the shiny faced plum.

    How dare Cameron give the public a say about where their money is going. 😯

    They'd lose a lot of the support they have.

    2 wins would put most protests to bed. There'll always be people moaning, but a follow up win would nail it.

    But it wouldn't though.

    We'd still have knobheads organising marches and petitions. Not to mention the BBC initiated shouting at College Green

    We were just promoted, and back then teams promoted in to the second tier entered in round 1. 

    It was also the season I got the bug

    Not watched the clip yet, does browny score a peach? Yellow kit, I think it wasn't manufactured by Reebok per se, it was a generic material, and they added the collar from the home and away kit. 

    I remember flicking through sky, and finding it on a late Saturday night or something. As the lad of a Utd fan I was pretty oblivious to our TV exposure back then. 

     

    It wasn't available to buy, until the end of the season from Centre Spot. I could've probably bought Stubbs match shirt, but didn't. 

    I was clearly a foolish teenager with no foresight

    Saturday tea time live on Sky.

    Very lively afterwards. 

    Looking forward to tomorrow and what I can remember, if anything

    Johnson changes his mind with the wind and the EU know him well

    How about the EU changing their mind?

    You know when they said, time and time again, that the original 'deal' with the Backstop wouldn't be changed?

    We know the EU well - they've been full of bullshit for decades.

    Bill cash doing his usual. :)

    What a waste of time this is. Brought back early from prorogation, and done very little since.

    Just get the bill going.

    Glad someone else noticed. The opposition benches went beserk after the prorogation, now they just want to dither and delay.

    Point is they couldn't vote last time and that is not fair. Second referendum would at least give them that chance.

    3 years after the 2nd referendum, today's 16 and 17 year olds will say they didn't get a chance to vote and they'll want a 3rd referendum.

    It seems as though he is writing one 

    Aye, he writes a letter, then gives it to Rees Mogg to post, who puts it on his sideboard for a couple of days before giving it to Mark Francois - whose dog eats it 😯

    A half decent solicitor will love to handle this one, especially when the punishment is a £100 fine.

     

    12 days. Tick Tock 🕘

    Blackford and the snp have proven they want to keep going on referendums til they get their desired outcome. If only life was that simple. 

     

     

    Blackford's like a broken record - repeat repeat.

    Same old same old.

    A cue to turn PMQs off early every Wednesday.

    He bangs on about Boris writing this letter to his beloved EU, maybe he (Blackford) should put in writing that he will accept the result of referendums.

    Well you obviously haven't been paying attention then. The EU has been a huge driver in improving workers rights, environmental standards and food/product safety.  It has also been a significant investor in social, transport and building infrastructure as well as innovation, research and technological advancement ( I refer you to Boris Johnsons speech at the recent Tory conference). 

    We had workers' rights long before we "joined" the EU. 

    Never anything wrong with food standards here either (including tomatoes!).

    And to suggest British building infrastructure and innovation is due to EU membership is quite frankly ridiculous.

    Total nonsense as per

    Another negative post. 😟

    It would've been interesting to read something positive about the EU  -  but after 1050 pages, I won't hold my breath.

    Is that the only argument you have ?

    Nothing has been proven yet, so stop all this guff and give it time.

    The only argument remainers have is fear and negativity. 

    Positivity and forward thinking doesn't enter their minds.
