they were right to destroy Saddam (imo) ... but it should have been done first time around had Blair not done it on the basis of a lie he wouldn't be so reviled but America wanted it's revenge for 11/9 so badly they attacked the wrong country and Blair (and Bush) should have to pay the consequences for that Saddam was a CIA puppet who got too big for his boots.

Welcome to the EU wet dream: the ultimate people ponzi scheme. European governments don't just want mass immigration - they need it, or more to the point the banksters need it. Huge immigration leads to the illusion of GDP growth as more debt slaves (sorry, consumers) are added to the pile so that more money can be borrowed into existence. Of course GDP per capita is what's important to weigh the individual's living standards, but this is hardly ever reported. It makes me laugh that some posters here have referred to the UK as being in a 'recovery' - we are not! It's all a big lie. Osbourne has borrowed more money than all the other chancellors in UK history - let me repeat that - more than all the other chancellors put together... and were still adding ninety billion a year, even with the fire sales of anything not nailed down (including the NHS) If we were in recovery interest rates would not be at near zero with deflation around the corner. The economy is foooked and is about to come off the rails properly (it was postponed in 2008 with all the QE). The stock market will slowly burn and houses will crash properly, especially in the SE. So what is 'full' anyway? There is certainly plenty of land in the UK that can be built on, it just happens to be owned by the land grabbing families who took it all in 1066. You could free up 2% of the green belt (that really isn't green belt) and build two million homes and all the infrastructure you need. BUT.... that isn't my definition of full. In WW2 we had a population of some 40 million inhabitants, yet when we were blockaded by U-boats we had to go on strict rations (even after the war). Now we're rapidly heading for double that number, how are we supposed to feed ourselves if push came to shove? The UK is taking more and more food from 'developing' nations - having to compete with the likes of China in the process. What happens when these countries say 'no more'? Yes these people need help, just not the sort that we and our fellow interfering ally across the pond keep dishing out.

There's only one - 2-0 away to the Arse '81. Shit score, shit performance, won the league.

I hope the cough-n-drop was included in his medical.

Gabby's the sort of player to bring on if you're one up and your backs to the wall. Just to relieve the pressure and nick one on the break. He has about as much chance of unlocking a tight defence as Carlton Palmer.

Strange, there was i thinking a goalkeeper was bought in for his ability to keep the ball out of the net but I've been wrong all these years. It's all about his ability to punt it upfield cos all goalkeepers have identical saving abilities.

Each to their own. what about Gabby?

Common sense would dictate that playing the ball out/around from the back is a better bet than punting the ball upfield when it's likely to come straight back. These are professional footballers - a fifteen yard pass to a team mate is a basic requirement.

Well done Czechlad. Case closed as far as I'm concerned. Everyone can concentrate on the next game when Brad gets the blame for Gabby tripping up over his own tongue.

Poor man's Withe? Then again Withe had Morley, Sid and many others who could actually cross and pass a ball. As and when service improves...

Your post is spot on except for one thing: 'witch hunt is the correct term to use. when people are looking to blame where none can be apportioned, that's a witch hunt.

This witch hunt is pathetic. Brad did nothing wrong. Why, because a full-back can't control a football?

There is no median line with people like you is there? What do you mean 'You People?'

Spotted outside Man City

When does he have them games where hes unplayable? I'd say he's pretty much unplayable all of the time - but he still gets picked.

Wow. He didn't put a foot wrong tonight. I know you're entitled to your opinion, but it's just wrong. Never said he did, Brad does this every game he cannot kick the ball out from the ground and tries to play it out from the defence and it does not work. So all the best teams hoof it then?

Ha, I just read that in Tuco's accent.

Actually, perhaps he's struggling with all the Jordans on the pitch

Yorke hasn't been the same since getting all those STDs from Katie Vice.

I wonder what he's been drinking

Not sure that proves much, if anything. It only went through to Weimann because Kozak tried to control it and failed, which wrong-footed the City centre-backs. It was just a hopeful punt upfield though. it was a Lambert team - everything was a hopeful punt upfield back then.

Couldn't give a toss if every kick went straight into the ref's knacker sack. His primary job is to keep the ball out of the net. He's one of the best around at it.

Where do you see us finishing? Exactly. Say you're a pundit and you're commenting on a team that almost got relegated then lost its best players over the summer. Maybe some of those that came in will come good - speculative. Failed to pull up any trees in pre-season and your captain is a right-back wannabe CB who couldn't get a game in Italy. What do you think anyone sensible is going to say? Tim is still an unproven manager. Hopefully we can really surprise a few, but I can't see anything higher than 15th.

Micah will wear the armband on the pitch. Gabby will wear his down the pool.
