United will be playing their 5 game in 13 days when they play us. Not sure their experienced players will be able to play all of them. And on paper anyway, we would appear to be the easiest. I'm counting Wet spam away as more difficult only because it's away. I doubt they would rest anyone against Man City.

If you look at the Man City forum they cant believe they let Barry go, and Everton forum reckon he's one of the players of the season. He should have far more caps than he has.But anyway, Delph must be in for a shout. But I reckon the England squad is picked by Simon Cowell. Big name for a media club, pick them. Then we'll have a talent show. Jack Rodwell, big him up, xmas single. contract to sit on the bench a Man City, then move on to the next one, probably Andros Townsend and Barkeley head to head. Big contracts to them, then move on.

I think the other Stoke back , Pieters I think wen't off Injured last week as well

If only his brother would give him a slap and make him wear pads. If you're a bit broke he could use paperback books.

probably right there, but I tend to doubt some of the other stuff when I see such glaring errors. It makes me think what else is made up.

I have to say that seems a ridiculous valuation. £5m per school. I'm sure you might get close to that in London, but I have just checked my daughters school in Yorkshire, a rough guess on the size and got land costs of land registry, but its a 2000 kid school and you could buy that land for less than £1m

That my thoughts too

This does seem to be a bit one sided, doesn't it?. Its not as if the previous lot were competent when it comes to IT cock ups.

So you can torture it but not kill it then it'd be ok.

No I'm not bothered about either, I just can't see the difference in pain/death/ suffering between the two. Except that one is done by the rich and the other more commonly by the rest of us

If it's not a class thing, why isn't coarse fishing banned. You don't eat the fish you catch, You just put a hook in it's mouth, weigh it and then throw it back. It serves no purpose other than the catch or kill.

yup but they have lost a defender, through injury

I'm balanced because I have a chip on both shoulders :-) ........ I am sure someone would have said that :-) On a more general point it's interesting that even people who have little affinity to Benn's political beliefs have commented about his style of political "behaviour". Surely this shows the public are crying out for a return to political figures who are more about serving the people they represent rather than themselves. The political world at all levels is full of bullies and ego-tistical Walter Mitty types across the whole political spectrum and that is why so many now in the general public despise them and what they stand for. There is a massive void in the political world at the moment and it will be interesting if it is ever filled or is allowed to be filled. I despise comments re Milliband's apperance for example, what in the world does that have in terms of relevance. Osborne looks like a "window licker" someone put on Twitter recently, I just wanted to reply so what, that is not what makes him objectionable it's his behaviour and beliefs. Ah well back to a week of watching the start of the run up to the SA elections, now that is a eye opener :-) Not often I say this, but I completely agree with Drat

well that's one opinion for sure

Says it all for me. Some cracking posts in this thread most of which show the man the high level of respect he so very much deserves. Those that don't say far more about the person posting than they do about Tony Benn. RIP Tony. One of the last of a very rare breed of politicians. That's a bit naughty considering the posts in the Margaret Thatcher thread

seemed to be a firm believer in what he fought for even if in my view he was wrong. However I wish more politicians had their own beliefs and stuck to them. So I admire him for that RIP.

and when it lands everyone at the airport should wear ape /monkey costumes to really freak them out With a model of the statue of Liberty lying on it's side

I'd like there to be some gravitational surge, which brings the moon hurtling towards earth and then picking up the pull from the sun again, just missing the earth by 6 foot, just catching me on the back of the head, That would be a cool way to go

fox hunting was about class, nothing else

isn't that a bit racist

I think if you saw that image alone, without any understanding of previous images, and the way PR seeks to manipulate perceptions through the creation of essentially false and staged images, that would be a reasonable reaction. But we all know, don't we, that the picture is posed with the specific intent of conveying gravitas, statesmanship and the like. The reason there are now many thousands of pisstaking sendups of the picture circulating the internet is because the staging is so transparent, so blatant, and so unsuccessful, as to make it an object of derision. Here's another where they screwed up quite badly. You'd think as a former PR person, Cameron would realise how shockingly poor these efforts are. Or perhaps that's the standard he worked to in that job, as well as his present one. I'm sure Peter, but I was admiring the Psychological take on it.

wow

Oh he's fair game to be ridiculed, any public figure is, but that's not what was said.

like I said, some leap

That;s some leap from a picture of someone on the phone
