In my opinion......yes. You probably wouldn't enjoy the same programmes that I do. That is your choice. The subject is: "Laughably s**t television." I've commented according to the subject matter of the thread. Let's just agree to disagree, OK..?

Kate Hoey (Leave) tweeted on 23 Feb that Tony Blair "should stop trying to use Northern Ireland's special situation to stop Brexit. Nobody has suggested sacrificing the Belfast agreement." Nobody, Kate..? Errr, you have. Hoey is the MP who said on February 19; "There is a need for a...

^^^ Read thread through^^^ ...........And some people on here are accusing ME of going off on one..!! :eyes:

We Must Do All We Can To Keep Brexit an "If" Not A "When" I learned two important things in my time as an activist at Uni. The first was to always promote the message, not letting yourself be sidetracked on the way. The other was that often, you get the best answers by throwing questions...

Somewhat depressingly, you make a good point. Unfortunately, that plays into the narrative of "Nothing can be done so do nothing."

Thanks to Paranoid Pineapple for writing something rather sensible above. I agree with pretty much most of what he says. So much for this thread being an echo chamber where I'm merely talking to myself. While I appreciate the sensible input of those who aren't merely attempting to derail...

I hope it's a good game but both teams will probably be more intent on not losing rather than trying to win. Not very entertaining. I did suggest we go to the rugby club early for a bit of the pre-match social before France vs England but my other half pointed out that the United / Liverpool...

Any of the dire rubbish served up by Sky Atlantic or on Sky One. Well, apart from the West Wing... that was fairly good.... but the rest is awful tripe. And actually, Dirk, watching Charlton getting humped at the weekend would be preferable to that.

They could always move to Millwall. From Dog Kennel Hill to Dog Shit City. Sorry Mark.... that was just too good an opportunity to miss.

The game of football may not die, but the sport of football just might if the cancer of cheating, orchestrated dissent, lack of sportsmanship, diving, feigning injury, time wasting and all the other things afflicting the game aren't tackled. Owners, coaches, managers, players and fans all seem...

No worries, Pags. I'll forgive the sarcasm. Your prediction was pretty accurate on paper, but football isn't played on paper. If predictions were that easy to make there'd be a lot of poor bookies around. But there aren't. For what it's worth, I think United fans are entitled to feel...

No s**t, Sherlock. Yes, it does look as though Chelsea players have wrapped their hands in again. "We're not going to play until we get a new boss." Quite shoddy behaviour, but footballers hold all the cards these days so Conte is just a dead man walking at Chelsea. And it looks like he knows...

You should look a little harder. United scraped home with a 3rd-minute-of-injury-time winner - OK, so there's no law against that - because the defender who should have blocked Matic's shot flinched instead of standing tall. If the defender doesn't lose his bottle.... if he takes a football...

Maisie Sly at the Oscar ceremony on Sunday evening. Maisie is profoundly deaf and all of her dialogue in the film is conducted by sign. An Oscar winner for Short Film (Live Action) "The Silent Child". Not bad for a 6 year old. She is an amazing little girl and so sweet I could just give...

I disagree Liam. I believe it could be the saviour of it. I guess it depends on your point of view. I'm not suggesting that what was trialled was brilliant, but the intention was right. I want to see a fair game of football, played to the rules. I accept that referees and assistants...

Hi Dirk. Long time no see. Thanks for the 'likes' Rocky (I hope you don't mind the nickname). I'm sorry to sound so negative about our chances at the world cup, but English fans have become so accustomed to being let down by our national team and it's difficult to see anything different...

Quite right Red. I agree with all you say. I too do not believe that the EU is perfect.... far from it. I'm glad we didn't join the Euro and I also believe that there is much that needs reform. But I firmly believe that the best way to fight for reform is from within. If you have a...

Meanwhile, keeping on topic and to the point of the whole thing........... This little sequence of comments by Daniel Hannan (founder member of Vote Leave) which fits the Brexit Watch raison d'etre like a glove. "Of all the scare stories propagated by EU supporters, the idea that the UK and...

We don't know how to play tournaments. We get to a world cup and then have no strategy as to how to go about winning it. Do we start slowly and build up? Or do we go "eyeballs out" from the start? Do we play our best XI in every match and only make changes when absolutely necessary? Or...

Yeah, between my last post and now, I've looked up the corporate structure of the Premier League and it turns out that: The Football Association Premier League Ltd is operated as a corporation and is owned by the 20 member clubs. Each club is a shareholder, with one vote each on issues such as...
