Theresa May told Jeremy Corbyn at PMQs, that she didn't like to think of it as austerity, but as, living within your means. She also told Corbyn you can't have a policy of unlimited welfare. Surprisingly he never tried to correct the PM on that assertion.

I can't recall a post on this thread saying Labour should be creating jobs and opportunities. I've seen posts on the welfare bill and welfare spending. The obligatory posts on the vulnerable, but nothing to do with the nation's aspirations.

Wenger might like him. But not for £40m. Paper talk.

Corbyn represents the heart of the party. But where is it's head?

Arsenal have two injured at the time of writing (Jenkinson and Welbeck). Wilshere is the new Darren Anderton and shouldn't apply to this discussion.

Just for you then :) Arsenal have always been a passing team. You're right there. But the degree of passing changed from the team of Adams, Keown, Overmars, Henry, Bergkamp to the team of Fabregas, Hleb, Flamini, Baptista. The former needed 4 or 5 pass from Arsenal's defence to the back of the...

Ibe + Allen = Wijnaldum. It's these types of purchases that put pressure on the manager and player to succeed right away.

Corbyn is a principled and decent human being. His politics reflects this. But the problem is his economic policies are unworkable. Look what happened when Nick Clegg campaigned for an end to tuition fees and went back on his word, once he was in power and saw it was unachievable. Although...

If in the unlikely event Owen Smith were to win the Labour leadership. He will find swing voters are on the right of the political spectrum. Why is it so hard for some posters to see this reality? Owen Smith nor anyone else on the left could move the party that far right and remain credible...

A lot of people said they wanted a new kind of politics. In Corbyn they got it. Now some of those same people vilify him for not playing the game. He really can't win. Ed Miliband was never going to win an election, but the PLP reluctantly stuck with him. Why not show the same fortitude with...

I think United may want to sell in order to offset the cost of the Pogba deal. Mata, Fellaini and Depay are obvious choices for the exit. But does Blind and Januzaj join them?

You'd argue holding off Bayern is tougher than holding off Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City? How does anyone begin to argue that? Roger's employed the pressing style. To great effect, although it had it's limitations. Most of which I've already expressed.

Klopp had to overcome Bayern to win the league. In England he has both Manchester clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal. Not to mention the clubs that we're in direct competition with i.e. Spurs, West Ham, Southampton etc. As a Liverpool supporter I would take CL football or failing that a few youth...

I saw you get schooled on the Labour pains thread, by Max. So I've got to admit I'm not too worried about the merits of your opinion. If you did start to critique my logic, you would at some point mention Barcelona as the perfect example of a pressing side. To which I would counter, Barcelona's...

You mean Leicester who had no European commitments. Who took advantage of both Manchester clubs informing their managers they were no longer required. Chelsea having a long overdue meltdown. And the weakest minded club in Spurs, chase you for the title. It would be better if you compared like...

Skrtel was a committed player for us. He contributed far more than he's credited for. His selflessness meant he integrated well, with the team dynamic. In contrast, Lovren is more outspoken and appears to be more egotistically driven. Despite having more flaws to his game than Skrtel, his...

I obviously care about the club and don't want to see it throw good money away. Money that could be better spent on someone else or kept, until the right player became available. Arguing it's not my money is lame. Surely all supporters want what's best for their club. This purchase at this...

I hope FSG veto the Wijnaldum deal at £20m+. He's barely worth what Newcastle paid for him. Yet we're willing to pay above and beyond. If we have money to burn, why not go for Yaya Toure. World Class certified. Just what we need!

I think Newcastle can see us coming. What are the chances they slap on another £5m (£30m total) on the player and we pay it. Some days are just depressing.

Theresa May's speech is hogwash. Cameron said similar when he became Prime Minister and of course he lifted it from Tony Blair. Theresa May is covering her bases with that speech. A smart LEFT jab followed by a good RIGHT hook! If you put forward a list of future labour leaders with the...
