Everyone is working so hard in training. They're really clear on what they need to do. There's been so much change. Things will settle down now. They're not far away from where he wants to be. Peterborough have got a new manager so it's difficult. Blah blah blah You can tell how much pressure he's under by the number of facial ticks. Especially the smile grimace at the end of statements.

Because none of us were in possession of all the facts until after the EFL ruling. Once you read through their findings and the evidence submitted, and how the club had initially lied about it and tried to laugh it off, the inevitability of the expulsion became obvious. At least to me it did.

Think he probably is. I remember a YouTube video of Clare Balding talking about working with Saints Foundation and how her nephews (probably his kids) were all Saints fans.

I agree with what you're saying. But whether or not that vote had passed, a significant number of green supporters would still have backed it, and it's little different to factions within a given political party managing to get their preferred candidate to lead it. As for PR, I think it would almost certainly result in the greens forming part of the next government. As soon as we switch away from FPTP, people will stop gifting their vote to the big 2 parties and smaller parties (that previously had no chance to form a government) will start picking up lots of votes. Most of the electorate is thick and has minimal awareness, and as you say, the greens won't include their hamas parroting policy in their manifesto.

Trained by Andrew Balding, brother of Clare, she is well known to be a Saints fan, don't know about her brother, but they were brought up in Kingsclere.

Not fucking Brexit again 😂😂 ffs

Geezer, you have to trust the process.

And yet Brexit happened because the cheerleaders for it successfully appealed to that sense of national pride among voters in 2016. I would argue that is a much greater factor in why Britain is where it is now.

Northam Fan Zone Kiosks 20 (Chapel), 35 (Kingsland), 42 & 44 (Northam) will all be open after the final whistle to allow fans to purchase food and drink and remain in the concourse and help our egress from the stadium with the different restrictions in place and home fans not being able to leave via Melbourne Street. 2pm - Live music from Calum Lintott 3pm - Live music from The Moonrunners

And pride comes before a fall.

I don't think so, wasn't the whole build up last year overshadowed by Mr Westwood losing his wig at Romsey Town ?

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. A lack of national pride is why Britain is deteriorating into a shit hole in my opinion.

Do you deny the existence of the Māori, Afrikaners, Japanese, Chinese, etc etc Or is it just the English that aren’t entitled to an ethnicity?

The panel said it was "entirely satisfied that Eckert did not know that his actions breached EFL regulations or were considered morally wrong" Those on here who ridiculed those of us that suggested that was the case probably haven't changed their minds but at least we are in good company.

Human habitation in Britain approx 900 000 years Flag-shagging claims approx 1000 years Conclusion: Flag-shaggers claim to shape destiny of where they inhabit, is based on a tiny period of occupation of it. Thanks for the link to the cinema. Always good to be reminded about great cinema from across the world. And founded by someone born in London I see. Another success for the muti-cultural melting pot that is Britain!

Fair comments. Often when this discussion has arisen in the past, my observation is that many of the people who express pride about the good bits of British history tend to wash their hands of the negative stuff and refute any connection. The way I see it, you can't have it both ways. I'm not dismissing history though, by any means. I fully acknowledge the labours and the sacrifices of so many, including my own ancestors. My great grandfather was killed in the Battle of the Atlantic in 1942, and his brother was KIA somewhere in Belgium during WW1, when millions of young men were sent to their deaths in the name of 'national pride' (largely just to satisfy the egos of the ruling classes of the time). But I can't bring myself to feel pride about things that I have no control over or happened before I was born. Pride is something I reserve only for my own achievements or those of my daughter.

I’m going to reinvest my winnings into Leo scoring the 4th goal on Sunday

Your point is kind of stupid and irrelevant, considering many other ethnic groups in the UK are more than willing to divide themselves into tribes: Debating the minutiae of the Anglo-Saxon ethnic group seems pointless when other ethnic groups have proven they are willing to segregate and promote themselves over the rest. But even more than that, as I said previously, the idea that a group that has been defined since the 9th or 10th century, over 1000 years, is somehow “a tiny span” is completely preposterous. 927AD is not a short time ago. LOL.

Just to further my point, that you put in bold. I prefer having parties who have a membership who set out their positions clearly, so the electorate (or the authorities) can judge them on it. The beeb had some analyst on who either worked for papers and/or had prior jobs in politics. Among their suggestions were that Polanski should have buried it; that the party leadership should have veto power over what motions their membership want to raise. Basically, another party where the leadership makes the policy regardless of what their supporters actual back them to do. The person who raised the bill is being internally investigated by her own party. But 1022 others happily voted into policy (it won't be in their manifesto, but a single Palestinian state is now policy). I prefer knowing where they truly stand. One commentator said they now have an Islamist voting bloc, which must be fought by the Green leadership. But there will be degrees right across their party. But better knowing, through democratic voting within a grassroots party, than the leadership covering it up, and this lot being unleashed in a proportional representation coalition of the future.

Easy winner

Is TCWTB still on our banned list?

Came 4th, returned £7.10. I'm off to celebrate!

My point was that putting limits on what counts as the proper ethnicity in a region, say 1000 years, is arbitrary. From my druid perspective none of the later groups, calling themselves whatever they like, Romans, Saxons etc have any true claim to the land. That applies to later groups too, including the English. Yet all are perfectly entitled to be proud of their heritage, the land and whatever bits of their culture they like. But claiming that a historically tiny span, mixed in with invasions and massive migrations (which completely mix up cultural group names) is somehow the only bit that has a true claim is for the birds (who are happily migrating away, laughing down at such notions) My Neolithic pal will be along shortly to laugh at my druidic claim to the land, despite my claim predating all of these other latecomers.

Anyone know if fanzones will be open after game to hopefully celebrate & watch the Premiership games?
