Top 6 in PL already in position after 6-7 games, meanwhile we are not consistent enough to be a real threat in the champo and so sit just below the play-offs. Is that it for the season? What suggests otherwise?

as musically and culturally significant as the spice girls, bay city rollers etc.. they are significant because they were liked by millions and so they reflect something of the times. But artistically, no, because imo the intellectual depth and sensitivity isn't there. But very few bands are...

this season will decide whether he stays or goes. My prediction is one of these: 1. We make top 6 (probable) but don't get promoted (also quite probable). Carrick then moves on to a PL club. 2. We get promoted, so he stays. 3. We don't quite make the top 6. Carrick moves on to a medium PL club...

I agree with Price. A much overrated band, just gobby mancunians with nothing of much to say. They'll barely be a footnote in a few decades and, as my old man once said, I wouldn't go and watch them in my garden shed. But they must appeal to a lot of people, though, but I just don't get it...

reading this thread it's interesting how views on housing reflects political positions. Personally, I won't buy a second home to boost my retirement income because I think it's immoral and I have socialist values. I'd rather be poorer and not add to the housing problem, I feel happier with...

can't really see how you can stop the purchase of second homes in a capitalist housing market. Housing is a commodity/investment in this system so this will always override local needs in places where there is profit to be made. In an ideal world we would house everyone, because it's a basic...

sounds like the 2012 Olympics.

I would do bath in one day and Bristol in two. Start in Bristol with the M Shed museum for history education and walk down to SS Gt Britain along the river. Also Queen Square, Bristol old vic, Arnolfini, ramble around Clifton Village and over Suspension Bridge. All within walking distance and...

England winning for me. This is a far bigger national thing that few have experienced in their life time. Boro can wait another season. Winning tomorrow night is a form of completion, the icing on the cake, Boro promotion is just a part of a process to play bigger clubs and probably struggle...

better a few senior moments than a lot crazy ones

We can neutralize the Dutch, comatose them, nullify them, with Harry plodding around the penalty area and sideways passing we'll beat them into submission, send them into a trance, and win on pens again. But I have a feeling that we'll be 2-0 down this time before Gareth changes anything and...

He should certainly never be allowed to drive again. I think of that bit in a Clockwork Orange when he's forced the see the consequences of his actions.

I like Southgate. He's a nice bloke, not egotistic, and has brought the team together, so he deserves a lot of respect. But as we know he struggles to change things to effect when it's really needed during a match, so it's unlikely he'll win a tournament. I'd be very surprised if we beat the...

TUSC No chance of getting in but agree with what they stand for.

based on performances so far, no. If we now play to our potential, then yes. But I can't see how we can suddenly become a fast paced attacking, joined up team when we have been so slow and prefer kicking the ball sideways and hanging back. It obvious we lack energy and drive, possibly drained...

It's time Lineker had a go with Shearer his assistant. Southgate could then take Lineker's place and be the pundit. That would probably be more interesting than watching England play.

I was in the shed (my brother in law had a free ticket for me). This wasn't a good place to be as a boro supporter. It was obvious before kick off that there was going to be trouble at the end. There were fights breaking out amongst the Chelsea mob at the final whistle. I got out as quick as I...

Just make sure that the builders will be done when they say it will be done. Make some kind of formal contract with a date on it otherwise you could get into a mess planning to move back in and its not finished. I say this because my extension is still going on 4 months after the 'completion'...

That was a training match for Germany. No real opposition with no shots at goal. No contest. Pathetic. I do feel a bit for the tartan army.

Ask God. We live on a little lonely rock floating around a ball of fire, so let's be grateful we can ask such questions.
