    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Cameron stands for nothing. He is a CEO. When asked why he wanted to be prime minister, he said "Because I think I'd be good at it." Says it all. This perception of Eton entitlement, of a Bullingdon boy going on a great big lark ... is one of the key reasons why idealistic rightwingers such as...

    Keep your eyes peeled for the poster who makes liberal use of 'bang on' and 'fair play'.

    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Ultimately a fair price to pay to break the papal hold over Britain. Whenever I see news reports about the Catholic hold in Africa and South America, I ask myself why Henry VIII gets such a bad rap.

    Even I must admit....

    I reckon most of us with similar thinking would say that Thorn was ultimately blameless. It was SISU who could and should have sacked Thorn early in the season. To hold SISU culpable on that score is fair game; it is the defence of Thorn's managerial abilities which is bewildering.

    Yep - and we see the average wage of the PL footballer go up accordingly. It is tough to see how CCFC would be too far from the average mark when you consider the makeup of the PL teams. We certainly wouldn't have come close to spending as much as the top six, say.

    I think Dublin was on a smiliar whack. But that same squad had the likes of Filan, Borrows, Ducros and O'Neill. Just to add: you can see the average wage almost double over the next couple of years. So the likes of McAllister and Dublin were probably just symptomatic of higher wages in football...

    Paul Telfer on Sky Blues plight...

    Top man and underrated player. Played anywhere asked of him - usually anywhere but his strongest position (central midfield); was our best set piece taker before McAllister arrived; refused to take a wage when his leg was broken; maximum effort every outing. Every squad could do with a Telfer.

    I remember somebody doing a breakdown of player transfers during the Richardson regime, to find CCFC had made a handsome surplus. When you then factor in years of Premier League money and the cash from the sale of Highfield Road, one does wonder how that £60m figure came about.

    A Chippy. SISUed.

    It may be many of the above, but accurate? Please.

    A Chippy. SISUed.

    Would the chippy owner be more inclined to negotiate if it was the only customer in town?

    I'm not sure how you can pin immigration on such dramatic figures. The charts are about the contrasting effects of MT's economic policies.

    So what is Mr Haskell's "sound and realistic plan"?

    Haskell in Casino

    No clue as to what his arrangements would be, but why use your own cash when you can easily borrow? I assume his credit line is good ...

    He'd borrow.

    Stuart Linnell should be sacked

    Let's talk about below the belt. Here pgsm calls Linnell "utterly vile ... almost as bad as Jan ... no intelligence or integrity ... simpering." Here he calls Old Sky Blue "inherently ignorant" and SISU backers as being deluded. Here he tells people who disagree with him to "fuck off...
