I certainly give it a read after most games but generally if I go to the game I’ll not bother looking till after and if I’m not at the games I’m usually spending time with the kids. By the time I’ve looked pretty much everything has been said.

Corbyn's nationalisation lunacy has killed Talk Talk's deal, hammered BT's share price & your pension. Hundreds of internet companies have taken a hit overnight & are now making plans to quit the UK if necessary, hitting jobs & the country's tax take.

A deal to sell FibreNation to CityFibre has been postponed until after the general election, Sky News understands.

- Why you can trust Sky News
The Labour Party's pledge to nationalise broadband provision across Britain by 2030 has forced TalkTalk to postpone the sale of its full-fibre infrastructure arm until after next month's general election.
Sky News has learnt that the FTSE-250 company is to delay the signing of a deal to sell FibreNation, which has ambitions of delivering ultrafast broadband to 3m homes, for at least a month.
A deal was on the brink of being signed on Thursday night for FibreNation to be sold to CityFibre Holdings, a venture part-owned by the Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs.
The agreement would have been announced alongside TalkTalk's half-year results on Friday morning. - Instead, TalkTalk said in its earnings announcement that it remained in "ongoing advanced negotiations with interested parties".
CityFibre had been vying with Macquarie, the Australian infrastructure investor, to secure a transaction, but in recent days had edged ahead of its rivals in the race to buy the business.
Labour's announcement that it would nationalise BT Group's broadband infrastructure division, Openreach, has stunned the British telecoms industry, with one trade association, Tech UK, describing it as "a huge setback for the UK's digital economy".
Labour put the cost at £20bn - a figure that was dismissed by people close to BT, who argued that it would be multiples of that sum.
No I think CB is bob. Funny how Wills has gone very quiet for someone so vocal?At least we both know who we are.
That convinced me even more who you really are/were.......wow !!!
I’m pretty shocked
Corbyn is an idiot and comes out with crap. I’m surprised they are worried as he won’t get elected.
After reading some of your posts of late I thought you had been kidnapped and replaced by someone else.
Think I will watch the Wales game tonight, cheer on a fellow british team instead of that live debate. My vote is 100% labour so I dont need to hear anything else.
I see smug Remoaner-in-Chief Jolyon Moron has dropped a bit of a bollock, maybe Banks will engage M'learned friends...

Not at all. Very safe labour seat here, to the point I dont even have to vote.
Don’t like the Welsh team for some reason. Absolutely nothing against the country. The debate will be a total farce anyway.

TWO MPs were caught trying to nick valuable furniture from their Parliamentary offices before they were chucked out for the election last week, The Sun can reveal.
One of them even tried to steal a chaise lounge, a security official said.

Two MPs tried to steal furniture from the office in Parliament before kicked out for the election
The two incidents spurred the Parliamentary authorities to send a letter to all departing MPs warning them not to steal furniture.
In the memo they warned MPs they have a list of all furniture and artwork in their offices so will be able to identify any missing items.
Security official refused to name either of the MPs who were caught trying to steal furniture.
But the official told The Sun: “Security have stopped two MPs removing antique furniture this week. One even had a chaise lounge.”
More than 70 MPs decided to stand down at this election.
The letter sent by Commons authorities to each of the departing MPs warned: “Please ensure that any artworks belonging to the Parliamentary Art Collection or Historic Furniture Collection items are left in-situ on your departure.”
The MPs standing for re-election are not allowed back in their parliamentary offices for the five weeks before an election.
The ban is designed to prevent MPs using their parliamentary offices or research to benefit give them an unfair advantage on the

That's the closest you've come to posting anything that might be considered accurate on this thread. Corbyn would do well to get a draw what with the constant press smears you and your fellow turkeys have fallen for.
We could see a slip up though Watford.... Remember Corbyn has a short fuse and Boris gets a bit 'Latinish' when cornered.
Mate, we'll be on a sunlounger come election day, so who gives a **** about which of these ****s ends up a "winner" tonight, although it might be funny to see BawJaws put under a bit of pressure and hear what waffle the lying toerag comes out with. Don't think Corbyn has anything to lose as the media seem hell bent on trashing anything he says anyway, but can't see him doing anything spectacular this evening either. Even if I was here on 12th, neither would be getting my vote anyway.....
