No those were PBP-AAA types. The Nazi scum tried to have a peaceful march and the state moved in to protect their freedom of speech...

You might be right but the only glimmer I see from United's point of view is Arsenal. Only a glimmer though, don't see united overtaking any of the current top 4.

i think city without kompany are completely lost in defense, arsenal not exactly in the best of form atm either. i think there will be more chances for united to get top 4 than most think, the only problem i have is trusting this united team to get over the line with how this season has went.

for them to get top 4 everything needs to go right for them, rooney needs to keep scoring, martial needs to keep up his form and they need to stay injury free, i just cant see all of that happening.

One poll shows gov parties on 41%, one on 33%, and the other in the middle. I think what it mainly shows is that polling is absolutely broken. You can't have valid samples that are that far apart, ergo they're not sampling the population correctly. Also national level support isn't even that important. If Lab has 5% concentrated in the right constituencies they can get 10 seats, if they have a spread out 10% support they can get no seats.

The political landscape is highly fragmented. I predict messiness.

Followed by FG/FF government.

Even if United had a perfect record until the end of the season, which they won't, they wouldn't finish 4th. Too far behind too many teams.

The depressing part is that this might be as good as it gets for a few years. When Feguson stepped down I figured it would be 4-5 years before United challenged for the title again, I still think we're at day 1 of that 4-5 year period.

I fully expect Chelsea to do United tomorrow, the record against Chelsea is abysmal, especially at their place, Arsenal will win and United will be 8 points off 4th and only 1 point ahead of 6th with a worse goal difference. Could easily finish 7th or 8th this season and that's more likely than 4th at this point.

[mdoug]

That's the 3rd person that has said 8pts. Not sure if people actually think it'll be 8, or if they're counting goal difference vs city :P

But nah, probably a very poor game with scraping it by 1.

yeah i agree with everything here for the most part, i didnt expect to challenge for the title for a while, i never expected us to go the way we've gone though, and ive no idea how they are gonna get back to were they were. maybe mourinho comes in and does the job( im not 100% that we'll even get him although rumours are pointing towards that at the end of the season) tomorrows game could go either way imo, yes our record at stamford bridge is awful, but we dont know what chelsea will show up tomorrow or what united will show up, could be an awful 0-0 or a crazy 3-2/3-3 kinda game with both of the teams form this year. if we beat them i can see every united fan getting their hopes up again like every time we've put in a good performance this year, only to revert back to the shite that we've seen most of the season.

and like i said there will be chances for united to get top 4, but they just wont get the wins to do it, and like you said prob too far behind teams now anyways.

As a previous lifelong FF voter, with one SF voting experience exception, I think FF need to be punished for the horrific way they ran the country. FG/Lab on the other hand seem like a group of decent people. Not perfect, but definitely decent. Wouldn't like to see them having to go into coalition with FF, and wouldn't like the ultra-left to be the main opposition. Just my opinion though.

FF/SF/LAB/SD/leftish Indos will save us all.

Well, for about the two weeks prior to the inevitable collapse anyway.

I saw the FG party political broadcast earlier ( living the dream on a sat night), a load of everyday people saying how great they feel thanks to FG. One lad at the end says something along the lines of sure it would be stupid not to vote for them, I'm surprised they didn't edit it out after Enda's gaffe about people not understanding the figures.

Does anyone know if governments have been returned across Europe in elections over the past couple of years beyond what might be statistically expectable?

Surely we are to see a rallying for the government parties here over the next weeks as the reality of which government can be in office comes to the fore of the debate.

A consummation most devoutly to be wished.

Normally junior coalition partners get screwed because the policies they implement are largely the majority partners ones with a few concessions thrown in, but FF and FG are largely the same thing politically, so aside from the fact that their voters might be abhorred at the idea of going into government with the other, this won't apply.

FF will do a lot better once the likes of Michael Martin who were around for the Bertie years are removed from the party.

It'll be interesting to see though if the only logical coalition actually can do a deal or if we'll be stuck with a weird conglomerate of misfits who really won't last though.

[elbows]

The only chance of a stable government is reelecting the current one. If both FG and labour beat that drum enough they might get enough middle class support to pull it off. Maybe with a tag on of a few independents. I am voting labour for the first time as I think they are actually a good partner for FG. There could be a giant shit storm though if the predicted seats for each party are correct. When push comes to shove who is going to vote Sinn Fein bar border areas and inner/working class dubs and also Fianna Fáil, who can vote for a party with Michael Martin as its leader( same might be said for enda but I don't think he is evil)

+1 minus the voting for FF or SF. FF need to be punished more, will be mentioning it to party members at the door, they need to get rid of Martin before I even consider givvng them a vote. Think I'm stuck with FG and Lab again this time.

[RichieM]

United will get Europe, just not champions league. Can see mourinho coming in but not for long and then giggsy taking over for long term.
Sure hopefully can bink 1 europa league finally

United go for pellegrini surely. No relocation package, all ready the cit rivalry is ingrained and a good manager.

The hilarity of muriniho bringing John terry to old Trafford would be fantastic and I don't know if I would prefer it to giggs bringing in Neville and scholes all vying to not be the Lepidus of the triumvirate that destroys fergies empire.

[eagle eye]

They need to mature a bit too. They seem quite good in the North but the Southern party is highly inexperienced. Maybe two more election spins and they'll be good. Mary Lou taking over will be good for them too.

They need to get rid of Gerry Adams. He has the stench of the IRA and murder and he is preventing them from growing into a major party.

And the is the opportunity for a major party in this country right now. I don't think many people particularly like FG and FF don't look like they'll ever recover.

I wouldn't say punishing ff as a party is a correct choice. Deciding not to put them in because they have the same shithouses with a few young ones who look comparably better on posters than their rivals with zero actual policies changes from what they did before or what is currently working well makes sense.

Don't punish revenge not vote for ff but do avoid voting for them because of the people I the party.

I think the greens wil pick up a few votes this time and come close to the same numbers as labour who will be decimated.

Fg solo would be the best outcome and i still think has a much bigger shit than people think. Country is stable so the numbers who will vote against fg which is what you do by going for an independent, sf or ff will be lower than expected imo. AAApbp etc are outliers who will vote for anarchy - ironically the lack of govt

I think fg hover up a lot of anger independent, labour and aa votes from people back to work really who are seeing an upturn in business. People vote with their wallets not high ideals.

Sinn fein will do very well out of not getting into power this time round. Whoever gets in this time is going to be in place and get the blame when the global economy goes tits up because they have run out of road to kick the can down.

Biggest problem I have with FG is how they wasted a good crisis.

[dobby]

Watched The Visit tonight. I enjoyed it. Had a couple of scary moments and the young lad is funny. They got the one part that's supposed to make you jump wrong imo. It was too predictable and kinda took away from the scary side. Probably the best horror I've seen in the last few years though.

People don't understand economics though. Its very fcking complex. I think Noonan does though due to the people he surrounds himself with. Although maybe we could do a kindergarten thing and give everyone an A because there shouldn't be any losers.

I get that, personally I would like to see the next candidate that says fiscal space shot in the head . I just think if you suggest to people they would be stupid not to do something they get very suspicious. A much better way would be to say " intelligent people will be able to see.." Then you think they must be talking about me.

They need to mature a bit too. They seem quite good in the North but the Southern party is highly inexperienced. Maybe two more election spins and they'll be good. Mary Lou taking over will be good for them too.

She has been at his side that long that I think Doherty / Tobin would be a great move for them
