Tories will still be in chaos and Farrage's party whatever that is this week will be the only leave party with a consistent position."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

This will be resolved either by a LIN LAB SNP coalition or a Tory Farrage Coalition.
The electorate will be have to choose between no deal and a referendum.Turning millions into thousands

I was out jogging today just across from where that lad was shot today and there was a 11 or 12 year old kid dealing drugs openly along the canal. They are there at least three groups out every day between 9th lock and the big data centre and no matter what the weather there is always a steady stream of dead eyed punters queuing up to collect. Looks like a slightly spread out version of Hamsterdam.
I'm along by there 5 days a week and only once in the last decade have I seen cops in action.Turning millions into thousands

Nothing will be resolved. There is years of negotiation ahead."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Stephen Barclay, who has sometimes appeared to be one of the more clued in Tories, was complaining today that the EU weren't coming up with suggestions on how to replace the backstop

So our HR dept sends out an email to welcome a new employee . Ex Guinnesses. However instead of saying she as from the home of the black stuff he said black staff. (She is black btw) so after sending the email he goes out to the other black staff in the company to apologise. David Brent levels of cringe .

I know people have very different opinions on Keane (I personally love the man) but he is absolutely box office.
Absolutely great night.
I read the cliffs: https://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...-38468944.html
On Walters:
"He talks a good game," he said. "Imagine if he'd won a trophy. He goes on the TV about how he was harshly treated by me. He's crying on the TV about his family situation.
"Maybe he should lie low for a while. Have a look at his medals? That wouldn't take long."
"We got beaten by Wales. Jon played. Jon didn't have a good game. Wardy played, he didn't have a good game. They need to go back see how bad they were."
When it was put to Keane that Walters had scored big goals during his Irish career, he replied: "How many years ago is that? How long is he going to live off that? A certain player scored against Holland and he still is," with a clear nod to his old foe Jason McAteer.

The dog at Walters over his family was below the belt though

I think the quoted line is taken slightly out of context as it was part of a wider rant about how Walters is playing the media circuit and doing all the rounds of every media outlet, he asked the lads from Off The Ball had they had him on the show and when they said Yes, he replied, 'Of course you have' whilst rolling his eyes.
That said, it was below the belt and wasn't needed but you can't have Roy Keane without that. If you take that part out of him, he would never have been the player he was.

I could have brought SUnderland up that year.
He had an almost bottomless budget for championship level.

I don't think he is a cunt at all - He is a hugely talented, natural born winner. He has unbelievably high standards and he expects that from everyone around him.
He mentioned a few times last night about how some of the stories about him that have done the rounds are just off the wall and no factual basis (he may say this of course) although Neville also pointed out that the Keane who is portrayed in the media is not the man he played with for so many years which does back up Keane's side of it.
He's not bitter about management and the roles he's left/been sacked from. He did think himself and O'Neill should have got another campaign but accepts that when the team of high profile, very well paid managers goes through a dip, the pressure will come on and the manager will potentially lose their jobs, that's the way the industry works. He was also quite open that he made mistakes befoe in management and will most likely make them again if he gets another job - he's actually quite pragmatic in that regard.
He is bitter about how he left Utd and how it was handled by Ferguson and Gill and when you hear his side of it, you can understand why.
As for being forgotten, LOL, yeah, the greatest player ever to come out of this country will be forgotten, good luck!

Anyway, he probably is a bit of a cunt, just pure driven. I doubt i'll ever witness a man control a match like he did in the home game against Portugal to get the draw in 2001, scored a poxy goal but ran the match for 90 mins single handedly.

Well worth a listen, the whole thing must have been around 2.5 - 3 hours so hopefully they'll put it all up
Anyone and I include family, friends, Man U fanboys, anyone! who even attempts to justify or brush over those comments re. Walters and is aware of the context, is as big a prick as Keane himself.
