I am a bit niaive about political machinations, but could this whole vote-of-no-confidence thing have been orchestrated to get to 48 votes right at this time, to actually solidify her position. Her advisers may have realised that the party can't vote for a leadership challenge with so little time before March 29 - also knowing she then can't be challenged for 12 months.

Bit risky with this bunch of snakes, although the ERG did 'threaten' to release the names of the MPs who'd submitted the letters so there might be something to this.

"Running scared".

I do like this site. Lays it all out nicely.

The only even vaguely impressive result was the 0-0 away to Chelsea. Aside from that, they've won against some dross at home. That's pretty much it. There's three positional bands here- 1-6; 7-13; 14-20. They'll oscillate between 7th and 13th for the rest of the season. They're irrelevant. Yet again. And I can't help thinking that Silva is a fraud.

What was May's thought process through this whole thing? It's been blatantly obvious for some time now that this would never get through parliament. Did she just expect people to change their minds? It's beyond my comprehension just how badly this has been managed!

Thank fuck we got a strong and stable government last year to see us through these difficult times.

Sterling's goal against City a few years back was sort of similar, at least in how he completely fooled the defender and 'keeper-

From about 1:45-

Difficult pick, we do seem to currently have a lot of very likeable players. From the down to earth nature of Robertson and Milner, the fun and joie de vivre of Mane, Shaqiri, Alexander-Arnold and Firmino, Alisson and van Dijk's imperiousness, and the placid but steely calmness of Salah and Gomez. All topped off with Klopp's infectious boisterousness. Great bunch of lads. Having to choose 3, I'd go for-

1. Salah

2. van Dijk

3. Alisson

- based on their game-changing ability. For personality, I'd go for-

1. Firmino

2. Mane

3. van Dijk

That really reminded me of a goal Barosonce scored for us. I’ve a feeling it was against Newcastle or West Brom - I’m seeing stripy shirts in my minds eye.

 

anyone able to recall?

Was it this one against Monaco? Apologies for the commentary...

Souness calling out that player who raked Mo's achilles

I love that after that, Mo skinned him twice to complete his hat trick and Cock scored an own goal. Instant karma.

While a permanent switch to Everton remains an option, it is believed that the player is looking to test himself more with a move to one of the Premier League’s top six clubs.

Oh my God.

Was that from the We Want Plates Blog? Plenty more utter abortions there, not just breakfasts-

Grieve's amendment's gone through as well- if May's deal gets voted down, the power of the House to decide on what kind of Brexit is increased. A hard Brexit or a no deal Brexit is now effectively dead in the water. Probably to May's relief.

^ Sorry, skend, posted at the same time as you did.

Good to see Parliament taking back control- government found in contempt and forced to publish its Brexit legal advice, losing the motion by 311-293.

Its worth it for the fume tsunami that will come for him not being sidelined.

We could magnify that ten-fold by setting up a crowd funding page...

They are comparing Klopps reaction to that of their wives when the goal was scored.

Ahh, Klopp was a lot slower and didn't bounce off as many walls.

It's bizarre. They're a few points better off than teams like Watford or Bournemouth, mainly because they've beaten some dross at home recently. They're closer to the bottom of the league than the top, and 14 points behind us just over a third into the season. They played well for about a 15 minute spell during the first half on Sunday, and were quite tight in the second.

And yet- completely ignoring the context of the goal- Klopp running on the pitch and the team celebrating the win means we're 'running scared'. Of what, exactly?

Mine weren't even born, and the eldest is off to Uni next year. 

I like the first reply-

Great comment on GOT just after the goal-

Mrs Mangel?

Old style gentleman, they don't make 'em like that any more.

Good shout. Reading about Fish as an 8 year old scarred me for life.

 

Yeah, I guess his only redeeming feature was that he doesn't appear to have added beans to his meals.

Albert Fish- the pervert's pervert, a paedophile cannibal who killed and ate at least 3 and possibly dozens of kids in Depression-era USA.

He was a bit of a cause celebre at school in the '80s when I got a book of weird deaths as a stocking filler and he was listed in it- they had trouble executing him due to all the metal needles he'd inserted in his perineum and scrotum causing the electric chair to short circuit, although it seems that was an urban myth (the short circuit, he definitely had a groin full of metal).

The confession letters on [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fish]Wikipedia[/url] are still shocking, the Billy Gaffney one is particularly hard to read (my own son was the same age as Gaffney when I first read it, and it utterly horrified me). He's fascinating as a horrible, inhuman brute of a man with no redeeming features whatsoever, about as far as you can get from the charming, intelligent Bundy/ Lecter stereotype.

To be fair, there's not many that could link up play between Lovren and van Dijk as well as he does.
