I agree it's pretty unlikely that it happens like that. But I'm assuming the opinion polls DO include Muslim voters. In addition, there WILL be tactical voting, which doesn't easily get factored into opinion polls. There was an interesting article by Peter Kellner, quoted in the FT at the...

Where is Karou?

The problem for EFC regarding administration (apart from the points deduction) is that someone else comes in to run the business. That person will need to do everything they can to stop EFC becoming insolvent - including obviously selling assets (eg: players). The "club" as we know it will have...

It is beginning to look like Palace will be annoyingly decent next season.

Well, we’ve still got to play Man U

Fascinating - a pretty complex situation with two potential penalties, a red card, and a marginal offside, all in the space of a few seconds.....made me glad that I'm not a ref!

I had a bit of a sleepless night after looking at that! It's almost impossible to imagine a worse London Mayor than Susan Hall - and what a huge boost it would be to the Tory right wing head-bangers if she won. Plus all the Islamaphobic rhetoric would be ramped up to the next level. I love...

Worth digitising it and maybe putting a link on NSC?

If they hadn’t cheated FFP they would almost certainly have been relegated last season.

Will be driving down from Somerset….want to show the team and RDZ some love. Also - no pressure, can relax and enjoy the footie (and see a bit of the youngsters). It can’t be amazing EVERY week!

Nervous just watching that YouTube clip again…

I’m a Parish Councillor - although in our village there are seldom enough candidates to actually require an election!
