    The general consensus at the time was that May was being opportunistic in calling the election due to the polls, and indeed it was a chance to give herself a clear majority/mandate to proceed with Brexit on her terms i.e. ''No deal is better than a bad deal''. There was also the bonus that with a clear majority they would likely serve the full 5 years unopposed, thus buying themselves an extra 2 years post-Brexit. I'm not sure why the 'divorce bill' would be the 'real reason' to call the GE. May said many times about there not being a need for a GE, and the 'divorce bill' was well known when she said this...
  3. Judging by her last but one post, Natty seems keen to meet people, just not the counselling kind. Has anyone on here tried to arrange to meet her?...

    I can't read all of that pay-for article, so all I can gather from it is that the UK has to pay the 'divorce bill' before meaningful talks can commence, but hasn't that been the EU's position all along since the Ref? Why would that be the real reason there was a GE?...
  5. July is the traditional season for them, but I'm sure you can get tinned/frozen ones all year round in most big supermarkets...

  7. Even before this he was probably the nicest man in football. I'd quite like to see some of the money currently sloshing around the PL filtering down more to the lower leagues and grassroots football in general. Perhaps a similar levy on TV deals, transfers etc...
  8. That might tie-in as to why why Surrey play cricket at the Oval?...
  9. Yep, WHL and UP were both very tight, intimidating grounds, even if they shrunk the pitch to suit they won't have that claustrophobic atmosphere. Ironically when WH played Spurs at the OS it was a cracking atmosphere...
  10. They never shrunk the pitch for Spurs' CL games last season, so perhaps they're not allowed to. Arsenal had a similar problem, don't recall them shrinking the pitch to suit Highbury. They can easily train on Wembley sized pitches, so that will help...
  11. England will be playing on it too, would they want to play on such a small pitch? Can't see them upping the goalposts, filling in holes etc every time England play...

Yep, still 4 weeks left of the transfer window so could all change. Felt Chelsea not playing in Europe was a big advantage last season, they hardly picked up any injuries. They haven't strengthened their squad, arguably weaker as new signings to replace Costa and Matic not proven in PL. Surprised they sold Matic to us, think he will be a great signing. I would've put Arsenal 4th were it not for the Europa League. Spurs have the best first eleven, but also have a light squad, plus the Wembley factor, read somewhere that the pitch is 6m longer and 5m wider than WHL, will make a big difference to their pressing game. Pundits talking about Everton challenging for top 6, but I reckon WHU have a better chance. Have bought very well, post-Boleyn hangover should've cleared too...

    I posed that hypothetical question last week...What if no plan is the Hard Brexiteers' plan? This article highlights how difficult it's going to be to get any form of Brexit through a Commons vote. Which could mean that No Deal or a 2nd Referendum are the only viable options left... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/aug/03/second-brexit-referendum-case-getting-stronger-political-deadlock-life-raft
