    New year, same familiar trend….

    Two-thirds of Britons now support future referendum on rejoining the EU as leave voters become disillusioned with the “taking back of control they were promised.

    the comments of County fans in threads I’ve seen are pretty arrogant,they seem to believe they’re up there with the big boys and this is sustainable.

    Didn’t we once think that way?

    Here’s an observation.

    Perhaps it reflects the percentage of population who have views on current affairs.

    In my experience the percentage of those who are ambivalent to politics, the environment, human rights etc is higher than those who take an active interest.

    Which is why I still value the contributions of Bucks and BPG even if I oppose their views.

    I’ve been saying for a number of years that EFL L2 + NL (should) = EFL L2(N) + L2(S).

    Doubt if it will ever happen though.

    It’s a JOKE FFS!

    A piece of satire aimed at Mr Sunak showing how out of touch he is with reality.

    The only unfunny thing about it is he’s the Prime Minister!

    We all knew that Bojo lived in a parallel universe but perhaps naively expected better from Sunak.

    The only conclusion is that the whole Tory Party are living in cloud cuckoo land!

    Brain training – often, they have very little to do in a game. Concentration levels and decision making are paramount.

    England’s No 1 wouldn’t score too highly in an IQ test!

    They also tend to go on longer.

    Signing a 35 year old keeper should not have fans moaning about has-beens topping up their pension pot.

    In that case we could do with a rallying cry from some famous old faces.

    Botham? Keegan?

    Even a couple of recent high profile players like Sharp and Toney showing support for the consortium might help.

    Anything is worth a go.

    Those who were wetting their pants eulogising about that game a couple of weeks back obviously never saw Pele, Jairzinho, Carlos Alberto et al in their pomp.

    Crowds have held up reasonably well so how on earth do we lose 90k a month if we were meant to be sustainable going into this year.

    Who said we were sustainable?

    Oh yes, just remembered!

    I did vote leave

    Is that because you thought it meant leave things as they are/were?

    I know someone who genuinely thought that was the case!

    “What it does means, however, is that you have no clue how much money the public sector really is sucking out of the treasury.”

    Ooh err missus! It’s the old “I know it all and you know nothing” defence.

    Dunno about the NHS but the teachers pension scheme opted out of SERPS years ago. So our State Pension is lower than that of employees who have been on PAYE for 35+ years.

    So, anyway. Answer the question. Did you once apply for a public sector job and not get it?

    Only reason I can think of for your hostility.
