From Monday
But I've backed Spurs to win (@ 14/5 with bet365) and I've also backed City to score 4 or more goals @ 7/1 with William Hill
Sign up that linesman he's done well down that side
In danger of negative goal diff again and if Dzeko had been on form, it would have been a horrible score.
Straight red card for last man (non violent) = one game
Straight red is only 3 games for violent conduct.
Congratulations, Mr. Eagles, but I'm sure you only post tips when I'm not on.
If people are going to pose a question like that in a broadsheet then - how many SNP voters are going to die shooting up heroin with pox-covered needles huddled caked in their own shit in Glasgow slums before an independence vote?
Either both stereotypes are acceptable in the Telegraph or neither.
Any thoughts on the Six Nations?
Ok next up - YouGov will Labour at +7
Is it acceptable to create a false stereotype of the right when the equivalent false stereotype of the left wouldn't be tolerated?
I'll be without electricity a bit tomorrow and Friday, but I should be able to get on and comment.
Still surprised Wales were/are out at 5.5 for the Triple Crown.

It's no surprise they don't dive in with an opinion given what's happened to people in Denmark, Holland etc. At the end of the day they are just people doing their jobs, with families to go home to - the last thing they need is a death threat from a religious group that has killed before.
However, I do wish the 'establishment' had been stronger that day the Muslim extremists marched down Sloane St to the Danish embassy waving placards saying 'Death to all those who insult Islam' etc whilst chanting things like 'We will have your wives as war bounty'. We ceded ground to fundamentalism that day. Hence my admiration for the author of Jesus and Mo, who is making a small stand in the pursuit of freedom of expression.
YouGov/Sun poll tonight - Labour lead remains three points: CON 35%, LAB 38%, LD 10%, UKIP 11%
You know the ones, four times, twice that, half of this. As a Kipper I am really interested in seeing them.
The Lib Dems will be relieved to be in double figures.
Perhaps a slightly miffing poll for the kippers ?

Oh hang on, it's coal mining. I demand all coal mining must stop immediately.

Nice tip for Dappy.

Everyone hit the roads at the same time. The interstates became parking lots. Then it began to freeze as the temperature plummeted.
Interstate exits are typically uphill, though a few are downhill. They became ice sheets. So the traffic couldn't get off the interstates.The regular roads backed up because traffic couldn't get on the interstates. Because the roads were clogged the few gritting trucks available couldn't do their job.
One of my neighbors arrived home at 11am today, having left work at 1pm yesterday. He had stayed the night in a Publix supermarket. Hundreds of people spent the night in gas stations, supermarkets, 24 hour stores like Walmart and Target, fire stations etc.
Some parts of the interstates are still gridlocked. The state has partnered with a wrecking company to move thousands of abandoned cars to the median or beside the roads. National Guard and state police are distributing gas to cars that ran out.
Over 3000 kids spent the night at their schools, because the school buses couldn't get through.
Schools and government offices are closed today and tomorrow.
I went out briefly today. It's a mess.
Roads will freeze again tonight and tomorrow morning will be a zoo.
All this on 2 inches of snow.
To be fair, snow events are comparatively rare here, so it doesn't make sense to spend the sort of money that cities in the northeast do on snow moving equipment.
On the funny side, local news scrolls all the school closures along the bottom of the screen, and you saw names like "Everlasting Life - closed tomorrow" and my favorite "Eternal Word - closed". Gives a new meaning to eternal and everlasting.
Every single person in the UK would be better off under this system.
Someone earning - say - £4m a year would be £1m better off.
Now, I may be missing something, but why wouldn't we want a system where every single person in the country paid less tax?
1. Taxes are on income, not wealth. If UKIP is proposing a wealth tax (which actually makes a lot of economic sense, although it would be political suicide), then they should say so.
2. The top 1% of earners pay a third of all income tax. If this is "very little", then it is clearly some new meaning of the word "very" or the word "little" that I was previously unaware of.
Week 1 - 6.8
Week 2 - 5.4
Week 3 - 6.0
This week - 2.67 (average of 3 polls, 2 more polls to come)
So a discernible move. Whether random variation could give 3 polls in a row this low without the true position having changed, I don't know.
But, combined with the ComRes, there has to be a significant chance that the true lead has narrowed.
One Member, One Vote? Trade Unions could end up with EVEN MORE power over Labour leadership according to #Newsnight.
LOL
I did a stint in the public-private hinterland sector once, everyone was so obsessed with their bloody BUDGET it had to be seen to be believed.
Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone wants to extend his controversial double-points scheme to the last three races of the season.
Idiot.

ETA: Ah, seen the frontpage proper now - apparently a bad idea.
School holidays do need shaking up though.
No tax on min wage
25% up to £100k
40% above that
