Do you think his surgery has hampered him ?

True, not many have come out in the + credit so far, only Stokes & Bell really.

Still hanging in there !

Well, unlike our esteemed Chancellor he actually has an degree in Economics, not sure about Maths, Physics or Bionics.

According to Bill keegan in The Observer today '...if there is one person other than Gordon Brown for keeping the UK out of the structurally faulty eurozone it is Ed Balls' !

True, but they also were against Orient

What's really really depressing is you could probably go back 12 months and there'd be similar posts !

Haven't heard of that one Bucks, when was it ?

Come on Colchester

Yaaay, City player about 1 minute behind !

oops, Smith/Haddin taking game away. Most bowlers going for 4 an over. Blowers is intrigued by above pitch camera and pompous seagulls.

Great photo's are you NTTDS in disguise ?! Can you still see the lovely church/cathedral from the ground ?

As you've obviously read the book can you point me directly to the page the quote appears on.

I think it's more that the negative posts aren't based on facts. Seeing as you obviously have a full knowledge of the 60's -80's in SA can you confirm if the 'terrorist leanings' that Mandela had resulted in any deaths ? I appreciate he was a founding member of the NK but have yet to uncover whether he was personally responsible which is what the Dez's of this thread have mentioned, although I see Dez has now slightly softened his stance towards NM.

Where was Mandela when these actions occurred ?

Good performance, should have won more comfortably though ! Sam had a couple of great chances before he scored and Greg should have done better, thought everyone did well but JET was superb & deserved MoM, apart from goal the left foot pass across pitch 2nd half was quality.

to be fair that was Gabriel Clarke

Baldock scores one on one shock

How anyone can criticise us for that 1st half is beyond me !

Not a bad one though & he'll get more space 2nd half

Seems to have developed into a match day thread although wasn't intention, how exciting, my first one !

Don't forget we've got Tremlett for a bit of bounce, could be lethal at the WACA

How good does that look while scrolling down ITV schedules. Exposure on national TV with Adrian Chiles plus the big guns Mad Dog Allen & Clarke Carlisle COYR !

Aren't the Aussies older than us ?

You ca't say he was just a politician though, OK he was President for three years but was 76 at the time of the election having spent most of the previous 30 years behind bars. Was not a politician, certainly in the coventional sense, before that in fact I think he was a lawyer.
