But I don't want to donate to charities, I want my state to look after us. The whole idea of charity in a western democracy just fills me with dread. We should be looked after, we pay enough into the system, not go with a begging bowl and ask for more.

Excuse me if I'm wrong but I don't think you understand what I am getting at. I would rather pay 1p in the £ more to rid us of having to beg for charity and have it state funded than having to keep giving when the state has no interest in looking after the welfare of those afflicted by whatever...

I pay towards the Surrey/Sussex Air Ambulance, a worthy cause that is outrageously not funded by the state.

So we don't have a right to care then? It has to be charity handouts and not something the state should provide, despite it being us that pays for the state?

It is our money, we pay taxes and are still asked to shelve out our hard earnt. Are we not a forward enough thinking country to do away with having to rely on people's good will? Things like cancer shouldn't be a charity donation, it should be a right to care.

Sorry, not getting your point.

Every year I fork out a lot of money to charity, mainly animal welfare foundations. But, as a country, should we be having to pay towards charity? Or should the state be funding it? It always seems to be the working class that pay that bit extra, on top of our taxes and VAT. Is it time that we...

Absolutely done. No brainer.

Our most improved player this season is Steve Sidwell. Got a run of games and has showed how important he is to us. Beram will have problems breaking into the squad again. However, Balders, and his run of games has proved that he too, is very much an improvement on last term. But I'll stick with...

The bloke is so far up his own buttocks it's unbelievable. He thinks he is the greatest thing since creation. Having said that, I am a huge fan of any Simon and Garfunkel music. I just find him intolerable. I'm sure he likes me too.

Villa are one point behind Derby, with a hefty amount of the season to go.

Wardy and Mellor just cannot be compared. Sorry.

I can't see Huddersfield being a threat even for top six. I can't see Reading carrying this over for a whole season either. Villa and Derby are, in my opinion, the threats.

Guinness and Pinot Grigio.

It's how they keep the pigeons out of Trafalgar Square nowadays too. And I believe it keeps the seagulls out of the Amex?

We'll be our customary 15 points ahead of them soon.

Sitting in my high tower and missing the game, I did listen on radio, it seemed like Stephens mind wasn't on the job. He was pretty awful v Villa too, I was at that one. Could his head have been turned? Other than that, the NSC detractors are not logging in, which is nice.

If we're talking top table disposable income can I be one of them please. :wink: As for chants that are seen unacceptable by the majority, I couldn't care less. I will still bum Tristan later.

I wasn't there so 28,999

My mate who lives in Laoa(?) messaged me and said we'd win 2-1 after going a goal down. Genius!
