Tories good for the Albion

[Giraffe]

1979 - Maggie comes in heralding our one and only spell in the top flight
1983 - Maggie wins again, FA Cup Final
1987 - Maggie wins YET again - promotion again (well 87/88)
1990 - John Major gets in and a year later we're at Wembley again just missing out on promotion
1997 - Labour in, no home for 13 bloody torturous years

2010 - Tories back and we finally have Falmer next year and who knows, top flight again soon?

Very easy to massage statistics

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Falmer would have never been approved under the Tories.

 

[Easy 10]

Torres would be bloody BRILLIANT for the Albion.

 

[backson]

I don't think Detorri would be good for the Albion at all, he's too short

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

That was a good one TLO.

Yes and I thought I did it quite well, considering the poor evidence!!

Fair play!! We're f***ed then, because it's going to be a long long time before labour are back in

Is the correct answer.

Much like your favoured leader then...

 

[Gwylan]

Nice work TLO. And remember, we only win World Cups under Labour too.

England lost them an election in 1970 didn't they ?

 

[Gwylan]

England lost them an election in 1970 didn't they ?

According to Harold Wilson, yes.

Now that we have another coalition, involving the Liberals, surely we are set for five years of unprecented success.

Not quite the same party.

 

[Gully]

Not quite the same party.

Maybe not, but then it could easily be argued that the Tory and Labour parties aren't what they were when many of the successes listed above were achieved.
