Part of me thinks it'd be funny if we got promoted, refused to offer him a new contract, and he couldn't find a Premiership club willing to sign him. (But really, I hope he's playing in the Prem for us next season)

What's wrong with you all? The correct answer is obviously Spaced!

@beorthelm The data came from Tory peer Michael Ashcroft's private polling. You can find it in full here: http://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/06/how-the-united-kingdom-voted-and-why/

This has nothing to do with the referendum. 63% of Labour voters voted Remain, which is massive for a party which has always had a Eurosceptic tendency in its ranks (for comparison, 64% of SNP voters voted remain, but nobody's calling for Sturgeon's head). It can't be about the referendum, the...

I read recently that this is actually a myth, because although the longest day is next week, the mornings get darker before the evenings do (so the total daylight hours are less, but the effect is when most of us are still asleep). I can't find it anywhere now though, so I'd be grateful if...

Kinda bizarre that next season there will be two managers in the English second tier who've won the Champions League.

She's lovely, but there are an absurd number of gorgeous girls in the Czech Republic, I see more surprising pairings here in Prague every day. :)

This. It's not just here, I've seen Wednesday fans bleating everywhere about how they deserve this because they've been through tough times. I'm not sure whether they're saying it to rub salt into the wounds, or if they really are that myopic.

Maldini Apparently no team has ever come back from 2-0 in the first leg of the Championship play-offs.

Dirty cheating *******s.

Except, he did say during the leadership election that he favoured staying in. (emphasis mine) Source dated 28 July 2015. I think part of the problem here is that rather than listening to what Corbyn actually says, people are listening to what the right-wing media claims he says.

So when rich politicians do things like this it's ok, but poor people objecting to those same politicians hiding money abroad -- while slashing services that people depend on to survive -- is class war? I think you've got this arse about face. If there's a class war happening, it's being waged...

pastafarian Strange how that article completely overlooks the fact that it was the UK's Tory government who torpedoed plans to raise EU tariffs on Chinese steel. Meanwhile - and, to borrow a line from that paper you quoted, you couldn't make it up - the Chinese have started imposing tariffs...

Given that the use of slave labour and child labour is rife in China (with a conservative estimate putting the figure of 3m people working in slavery in the country), perhaps you could elaborate a little on precised what it is you want for the people of Britain?

Feel free to disagree with this, but it seems you're implying "the government would like to sort this out, and would do so if it wasn't for the pesky EU tying our hands". But that overlooks a key fact -- the EU wanted to impose higher import fees on Chinese steel, but the Tory government stopped...

The Brutal Assault metal festival here in the Czech Republic always seems to have a line-up that's, well, brutal. http://brutalassault.cz/en/

Looks like some people are forcing English pronunciation onto his name, which I know is no big deal really -- but if anyone is up for a challenge, his name's pronounced (roughly) as "yir-zhi ska-lark" (J is pronounced like the English Y in Czech, the little "v" above the "r" in "Jiří" changes it...

My Slavia-supporting friends here in Prague are a bit miffed, because they'd heard Slavia were in for him, and were really excited by the prospect -- even though he started his career at arch-rivals Sparta. I see that as a good sign.

This isn't even the worst scandal to come from Ashcroft's book, it's just the juciest. And most succulent.
