Both Tories and Labour have lied to us with false promises - they have failed us. Never trust them ever again

@neilstitfer @tomfgoodwin The only advantage awarded was that concacaf was granted two places in the intercontinental play offs (rather than one) but both Jamaica and Suriname lost

[Matt @mattrosc]

@neilstitfer @tomfgoodwin Wrong! Concacaf would have had 6 automatic spots in total (including the 3 of those 6 that went to the hosts) irrespective of whether or not the continent was hosting.

The majority in Birmingham wanted Reform and ended up with the lowest voted going

Voting system in UK at it's corrupt finest #birmingham #voting

@RestoreBritain Would have been the answer but wasn't quite ready

[Matt @mattrosc]

@cw_131007 It will be at least 50% nations league sides in the play offs, possibly up to 75% vs normally 25% or less. So I think it is fair to award pot 1 ie definitely group runners up, a home final

[Matt @mattrosc]

@fmeetsdata No, they have changed the rules for this tournament, not necessarily forever. It will be at least 50% nations league sides in the play offs, possibly up to 75% vs normally 25% or less. So I think it is fair to award pot 1 ie definitely group runners up, a home final

@afc_richard Didn’t you watch any Spl in the last month? As for corruption, you clearly weren’t born when Arsenal invented cheating in football before
WW2

[Matt @mattrosc]

@afc_richard @The_Forty_Four What he’s saying is what it costs for a glory seeking idiot who has never committed to Arsenal. To be fair he’s a dickhead either way, but even the genuine Arsenal fans hate him for his entitled attitude as a glory hunter

[Matt @mattrosc]

@meirionj You had 14 years, so it won’t happen under the Tories. Two cheeks of the same arse while the likes of @AndrewmitchMP remain

[Matt @mattrosc]

@TLG861 @afc_richard @ArtetaEra Though of course should also mean Bournemouth into CL, Brighton move up to Europa and Brentford get that Conference league place! Makes planning some weekends for Bournemouth quite tricky as would need to avoid all the rest of teams in Europe plus Brentford

[Matt @mattrosc]

@TLG861 @afc_richard @ArtetaEra They should build it in just in case eg West Ham’s Championship fixtures have a similar home & away pattern to City’s PL ones (and make sure both face midlands sides at Xmas, when the furthest City or West Ham would expect to travel is the midlands’ ie no London vs North clashes)

[Lance Forman @LanceForman]

I have just come off the phone to @RupertLowe10

When I messaged him he thought I was referring to Scott Benton not Steve Laws as Scott had been in the news, so he confirmed that he had an administrative function

He has now confirmed to me by phone that it was an error and in fact Steve Laws has no administrative function whatsoever. Good!

He also said that he found Steve Laws’ comments about Jews on @AndrewGold_ok show grossly offensive. I agree naturally.

We share a common view on the Islamist threat facing the UK and Europe.

@sofistaserfista @DaleJohnsonBBC 4 sides play a preliminary round as last season - the 2 sides promoted from national league and 21st & 22nd in league two. Last season it was regionalised so the round 1 draw could allow for this though trickier this season as it would be Tranmere, Crawley, York and Rochdale.

[Matt @mattrosc]

@DaleJohnsonBBC Sounds reasonable assuming they keep the nations league group winners route. If so would make sense to initially allocate the four nations league spaces to the three group winners in league A and the eventual winners of the league A
final four tournament

[Matt @mattrosc]

@DaleJohnsonBBC This isn’t quite right- the extract you have used is how fixtures are decided for the initial nations league groups of 6. In the groups of 12 for
Qualifying, England would face two different pot 1 sides out of the 3 other pot 1 sides

[Matt @mattrosc]

@CelticWarrior_3 @NFLUKIRE Yes - the NFL will play at wealdstone’s ground instead

Elected as a Tory councillor in Birmingham last week…

[Cllr Meirion Jenkins @meirionj]

It's not at all surprising when you consider that we have had left wing govt since 1997.

[Matt @mattrosc]

A danger to herself and clearly this attitude means she is a danger to others.

[Laurence Fox @LozzaFox]

What a wonderful idea for a social experiment!

Very happy to pay for your plane ticket.

Do let us know how you get along.

[Matt @mattrosc]

@Kingbingo_ Do you mean smart? Is it ever smart / intelligent / clever to be a commie? Plotting/devious & evil perhaps. But agree on nice but stupid.

[Matt @mattrosc]

@LozzaFox Irony from Johnson- the arrogant lieing buffoon fool who doesn’t even know how many kids he has fathered. But as ever with BJ he’s in the top 1%

[Matt @mattrosc]

@kevindfc1 @DaleJohnsonBBC I’d say three given that is what happens from
League 2 to League 1. But 2 would be progress!
