Swansea v Arsenal was very good. I know he wasn't commentating on that game but is anyone else tired of Ray "My word" Wilkins? He's a knowledgeable chap but his co-commentary really grates.

Strange decision. Considine has enough on his plate trying to work on his own game without taking on the responsibilities of the captaincy as well. Should have been Arnie or Milsom for me. Unless of course Arnie is definitely offski.

Just back. Utter pish. Jack had a very good game.

Why not have it in 2013?

Presume you mean Douglas Alexander?

Nicola Sturgeon is a terrible advert for the SNP. Taken to the cleaners by Paddy Ashdown and David Dimbleby tonight about the addition of the third question on the referendum. And apparently the vote is in 2014 to avoid the Commonwealth Games

That must be the only pearl necklace she's ever received.

No chance of me voting yes if they stick to the Euro plan. Fuck that.

I've been up there and took better photos than ST did.

Excellent, I'll tune in for that. Paddy will wipe the floor with them!

Note the bits on the right.

My understanding is that things like continuing with sterling and the UK armed forces can only be decided by the UK government.

He doesn't need to want it, he's first in line.

Aye right.

But we'd be at the mercy of the Bank of England wouldn't we? I just can't see how that would work.

They were seemingly chanting "Suarez" at him. If that's true then what the hell have Liverpool started.

Indeed but it was an example of the unknown costs of independence that have yet to be presented to us.

What's the latest thinking on what the currency would be for an independent Scotland? Would they stick with Sterling which would be governed by another country (doesn't sound ideal) or plump for the Euro (which would be utter madness surely) or come up with our own currency?

It's thread titles I can't edit. It doesn't save any changes I make, it never has.

Slightly different story in the P&J:

So, its been all over the news the last day or 2 and it looks like we're getting a referendum......in 2014. How would you vote? I'm undecided. I'd like to know much more about what the SNP's plans are, including the long term financial benefits. I'm also interested to know what would happen with things such as the Royal Family, the Military, Sterling/Euro, Foreign Embassies (e.g. have to fund an embassy in every country?) etc... and obviously the clincher which is what happens to the North Sea Oil money.
