If that's your best team it's no wonder you think so highly of Coleman. They all play at a good level, but they're basically all EPL journeymen except Coleman (Keane was obviously world class, but is he still?). Naismith and Snodgrass and Robertson would walk into that team.

Ivanovic is probably the best right back in the EPL. Coleman is probably on the same level as Hutton.

This. Bryson is being kept out the team by Naismith IMO.

Mulgrew's positioning as a left-back isn't good enough. And Thomas Mueller is very good at exploiting that kind of thing. From the little I've seen of Forsyth, he's a solid full-back with no weaknesses in his game. I would definitely pick Forsyth before Mulgrew (although I would pick Mulgrew before I picked Whittaker)

No, I was trying to make the point that, even if Farage's statistic was somehow true, the situation in England can't be any better, and might even be worse.

That's a bizarre one alright. Even though he said "benefits of some kind", it's still BS. According to the biased BBC "The number of people in jobs in Scotland now stands at 2,575,000." So, a fraction under half of the population has a job. Even if he meant to say "just over 50%", it's still not true even if you count pensioners, students, and children whose parents are claiming £13 per week child benefit. But what he would really need to explain is the fact that a higher percentage of people in Scotland have jobs than anywhere else in the UK.

The questions are Marshall or McGregor? Whittaker or Forsyth? Do you try and fit McArthur in? Naismith up front or behind the striker or on the right? I would definitely go with McGregor and Forsyth. I think I would be tempted to play McArthur behind Fletcher and Mulgrew. ---------------- McGregor Hutton -- Martin -- Hanley -- Forsyth -----------------McArthur --------- D. Fletcher Mulgrew Naismith ---- --------- ----------- Anya ---------------- S. Fletcher

FWIW Here's someone's ticket from an ebay ad The bit at the bottom is the "train ticket" part. It says: Kombiticket Free travel to and from the stadium with VRR public transport (2nd class) in the VRR area Here's a map of the VRR area There's an explanation of what a kombiticket is here Die KombiTickets berechtigen zur Fahrt mit allen Bussen, Straßenbahnen, Stadtbahnen, S-Bahnen, der Wuppertaler Schwebebahn sowie den zuschlagfreien Zügen der Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen für den jeweiligen Geltungsbereich. So all buses, trams, S-bahns, and RE and RB trains The ticket is valid for the whole day of the event up to the end of the "working day". "bis zum Betriebsschluss" Als Betriebsschluss gilt grundsätzlich 3 Uhr des Folgetages. And apparently that means 3am.
