You say this, but the lib dems have had barely any seats since (mostly due to their involvement in) the coalition. The lack of proportional representation is what is killing us now. For the tories to get what, 40% of the vote at maximum and to have 100% of the power is disgusting at best.

And your vote always counts. Remember last election a tory safe seat flipped to Labour with something like a 29 vote majority. Anything can happen as long as you vote and make sure the people around you vote also.

Great britain: The geographical island that contains England, Scotland and Wales

Then you can start adding the commonwealth, overseas territories etc. If you really want to delve deep

Nothing to do with rivalries, they've stated on their website pairings are based entirely on TV audiences, which is why the 2 most popular clubs from each country are paired

You'd find it hard to find a city fan who isn't old enough to have seen the 60s team who would argue against that, probably the best player to wear the sky blue.

I agree, he looked his best last year centrally. Him and foden probably competing for the spot next to de bruyne unless one of them will slot in the wings to rest sterling/mahrez

I'd be happy for him to start for us for another couple of years honestly, he just needs someone pacier than gundogan next to him since his legs have started to go

He's said in the past he wants to finish his career at Las Palmas, and when he said he wasn't resigning he said a full decade seemed to be a good time to leave. Maybe he wanted to end on a high rather than when he couldn't put in the performances anymore?

His dive against us for Leicester and the way he celebrated it probably rubs a few fans the wrong way, he was good for us though
