Once Scotland's number 2 got booked for fouling Grealish the priority should have been for G to receive the ball on the edge of their box and run at him.

I think Southgate calculated that a high intensity game was too unpredictable. He feared a bad injury, sending off or soft penalty against. You could say he bottled it. You could say he took the low road to getting out of the group unscathed.

No intensity or real attempt to win the game. Too cautious and timid. Southgate was happy to take a point and instilled a negative mindset in his players. He wants to progress by low risk approaches to games.

Tory women only get to the top by not challenging patriarchal attitudes. The 2 PMs + Patel believed that the system is meritocratic so do nothing to help other women. If any of them behaved like BoJo they wouldn't have even got a candidacy for MP. Can you imagine Thatcher or May - sacked for...

Heard an interview with someone who had worked with Johnson before he was even London mayor. This person said Johnson hates making decisions and his modus operandi is to wait as long as possible until his options are reduced to 2 or 3 then he jumps. He is also hard to read as colleagues believe...

This will negate the 'child born out of wedlock' slur forever won't it? Age of consent is 16 so if a girl legally has sex, aged 16/17, and conceives, she cannot marry until 18. Thus rendering the child 'illegitimate'. Have they thought this through or does none of it matter any more?

Age related voting in action. Club's finest years (with teams which rarely feared relegation) were 60s and 70s but most fans think it was 80s and 90s. Although our 87 cup win was the greatest attainment it was an aberration, after 3 close escapes from relegation, in a period of slow but...

Carr, Mortimer, Yorath, Hutch. All class above. Others are sentimental picks IMO

The BBC news announce those stats literally every day.

It ruins your sheets but well worth it.

Shedule, until Generation X started watching Friends on a loop. Other examples Autopsy when they mean post mortem. Cookie when they mean biscuit. C section when they mean Caesarean.

It's the same with 'skyrocketed'. Didn't 'rocketed' suffice? How does adding Sky improve the meaning? Another stupid Americanism, no doubt. Don't get me started on normalcy creeping in instead of normality and schedule being pronounced the American 'skedule' instead of British 'shedule'

I'm feeling giddy on this just levelled playing field, dazzled by the aura of the recently extinguished light at the end of the tunnel, teetering on the end of this bridge.

I was at this match too. I was a newlywed as I'd been married at Easter. A great day and never in doubt. I remember trying to get news of that away game at Stoke too. Not easy in those days living in Brum. Had to rely on Radio 2 updates as 5live didnt exist.

Tbf I wouldn't want a drink with either but if I had to choose it would be Starmer as his dad was a toolmaker and so was mine. What the hell would I talk about with Johnson? Born in New York, brought up first in Brussells then Eton. Nothing in common at all.

Unfortunately (or not) only about 6 million of UK workers are members of unions so I dont really think they can honestly say they speak for "working people" any more. KS should call his bluff. Who else would Unite fund? A breakaway party? Let it roll.

Which Labour policies does he have a problem with? I haven't seen any that were not in Corbyn's manifesto.

What sort of person would not have voted Tory last week but will (given the chance) next week?
