Saturdays just aren’t the same without one of these ‘smash ‘em early’ comments !

My genuine concern is that if one of the two major parties can’t get a grip and at least put a proper plan in place, then we’re on for Farage mk 2 or worse like a lot of the rest of Europe. Unsustainable is a tricky one to answer but pressure will continue on public services and housing (if I...

Good shout. Not sure why Southgate doesn’t at least have him in the mix. Wasn’t he maybe his captain for U21s as well ?

As I say though if Phillips isn’t playing, who’s the third midfielder ?

I’m not sure how you think 500k-600k net migration per annum wouldn’t impact public services, infrastructure and housing. That’s almost a couple of coventrys every year or the size of Birmingham in the last two years. It’s impossible to say what the correct amount of net migration is as it...

What a shambles. These are crazy numbers. If anyone thinks that we can keep absorbing 1.3m additional people into the country every two years, where public services are already at breaking point and housing is in short supply, they’re mad. The Tories were done anyway, even more so now. We’ve...

I was saying the rise of the far right parties across Europe is far more concerning than Brexit

It’s worrying but not surprising looking at what’s happening across European elections recently. Cost of living issues for most countries, high immigration, people feeling they’re not being listened to. They were some of the main drivers for Brexit here but those in the Euro are kinda stuck so...

I wonder if he’s planning on Bellingham, Rice and TAA as the three in the tournament if phillips isn’t playing regularly.. Bit bold as it will need TAA to sit deeper and have discipline but wouldn’t mind seeing it

I might be wrong as I’ve only looked at some of the headline announcements but didn’t think there was any change to employers contributions

Possibly but it also hopefully allows a proper window for aid to get into area, some hostages (all/mainly kids) released and maybe I’m an optimist, but it shows the two sides are talking so there could be further progress in future

There was some decent stuff in there but as you say they should’ve just increased thresholds. Increasing initial personal allowance to £15k would’ve been a headline grabber for starters. Not sure why they did the NI change instead and not heard any commentary on the reasons either ? Dont think...

It’s ultimately good news. These are kids by all accounts. It also goes to show while certain people/parties were playing to their respective crowds* that serious negotiations and discussions were going on behind the scenes to calm things down, whatever might be said in public. These aren’t...

Cooper might have a sniff as well (appreciate he’s Welsh but homegrown and been involved with England previously) Big Sams also still available

Agreed, his last tournament I reckon

Qualified and topped group by 6 points 🤷‍♂️. Tonight he gave other players a run out (right call), dreadful ref and poor performance against a team that sat 9-10 men behind the ball should’ve probably rested Maguire and given another CB a go but can’t get too excited. Too many international...

This officiating is worse than up the city and that’s saying something

Grealish been very good this half

Crazy pen decision. Shocking

It was the time when we also desperately needed an intelligent and focussed health secretary to absorb the science and be able to communicate it clearly and concisely to a PM with a minute attention span The Johnson/Hancock double act really was as bad as it could get in a health emergency
