    UEFA EURO 2024

    Not at all, certain player needs to play better. Gifted players like foden giving the ball away cheaply is nothing to do with Southgate I’d like him to make changes quicker. It’s a massive problem of his. Dictate/direct the game, make the opposition think aboht things, Eze should’ve been on as...

    I like the optimism mate and he did, however, then again he did pick up a growing economy, obesity rates half of current levels and wasnt dealing with post pandemic health repercussions which we’ll probably have for many years to come That’s not to say there can’t be massive...

    It’s not really the government BSB. There was a surge when truss was in but that settled after Sunak/Hunt came in, then rates crept back up again due to inflation hanging around. BoE have kept rates higher because of this. I personally would’ve started cutting by now but they don’t want to risk...

    He’s got a point though Fernando. Its not as if SNP or Welsh Labour are delivering a top quality health service either. Every country has demographic and health challenges especially post pandemic. I’ve said it before and after I’ll continue to say it, there are cultural issues in and around...

    This is the weird and wonderful world we live in. Years of push back on nuclear and then oil and gas licences but then we (Europe) become overly reliant on a dictator and import a load of LNG from US which is something like x4 carbon emissions. Not to mention Germany keeping open/reopening dirty...

    Shouldn’t it have been retaken as keeper was off his line to save pen anyway ?

    This is still a great country. From london, to cornwall/Devon to the lakes. As a nation we spend a lot of time talking it down because of frustration with politics, weather etc and take so much for granted, but we’re lucky to have been born here

    Spending money abroad

    Previously used revolut but hsbc now do a global money card for customers (not sure if other banks do this). Decent spot rates, no charges and looser free withdrawal limits ps worth nothing that a lot of ATM/cash machines charge for withdrawals in US - this is in addition to any charges from...

    Sacked their manager who’s taken them to their first major final in 50+ years and lost on pens ?!

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Hardly, Italy were unbeaten in 32 or 33 games at the time and won all bar five I think. Yeah, it included a load of gimmes but mentally they didn’t know how to be beaten. It will always be frustrating as I thought we could’ve beaten them, even on pens but failure and humiliation ?! No chance

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Been an absolute shitshow from start to finish, appalling cost control, initially driven by wanting it to be so fast which was totally unnecessary, to starting south to north as has been mentioned by many previously, to letting nimby and environmentalists add 100s millions/billions onto the...

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Come on evo. ‘Failed’ is a strong word. To get to a World Cup semi and losing a Euro final on pens is hardly failure Failure is getting knocked out of Euros by Iceland in final 16 in 2016 or not even qualifying in 2008 or finishing bottom in our World Cup Group in 2014 with one point

    Agreed. Just having some stability and certainty should be sufficient to increase investment…subject to anything scary in the labour manifesto (unlikely)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Crazy times. Said a few times before the biggest mistake Sunak made was making Bravermann Home Secretary and not purging the right of the party as soon as he became leader. They never wanted him and held him responsible for Boris going, so he may as well have got rid and presented it as a...

    Johnson fucked himself though ultimately. I’ve said before the biggest mistake he made was not having a strong, capable team around him. He leaned towards yes men and women, many of whom just weren’t very good. He could’ve been a reasonable figure head leader in better times with a strong team...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    They were wrong to bring Truss in ! To be fair Sunak/hunt have cleaned up the mess economically. Unfortunately Sunak is the least political politician I’ve ever seen and not sure he has a grand vision - decent caretaker but maybe not much more. Whoever took over from Truss and Johnson was...
