Germany are a powerhouse but picking one out of 27 is not really an accurate assessment of the whole of the EU however much they are key to its success. I could reel off some of the employment (and in particular youth employment) figures across many of the southern EU countries and its horrific...

Did you read my earlier message BSB ? Remainers won’t vote for it because they don’t want to leave (and many still hold out a hope of staying in) or ending up with a closer relationship than that what’s being proposed (ie remaining in customs union etc). Entrenched positions without accepting...

That is part of the ‘divorce settlement’. I’m talking about the backstop which appears to be the major sticking point. If people take a step back and read the detail in the withdrawal agreement and consider how things are likely to play out, whilst hardly perfect, it really isn’t as bad as...

Because both sides are too entrenched in their view and neither will consider any compromise ! As I’ve read it, we don’t contribute to the EU if we’re in the backstop and don’t have to accept freedom of movement (and also out of the common fisheries policy). That’s not quite the same as we are...

Yep, agreed. It should have had some kind of margin in it, bizarre that it didn’t (I don’t think Scottish independence vote had it either) but we are where we are. Also agree that ‘the will the people’ is nonsense on so many levels as people for Remain and Leave for various different reasons...

A classic !

Yeah...not pleasant !!! (Vince Vaughan)

Decent film, enjoyed it. A couple of others I saw over xmas. Wind River (Netflix), Shot Caller, Lowlife and brawl on cell block 99 (all sky). Last three brutal but good Ps if people haven’t watched it Operation Odessa on Netflix (documentary)

Agree with this (which won’t surprise some !). The fee is now irrelevant, it’s been spent. It’s what he is or isn’t doing on the pitch that counts and whilst not prolific so far, has still been involved in 8 goals this season. Not bad for a 21 year old lad who was sat on the bench before he came...

From the Wycombe fans (not the best spelling and grammar but we’ll let that go) ‘I think many on here are not giving too much credit to Coventry, their work rate and closing down was very impressive. And in there number 20 Tom Baylis possible the most cultured and well balanced midfielder ive...

It wasn’t massive. Did look like he’d been fouled though Ps was being sarcastic about JCH.

Wasn’t long after he came on. Looked like he was fouled...having said that I didn’t have the best view as it was far side of the pitch/area so may be some city bias (however it’s not as if JCH ever goes down easily so stonewall in my book !!!)

Not saying it’s a cushty job. I’m just saying there’s plenty of other jobs where people work as hard/harder, get less pay and perks. I’d personally pay a premium to get good quality teachers into the most deprived areas/difficult to teach schools. It’s a totally different job to those in a...

Thats the only time I can think of JCH going down yesterday. How much more dangerous did he look staying on his feet ?! If he played like that every week he’d be one of my first picks, as it is maybe impact sub for last 30 mins could be his calling

I acknowledge that a lot of teachers work very hard (and the teachers in the inner city schools have my upmost respect and should be paid accordingly), however, when you look at the whole package - salary, pension (that private sector employees could only dream of) and holidays (13/14 weeks off...

JCH pen shout looked strong for starters !

Ps no problem with peole pulling him up for the volleyed chance (still by no means a ‘sitter’ but a very good chance he should’ve scored) but having a go when he created the second effort out of nothing, shooting just wide whilst on the run, is a bit harsh.

Most goalscorers aim for corners as it’s most likely to lead to a goal.

Agree. I’d be shocked if he didn’t play regularly in the prem (at the least). As everyone’s said it’s been a bit patchy this season (expected for a kid) but some of his play is levels above, he doesn’t go hiding when it’s not falling for him (see Chalton game as a great example) and ultimately...

The volley definitely, the effort for outside the area was decent enough. If that had been a yard to the left it would’ve been a great goal (took ball on half turn, cut inside and a good strike)
