Whitey Grandad

Yes indeed, there are far too many 'what ifs' in there somewhere yet this vote will be analysed and dissected for decades to come. Politicians will not want to be caught on the wrong foot again.

"Took one for the team" "There was contact"

This. When we see what he can do when he really wants to it makes you question some of his abject appearances last season.

Which century was that, the 13th? There's a summary of all the clubs and their financial situations here: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/25/premier-league-finances-club-by-club-breakdown-david-conn (These figures are to May/June 2015) Saints paid 70% of their turnover as wages. TV money is the most significant income.

All very good points. Let's not forget that the club has gone in a very few years from bankrupt to an upper Premier League establishment and that involves a large increase of capital value which has to come from somewhere.

Nice to read. I like him and would be sorry to lose him. He plays football with a smile, metaphorically at least.

"Timed his run to perfection" Not a phrase but anything that ends -esque especially 'Beckhamesque'.

That was fabulous. Moments like that restore my love of football.

Repeating it is even more childish. Such comments belong in the playground. I'm very disappointed in you.

That is a very childish expression.

Good. Now you're beginning to understand we'll get you thinking like a Continental eventually.

The commissioners have no power. Everything is controlled by the Council of Ministers. All this talk about 'ever closer union' is just more of the empty rhetoric. It sounds good and they all like to pretend that they support it but everybody knows that in actuality it isn't going to happen. They are just playing the game but the English take every word literally.

Where does it all end. You could say that those who take part in dangerous sports should pay for any consequential medical treatment, for example.

Now we know where all our transfer profits are going

Ah yes. Last year's player profits on this year's purchases and wages. Thanks.

Worse than that it's not even funny.

I would be very interested in what these 'other benefits' might be. So far there is not a lot to get excited about. Trade is extremely important. It also leads to greater understanding and cooperation.

They'll still be there now. Those machines are useless.

Actually €14m not €4m but they want around €20m. All 'according to an English source'. I wonder who that could be?

Wes, I get the impression that you are happy with Brexit at any price and are not too bothered about what trading situation we eventually end up with. Of course countries trade with each other, it's the costs, difficulties and overheads involved that are significant.

You are obviously streetwise Sue but I know people who refuse to accept that these price hikes occur even when you put the evidence in front of them.

But we have to deal with 26 countries other than Germany and some of them are not too bothered about car exports. What exactly is this 'clout' whereof you speak?

No, Clasie definitely caught Shaw's right foot/ankle which pushed it onto the back of Shaw's left calf. If you think it's easy to do this yourself then give it a try. This is one illustration of where TV is not very good at showing the detail. All the players who were close by and the referee saw it clearly and accepted it.

Good advice.

That's not abuse. Some would regard it as a compliment.
