  1. The link wouldn't open on my machine
  2. Would these be the same EU people who will be stopped from entering Britain?
  3. Where does that say that we have the skills and experience to undertake these negotiations? In any case, a trade deal is nothing as straightforward as the Single Market. Sending to France (or any EU member) at the moment is a doddle, you just send it. Sending to anywhere in the rest of the world is a palaver and involves delays and costs. Having a trade deal doesn't mean that there will be any trade.
  4. Yes it does but a couple of days or even a few weeks are not an indication of what the situation will be further down the road. However they are a sign that the great powers are not happy with what has happened. The trouble is that once you fall behind you can never catch up. What I meant was that economically the judgment will come further down the line but I can see nothing positive about our situation and for me the prospect varies from bad to awful to disastrous.
  5. We don't actually have any civil servants who can negotiate these deals. We haven't done that for 43 years.
  6. The Times gives every player a rating out of ten after every game. This morning every England player was given a rating of.... A big fat zero.
  7. It's where we are after two years that matters. I can't see us anywhere other than somewhere between where we are now and 10 to 15% lower.
  8. Watching that was like pulling teeth.
  9. I thought there were rules about that. Which paper is it?
  10. It's dawned on me tonight what has gone wrong in all this business. People voted for what they didn't want but nobody has a clue what they did want.
  11. Any one member can veto it as could we, had we stayed.
  12. Took the penalty well but apart from that.... pants.
  13. Injured. But even with both legs in plaster he couldn't have done any worse.
  14. I would hang on for the end of season party but I'm always busy at Christmas.
  15. If only Ron had waiting instead of rushing off to Everton
  16. And all those international weekends. We used to play much better when the internationals were midweek.
  17. Free? He was on £3m a year!
  18. The scripted bit was generic. And would have been the same for any outcome. The difference was in the way he read it.
  19. If only he'd done that two weeks ago.
  20. Why blame Wishere he wasn't playing tonight. Was he?
  21. He seems to have taken it quite well, all things considered.
  22. What bargaining cards do you think we have? We can't threaten to walk out because we already have.
  23. Wow! That's about the same as Mané.
  24. And if the EU don't offer enough then the only way to stop the time bomb is to hold off activating Article 50. It's the only leverage that we have. So much for 'taking back control '.
  25. Because he was so out of touch with the country that he thought he could NOT lose. If he had run a more positive campaign he should have won but let's be clear about this, without Boris he would have survived. They were too busy pushing their personal to care about the welfare of the nation.
