What about FFP?

Players come, players go. It's what they do here and now that matters. They're like workhorses, run 'em into the ground and then move 'em on.

Nobody knows for certain. The official census figure certainly understates it but estimates from food suppliers and other utilities put the total figure much higher than the 62m.

No, ideally going out at the semi-finals after extra time and penalties. If they got to the final it would be a bit too close.

It all depends on the colour settings of the monitor they're using. It's a common problem for anyone using Photoshop. We have no end of problems in our business with people specifying Pantone (printing only) for a paint colour, usually a RAL code. I've even had one customer who specified a RAL code which was a bright orange but then refused the complete sign until it had been repainted in the colour he thought he was getting.

True, but it lessens the chances of any of them getting a career-threatening injury

You can't judge colours from a photo on a computer screen. I used to be involved in TV research, colour studio sampling standards to be precise. As far as TVs go there is no such colour as brown.

Those figures are for the UK, not England. And South-East England is even worse. Then take into account that the figure there is 'only' 62 million whereas according to many estimates it's nearer 80m.

Have we been paid yet?

I've checked and your figure of 5% is way too high, and at that time it included Ireland and Scotland which I didn't. Don't you find it a concern that 1% of the world is living in this tiny patch of land, and it's getting larger?

Yeah, mixed feelings about this. I'd rather they'd gone out in the semi-finals.

Sadly missed ?

Because it's a bloody big number and we're horrendously overcrowded. When I was young it was 52million. What's 1900 got to do with it? At that time most of London didn't exist and Middlesex was still a rural county.

Not many people can say that. Even fewer would admit to it. :respect:

Phew! I'll go back to my afternoon sleep.

Was there a (possibly tongue-in-cheek) reference to managing England one day? I was having a KFC in Cobham services at the time and they had Sky Sports News on a big screen with automatic subtitles.

Young girls' uniforms, maybe, but I can't find any my size these days

You're a woman; it's in your chromosomes.

Eternal Father & Sunset by the Royal Marines When the bugle starts the last post around 2:00 it really wells me up.

I was shocked to see that England houses about 1% of the world's population.

Did somebody call? It's a long time since I was wanted.

That's fair enough. The trouble is that we need more consistency, not less.

He didn't handle the ball deliberately, it bounced off his chest and hit his hand, but he could have reasonably expected that this might happen when he ran out to the edge of his area in an attempt to block the ball. Inside his area this is fine, outside it isn't, but from what I remember it hit his chest on the edge of the area and then hit his hand outside. I would have given it, others wouldn't.

Would you rather have this:
