Not sure why someone is laughing at that comment. It's a dangerous time when a team stops scoring and even during our awful runs we were always a threat up front. Could be very difficult if not scoring becomes a real habit.

So we should have just left in 2016 without a referendum?

Like trousers said, was it reasonable to have a referendum in 1975 and then act on the decision? If it was then why could there never be a mechanism to reverse that decision when a new generation can have their say?

So in your mind was it ever possible for someone intelligent and fully aware of the facts to want to leave the EU?

Yes probably true. Also they haven't really had to because there's been a steady supply of cheap labour from the continent. Let's hope that some of this will now happen given the rather pressing need.

Yeah my post wasn't an opportunity to enter into some big brexit debate again. I'm sure that brexit hasn't helped the situation in this instance but the pandemic is the primary driver for a lot of this stuff and I doubt we'd be in this situation otherwise.

No idea about what most wanted to do. That's what I wanted to do.

Again, the problem is that being in the EU meant that companies just accepted dirt cheap labour from abroad, lowering wages for everyone and not bothering to train anyone else. The fact that leaving the EU may have contributed to less workers willing to work for peanuts just proves what a crummy deal it was for many people.

Fair enough. So seems a little silly to blame brexit for this situation then doesn't it. It's a poor government policy problem.

Adkins becomes even more of a legend.

Good results for saints. I agree with those saying our season has been better so far than expected.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the lack of hgv drivers and all the associated problems just showing one of the problems with the EU? The problem being that it was too easy to import a load of dirt cheap labour rather than training people and paying them a decent wage?

Yes I, have nothing against him at all. I just think his speech isn't as clear as I'd like (TBF Merrington has that issue too!) and that momentary period where I have to think about what he's said takes me out of the moment.

I'd drop him because Forster is a better keeper.

City had zero shots.

He should be in the first team.

Always possible but considering the reports from the last teams supporters it's not looking good is it.

Oh dear. Sounds like Lyanco is exactly what was expected then. Still time to turn it around obviously but not a promising start by the sounds of things.

Is it wrong that I find his accent a bit irritating? Sort of a major thing for a radio show.

Could he not just be on holiday? He's retiring at the end of the season anyway.

Hi Sue thanks for taking an interest. Making a small comment about certain forms of the rainbow flag being political (which it is) in one larger post isn't an example of being "so upset." I'm interested in the topic and will discuss it if the topic come up in order to express my opinions but I'm not upset in the slightest. Why would I be?

I'm not upset in the slightest. I haven't given it a second thought after writing this post. Odd that you would think I am.

Sounds like Bednarek did really well too. I'm pleased because it gives us options to ns at the back suddenly.

Yep. Can't be bothered to moan, it's an absolutely fantastic result.

I think it's great that women's football is seemingly more popular. My only real gripe is that some outlets like the BBC seen to be trying to get people to take an interest by tricking them into clicking on links by obscuring the fact its the women's game (they do it with women's cricket too). If they stopped doing that and putting it as their front page news item (even ahead of Premier league football) then I really would wish the sport well.
