There's clearly no serious prospect of people being sent to Rwanda in huge numbers, it's obviously meant to act as a deterrent. I don't think it would be a particularly successful strategy-although as no one has been sent yet that is as yet unproven- but I'd be interested to hear alternative strategies to deal with the problem. With regards to Ukrainians, if they were not applying for the support scheme but were instead rocking up to Britain in dinghies from the channel then I'd be in favour of them being treated in the same way as others who arrive in that manner. Also if individual Ukrainians has committed some awful crimes or something then I'd support their removal. I haven't seen that happen yet so hopefully that's not something to be worried about.

Yes that's what he announced after commiting the offence. A bit like when Kevin Spacey got accused and then used it to announce he was gay.

I know we will get a striker. I want a good one.

Is there a point in your mind that dinghy crossings could increase to where you would think the number is too high?

A few negative pieces of news today after all the positivity. Missing out on a striker, KWP interest, hammers interest in broja etc. Coukd do with some exciting attacking links.

Of course they have and they get pelters when it happens. As they should.

My brother in law is a spurs season ticket holder and really rates him. Can't say I've seen him much myself to form an opinion.

My opinion of men or women who pay vast sums of money for naked pictures and videos is about as low as the women who do it and treat it like a lifestyle choice. I have a wonderful family who love me and I have never been involved with any form of domestic abuse unlike some so there won't be any need for me to pay for sex.

Absolutely. I agree with every word.

If encouraging people to come here and do menial jobs becomes policy, why should these jobs be offered to the people who come in dinghys across the channel? If it's decided that that's what we need, I'd far rather offer those out to people who go through the correct routes to get here. Quite clearly all dinghy migrants aren't fleeing war or climate change that's just absurd.

That was just a rant talking about what you wouldn't do which wasn't the question I had asked.

I'd rather be poor quite frankly.

I don't think it should even be contemplated then tbh. I don't think my wife, daughter or sister would ever resort to it no matter the circumstances. I would hope that would be the case for the vast majority.

I'm not struggling to the extent that I'd consider prostituting myself to be a viable option.

I know it's slightly off topic but how would you solve the migrant crisis at the channel?

Really? There's more to life than money. How would you feel if it were your daughter, sister or partner?

Yes I get that. I suppose I'd also feel like I'd failed as a father if my son was the type of man who would just accept his wife whoring herself online for cash. Have some self respect ffs.

TBF that shot was proper shit. Bizarre clip to use.

I think that's really sad. I'd feel like I'd failed as a father if my daughter started doing that.

Yes fair enough! It's a bit like fantasy football considering our meagre resources over the last few years. We will undoubtedly be stronger than last year.

Could we dare to wish for another attacking midfielder, two strikers and a fullback? Something like Broja, dembele, a half decent utility man at the back and CHO? Would be unreal...

No it isn't.

I get that. Even things like the announcers and commentators are very light and informal. It makes it seem less consequential in their desire to make the whole thing more family friendly. They'd be better off looking at something like women's tennis which has done a really good job of marketing itself over the years.

I'm pleased it's getting a higher profile and I did watch the saints ladies promotion game and wanted them to win but generally the pace of the game is just too slow to keep my attention. I wonder if things would improve if they made the pitches a bit smaller?

I have a passing interest because I always want England to win in every sport. I've watched this second half and it's been pretty unentertaining so far. I heard the first half was better? Maybe I'll give the entire game a go for the next one and see.
