Mine too. First full international was England v USSR at Wembley in 67, 2 - 2 draw. Another winger ran that show, Igor Chislenko.

Salah! Almost Moussa’s standard there. Arse being ripped a new one.

Suggestions that this might just be a parody account!

If the season starts like the computer has predicted it's going to be a hoot on here!

No sense of being a patronising git in this response then!

Shouldn't this thread be retitled Boris Johnson and the death of the Tory Party?

Overreaction by the Tory cnt, overreaction by the media.

No just a c*nt

Nash he’s just a c*nt

Ah well let's all give up. No ****ing point to it anymore. After all as fans we're entitled to a rich owner, aren't we?

Got to love the foaming hate of the anti-cycling brigade.

The Daily Heil always fails to process this. “Road tax” based on emissions, unless I fart on a ride I’m not contributing to climate change. Does that bellend Always.SFC have similar issues with golfers wearing golf stuff, park footballers playing in footie kit, or Judo players doing Brian Jacks impersonations? BTW I Also have third party insurance, another Heil misconception. Oh and B o l l o c k s to Brexit

Great stuff

Either turn your predictive text off or learn how to spell the chairman's name. As I'm sure you're aware Goa is in India!

Here's another thing that the top few % use to their advantage, the education system. Around 7% of children are privately educated, rising to around 15% post 16. Now you might not have an issue with that in itself but a closer look reveals a fundamental difference in the exam systems available in both sectors. It's all to do with the performance league tables which are the blight of the state system and occurs at both GCSE and A Level. A Levels and GCSE's were reformed in between 2102 and 2014 at the behest of the then Education Secretary Michael Gove. The idea was to 'raise standards' increase rigour and eliminate what the government saw as the 'cheaters charter' afforded by coursework. Come 2016 and students in state schools began studying these new and very much more demanding specifications. As ever there was loophole iGCSEs and CIE (Cambridge International Examinations) A Levels. The purpose of iGCSEs and CIE A Levels was to offer a UK accredited qualification for students in International Schools and those studying in parts of Africa, the Caribbean and Indian sub-continent. Trouble is these have been taken to offer an easier route through exams at 16 and 18 than Gove's new super exams and were widely taken up by fee paying schools. For a while some state schools adopted them as well. However now they are no longer accredited as a bone-fide GCSE qualification.............................For state schools that is, as they no longer count towards a school's performance targets! As a result state schools offering these dropped them. Meanwhile the fee paying sector are free to continue to offer iGCSEs and CIE A Levels as their system of accountability does not involve performance targets in the same way. In essence most privately educated children have an easier route through exams than those in the state sector, where this really becomes important is at A Level which in turn impacts on university entry. I am a self employed private tutor and have worked with young people in CIE, iGCSE, AQA, OCR, Edexcel geography courses, so am well placed to see the differences. Here are a couple of examples. The first is from a recent iGCSE paper and is worth 7 marks, the highest tariff question candidates need to answer. The main difference is in the command word. Describe in the iGCSE question and 'to what extent' in the AQA one. They require one to simply regurgitate what they know while the other has to engage in a written discursive argument The second is from AQA GCSE 1-9 Paper 2 sat in June last year and is the highest tariff question on the urban section of the paper. This is worth 9 marks. Most urban areas experience traffic problems. For an urban area you have studied, describe the strategies which have been used to reduce traffic congestion. Name of urban area ...................................................... To what extent has urban change created environmental challenges in a UK city you have studied. So which one do people think is harder, and is the system of accountability in education fair? One rule for those with money and the rest can go hang!!

Quite a bit I expect.

They were a vile bunch in the 70s too. Anyone else remember Hill Lane on 23/03/74?

Cycling jungle drums suggesting that Ineos/Ratcliffe might pick up tab for Team Sky. Both Monaco based!

Dragging out that ****ing idiot out is an absolute hoot! Lol at the comments under the video as well. Funny if wasn't the rantings of right wing conspiracy theorist and was actually true. Would be fun watching Gammons exploding with rage across the country! BOOM!

If you are going to put up an argument at least don’t be a grammatical idiot!

Where does it say you have any right of entitlement to respond thus? You wouldn't respond to her in the same way face to face so why do so in public, oh I forgot you're keyboard gives you anonymity so that make it OK. Social media in a nutshell!

Southern Italy has always been peripheral. As long ago as 1950 the Italian Government were trying to stimulate growth in the south with the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno. (Fund for the South) this was pre EEC/EC/EU. Whilst it built motorways and bridges and improved infrastructure not all projects promised were completed and it's estimated that around 30% of the fund was squandered. This was in part due political and financial incompetence at a local level, and possibly because money was diverted by organised crime. Most of the industrial development like the Alfa Romeo factory at Pomigliano d'Arco and Bagnoli Steelworks in Naples was highly automated and did little to address the chronic employment and migration problems that the south faced, and still faces. Most of the companies who located as a result of the Cassa were inevitably from the North like Alfa, which meant that money leaked back in that direction rather staying in the South. Whist it may have made economic sense for the north to be part of the Eurozone it was never in the interest of the south which has more in common with Greece than much of the rest of Italy.

And how we laughed at the Everton Forum. No different here!

F**k me we’ve been relegated!

Back in the day I used to be in charge of KS 3 in a Berkshire secondary school. Part of that role involved leading primary/secondary transition. Even the Year 6 going into year 7 didn't behave as immaturely as most on this thread.
