Lord Duckhunter

All this nonsense about the early 70's . It was right to join then an it's right to leave now . Had it remained The EEC and remained at under a dozen countries with similar GDP I doubt whether there would have been any thought of a referendum , let alone leaving

What about people banging on about our glorious semi final defeat in '96 ? " It's coming home " FFS .

"Further" , we've hardly had any austerity at all . I wouldn't have ring fenced any departments , therefore we could cut foreign aid . The pension triple lock is going to cost us a fortune . We should stop subsidising big business with tax credits , it depresses wages . We are still not living within our means despite growth in the economy . Osborne has been wrong time and time again, starting from promising to match labours spending plans when in opposition . We needed a proper Tory government not a new labour lite one . There will always be boom & bust and there will always be recessions Brexit or not . We didn't tighten fiscal policy enough , therefore we're not going to be able to lossen it when we get a slow down . He's done exactly what he accused labour of doing .

**** me some people wet their pants at the slightest bit of turbulence. The £ will soon be back where it was against the € as Europe is broken . Anybody who believes that Gideon was ever going to run a surplus probably still believes in father Xmas . It was never going to happen, he's just used Brexit as an excuse, look at his record . Any slowdown in the housing market will be more to do with Gideons ill conceived property tax rises than any Brexit . Provided Gideon and Carny are moved on and some competent replacements brought nobody will notice much difference. Gideon has been a smoke & mirrors Chancellor, talking a good game whilst doing **** all to fix the economy. He's missed pretty much every target , messed up pretty much every budget , has basically followed Darlings plan, yet tries to claim the rebalanced the economy , fixed the roof whilst the sun shines and other such nonsense . We havent had anything like the austerity needed , are still overspending and now you remain mugs are going to let him blame it all on Brexit . Open your eyes.

He's a far better player than JWP & Reed . So he would improve us , no doubt . Whether he's worth the money for the improvement is debatable .I'm sure there's better value around , but I would quite like a few more Brits in the squad

It'll be another white wash .

Down to May , Leadsom and Gove now

Provided her chancellor and foreign sec are leavers I could live with May , especially if she gives Gideon the bullet . This is where Cameron blew it, Wilson recommended staying in but generally stayed out of the dirty stuff and remained aloof from the battle . He would not have had to resign if he lost , whereas Cameron got so personally involved that he couldn't stay . Had Cameron done a may , made his recommendation but left the campaigning to Gideon & Labour , he would not have had to go, and who knows may even have won .

General elections aren't about one single issue , but a referendum is . May will face Leadsom or Gove . The majority of Tories voted leave . To win any election May will have to commit to a timetable for withdrawal and will probarely have to rule out a general election . Contrary to popular belief on here, the Tory members are not stupid, they know full well the dangers of a Remainian somehow trying to fudge , delay or even overturn the will of the people . To win May will have to box herself in . There will be no general election prior to May '20 . No chance .

Lol , still in denial ? You're like s spotty teenage unable to get over being dumped . The U.K. is leaving the EU ,we had the vote , there won't be another one . It's settled for a generation

No chance

Suck it up, you may get another vote in 40 years time

Why do the remain losers keep banging on about Europe?

Lol still at the denial stage . We're leaving the EU , end of. Get your head round the fact you lost , are out of touch with the majority of the country and need to move on . Us kippers did it ...........

The biggest joke is that even with these pathetic £3 rules that Ed brought in , he still shouldn't have made the ballot . It was people like Beckett , trying to get rid of him that lent him their nomination . I believe the saintly Jo Cox did so as well . The Tories always make sure head bangers are kept away from the membership vote

Shows how good the Portuguese pens were the other night . If you're going to give it the big one before taking it , you've got to score . He made himself look a right plum

You don't think we should be winning things ,and be competing with Italy , Germany , the past 50 years ? There's a fundamental difference between Chelsea & Saints, there shouldn't be between England & Italy . We have the most money , the richest league and club sides have won countless European cups . You're making out we're some sort of under dog , it's nonsense. We're as big a football nation as anyone, we're just shiete at it.

I've never understand why Venables & Robson are revered as England managers . '90 was nothing special , poor in group , Belgium beaten in last minute and the Cameroon , Cameroon FFS . '96 , forget about Sweatys and Holland ( I think Holland qualified anyway ) We were home against a poor bunch , we should have won that. We're a joke , Robson and Venables failed as much as Sven , but the media and ex players love them. Because we we played well in semis it seems to make them great campaigns , the truth is we were **** poor before that stage and played well, but lost , in the semis . Germany & Italy would look back on both as failure

England have been wetting their pants over 2 semi final appearances the past 40 years . We even wet our knickers over '96 when we were at home and there were some pretty poor sides involved . Wales have matched that with premiership reserves and championship players , puts it all in perspective

He is not what we need at this point in time , but he certainly is good enough for us .

Glad to see Saunders on motd give some credit to John Toshack & Brian Flynn . Not taking anything away from Coleman and the present bunch , but the FAW had a plan , Toshack & Flynn were instrumental in starting it. In comparison our FA have been all over the place for years

Good for Jose & Cedric

It's even more pathetic if you go back 50 years . Belgium & Cameroon in '90 , there was 1 in '86 but cant remember who , Spain '96 but that was on pens . Off the top of my head I can't remember any more

Contrast Ramsay's performance with Rooney

Can't resist
