So when you said your future had been decided by a nation of xenophobes and racists, what you actually meant is that YOU have decided that SOME aspects of your future MIGHT be best served working in another part of Europe.... In the short term, maybe. Welcome to the 21st Century, I've had to live in 5 foreign countries to get to my current job.

Jobs which you have now been banned for life from ever having because they are linked to Europe, I presume. I'm intrigued actually, what is it specifically you have been banned from doing now that we are living the EU?

I didn't know this referendum was deciding people's futures, must be terrible. I had no idea Farage had told you which career you have to choose, where you have to live, who you have to marry, how many kids you're allowed, what to call your dog and where you're allowed to go on your stag do.

How is that any different to the remainers claiming financial meltdown barely minutes after the markets opened this morning? Nothing has been proven yet, although both sides have tried to claim otherwise.

You're assuming all EU member states will indefinitely be run by a pro-EU leader. Dave gambled and lost. (God forbid) Farage was our PM he'd still have called it and won.

I work for a Scandinavian company and I know some seriously cheesed off Danes and Swedes. Wouldn't bet against either of them being next. I saw the interview with La Pen today, if she gets in power she will almost certainly call a referendum.

I'll stick my neck out no say that nobody currently living and working here from the EU will be kicked out.

I don't think anyone is under the illusion that we can demand whatever we want but that there is no sensible reason we can't reach similar trade agreements with EU member states to those already in place. Same with immigration.

The big question is to what extent other countries are willing to cut off their nose to spite their face. The most sensible thing to do would be to continue with the status quo, at least to begin with, in terms of trade agreements. Of course the rest of Europe could play hard ball just to spite us and set an example to others who are considering a referendum but that could then of course backfire. If EU countries start offering unnecessarily poor trade agreements and both our economies suffer from it, they will just look like bullies in the eyes of the rest of Europe and it will further fuel the flames of other anti-EU rebellions.

Soooo...

It was a friend on Facebook. I wish I was that quick witted.

The residents of Sunderland probably thought they were voting to leave Sunderland.

Haven't seen Sterling's value drop this sharply since the Russia game.

I'm just going to quote this before the original mysteriously disappears.

Meh. For me, similar feelings of indifference to what I felt when Morgan and Shaw Left. Many people last year thought Morgan was irreplaceable. I saw one person refer to him as the 'be all and end all' of our team. No one person is irreplaceable, I'm confident we will find someone decent enough to fill his shoes. Who'd heard of Kante this time last year?

No they haven't. It's been fairly mild in the Med recently and it's only 24 degrees in Nice right now, at the hottest time of day.

I won't believe this until it is confirmed by an estate agent in Chandler's Ford.

Are there any players out there called 'Greenie'? Wouldn't mind having Pelle, Greenie and Pellegrini.

Couldn't we do something original for once? Surely there's another 90s dance track we can rip off. Let all sing 'Ooohhhhhhhh Cuco Martina' to the tune of Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre

alpine doesn't care whether or not he is right, he just needs the attention. MLG doesn't care whether or not he is being trolled, he just needs to show everyone else he is correct. Together they make one heck of a tedious team.

I don't think he will regret that, he would never have turned down the chance to play for Liverpool and he was pretty much finished as a Premier Legue player anyway, be it here or at Anfield. If he hadn't left he'd probably have spent the next couple of years sat on our bench watching Pelle.

I fully respect Les and his philosophy but I think Koeman's time here just coincided with a dry spell for the academy. Had Shaw and Chambers been coming through in the last 2 years we may not be having this debate. It's hard to see Koeman forging a clear pathway unless the talent is there.

Not sure which young players exactly Koeman was expected to play. Targett and JWP both saw a fair bit of action without ever doing anything special. Reed? (The other one) never saw anything from him which screamed, 'first name on the team sheet'.

That's not Erwin, the earlobes are the wrong shape.

Hart Clyne - Smalling - Cahill - Bertrand Wilshere - Dier - Rooney Lallana - Vardy - Sturridge I'd give Kane, Alli and Walker a rest. The latter has looked pretty good thus far and I'd want to save him for the knockouts. That team should be enough for Slovakia.
