East Kent Saint

I don't think so , like Trump he thinks he can just pay for his policies by taking on debt. He is not the the answer , like Farage he promises unsustainable answers . As I said before UK is on a continuing downward economic slope since WW2 . Brexit is another nail in the coffin . Starmer is hamstrung by our economic predicament as was the previous Govt although that was thanks to Boris. As an individual if you get into debt etc it is a long hard slog to get straight again . I am fortunate to be be born in 1954 so have no mortgage, a proper company pension etc but I feel for youngsters these days , I don't think I would survive their predicament.

Better to have a replay on Tuesday if Saturday has no result , a different game but I think PSG would have won a replay but who knows ?

I still feel a penalty shoot out is a poor way to decide a cup final , surely a replay is better ? Wasn't that the case with the FA Cup back in the day ?

Lowe is not the answer to any question

That is more to do with developed country birth rate dropping like a stone so to maintain the growth economic model you absolutely need to import labour . Ties of empire also a big factor . This will be taken care of after Brexit as we will have a points system and only let in the skilled people we need .

Early goal means Arsenal have now been under constant pressure and can't get hold of the ball

Yes , unfortunately people can't factor in end of empire , broke after WW2 , gradual loss of influence on world stage , lack of industry after exporting it to far east and the final nail , to Putin's and Trump's delight , Brexit to destabilise Europe and reduce GB to a 21st Century irrelevance . Wouldn't live anywhere else though 😄

Bit too much of a whinger for Saints !

1970 , but England had had their turn so it was Bobby Moore shoplifting fit up plus all night music bands to keep players awake etc .

Sacking him wasn't my reaction, total lack of consistent rules , punishments that pile points deduction on point deduction . Clubs being allowed to sue other clubs just to get £££ , lunatic club owners that won't sell up etc . Football needs proper regulation not the clubs getting together to agree or not agree rules , It's all bad bad overall management , like F1 , boxing , tennis rugby etc etc ...

Excellent news , about time FIFA were put in the dock , after Blatter they are much worse ,which in itself is mind boggling . I have no time for world cup , endless expanded european leagues etc . Players being burnt out , much like me now !

My concern was self punishment may backfire if the FA feel they want to make a statement and add their punishment so wait and see before taking any action such as sacking the Manager !

Also part of a Slade lyric , their merry Christmas one I think

Best not self flagilate too much as FA will want more plus all the other twats will be sticking their oar in .

Administration of the Prem and EFL is hopeless , their job is difficult against foreign ownership of clubs with multibillion resources. The rules are back of a fag packet style . Clubs are well aware of spying and don't care so a total rewrite of rules is needed to prevent any more self I tested spy accusations.
