    He hasn't had much of a crack of the whip in Management has he. He was our's when we had nothing to spend and no real players and when we came out of the other end of that, well sort of, he got the chop. No chance to prove anything. Now he has had a couple of weeks only and once again has the chop. Not anything to judge his managerial ability on in reality is it. We needed somebody with much more experience than him and I think it's why he was hung out by us in the end. I have a lot of admiration for the man as well.

    OH....that's generally shown in small type....I don't expect an England game to be pushed on to there.

    Didn't miss much: England didn't play anything like as well as in the preceding match although Kosovo were much livelier opponents than Montenegro.

    I watched it on ITV1. And no you didn't miss much. Thought England were quite poor despite the score.

    Certainly not on ITV1 in the South East of England.

    Johnson v Corbyn....pointless exercise....what took my attention was Julie Etchingham.....she is a lightweight in political journalism....they just talked through her.....not being an ITV regular I have hardly ever heard of her....surely ITV have someone that has more authority and receives more respect from those she is interviewing.

    Didn't bother to watch it. Both Leavers and so of no interest electorially, one a Marxist, the other lacking morals and unfit to govern.

    So Labour are leavers....thank goodness someone knows what they are.....you should phone Corbyn straight away and let him know.....you might get a job in his spin department.....I'm sure we can find you a red tie and teach you the words to their anthem.....the Red Flag.....is flying here.

    It could of been worse last night.... we could have had that bleating Joe Swinson on the program....her voice and her comments about what she'll do when she becomes PM.....is getting up peoples noses.....remind me how many seats she had.... was it 12 plus a few renegades....making it 20 I believe.....don't think she'll make it.

    At least Swinson states categorically what her parties policies are and there is no confusion. You cannot complain that Corbyn is at fault for saying nothing straight and then complain when another does.

    I didn't watch the programme or at least not much of it. Johnson however comes across as nothing more than a bully who can't shut his mouth when he needs to. He just lies and lies whenever he says anything. Proof yet again today when he stated workers would be £500 per year better off and continued to push that figure even though the interviewer pointed out that that wasn't true and it was no more than £2 per week and the £500 was only a wish. It's in their manifesto yet Johnson still didn't know. The man is a disaster. Then you have far lefty Jeremy who wants to spend everything we have and a shed load of everything we don't have. At least the Lib Dems aren't looking to bancrupt the country totally. I also think picking on her tone of voice is a bit shallow. It's policies that count not what somebodies voice sounds like. And no I'm not a Lib Dem man before you ask.

    Corbyn's a Leaver because he believes the EU is a capitalist conspiracy against the workers. The equally madcap fascist Brexiteers think the EU is a socialist conspiracy against the UK's Elizabethan entrepreneurial dynamism. The truth is in between these nonsensical extremes. It's a civilised group of free countries which is good for our prosperity, our freedom, our security and our environment.

    My wife had the pleasure of meeting Anne Widicombe in our City Centre yesterday. My missus is a bit like that and makes a bee line for anyone spouting their gob off. Having made a few challenges to what was being spouted this bloke who was with her came across and tried to intervene with a few choice spouts of his own. My good lady pointed out she was asking the monkey not the organ grinder (she wasn't impressed with young Anne). One of his spouts was that "your son's could get called up into the federal army being raised in Europe if we stay in". Arf Arf Arf......My missus pointed out that her son's were well over 40 and he was talking bollox. She asked him which countries in the EU who were proposing this Army had conscription. He wasn't sure but would get back to her. She reckoned that Anne Widicombe was a bumbling old lady who probably had less clue than the chair she was sitting on. She expected her to whip out a witchetty grub and chew on it and burst into a Waltz any second. Mad as a march hare.

    Mad if you think leaving the EU is going to be good for the economy. And the economy drives everything else.

    I met a couple today who spend most of the year living in Spain. They apparently voted to leave. The reason was that all those foreigners come into the UK and get handed everything for nothing and they don't want them here. Asked them if they didn't see a bit of an irony there by them objecting to foreigners living in their country but nothing wrong with them living in somebody else's. The blokes wife could see it and said to him that she had thought they shouldn't have voted that way originally. Now my guess is he said we don't want them and she voted for a quiet life.

    As for project fear well which side are you talking about Plym? Are you seriously saying that all the fear is being spread by remain and nothing said by the leave side is exactly the same? Federal Armies and conscription, taking away our Sovereignty, not able to make any laws of our own. Not forgetting all cucumbers have to be straight and 10 inches long.
