Has Foden not been playing on the left wing? De Bruyne is their 10.

Not when kdb was out for long periods.

Grew up with Oasis on repeat. I now cant stand to listen to Wonderwall.  I near put it as their worst song.

They have some crackers though. My 3...

Cigarettes and Alcohol
Supersonic
Some might say

I really could pick another 3 that I like equally as much.

Think it comes down to age. Younger folk won't be as familiar with he older theme and as children growing up listening to it, it will be the one you will prefer as it lives rent free in your subconscious.  Old one for me

That's definitely it. The first one brings back more memories, sitting watching the matches with my Da who's no longer with us. Down being good helped too!

Poch probably has had enough working with those immature players and that awful ownership. Plus it seems like they are poised to sell the likes of Gallagher who was one of the few players displaying any leadership.

Always good to have a tournament on in the summer for a few weeks.England pre tournament favourites but think they have issues at centre half and left back which will winder their progress.Germans on home soil and France should be difficult to beat.

I looked at that England squad annouced yesterday and I just thought, I dont see the favourites tag here.  Yes they have some very talented players in the likes of Kane, Foden, Bellingham and even Rice but we all know that they will be set up poorly for a start.  Foden has been Pl player of the year playing in the 10. Bellingham has been playing 10 too. What does Southgate do there... foden to the wing or Bellingham back to being an 8.

Their defence looks poor and will struggle against good attacking units. France would surely be ahead of them.

Very interested to see how Germany go.

Think the public see budget surpluses ,no housing policy, lengthening health issues and rising prices .
Immigration is an easy issue to latch on to and the rise in tented villages  around Dublin and the allocation of busloads to the rural areas heightens fear .
The government has a communication issue and a total ineptness but tbh Sinn Fein haven't been too vocal in how to go about sorting out the immigration mess .

Irexit incoming? What would the vote be like for that? Controlling your own borders and having all shape bananas

Surely, when they look at the mess that's the UK's been in, anyone with half a brain would realise this is madness

Lets face it - the brits did it 'cos of da foreigners'

And the foreigners have never been spilling into the country quicker

Even the far right looney bins can see that?  No?

You make the false assumption that the public have half a brain.

The public see issues with GP appointments, lack of housing etc etc and are told it's them bloody foreigners coming over here, not paying taxes, taking all the benefits etc etc and believe it all the while the real reasons for these issues are inept governments and in the UK's situation an actual Government policy in Austerity which drove a lot of the issues attributed to immigrants.

All the while the rich get even richer.
