The City of London - could the Luftwaffe come back and finish the job please ?

A lovely comment at the end of a week we remembered the fallen

The off-side rule

and what English football and footballers have become over the last 15 years- joyless, generic, middle class tosh(unless rovers are winning of course ) Bring Back The Tackle!

Starting milner in centre mid. Nothing at all to be gained from it, especially with Barkley and others on the bench

I'm not watching England but for @#/? sake. Milner has to be one of the least inspirational players to ever play for England... especially when he's put in roles where he's expected to be creative.

A rich man's Keef, he is!

Only if it's everybody's favourite hate figure, I guess (by that I mean JR, btw )

It is if we're discussing Milner.

[Stuart]

Fair dos LD!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

It is if we're discussing Milner.

He sums up what is wrong with English football for me. He can run a bit, pass it a bit , head it a bit, tackle a bit but is totally unable to do anything constructive or inspirational. He wouldn't have got in the good Rovers sides we've had over the last 20 years but he's got God knows how many caps for England.

Blokes who worked locally earning good cash at places like ICI, Crown, ROF, Mullards etc. did very little but plenty of overtime, got handsome redundancy payments and now moan like f### because not only do they not get 25-30k a year or copious OT but they actually have to graft.

And the stupid feckers wonder why the places where they used to work aren't there anymore.

Economic illiterates who blame workers receiving decent living wages for the demise of badly managed companies or companies forced to close through a lack of government support and industrial policy.

Both make valid points imo. The workers took the p1ss and elected politically motivated left wing unions and the management left themselves open to criticism and accusation because they either failed or didn't have the balls or the wit to sack off the shirkers and troublemakers, put the unions in their place and stamp out bad practice from the off. The only criticism of Margaret Thatcher is that she was born 10 years too late.

Metrosexual man-bags, moisturisers and "guy-liners" for men, women's hair-do's for fellas, jeans that don't fit and slide down your rear-end (as previously noted), wtf is that all about?

MTFU.

You've really upset me, Bryan.

It's not what you said, it's the way that you said it.

The only criticism of Margaret Thatcher is that she was born 10 years too late. unions rightly fought for their members to share in corporate success, a decent living wage for workers and better working conditions and practices. Management meanwhile paid themselves grotesque salaries and bonuses, a practice that continues to this day resulting in the widening gap between rich and poor. The only criticism of Thatcher is that she was born at all - without her we might still have a significant industrial base instead of this lop-sided unbalanced economy based on financial services in the southeast.

Voila. Corrected it for you.

Cyclists who won't abide by the rules of the road . I nearly knocked one off his bike this morning as he cut up another motorist and then drove down a one way street that I was coming out of.

Do these people have a death wish.? They shouldn't be allowed on the road.

[T.J.Newton]

When and where possible why aren't cycle paths combined with the pavement? this is how its done in Berlin-Germany and it works great for everybody, they just split the pavement in 2 with a line or different surface and everybody stays in their own area(motor vehicles on the roads, cyclists on the outside halve of the pavement and walkers on the inside, everybody there knows the rules and fastidiously sticks to them=Germany and if a pedestrian does get in the way of a cyclist or visa versa, expect some verbals!(which is a better option than being hit by a motor vehicle!).
