Re: EU Referendum

I feel guilty about voting Leave but then I think about it and realise I would do the same if the situation occurred again. I can't blame myself - instead, I blame: - the EU - David Cameron (for rushing the negotiations) - sanctimonious snearing leftie prigs. These arses are the instigators of so m...

Re: EU Referendum

The way the Remain camp were going on, I half expected the Sun to not rise and the Moon to fall out of the sky after Brexit.

The EU is a good idea in principle but it wasn't implemented anywhere near how it should've been and it is undemocratic.

Thankfully we're out now.

This was the last opportunity to regain our identity. England, as I'd known it, is well and truly dead. Fuck this country.

Re: EU Referendum

As I said: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36596060 Most of the Remain argument seems to be about what MIGHT happen if we leave: essentially apocalyptic predictions that either cannot be independently verified until we actually leave, or can easily be contradicted. And that seems to be the basis...

Why not? That formation does suit the players we've got better.

I would start Vardy ahead of Kane though, at least for the Slovakia game.

Re: EURO 2016

England v Turkey on now and an interesting lineup:

Hart

Walker, Cahill, Stones, Rose

Wilshere, Dier, Alli

Sterling, Kane, Vardy

So that's quite a balanced looking 433 formation with lots of pace, energy, and quality.
