The BBC will say it's doing their job because a lot of Brexiters are saying it's pro-Remain, and vice versa with Remainers. The problem I have with the BBC in recent years is that it's created a rod for it's own back with it's post-referendum ideological need to provide so-called balance. That's fine up to a point, but not to the detriment that it stops the BBC doing it's journalistic duty of checking whether what's been said is factually correct. This from a journalism lecturer explains it better... If someone says it's raining and another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fooking window and find out which is true. :)

I like John's updates, the EDF is the one-stop go to place for news, sport, weather, entertainment, even consumer advice on 'sophisticated' phone scams...:)

Tory Remainers now rebelling against the Mogglodyte rebels. The Gov could lose an amendment it capitulated on, but then be back where it started. Only in the Brexit madhouse...:)

Final Table... The normal game starts in a few weeks...:)

They used to say that a footballer reached their peak at around 28, often retiring by their early 30's. But with the introduction of sports science/improved diets etc players retire later nowadays...

Trumpy now saying the Sun's report was fake news. Oh the irony!...:)

No idea, but I remember Fergie once saying that young players are inconsistent and their game time needs to be managed well, so he would rest them. Southgate more or less played the same team except for the Belgium game, understandable as they were winning, but in hindsight some changes may have been beneficial. Even during the Croatia game in the second half he didn't see fit to change the formation. I felt that 3 central defenders against one Croatian striker was ok when we were knocking the ball around in the first half, but when the Croatians pressed in the second half, they panicked and started hitting it long. I think it would've helped to have gone to a flat back four and put an extra body in midfield which was getting overrun and stretched by Modric and co. Overall it's hard to criticise when they played well above expectations and became enjoyable to watch again...

May's invite has backfired on her big time...

Lots of rumours go around about Pep's teams and their 'nutrition'... ;-)

No, he was referring to whether they relaxed properly in their own downtime. Did the buzz of winning and getting through the stages, something new to them, sap some of their energy before they had even stepped onto the pitch? Not hard to imagine a lot of the young players would rather spend time on social media and gaming, rather than having an afternoon kip..:)
