Presumably he was on for 'balance'. What a fucking joke the BBC has become

"Planning"

Sorry to hear that, mate.

I knew you meant that, hence the wink. Agree though, I think it's a bridge too far for whoever wins tonight. I do think France got the rub of the green a bit though, in that every 2nd ball in the box fell kindly for them. But you need that type of luck and they deserved it for the way they played.

The small violet one on the right

Well, yes, seeing as they're the only team in the final at present I would think they'll have the shortest odds by some margin I thought they were awesome like, especially at the back.

Darlington will have been hand-picked as local, easy-to-beat opposition as well

Friendly or Europa League?

Equally, since when has leadership been about passing all the responsibility for something you helped cause (she actively campaigned for this) onto those who were largely misled about what it would entail?

Real high quality match this

Hope that's a deliberate send up of the POTUS mind

Exactly the same. First World Cup I can remember too and England went out after drawing with Spain in the evening but Brazil going out (iirc) earlier that afternoon had me absolutely gutted England, less so

This has brought back memories of Blaydon saying Newcastle should look at the latest prospect from Wollongong Wolves, in one of those moments where he'd forgotten he'd told people he wasn't still in Sydney but actually working as an apprentice journalist at the Evening Chronicle

Has he mentioned Farage for US Ambassador recently? Actually, he probably doesn't even remember who Farage is.

Or us

That's for people like CT

When has he ever been wrong before?

Maintaining our strong bargaining position with the EU here.

Ask any offended people if they're attending and then get all offended if they aren't.

Presumably on the basis he never thought anyone would be daft enough to give him a job negotiating with the EU

Even allowing for that it was fucking stupid, i.e. pissing everyone else off who'd have a say in an deal he would try and broker.
