If he can win the US open from Tokyo then he'll be like a wizard or something.

Southgate tried to shut up shop after being one nil up. Why bring Henderson on ahead of Grealish? They sat back too much and didn't go for it. If they go 2 up they win that match. I don't think you need to be harsh on Southgate, he did a great job and is the man to take them forward but you can stil...

Mark James

For as much as I've been praising Southgate he cost England tonight. Far too negative. One nil up and never went for that second goal. Even Chielini, a centre half, was on the overlap in the last few minutes of extra time trying to win the game for Italy. Grealish not coming on until as late he did ...

I don’t think you’re grasping the concept of a necessary evil here, Mark. Ideally , you wouldn’t need any public services as fires, ill health, crime wouldn’t exist. Yes. That was my point exactly. You were the one who said "ideally, we, on an individual level, would manage the risks and make ...

Mark James

England definitely the better team on the night and deserved to go through. I'd be more upset at the ref not blowing up for the two balls on the pitch considering he did when it happened again later in the match. I thought the ref should have had a look himself at the screen before making the final ...

Mark James

Shocking decision. Two balls on the pitch and a blatant dive.

Mark James

As far as tonight's Euro semi final goes and who to support it's time for the Irish to forget the past and take a more grown up attitude to cheering on our old enemy. Let's face it there's no point in continuing to hold on to these historical grudges nowadays. It's time to let bygones be bygones and...

Once again the media have hyped themselves up so much that any sort of loss for England between now and Sunday will be hilarious. Rio Ferdinand in particular is so insufferably convinced I'm especially looking forward to his reaction should they fail.

Mark James

Are England that good or are the rest of Europe mediocre? It's all relative. England have a very decent squad but there's been an element of luck in others being affected by injury (Belgium) and in-fighting (France). None of the teams left in the tournament are close to the level of Spain in 2012 o...

It was series 24 and when they got rid of Angus. It must be 2002.

They showed a clip on the 2002 episode that was from 1995.

I was shouting for England at the last World Cup when they had that kind of underdog tag and there was no expectations.

It's around this time my Irish heritage wants England to lose in some hilarious fashion. At least you've no one as loathsome as Steven Gerrard in the team where I hope they slip or score an og, and you haven't been drawn against a minnow like Iceland but a peno shoot out loss to the Germans will suf...

I believe in a hand up, not a hand out. What do you mean by this (in particular, what do you mean by a hand up)? Genuinely interested. Social security programs should not just be quote-unquote "free money", they should be helping people back into financial self-sustainability. Therefore, ...

True. What it will actually take is properly funding education and social programmes through taxation and increasing wealth redistribution. You're for that right?

Mobile numbers in Ireland are usually xxx xxx xxxx. Although I think my one is easiest if you do xxx xx xx xxx. Basically every mobile number starts 08x with that x determined by your provider.

I've always understood it as a response to where babies come from questions without necessarily being prompted by witnessing actual copulation and the bees pollinating flowers is supposed to be an easy to understand explanation of fertilisation with an observable example.

No. They made the report to affirm a preordained stance that Britain is not institutionally racist and they did so with cherry picked data as well as a misunderstanding and frankly strawmanning concept of what systemic racism is.

Another problem with time travel is that while you are off gallivanting through time you continue to age while everyone else in the "present" will stay the same. I'm also imagining someone who had a time machine in 2019 who decided to travel forward to find the results of Euro 2020 to bet ...
