Civil service was an option, and this guy was much older than the norm as he’d worked overseas till he was nearly 30. The majority of 18 year olds much prefer the military option. You often see them on trains, excitable groups of uniformed kids off to camp to play soldiers for a couple of weeks.

These are as good a reason as any. I once lived somewhere that had a long narrow path to the front door, more than 100 feet. In local elections the only candidate who could ever be bothered to walk up the path to my front door to talk to me was the Lib Dem, and he got my vote for that reason. It...

I like what they do in Switzerland. They have national service but you can opt to do "civil service" instead where you do community-based activities. A guy I worked with went off to work in some castle museum where he helped to clean up and log archaeological artefacts ready for display. He was...

Based on what, exactly?

No, it’s not the same. Tonali bet on his own team to beat Man City! Something he couldn’t do much about on his own. If he’d bet on him getting a yellow card, that’s totally different.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t but that’s irrelevant. Choosing a new manager isn’t all about ability alone. You have to be the right fit and command respect. What people are reasonably asking is whether a man who walked out on Brighton in mid-season, taking the entire senior coaching staff with...

Very silly boy if guilty. It’s one thing for Toney to place small bets on games he’s not taking part in but conspiracy is quite another thing. To do things on the pitch to deliberately benefit a syndicate is massively serious and will get a life ban, surely. I’d be furious if I was a fan or...

Away fans are unsightly and shouldn’t be encouraged…

Corner seems good to me and means fans will have the choice of a behind-goal or side view. A plus point for us is that it will break up the away fans, reduce the noise a bit and reduce TV presence if on the SW corner. On the negative side, there’ll have to be segregation from home fans so we...

TBF, the war in Ukraine has had a massive economic impact on Europe as a whole by pushing fuel prices through the roof. This government must be held accountable for all sorts of things but it can’t be denied that Ukraine has caused major economic turbulence everywhere. Iraq and Afghanistan have...

Low grade trolling.

Keep up. The LibDems are further to the left and more radical in their thinking than Labour these days. A cynic might say this is because you can afford to be bold and radical when you know you won’t be called upon to implement the policies. Who knows what the various manifestos will come up...

I don’t think anyone is suggesting we spend weeks nagging his agent who refuses to talk to us. A single phone call would clarify his position. Again, I doubt if he’d come here, and certainly not right now. But it’s not ‘delusional' to make an enquiry. It’s being bold and ambitious.

He 'failed' at Chelsea in the sense that a) he was sacked b) he didn’t achieve CL football as was his target, and c) he couldn’t reach an accommodation with the owners over transfer policy. He did indeed finally 'turn around a clueless Chelsea', mainly it seems by having the balls to drop Enzo...

Pochettino has failed at the last 3 'big' clubs he’s been at, and sacked by impatient owners. How many more big clubs are out there willing to take a chance on him? Just as important, surely he wouldn’t mind a break from mad owners and mad fans at clubs who demand everything done yesterday? All...
