Across the western world, this is the picture, yet we have the lowest pension AND the highest retirement age. Meanwhile, swathes of companies who conduct their business here divert their profits to havens to reduce their tax bill. The two are incompatible: do business in this nation, pay tax in...

Why does Arnold continually overhit the ball?

Angel Gomes' movement was excellent. A central midfielder who actually can give options to the central defence was one of the things England were crying out for.

@slbsn is spot on, IMO. Talksport will have their agenda regardless, and employ a succession of red-shirted sycophants to promote it. Stefan remains a voice of reason in the charade, and the only arguably neutral, objective voice about us in the media, along with Martin Samuel.

Blue and Bess at Crosby.

When you say Hat OR Harris?

For football fans across the nation, a club is guilty until proven guilty, until it is their own club. This is the great danger of playing out proceedings in the public arena. It is worse for us by virtue of our outstanding sporting success.

I'm always cooking and there are some lovely, authentic recipes here straight from India. https://www.youtube.com/@thekitchenn

Indeed. Well said. The benefits are very obvious.

I'm not proud to be British. I am not ashamed of it either. I find it quite difficult to fathom the concept of pride in the nation of birth. My experience living abroad did show me how very real patriotism was.

Of course not. I'd love us to pursue this kind of bollocks, so beloved of our rivals.

I don't even know him; who does he write for?

From Matt Gregory - how the bitterness shines. 11. Manchester City (£139.1m) Yes, really, the megabucks Emirati-backed champions of England aren’t even in the top half of the net spend table, a surprise result facilitated by making the better part of £100m this summer from the sales of players...

This is a strange thread. We've got a player here who was a part of the most successful English team in history. He has played his first game this season, and had a decent performance, and still people are digging him out. Why not support the team AND the players in the team until those players...

Those who often urge others to not get carried away with praise, are often the ones who damn players with criticism early in their tenure with us. An even keel is nearly always best.

His athleticism, along with Gundogan's movement, allowed us to re-establish control. Nunes' pace stopped wingers breaking forward, while Gundogan's effortless finding of space allowed total control of the ball once again. There's a place for this guy. No player has everything, but all contribute...

IMO, Arsenal are an excellent team and will really challenge this season once again. Nevertheless, their repeated willingness to dive is a stain on the game.

Good cameo - well done.

Gareth Barry with pace - a really high-level player.

Such a footballing brain allied to real tenacity. At 19, he could easily become world-class if he continues his current trajectory.
