Joey was our player - that's the big difference. If Drinkwater wants help, then he can get it at Chelsea. We can't afford to carry passengers, especially ones who are here on loan.

Someone said on this thread that you aren't allowed to laugh at 'certain things' . My comment was rephrasing Stewart Lee's "These days, if you say you're English, you get locked up and thrown in jail" sketch.

FTSE perked up after Johnson lost his majority. That must be a first - markets picking up after a CONSERVATIVE GOVT loses its majority. Then again, what do the markets know about the massive benefits of a no deal, eh? Also what does the CBI know about the benefits of a no deal? Or the farming unions...

Businesses holding off investment and multinationals getting ready to pack their bags. Many medium size businesses, well those that can do so, will do the same and some indeed already have.

How can you tell when someone isn’t excessively over the limit if they don’t provide samples? I'm at a loss as to what you are getting at here, Benny.

Someone nearly wiped me out the other week. They were on the wrong side of the road while jabbering on a mobile phone. The law is too lenient. It should be a three month ban because the current sanction isn't working.

Billy Balfour

Saunders says he only had two pints. So why didn't he comply with the breath test? We know, don't we and so did the judge.

Billy Balfour

While we are on about drink driving. Outright bans should be given to those who have three DD convictions. I'd also give out lifetime bans to those on their second DD offence if they were excessively over the limit.

That's Talkshite for you. Terrible station. It's the pondlife of radio. Say what you want about BBC, but R5 is great. And so is 6Music.

Anyway, I'd have given him the maximum ban and jail term .

That's when a DD isn't excessively over the limit and they cooperate by providing a breath test or blood sample. HTH.

There's no doubt that the second string is the best I've seen in my lifetime. Also their professionalism. Mind you, my first game was the Orient one. The days when a couple of hungover players would be in the team on a Saturday are long gone and I hope they never return.

Billy Balfour

It will be the same as before regarding the squad for the game and you can't really blame our management team when we have higher priorities, though I would love to see us make a good go of the FC Cup.

Billy Balfour

I hope thorough changes are made to the EFL 'fit and proper person' test. In its current state it's not fit for purpose. It's utterly deplorable what's gone on.

One of the richest countries in the world and people have to rely on foodbanks and many of those using the foodbanks are the working poor.

If you ever see signs of rats or their droppings - take the bird food away for a good few weeks. Our kid ignored this advice because, as he put it, it's probably just a single rat feeding at night. I told him there's never a 'single rat', there's always more and they will repeatedly visit any food s...
