In bed with my girlfriend, I whispered "how would you like my ring on your finger?" "Yes, of course I'll marry you," she beamed. Nice girl, but she doesn't know much about foreplay.

It doesn't even need a heavy challenge. J Rod and Frazer Forster both wrecked their acl without anyone touching them. Wilshere is a good player, no doubt about that, but he's so injury prone that you can't help wondering if that's why arsenal wanted to farm him out on loan.

I maintain the view that immigration was not a major factor in the referendum vote. Nobody I've spoken with has cited that as a decisive issue for them. Most people I know have basically said that the reason for voting leave was the seemingly inexorable path to full European integration, with all that would have entailed.

Germany aren't in a minority of one. Since the economic crisis and the emergency loans they bailed out other eurozone countries, Greece, spain, Portugal and Ireland will go along with whatever the Germans tell them to. The "bailout" money has put them so far in hock to the Germans that they'll have very little say. I've said all along that the eurozone was a recipe for disaster, and personally I don't believe that the fear of immigration into the UK was the main reason the electorate voted to leave the EU. A lot was made in the press about it, but I think it was massively overplayed as an issue in voters decisions.

I agree, but the EU countries must be aware that we are worth more to them than they are to us. Tariffs aren't in anyones interests, but the EU would be losing more by imposing them on us than we would by imposing similar tariffs on them. In any case, I suspect that the project is likely to unravel over the next few years anyway, certainly once the first eurozone member leaves the single currency which has been doomed from the start.

What would stop us from sticking on tariffs here? We buy more from eu countries than we sell to them.

If she did, she's never mentioned it.

That's actually a really good point. We seem to be more keen to tie key players down to longer term contracts rather than bring in loanees.

As in steve "interesting" davis?

Most of the regular posters on here are usually grateful for snippets of inside info. Keep them flowing, and ignore the cynics.

It always takes steve grant ages to finally look at his fiver-stuffed bank account and update you. I'll pm him for you.

Didn't Obama comment on the brexit referendum before it took place? I realise that's not quite the same as an election, but it's pretty close.

Kermit, if you're expecting that from roger, you are knocking on the wrong door.

You clearly don't understand the game. Any player can improve his performance if you pay him more money. The more cash they get the harder they try and the better they become. It's simple logic, if we double their wages they'll try twice as hard and perform twice as well.

Sweet left foot

I don't understand much of this, but it made me laugh. Whatever mallagroth is smoking, I'll have some.

Tbh, there have been seasons when I haven't known who the first choice keeper was.

Very neatly done, sir.

Do I spy a fellow Viz reader?

One of William S Burroughs early autobiographical novels was titled Queer. I've also heard gay men refer to themselves or each other as queer. Perhaps it's only a term of abuse if someone straight is using it.

That one irritates me as well. Not least because it always reminds me that the wife never bothers to.

That's a bit harsh. I'm not privy to what happened when he moved, but unlike the others that season he didn't appear to have been angling for it.

I suppose I could just about scrape by on that, if I cut back on my weekly shopping trip at Lidl.
