Does this mean we are heading for a no deal (here's hoping)?

I think the clue is in the name 'Boreham'. I'm so bored with hearing about it I've stopped watching news programs.
I have my opinions and those opinions have stayed the same over the past two or three years, but I won't be discussing them on here.

I agree, Borehamstiff... the news contains lots of opinions, which when scrutinised simply amount to guesswork & it highlights the limitations of divisive party politics.

Having witnessed the pantomime of incompetence at Westminster over the last 2 years, i'm wondering if those who voted for the UK to "take control of our own destiny" are starting to wonder if we are really up to the task..(?)

Still, English clubs are doing okay in the Champions league... I guess they don't plan to exit in April..!

Domestic football is used to a heavy reliance on overseas talent. Would English clubs have been as successful in Europe with a home grown Manager..?

I don't know the answer, but is anything likely to change post-brexit...?

Top of my head British managers have won ten European cups/champions leagues.

Sounds ok until you realise that's in sixty years.

The bigger problem is foreign players in English teams. Even the great Liverpool team of the 70-80s hardly had any players eligible for England.

Interesting that at a time when young players in England national teams, are doing historically well at a global level... those same players are still struggling to make the breakthrough at their Premier League clubs...

...in fact, the most successful by far has been Sancho, mainly because he has been given his chance by a top club... in Germany...!

That's not entirely true...Clemence, Neal, Alan Kennedy, Ray Kennedy, Thompson, Case, Johnson, McDermott, Sammy Lee, Barnes, Beardsley....that enough to be getting on with? I'm sure there's more.

Quite true NRed, my error. In my head the 1984 winning team also became the make up of the other two teams if that era.

1984 had three English players start; Clemance, Neal and Kennedy. The 1979 had something like eight as did the 1980 team.

Barnes and Beardsley were not in those teams.

But had Sammy Lee as well.
