    I was just about to comment on the Rooney corner. Why are we using our strikers to take the corners. First half and last game it was Kane.

    If my voting papers get to me in time - I shall be voting 'Remain in'. However I am shocked by a lot of British locals here who are not bothered. After all any one living in the EU outside the UK, are only entitled to be here as an EU Citizen with an EU Passport. Depending how negotiations go...

    Because the origins of the EU were set up in 1951 to help prevent another war between Germany & France, bearing in mind the 2nd World War finished 6 years previous & the 1st World War was only 32 years previous...

    How can France claim to be on high alert? Maybe the Police are only looking for people with thick belts, large rucksacks or bulging trousers.

    After speaking to an English friend of mine over here he agreed with me that not everything is right in the EU. For example the EU expanded too fast in the 2000's, we let in too many weak countries at once, putting a strain on the budgets, but as a rich country we are expected to help bring...

    And hopefully the UK government is working to fill the loop holes, especially as Mike Ashley got a grilling last week. However would a UK Government back in 1997 implemented those working conditions with out the EU. Probably not, as they would have said most (not all) pay holiday pay, Maternity...

    Some of the positives a lot of people are not aware of which benefits the working man not the company owners: Paid Holiday (& Bank Holiday) Leave - prior to 1997 this was voluntary.

    Prior to early 70's we had a different country and Industry to today. Most large UK companies only dealt with UK customers. Hence why we joined the EU, to get into that market. For example you wouldn't have found many British Cars outside the UK, most French cars would only be found in France...
