You’re right. The younger population are obsessed with their phones. I realised it first when one of my daughters went away with her boyfriend on their first holiday. They’d been away together for a week, maybe a fortnight, so when she got home my wife (her mother) and me expected her to enthusiastically tell us what type of time she had, what sorts of things she did (excluding the sex obviously), whether she enjoyed herself, how things were with Arsenal (she’s a committed fan) and so on.

But no, she ignored us. She was permanently on her bloody mobile. We asked her what she was doing and she said texting her boyfriend, who she’d just been in constant contact with for over a sodding week on holiday. Sums things up.

True but I'm struggling to think of an alternative.
If he'd been granted more caps he wouldn't have let England down.

PS belated apology for questioning your honesty regarding Xhaka. I was in the wrong there.

Brom, Tommy Caton?

Didn't think of him Andy - not sure I remember him being capped though - might be wrong. He just preceded Adams and Keown at Arsenal didn't he? Remember him partnering O'Leary.

Ignore me...according to Wiki he didn't play for senior team. Blame it on my advancing years.

One cap versus Italy, while he was an Arsenal player.

Seems Martinez is liking Emery Out posts on Instagram. As if we needed any further proof he’s lost the dressing room.

Ok boomer

Now that does put a new slant on peculiar ...... an Al Gore factor .... Mam Mia

...There were no arsenal players in the 66 squad..

George Eastham, one of our finest midfielders.

because she doesn't want to go to war with every other country on the planet or because she is a Russian asset

Got to be honest I'm incredibly shocked that a teenager* would prefer to talk to her boyfriend than her parents.

Actually all the comments (not just here) about kids on the internet/whatever are exactly the same as what my Ma used to say to us when we were young about being on the phone to friends I'd seen that day.

I work with children - oops, sorry, 'young people' - and can confirm to the forum that they are a massive pain in the arse.

Hob nobbing with Putin is not a good look.

Glad you corrected yourself there Brom ...... calling them children wouldn't have done at all .

My daughter works at a Poly Tech ; last week after recieving some help from three women ; she sent them an encompassing e mail

Thank You Ladies blah blah.... one of them took exception to the word lady and reported her .

She got a dressing down , told she should have used some neutral gender term .

Why not " hob nob " with Putin , the Russian economy is trundling along quite nicely and I'd venture Vladmir has more brains cells than Macron , Johnson , Merkel and Trump put together .

Always ready to help Gunfire ... if you look around you'll find CNN and the BBC aren't the only news sources in town ..broaden your horizons ....you might help shed the blinkers

Lot of speculation about our our players leaving in January. Torreira and Xhaka to Italy. Aubameyang to Spain etc

Wonder if we will see some movement

He also kills political opponents and journalists who oppose him and blows airliners full of innocent people out of the sky.

What a great guy

Yep once stood back to allow a woman to enter a lift before me -?”don’t patronise me”. I didn’t have a comeback at the time.

"Happiness is when you are satisfied with yourself and do not need the confirmation of others," he wrote.

Guess who wrote this?

Prince Andrew ?

Yes, Kiwi, he's smart in a bond villain sort of way. But apart from that, which new sources are you looking at?

RT obviously (and who can blame them). I know the republicans are going along with whatever Trump says so perhaps Fox is softening on Putin?

But amongst News outlets that actually report news and do fact checking, which are saying that Putin is a good guy and that the Russian economy is doing fine?
