Seriously the contempt for England team on this station is shocking listening to this ...

I am currently studying the old injuries of David Beckham

I heard a person got arrested threatening Nigel Farage. I immediately thought of James. I am relieved to find it wasn't James himself and was instead just one of his listeners.

Nana 🐝 here from 🇨🇦. So glad I discovered your channel. Great insight into England and your lives and frustrations and politics. Yes, I watched that game. Very exciting. Disappointed for your team. Some fab players who just never give up. The bloke who thinks he can do a better job exists in every country. Funny to listen to the bravado.

Can anyone clarify?

Those still flying the st George flag now are they far right

JOB is in danger of alienating many of his more thoughtful listeners if he describes people who are not obsessed by football as ‘boring’.

My daughter has been on all the job centre courses. Job interviews but because she has moderate learning disabilities dyslexic, dysplaxiac and dyscalculic, socially phobic and would need 1-1 support if given a job has never been given the chance to work since 2010 by employers when she left school.
Now her son is 9yrs Autistic, Learning Disabilities but already only at reception class due to developmental delay and not ready to be in Year 5 in September, when he is already 5 years behind his peers educational level. He has more complex issues and I dread how he will be even more passed over when he falls even further behind.
But I hope boxing may have the much needed support for him to build his confidence and give him the positivity and mentorship he fails to get in mainstream school. Because it is not the right place for him.

When England defeated West Germany in the 1966 final (and I was there), you could have gone to Wembley Stadium on the morning of the match and buy (for 12/6) a ticket for the match. You needed to be a football fan to be a football fan in those days.

Somewhere in Scotland the end of Argentine match was accompanied by several volleys of fireworks - maybe 20 minutes worth.
@
I always watch this the day after, why was the music cut in mystery hour?
@
I think what has changed is that the country is so divided that all getting together for the football, well, brought us together.
@
It's only a game FFS.
And England never wins anyway. So what's the big deal.
@
There's something crazy about this final. The final will be aired on 19 July. Yamal is 19 and wears the No. 19 shirt, just like Messi did at Barcelona 19 years ago, when he was photographed holding a 5-month-old Yamal. Now Messi wears the No. 10 shirt, but if you put the 1 and 9 together, it looks like 19. This will be the first game they've played against each other. What a coincidence!

How could the system be fixed? Tax the billionaires, and ban AI.

major focus is the hot fans now

Ah "records" and when albums were called LPs and 45s were singles.
Takes me back.......
To the days when I still had my own knees and had never even heard of an enlarged prostate.🤔🤔🤔😉

Apparently they don't call them records any more, they call them vinyls. Proof I'm effing old when they change the word for something from the whole of the last century.
