Euro 2016

I read that the FA is 'unsettled' by Roy Hodgson's team choice against Slovakia, where England dominated the game but failed to score.  The media decided this was a good excuse to fill countless inches of space decrying his decision, so I'm not too sure if this report is kosher, or just another exercise in manager knocking that we tend to go in for in the UK.  Whatever it is, reast assured that a bad result on Monday will not go unnoticed.

The EU election is tomorrow, so this is the last day the politicians and anyone else with a strong view get to advise us where to put our cross.   In the Guardian, John Barnes wades in with a swipe at Nigel Farage, although most of the population under 45 will never have heard of him (John Barnes, that is).
My own voting whim has swung around a little, starting off as a dedicated Europhile, moving across the border to slightly Eurosceptic, but eventually (as of today) back on the remain side of the fence.
I intend to vote tomorrow, and await the result with interest.  I predict a majority will want to remain, and probably be about a 60/40 split.  But we will see if my total guess turns our correct.
