Woody, in terms of his behaviour, what are you referring to? He's been overweight and hasn't gotten himself into shape - that's unprofessional, but you seem to be referring to something altogether different in terms of behaviour - what is it you're thinking of?

The Spanish are getting frustrated with this referee - England could be down to nine men.

I'll have a look at it again at half time as it does appear to be just me.

I think he was unfortunate enough to be on the ground near enough for Vardy to get to him. In the end, it's not the keeper sliding into the player, it's the player running at a stationary, prone keeper and away from the ball.

The keeper had stopped coming. Vardy puts the ball to the keepers left and then has to change direction and head toward the keeper in order to fall over him. I'm amazed no one in the commentary team said so. If I was Spain I'd be fuming.

Great ball, Vardy lays it off to the right, immediately changes direction 90 degrees to the left and has to take two or three steps before he eventually finds a keeper to fall over. Should be a booking for the striker in my opinion.

That is a disgraceful dive.

Unfortunately, our actual media would appear to also contain all of the failings attributed to social media. In a way, I think the reason that neither social media, nor our actual media seems to be much of a barometer on voter intentions is more to do with the public not believing either (or anything) than it does on believing what is reflected back to them, either by social media algorithm or private interest formal media. In a world where you can't believe anything the papers or the TV tell you, and social media reinforces what you already think you know, then facts become less and less important - once you get to there, you vote for the simplest character - you get Trump. There's something in the current 'fake news' furore that smacks to me of 'you'll take your news through our filters or not at all'.

Did alright for 88 minutes in a very good game that it looks like we're going to lose 3-2.

Starting for England U21's tonight against France. That'll be a good test for the boy.

I think if you also give the people the information needed to make informed decisions they can be effective - in the case of Brexit, the absolute opposite occurred, with each side actively obscuring any sort of fact or information that might allow the voter to understand that this was a complicated, layered decision based on a multitude of factors and outcomes and instead concentrating on claiming that all Germans are fat or somesuch. Which issues should be the subject of referendums (referenda?) is odd - how Brexit ends up being a referendum and Trident doesn't for example - who makes these decisions, on what basis and under what rules and conditions should be much clearer if they're going to be used - sadly though, in an age where politics is no longer conducted on the basis of an informed electorate, that still won't matter a jot.

I'm always amused by the idea that we've struck out against the ruling elites by taking our politicians (who had become nothing more than puppets for bankers and big corporate interest) and replacing them directly with actual bankers with corporate interests. We've gone out of our way to upset the elites by getting rid of anything that might make control more difficult for them.

I think Westwood, Gardner and quite probably from what I've seen of him thus far Tshibola are all defensive midfielders - they're all players that like the game in front of them, like to sit quite deep and play just in front of the back four. That might be a little harsh on Tshibola. In terms of a replacement for Jedinak, for me the choice is whether you play two of those three, all of them, or two plus Bacuna. I don't see any reason to bring a CB into the position.

The Dow Jones closed at an all time high today. I think that tells us something about both what Trumps likely path is and what the markets truly are.

I don't think he's what we need. We need legs. A player with a huge engine. Joey isn't that anymore, he's a lot like a Jedinak, or a Gardner, or a Westwood maybe - I don't think more of what we have helps us as much as a little of what we don't have.

And for more celebrity nonsense - get you money on Michelle Obama for 46th President today while the odds are still good.

Stefan, where are those numbers from - are they exit polls? It seems exit polls didn't do so well.

Today. You have to hand it to the evil corporate bumholes don't you. Out of interest, do we know who sent that one to the Lords? Backdoor privatisation on the best news hiding day in years - it's unbelievably cynical.

The voter demographic will be interesting, who did and didn't actually vote for Trump will be fascinating. Apparently just over 49% of Americans didn't vote at all.

I've been thinking about the attraction of Trump for voters and I guess there are a few things that come to mind - first the idea that the world is complicated and confusing, the news is distressing and hard to understand - Trump bashes through that, tells you the world is simple for him and that he'll fix it. There's a comfort in that as long as you don't listen too hard to the words - and even if you do, there's a feeling that they all lie and that this guy will make mistakes but he'll be moving forward. A manager of mine once said people that get things done are more important than people who get things right, and Trump definitely gives you the impression that he'll make things happen, even if some of them are mistakes - in a complicated world, where no one can do anything, that makes him reassuringly simple. He's also got the modern US father figure going for him, he's Homer Simpson, he's Peter Griffin - sure he's oafish, he's clumsy and he doesn't always say the right thing, but he's always doing something and his heart's in the right place. That's the lesson from TV, so it must be true right? He's an odd figure, he's won a political contest almost entirely by not being a politician, or even more pointedly by being a bad politician - I think he fools people into thinking that if he's dumb enough to say that dumb thing out loud because he's honest, then when he says that other thing, we can trust him really because he just can't help but tell the truth, not like the others. Hillary is kinda shifty in comparison, she might be doing something good, she might not, she ain't gonna explain it to you. That's as good as I got and for me it's not enough - the US must be a strange, strange place.

Welcome to a post fact Democracy where a deliberately confused, misinformed, ignorant electorate votes for whoever shouts the simplest message loudest, even when they know it's not true.

24-3 to the Donald - that's okay right? Early doors and all that yeah?

Business as usual.

Wasn't that Gaddafi's idea?

In terms of what's out there and blends the modern and traditional brick, the Lucas Oil Stadium is fantastic. That Mercedes one is completely soulless - it's a shopping mall with 60,000 seats. Villa Park is a brick building, we're a club with a Victorian history, it's a special one - we can't jettison that, it would be a dreadful mistake. Architecturally I think we need to take our cues from the local area, from our history and from our values - all of those say brick to me.
