Possibly our worst half of the season. Hard to believe that's the same XI that looked so good at the weekend. Hard to believe some of them have ever seen a football before, to be honest. #oufc

Given Lam's appalling comments, the UK government needs to make it free for those with permanent leave to remain to obtain British citizenship, to promote people making the change, and to make it quicker.
They need to do that to remove understandable anxiety.
