I think people need to grasp that under this new setup a new contract isn’t a reward for good performance or an indicator of being in the managers plans, it’s a decision taken on a spreadsheet to maximise the potential value of the squad.
Just watching this. The amount of point of failure is infuriating. Schools. Social services. Police. I think the entire idea of letting taxi drivers pick up young girls needs looking at and starting to think despite it feeling my a bit draconian there needs to be mandatory punishment for any...
I mean they’re getting a universally bad service. Are we really defending fly tipping to stick it to Labour now? What’s next? Leaving dog turds on pavements is a great British freedom?
I don’t think he does. He doesn’t change direction. He’s heading for the ball. It’s a coming together, there’s no attempt to challenge or trip the player.

I don’t think we’ll get a lot of I just don’t think we’ll have to give much is anything to Brighton. I’ said earlier I’d be surprised if Vik + Sheaf is more than £10m
