Don't peak too early, mate! 😄

For reasons I cannot completely explain, I'm a lot less nervous about tonight than I was about Sunday. Perhaps I've already given up, or is it that I'm supremely confident?! I think maybe it's just that getting to this point, all level, everything to play for, is so, so much more than I...

Bugger, he's already beaten me to it!

We can't be talking about logistics until... a) We've got there. b) We've got our own rail baron, @Otis , on board. 😁

I love that the Tory right wing has now banded together under the "National Conservatives" banner. Or "NatC", in short. Reminds me so much of that classic line in The Producers "Springtime for Hitler". 'Don't be stupid, be a smartie, Come and join the NatC Party' It would be funny if it...

I'm with you on almost all of this mate. However I think the Tories do have a strategy: low taxation, deregulation, privatisation, reduced workers rights, shredded welfare state. What worries me is the complete lack of a coherent alternative to this from the Labour party.

BBC says: "Luton bring on Allan Campbell for Jordan Clark, who gets a rousing reception for his efforts from the 9,000 Luton fans in the ground." OK, I'll confess, that had me confused for a moment. I should pay more attention. :D

Do a good job on the spuds, son, and next year I might promote you onto the apples. I'll just say this - Tories love market forces except when it means they can't pay people peanuts to do their shit jobs for them. Prison labour, child labour, immigration (short or long term), or better pay...

I have the same issue with slow flow. I put it down to old age. I'm not sure if a steward could help but it sounds more interesting than drinking cranberry juice. 😄

I don't mind the first one, it's got a happy ending, it's the sequel "SISU Strikes Back" that's got me worried...

At home. Curtains closed, phone off, doorbell disconnected. Will duct tape hold the kids to a wall for 2/3 hours? Asking for a friend. 😁

Hell yes. Remember it like yesterday, stood behind the goal, two thirds of the way up, amazing view. Then Clive Allen scored and I remember thinking, "We're going to get spanked 5-0!". It was probably the first season when I followed us home and away religiously. The bastards, I thought every...

I appreciate you're offering it as an opinion rather than fact, which is fair enough, but it's a fairly solidly put together study. Let's say you're right though, even then the cohort that *might* leave would presumably be those newly claiming non-dom status from 2017 onwards. I don't know how...

Nuts to banners, bring back rattles, that's what I say.... 😁

Actually this independent study suggests completely the opposite with regard to non-dom tax status. In broad brush terms, it suggests that non-dom status costs us plenty of revenue (3.2 billion p.a.), and there's no evidence to suggest that removing it would lead to anything like the exodus...

Given how utterly bloody useless it's been for us, I'm voting for the Maginot Line.

Well, we're not out of it at least...

Yeah, it feels like we're relying on a bit of magic from Vik rather too much...

Where's the press? Are we hoping they'll just tire themselves out?

Hopefully we'll wake up when they score.
