At least we can get rid of our revolving door of idiots and NPCs in government every so often! 😂 Looking at all of the major economies in Europe, they’re all suffering from more or less the same issues; low growth, high tax burden, high immigration, increased crime, housing shortages and...

How? Trump wasn’t favourite to win the Republican nominee and all the Republican candidates were dog piling on him and his record in government… Until the lawfare against him. All the republicans then backed Trump publicly, it undermines their own campaigns and Trump stormed to victory in the...

It’s the usual suspects making the same tired arguments when they can’t get a ticket for oversubscribed games. Tough luck. If you don’t want to spend £150-200+ a month supporting the team up and down the country, that’s fine. Just don’t cry about it when you’re not at the front of the queue for...

I’ll definitely give that a read, looks v interesting. As for the case of 5-3-2x I don’t see how dropping Saka and EMC to play Binks/Lati and Simms is the answer for me. Neither MVE or Bidwell/JDS are good enough as creators and I don’t think the defence is that much stronger. Against...

I can seriously see Leeds dropping out of automatics now. Especially if Burnley beat us on the weekend. It would be hilarious for Leeds to bottle it again. Hopefully that would break them psychologically should we play them again.

A lot of the teams around us need to play one another so there will be plenty of weeks where teams around us will drop points. The 6 pointers are WBA and Boro. As long as we don’t lose them games, we should be fine provided we win elsewhere.

Why? Our opponents away from home are: Plymouth, Hull and Luton. I don’t think playing 5 at the back would’ve made a difference v Sheff U. We conceded a fantastic goal from a FK against a team that thrives on countering, the primary issue for me was that we didn’t create chances to score. The...

There’s been games this year where you’d have struggled to give tickets away, let alone sell them on just to claim points. I don’t deny there will be occasions where people on high points tallies will sort family/friends out, but by and large, you won’t get to 1600+ unless you put in the miles...

Any idea how many tickets are available?

Generally, the Prem is only interesting if you’re chasing the title, Europe or survival. Anything in between is meh. Despite that, I still want us to get up there.

Why are UK parliamentarians campaigning for airports in another country? It’s utterly ridiculous.

In fairness, the government is planning to legislate against this. The sentencing council is another quango that needs to be heaped onto the pyre. It’s genuinely concerning that an unelected quango had the temerity to ignore a sitting PMs demand.

Agreed that we looked toothless but the suggestion Sheff U should’ve ‘realistically had 5’ is ridiculous. Their xG was 1.64. 2 good chances and they took them plus Hamer’s FK. They’re not a team you want to go 1-0 down against because Sheff U are happy being out of possession. The wider...

I don’t think we did an awful lot wrong last night, we went 1-0 down to a screamer and it’s v difficult to comeback from that. They’re both pretty rubbish goalkeepers. Dovin will probably be back for the next game and after Burnley, we play teams mostly in relegation battle so they are games...

Collins playing was inconsequential to the result of the game, why are you obsessing over this?

I was in Barcelona last night and seen a random local-looking person running in a Cov shirt. We’ve officially gone global.

Then just increase income tax/capital gains, which imo is also a bad idea. With wealth taxes, you’re taxing something intangible because ‘wealth’ is unrealised. For example, how would homeowners cope if they were taxed on their property ? It also does not consider things like stocks and shares...

Wealth taxes are not a new idea and haven’t raised the sums expected wherever they’ve been implemented. Labour were elected in 1970s to introduce a wealth tax and backed out because it’s administratively difficult and politically poisonous. It almost definitely will not raise the oft quoted...

That isn’t how the real world works. The first priority should be keeping inflation in check because that’s the biggest tax on people and businesses. Which often means controlling government spending…

You’re easy to please. Half of those things haven’t been implemented and the public sector unions are already grumbling for pay increases linked to inflation which isn’t sustainable.
