    Max Biamou the club legend

    That made me chuckle more than it should. At least you could rely on Pat to deliver.

    Some good/better news

    It does seem like an incredibly high number, but there are ways that it could show that. Ex-PL could be a lot of things. Lads that came through an academy or spent one season there on more of a Champ wage. Then, as has been highlighted, the drop in earnings can be massive. They can go to...

    Ironically, she's probably not getting half the shit she should do because people are afraid of being accused of being racist. She's an absolute disgrace.

    Do we need a whole new team in the summer?

    It was more that we've got a lot of 16/17 year old playing under 21's, so a fair bit above the level they'd probably be expected to be at that stage. Can't assume that progress will continue but does give a chance that in a couple of years we might have a few academy prospects ready.

    Do we need a whole new team in the summer?

    Trying to be optimistic we've got quite a few first year scholars playing regularly for the U21's already. It's a bit early to get too excited but that does bode well.

    It's also very sneaky, because that's exactly what they're trying to do. Create this idea that it's the fault of the teachers/carers etc. because they don't act on seeing signs of abuse. Not their fault for taking away all the funding for things that actually help reduce abuse and break the...

    Premier League thread

    Yeah. Was watching MotD and was wondering how you can spend so much money on attackers and be almost completely toothless. They look like a bang average side and I can't imagine any team in that league goes into a game massively worried about their attacking threat.

    Do we need a whole new team in the summer?

    The big thing is of course contract expiring in 12 months. I think the club would prefer to only sell one at most, but if they aren't signed up to new contracts by the time pre-season starts, and August at the latest, we can't afford to let assets worth that much leave for free and suitors will...

    Do we need a whole new team in the summer?

    Given where we are right now play-offs in 3-5 seasons is very much incremental progression.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Undoubtedly will be used by the Russian propaganda machine. "We said NATO were looking to put more troops closer to our border. They have. NATO cannot be trusted. We can". Same as they'll use the likes of Finland joining as NATO were always looking to expand.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think it's damned if you do, damned if you don't. I agree with you that we need massively radical change to sort out the shit we're in. Not just economically but environmentally, health, education, public services, housing... the list goes on and on. However, I'm also a realist and know that...

    Not too early to say......

    But if that happens we'll have Prem TV money and so will be able to make a lot more signings. I'm just talking about all things being equal in this division compared to the previous owners.

    Maybe he would. But as you says he (well, Labour) are ahead. That's all they need to be at the end of an election. And that will be good enough for now.

    Sounds very much like 'trying to sell him' to me. And thus supporting Dublin's side of the story. Thing is about after an event, there's this thing called history. After something happens information can come to light that changes how it looks. Amazing how after the event everyone suddenly...

    Irony being that last time the one's who didn't set out their funding plans were the Tories. Yet in that election again the ones that were scrutinised most on their spending and funding plans were Labour. Surely there has to be a time soon when this idea that the Tories are economically...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well, not really because there can be a number of reasons people don't vote. You can argue that it shows a general apathy towards the political process, but that isn't necessarily the entire story. Same as with spoiling a ballot. Can happen for a number of reasons, from a deliberate act of...

    It doesn't excite me either. But the thought of another Tory government with the current lot terrifies me. I'll take not being excited.
