    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's not about telling them their living standards are about to fall, it's about highlighting that a select few are seeing huge increases to their living standards whilst the vast majority are not. I don't want a country preserved in aspic either. There's a load of stuff I want to change to...

    No, they are U21 regulars. An U21 team that this season is languishing very near the bottom of their league.

    Does seem a bit weird he's complaining about squad now but just accepted it under SISU. Of course we didn't have the windfalls of big money sales and he didn't have the same pressures to succeed at the time, but I'd say this is as good as it's ever been almost. Who'd have thought we'd spend £9m...

    I think it's more him feeling he has to be more attacking and try shots. He scores at a decent enough rate when he just plays sensibly, and he needs to get back to that. Ignore all the nonsense about quick scoring and flashy shots.

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    As I mentioned about whether promotion would enable us to win the FA Cup, but the same degree could winning the FA Cup hamper our promotion chances, if it's a binary choice of promotion OR FA Cup? People are saying they'd like to see us in Europe (yes, it'd be great) but could we deal with the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I know all the options are shit, it's just Grendel seems to think that make a deal, Putin goes away and everyone lives happily ever after. No more war and death. I'm just pointing out it's bollocks. He would come back again. Conceding anything to him will just embolden him to go further.

    Play our good players, but somehow have a stinker and end up losing. It's Preston.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    An agreement that will be broken in two-three years as Putin wades in again.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yep. Ludicrous. This was a number of years ago, but they did it with my nan. Starting wanting monthly DD's that were almost equivalent to six months actual usage. Ended up hundreds of pounds in credit. We tried to get them to change it and in the end my mum, who worked in a bank, just went and...

    But then you could say the top PL academies are probably at a higher standard than most league teams, yet their U21's routinely get beaten by lower league team in the JPT or whatever it's called now. They might be pro footballers but they'll be playing against men. That physicality will be a...

    It's what really pisses me off about the energy price cap. They keep on claiming they need to put it up because their unit costs are going up, then they make huge profits like this. If your unit price was going up then your profitability would be roughly stable. As for the bullshit about every...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We've discussed this before. Growth is, by its very nature, unsustainable and a fools errand.. All the time needing ever higher populations, land and resources that are finite being used faster and faster. Just a recipe for war over territory and resources until it implodes spectacularly. It's...

    Wouldn't surprise me to see if his poll ratings haven't gone up. Especially among Rep's.

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    But would promotion give us a better chance of winning the cup in future?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Why would people care that much about a by-election that is likely a few months before a full GE? However, I do think the overall feeling from them rings true. Labour not really gaining support, just the Tories losing it. That's why, although I think Labour will win the election it won't be...

    I think he may have missed the point as to WHY there was a financial crisis. People doing stupid, unsustainable things to inflate an economy beyond what is actually feasible.

    Is this Marc McNulty?

    Rather that than Godden. He can't finish anything off at the moment.
