I think everyone just kind of ignored cos they just thought "yeah, right! Heard that before."

If you're going to do that, just stop the clock. Makes it far more accountable as you can see exactly whats happening. Even if they play 14mins injury time it might not be accurate.

I agree, but the problem is that you rarely get someone who is affiliated in some way to political parties or individuals. So often you get people that you can kind of second guess what their plan of action will be, even though they're supposedly independent. For example, we could have a load...

I'd like to think MA's well aware of this, but didn't he say he got blindsided with a huge amount of debt at Newcastle he had no idea existed, even though he did due diligence?

For me it'd have the feel of our L1 winning season that got cancelled. I'd be dead pleased we won it, but it'd feel tainted.

I was wondering if a team might do a Romania and all come out with rainbow-coloured hair. I would.

The issue I have with UBI is that as everyone will get it, greedy businesses will know everyone's income has gone up by £x and will put up their prices accordingly, so you just end up in the same place as before but with a hike in inflation. Housing especially would be the biggest problem. Both...

Reply box fucked for me as well. Tried using Firefox and Chrome

I sort of depends on the level of wealth. Having enough to be comfortable - a roof over your head, food on your table and no need to stress about the future are all fine. And for that you'd actually need a decent amount of money. It's when you get into big luxuries and mistreating others that I...

Well if it's the only practical solution then isn't is about time it started actually working? Capitalism only has a chance of working if everyone is on equal footing, so all of the arguments about price competition etc can apply as no-one can unduly influence the process with their own higher...

I'm very much in the increasing public spending and investment, especially on infrastructure, during tough times and recession, as a means of creating stimulus as people have jobs and can use that to create demand elsewhere and thus more jobs. Plus there's fewer people on benefits etc so you can...

Got the distinct impression that they're effectively assuming they'll lose the next election so make it so all the shit stuff happens after that and they can say "Labour's fault". Of course Labour can change the plan, but in reality no matter what anyone does it's going to be pretty bad. So if...

Got through the thread and still pretty much none the wiser. Instincts tell me something isn't quite right though so I'm definitely not celebrating yet and preparing myself for this to be another shitshow. Maybe it's just a lifetime of being a Cov fan that that's my default position and I'd...

Bit dangerous given how we've played for large sections of our history and how we react to stuff. Just have people slitting their wrists at 3:02pm first day of the season cos we're not 5-0 up

Given the state of Mike Ashley the last thing anyone wants is him following through!

That's what I wanted but nothing came up :(

Just to state my position on events of the last few hours. I've no idea what's going on. I've never heard of Doug King. (When I heard about someone called King buying us out of nowhere I expected it to be a guy called Joe and for it to have been exclusively revealed by Greggs. I have no idea how...

This thread is gonna take some wading through.

Do I trust Zelensky? Not entirely, no. He has a war to fight and part of that will be misinformation and propaganda to try and get support. Do I trust him more than Nigel Farage?

But arguably a less attractive proposition to signings if we've sold some of our star players. Or if the sign on the promise they won't be sold and then are, we've got some disgruntled players in the squad. I kind of feel like this year could have been our opportunity. We've already had a...
