    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Ian Hislop said as much on HIGNFY. Basically keep on saying it's too early to talk about until all the evidence is in. Gray report published/criminal report published, then when once that's done they say why do people keep bringing all this stuff up from so long ago and no-one cares anyomore so...

    Student loan interest - an absolute disgrace

    Personally, I think we need to think of all forms of higher education as equal, whereas at the moment it is very much perceived as university and degrees as being superior. Vocational things need to be thought of as just as worthwhile. In terms of paying, interest definitely needs to be...

    Student loan interest - an absolute disgrace

    Thank you for mentioning the link to CPI. Also a bit surprised (well, actually not really) that the debt is considered in mortgage applications etc as it states that student loans will not be considered against your credit score. But I guess that's not the same as a financial institution doing...

    Not a fan of the zonal system. If I saw the opposition were zonal marking I'd just make sure I got two or three players attacking one zone and aim the corner there.

    No real surprises unchanged. Bench has more experience but just how fit will they be? Fully expect few subs (if any) and for them to be made very, very late.

    And who's to say we won't loan others in to replace JCS and Maatsen? I have a feeling next year we may have a few more loans in than this in order to be able to sign better quality permanently. Not ideal, but a better option than a really small squad and no loanees.

    This Summer

    It is an assumption (and a big one) but the argument was that we'd be worse off if these left and we bought in half the number of players because our small squad would be even smaller. I was just pointing out that as these lot never play anyway and are unavailable because they're out on loan any...

    MR will not bring Jones onto the pitch 100%

    This Summer

    But if you take out those like Hillsner, Dacosta, Walker, Pask who should be members of the first team squad but are nowhere near and replace them with two who actually are then overall we've gained because we've now got 2 players who will be able to come in rather than 4 who the manager won't...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well, we'll have to wait and see but the main point in that is LOCAL. They don't actually mean very much in terms of changing policy. Each council are hamstrung by decisions taken at a national level and many councils going Labour would just lead to a Tory govt slashing council funding and...

    Student loan interest - an absolute disgrace

    I agree to an extent, but more needs to be done in the education sector (and in employment) to make sure that those jobs that are important but don't attract people to them do. I know the market is supposed to do that but it doesn't appear to be working particularly well.
