    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Possibly. But you've picked a small group that have good pay due to a hardline union. Ask many other sectors, unionised or otherwise, if they have as good a deal as pensioners and the answer is no. I could say pensioners are an easier target than billionaires and friends of ministers with...

    Sorry to hear about the really rough time you've been having. Look after yourself and hopefully we can all celebrate a win tonight. I do think we'll make a lot of changes though.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Pensioners are never an easy political target. If there's one group you can expect lots to vote and complain when they don't get what they want it's pensioners. How many other parts of the welfare budget have maintained their value compared to the pension? You don't get a triple lock on child...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Because they're linked to fossil fuel cost. And energy companies look for every opportunity to fleece consumers so they can have bigger dividends for shareholders. Price of oil etc goes down it takes a while for that to pass through because 'companies are still using up fuel bought at the higher...

    Wilson MvE Thomas Kitching Dasilva Eccles Palmer Allen EMC Bertie BTA Dovin, Bidwell, Binks, Lati, Torp, Rudoni, Wright, Saka, Simms Give the current back-ups a chance to impress and have the first team fresh for Norwich. Would love to have a proper alternative for MvE to rest him too.

    Coventry City lose top youngster as Manchester City swoop in

    Yeah it does, but I meant for other things like payment if they play first team games. Get more if PL, less if its League or FA Cup etc.

    Coventry City lose top youngster as Manchester City swoop in

    I've no problems with young lads accepting the moves for their own potential progression. What I have a problem with is the relative pittance these clubs pay to bring them in and on a lot of them will make a profit purely because they're a 'Man City etc. academy product'. There definitely...

    I wonder if the Sheikh got bored would he find it hard to get anyone to take over? Having those charges sitting in the background can't help getting a good deal.

    Why? He had a purple patch that it was unlikely he would've maintained here and chances are he would have dropped out of contention at some point anyway. Only he'd have earned less money doing so. Or would you have preferred it being us wasting money paying him a high wage to be shit or not play?

    Cricket 2024

    Thing is with a Hundred match with both men and women that's a potential of 400 deliveries. A single T20 has a maximum total of 240. So if you truly expect spectators to watch both then youngsters would have to stay focused for a lot longer with the Hundred. Which says the don't actually rate...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    I think it's more wondering how it affects the budget when we've got more pressing squad needs. I'm hoping that it shows there is still money available to fill this quite obvious holes, but I can't blame people for wondering if we've pulled the trigger on this as it became a goer and the long...
