I assume you are therefore highly supportive of increasing the international aid and development budget and opening our markets up to competition from nations such as this so they have less desire or need to travel here?

Trouble is a lot of Russia don't see it that way. They see him as having sold Russia down to the river and letting the USA 'win'. They're much more inclined to get behind a despot like Putin. They like strong-arm leaders who exert their control and authority. Which means they get to control the...

That's fine, but in business there has to be investment to improve or you end up failing. If you were still running your business using a Nokia 3210 and Windows 98 on a dial-up modem because you don't want to fork out to upgrade I'd suggest your business isn't going to last long. I accept...

Anyone else ever had the thing where you wake up in the night, go to take a drink from a glass of water and find a spider's fallen in? I keep the top of the glass covered now.

That is probably the thing that would see us persevere with him - we have no-one else. I can't see Reid given a chance at LWB. He played in the centre today and it seems that if he has any future here with us it will be in that position.

Hotter summers = more chance for them to grow. On the whole don't mind spiders (mainly cos the ones in this country are largely harmless. If I lived somewhere like Oz they can fuck right off) but they are both fascinating and freaky. The false widows are a slight concern. Certainly try and...

Ideally yes, but that's not what we bring loans in for. We've got a small squad that could end up getting even smaller over the next couple of days and we can't afford to have places taken up by someone who just isn't at that level, or likely to be for a significant period. We're not a...

There is definitely part of me expecting either a delayed KO or for people to miss the start of the game due to having underestimated the walk-up. Ok, there is part of that on fans being told to arrive early but turning up five minutes before KO and then being shocked that there's a queue, but...

SISU have always been willing to sell up. As long as their price was met. But no-one has been willing to meet it. Which suggests they're over-valuing it. It's amazing that we've just had a statement saying that we need to face the reality of increasing costs etc, yet the owners themselves won't...

I thought the final sub was Will Hall?

It almost unbelievable to think if a weeks time we'll be sitting here thinking Boris was an intellectual heavyweight and a shrewd political player. You keep on thinking it can't get worse... And yet there will still be people who think Truss is a better bet than Starmer. And those people are...

New Stadium: The long-term New Stadium project is being led by the Owners, with staff at the Club concentrating on the day-to-day running of the Football Club. We know and understand that many of our supporters are keen for a further update regarding this, and the importance of this issue, and...

I always knew you'd want to do that.

Of course that's not accurate, but you know as well as I do they classify 'investment' as being the funds they put in + any interest they're owed. Which is nonsense. I could lend Boddy a fiver at 1bn% and claim I've invested billions in the club.

I assume as Hall is being referred to by name and not trialist we've actually signed him.

I'm not saying they won't want friendlies, just would they want them against us on that potential injury-trap of a CBS pitch. They'd probably prefer it at home or to play someone else. I think at best we might suggest a split of revenues and costs at their ground. Though if Boddy's negotiating...

I'm sure Macron's shitting himself at the prospect of the man who was a major part of Britain's Brexit negotiating team being involved. There's only so many times you can pull someone's pants down before it gets a bit boring.

While the idea is a decent one, would we really wanting to be playing on that pitch more during the winter months when there's already rugby going on? We could run the risk of injuries if it's deteriorated again and the pitch will need as much rest as possible. Would also have to have agreement...

Then we take it off the next payment. I still maintain that the best option by a sensible owner would have been to provide a loan to cover the unexpected costs/lost revenue.
