First read that and had images of Oompah-Loompah type creatures in pinstripe suits obsessed with money rather than chocolate. Or the Gringotts goblins from Harry Potter.

It's the 5th most supported league in the universe

I agree. It seems for some a return is only palatable if it's allied to the total annihilation of Wasps. Part of which is why we're here in the first place. SISU weren't interested in decent rent rates etc - they wanted to destroy ACL along with it - which has culminated in the animosity we see...

I assume you asked for her consent. Or did she just not notice?

I think it can be a more exciting league than the PL because it's more competitive on the whole. PL you get the big few teams that get their games against each other hyped up and often are dull, cagey affairs. When they play the smaller teams it's a glorified training session. When the smaller...

It's a bit like when someone doesn't understand 'Netflix and Chill'. Can be both incredibly creepy and funny to see. Can't really say "single people are allowed one fuck buddy' though can they?

As well as Merchant of Venice which could be seen as massively anti-semitic and Taming of the Shrew is mysogynistic. What a bastard! Down with the RSC! Time to burn the Globe again!

Nope. It's still 24 teams. ;)

Short term games will be BCD or with very restricted attendances. So those large crowds may not even be feasible for much of next season

I think Wasps would actually be Ok with part ownership with us (the football club). Just not with these particular owners. I honestly believe with different owners there would be a relaxing of attitudes and something could be done, not just in terms of rent but partial ownership.

Just some thoughts on stadium selling issues. I believe I'm right in saying that FFP rules are based on revenue rather than assets. So shouldn't any sale of things like a stadium not be included, instead being classified as a capital gain? If it were classed as revenue technically couldn't an...

Kris Marshall?

Yep. Tried to be clever/greedy and saying if we can stay open we can get a march on everyone else and see the economic benefit (their main desire). Instead we dithered and will likely end up seeing the biggest shock from it by having to delay our re-opening of it. Wouldn't surprise me if a fair...

Rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic IMO. The lost a lot of sane ones after the election as they just bussed in a load of Boris fanboys and girls just willing to say yes to whatever he proposed on Brexit.

I've not quite understood yet why no-one has asked Johnson or another Tory why they've released a statement about maintaining standards in trade deals but when a vote in the Commons was made on putting forward legislation enshrining it in law they rejected it?

Quite probably. But with the lack of income from BCD deflating the market he *may* be affordable *if* BC looked like losing him on a free. I'd expect other takers to be interested and to probably be able to outbid us. But at the moment I'm feeling post-promotion optimism.

TBH I've never forgiven us for giving them the chance to. Game should've been well and truly won long before they equalised but the team just seemed to be playing in 2nd gear and couldn't be bothered to up it. Only people to get angry at for that is us.

I've no problem with them changing their minds. The backtrack on school opening is welcome as I feared they'd just plough ahead regardless. But it should be being done because the science and evidence had changed. At the moment stuff is touted as opening up due to ideology and then change their...

Not sure why but just got images of Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield's Dutch coppers. "I'm captain Stefan van der Haasgraaft of the Amsterdam police, with my partner, and also happy to say my lover, Ronald."

I'm getting that feeling of Southampton a few years back when they dropped down the divisions, brought through a number of youngsters like Walcott, AOC and Lallana along with some astute signings and were on the crest of a wave and just kept on getting better.
