    So there's things happening elsewhere we could use as a starting point but instead decide to go down our own different route for no obvious benefit or reason. Why does that sound alarmingly familiar? I swear some of it is certain people just refusing to do the same as places like France and...

    Corbyn was unimpressive but Brexit was the big thing on why it was such a big change. Which Corbyn of course was a major part of. If it was solely about Corbyn they wouldn't have voted for him first time round either, but they did.

    The Only Way Is Up is surely a Viagra ad (although kudos to the person that used Cockney Rebel's Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) for it) Smells Like Teen Spirit sounds like it should be used for an air freshener (yes, I do know Teen Spirit is/was a deodorant).

    I'm pretty sure things like 'Electric Dreams", "Are Friend's Electric" and "Electric Avenue" have been used by power companies. And "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)" for a mattress. And of course Flash by Queen

    That's largely the model we use. Develop and sell hoping to be able to improve overall as a result. It's the same for all but the very top clubs who are at the pinnacle and whose only aim can be to maintain their current level. Most clubs are loss making and need to cover those shortfalls, so...

    Cynic in me says that's the point - to minimise cost to the govt yet look like they're doing something to help. No business is going to pay people more than required for the work if they've got spare capacity. You don't pay overtime rates when you've got people underemployed. Esp at a time when...

    Maybe not, but don't discount Johnson/Tories losing it thus giving it him back by default.

    It has been on the rise since the referendum for a few reasons. First things was after Cameron made all these promises and then as soon as they voted no the conversation turned almost instantly onto the effect on England. Brexit also had an effect, voting Remain yet the UK as a whole voted to...

    I'm sorry for your loss. Someone dying of heart failure could also be linked to Covid though. It affects the ability of the body to absorb oxygen. Less oxygen means the heart beats faster to try and get sufficient oxygen. This puts extra pressure on an already weak heart. It may well have...

    But how can you keep selling decent strikers if you're not replacing them? To keep selling them you have to keep producing/buying them. Otherwise the chain of events would be: 1. Sell decent striker 2. Don't replace him 3. Have no decent striker to sell

    Before anyone gets too carried away about last nights results let's not forget they were playing Chelsea, their two centre backs were suspended, they still created chances (but failed to put them away) and the first four gaols were all defensive errors brought about by high energetic pressing...

    Mars helping to end racism

    I opened this wondering if we were sending the racists on a rocket into outer space. But I guess they'd be up in arms about being sent to the Red Planet. It'd have to be the White Planet.

    They would, but purely for financial reasons. They all want their team to produce a Class of 92 or some hidden lower league gem but only if they were capable of the same standard as those established. Often they're not and the shareholders won't accept poorer results to bring them on. Like all...

    I was talking in general about British fans. I'm not, although I do hate Champions League which is filled with more teams who aren't champions than are.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's the entire point of it. Can't renationalise them cos then when things improve their rich mates can't profit from it.

    But if we're buying players on installments and selling them on the same terms then there is still an equivalence between ins and outs, just with lower figures at the immediate time. Of course it does assume that term lengths etc are similar but you'd imagine they would be there or thereabouts.
