Seems to have gone now. Cheers

you tell me, you’re posting them 😂😂😂

Need to add a minimum of 3-4 who are proven. I get the argument behind returns on players, but if you view the fact that ‘if’ we stayed up then we get another £120m or whatever it is, that’s your return on the proven players. I wouldn’t abandon the younger players entirely, but they are not...

Christmas lights. 2 attempts at hanging them this weekend, both failures. Was just stood on the drive shouting at them to fuck off in the end; bet the neighbours were pleased.

I know, and it’s kind of my reticence with it. But it needs solving somehow. Is it a bonkers idea for the NHS and DWP to share data to ensure they don’t put people through unnecessary stress? Referencing my (theoretical) idea of the 60 year old with no legs getting hauled to a meeting.

In prison for drug trafficking? You get a pardon. In a boat that ‘might’ be drug trafficking? You get a missile.

As with many things, I think the truth/the solution lies somewhere in the middle. No one wants to see genuinely incapacitated people struggling to make ends meet, but equally we don’t want people taking the piss. Means testing all benefits is an additional cost and would take a huge amount of...

Can't say I'd agree with the first point, but every so often in this chat an interesting idea is floated. Increased PTA based on children I quite like on the face of it.

I was hoping we'd see real property tax reform as part of the Budget but, alas, not so. It wouldn't cure all ills, but if it meant we could stop disincentivising the elderly moving out of traditionally family homes then we can make the existing housing stock go a bit further.

I’ve referenced this before, but that first 30 mins vs Cardiff (Lampard’s first game in charge) showed how he wanted us to play. We just didn’t have the fitness to do it. I really feared he would dogmatically stick to this style but the fact he was pragmatic, adapted our style and clearly...

If you look at a lot of the Brazilian superstars that break through at a young age, most of them are done at a meaningful level by 30. Although part of it will be down to the stereotypical party lifestyle.

Re the first point, I suppose it comes down to the type of fitness we were building. Plausible that the fitness work pre-Lampard was more around durability, being able to get through a full 90, whereas clearly there's an expectation of intensity with the team now. Regardless, clearly we're...

Mad init.

I think it’s a ‘miles on the clock’ thing given he’s been playing regular PL football since 16.

Never really understood why full backs change sides on corners.

What line of work are you in? Or would that give too much away. Happy for you to PM me if easier.

That’s awful.

What if the kids prefer smoking to carrots?

You joke but I have been wondering whether that might be too unrealistic?* He’s likely to have had some crossover with Lampard playing for England. *The answer is yes, btw.

It’s the slight misnomer with being the party of ‘the working people’. Vast swathes of SMEs will be very low-numbers employers and almost de-facto workers for another company (i.e. their main client). Should be looking to loosen things for them in some way.
