    Looked like it was going to be a horror show for him and Vikings but great come back. Shows he’s got that mental toughness, impressive especially for someone so young. Reckon O’Connells an ideal coach for him

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Haha, maybe. The weird thing is Trump should want the numbers to be bad in the short term as it’s likely to lead to the Fed cutting rates more/quicker….he just doesn’t want to be seen to be the cause of them being bad !

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You’re right about jobs report on Friday already showing a slowing down. There's jobs revisions report up to March 25 released today (different reports) which is based on more accurate data than the weekly/monthly figures* Markets mayve already priced in expected downward revision but we’ll see...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s mental but true, unless you’re talking about putting flags up/taking them down or shouting wealth tax, the media, social media or politicians arent interested To be fair the public don’t want tough choices or be told how it is. They all want to believe in fantasy politics/economics...

    England squad

    Cant disagree with this. My heart is saying we should’ve stuck with Carsley (if he fancied it), let him bring all the kids through and even if it didn’t pan out at the World Cup it would be set up for the next manager. My concern with Tuchel is if he just takes a very short term approach (WTF is...

    Nonsense. Increasing the personal allowance is the best thing for the poorest who work. You can tweak higher rates to compensate The richest already start losing their personal allowance the more they earn though. ‘As your income increases above £100,000, your personal tax allowance, or the...

    The official NFL Thread

    If anyone wants to see something impressive check out what happened at the end of the Chiefs drive just before HT last night. Quality by Butker/chiefs Only saw YouTube highlights but Mahomes did some usual magic stuff. Herbert also looked very good

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I try to avoid this thread recently but I’ve got to call out this continued social media BS about the government being centre right, in what appears some attempt to say, we need a ‘proper left wing’ government. They increased taxes by something like £40bn pa and planned increased borrowing of...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agree it’s not a sackable offence. She’s shown herself to be a hypocrite and not the brightest though….same as many politicians before her.

    Embarrassing

    They might be OTT with it over there but you’ve just highlighted how that underlying positivity/support isn’t reflected here, in fact it’s the opposite. A very small example is I know my local boozer like a lot of other places does money off food for nhs,,teachers etc but no mention of military...

    Embarrassing

    That doesn’t reflect my experience over there over the years, where I have met people who genuinely seem to love their country. There’s also the lot who chant ‘USA, USA’ at everything but I’m not talking about them. If you’ve seen or experienced different then so be it but can only take it as...

    Embarrassing

    That’s incorrect about the USA. I’ve been to various towns and cities across America over a number of years and noticed that they are just far more patriotic than us. They play the national anthem before every sports game/event (certainly the ones I’ve been to), there is a far greater...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Think he’s in commodities/rapeseed oil. SISU were a hedge fund and we were stuck with them for 15 years. I agree kings unlikely to be here long term but in the meantime he’s trying to run the club as sustainably as possible and the only way to do this is player trading

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    I reckon it’s come from king. Whether it was partly to prepare for the stadium purchase (which I guess would also involve external borrowings) or to cover losses, unsure

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if we go 5 at the back if grimes got injured

    My take on the window

    Yeah. Sheaf wasn’t in the first 11 and had injury problems over the past 18 months. MvE is still our best RB and plays every week. I could only imagine the meltdown if we’d sold MvE yesterday as well

    My take on the window

    Agree with all that. I bet we still turned down some offers for MvE though, either too low earlier in the window or too late to do anything.

    Who’d be an owner.

    and were moaning when we didn’t do a hull and throw loads of money at short term signings/loans in that January the same hull who are now apparently financially fucked
