Especially with Leeds Wednesday and QPR coming up on Tuesday. Fair play to King, correct pricing and fans have responded. Hopefully turned it into a proper cup tie !

I might be wrong but think he’s saying BoE believe we’re weaker now/going to be weaker in the shorter term but maybe a bit stronger in the medium term. As I mentioned before, not sure Id hang my hat on the BoE forecasts though, there’s so many variables outside their and even UK governments control

Yep. Sorry. BoE appear to be concerned about a potential slowing of the economy and a softening of the labour market hence willingness to cut. Just hope we don’t get a double whammy of inflation moving/staying higher than hoped and a weakening economy ! One positive is that BoEs forecasts have...

To be fair when they increased rates there were other elements of inflation that were rising and upward wage pressure due to tight labour market. one ‘beneficial’ unintended consequence of the budget is the employer NIC increases will further soften the labour market and maybe help reduce wage...

Agreed. All poor last night Also we’re without Wright, Sheaf and Mason Clark. Those three on form and Grimes in and I think were a totally different proposition Leeds movement killed us last night. We didn’t look mobile enough across the whole pitch to handle it. They’re top of the league for...

Simms handled nearly every ball played at/to him second half, always with one or two CBs right on him, brought other players into the game and nearly scored

Leeds by far the best team I’ve seen up here this year. Their passing and movement is a different level. Too much respect though and a couple of poor goals. Lampard has got to change formation and make a sub or two at HT (grimes got to come on)

Trump demands the additional press though. Hes also engaging with them far more. Biden in recent times and then Harris initially in the presidential race, swerved them. I sympathise with Starmer and Reeves, they’ve been dealt a shit hand, but communication and clear messaging has been a major...

Trump is far more performative and is all about showing his/the US perceived strength though. For all the good that Biden may have done, he was perceived as weak and fragile by the end

I honestly don’t miss it. I love the competitiveness of the championship and financial benefits aside, I’m really not that fussed about the premier league

Im not acting as an apologist. I’ve said I don’t like his methods but the fact is Mexico have responded by putting troops on the border and Panama has said they won’t renew their agreement with China regarding the Panama canal. Both are potential security issues for the U.S. He’s getting what he...

It was the right call but then the question will be why did it take tariff threats from trump to better secure their border 🤷‍♂️

The Mexican invasion is delayed…for now anyway ! I don’t necessarily like the way Trump goes about things but most of the time he just wants people to come to the table and do a deal….Mexico have sent 10k troops to the border.

I might well be wrong as who knows with Trump but talk of invasions feels a little OTT/premature The Panama canal debate is an interesting one and from what I’ve read,,is more to do with Chinas influence/involvement in the area. This looks like it’s already getting resolved

Not whilst they’re still the dominant partner in NATO*. Europe has relied on the U.S. for defence/security and ultimately still does. It’s why I’ve been banging on about everyone in europe spending more on defence so we/they become less reliant on US. The percentage of GDP spent on defence by...

I’m not sure what everyone else gets on their Twitter but the first three posts on the subject on mine were as follows (a fair few about Eccles rumours as well for good measure). All against the tariffs/trump FWIW I just don’t think you treat allies like Canada in this way (China are fair game)

Id be disappointed if that’s the case and I say that as a fan of Eccles. The fact is others are performing really well in his position and we’re on a great run. What do they/he expect ? Those in his ear should be telling him to bide his time, work hard and take his chance when the opportunity...

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Eccles bounce back like Simms. Bassette was being picked ahead of him, the coaching staff have obviously been working on a few things and Simms came back focussed and hungry. As weird as it sounds it’s almost like Eccles was maybe a bit overawed by lampards...

Thats the forum though, you’re either a world beater or shit/surplus to requirements nothing inbetween

Brutal I know but I’d still be tempted to sell if the price is right. Hes at an age where he should play regularly and he won’t do it here when everyone’s fit. Great goal and work rate today but the other elements aren’t quite there for me (got a couple of Baggies mates and they said exactly the...
