Has there been some kind of job swap with the Guardian and Times editors ?!

January is always a surplus month and from what I’ve read the figure generated, whilst substantially more than last year, is less than forecast so it isn’t additional spare cash (no need for any comments FP !). Agree though that any available cash is far better invested in sorting out some...

Not sure what the first refusal really give us. Surely the player still just goes to the highest bidder (depending on player also agreeing terms) As to why we didn’t do it with Mason Clark…exactly that and we wanted to secure him now, even if he doesn’t arrive until the summer

same age probably

I was going to say something similar. We’ve turned into a country of talkers/delayers/moaners not do’ers, someones always got an issue with everything so fuck all gets done. Usually people looking for the ideological perfect rather than just ‘the better’ whether that’s to do with energy...

Interesting article from a guy who usually commentates on the US economy and why it’s essential that other nato members, especially around Europe, need to start pulling their fingers out and quick Whether it’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden, Nato’s in trouble...

Not sure if we’re talking crossed purposes but if you’re talking about Goldman sachs report that’s not 5% year on year (it’s in total) and I was talking about brexits impact on inflation being minor compared to other examples - we’re talking about inflation and interest rates not Brexit

Oh yeah, silly me 😊 There’s no doubt that it would’ve had a negative impact on inflation but compared to the other examples relatively minor ps the 5% was an estimate in total since brexit not year in year out. Still significant but difficult to be accurate when we’ve had the pandemic and...

QE, Ukrainian war and post pandemic squeeze. I agree though that they haven’t been very good and basically were asleep at the wheel prior to/at the early stages of inflation increasing which exacerbated the problem. They should’ve stopped QE and increased interest rates earlier, however, do I...

Yeah, I’ve always thought he comes across really well in interviews. Bit cocky but more confidence than arrogance. Don’t get me wrong a lot of players do stuff like the above, but I doubt many with the same care and effort especially before a game

Agree. Its ridiculous how the electricity price is calculated. So we pay green energy tax to subsidise green energy investment (which im 100% behind in theory) but then still get charged cost of producing on ‘gas basis’ which is the most expensive and only generates about a third of our...

Ofgen have been fuckin useless. I might be wrong but I think the argument of late was that the cap was left higher to recompense the poor energy companies for making less during the peak unit cost period ie sharing the pain. As I mentioned at the start of the energy crisis though there is a...

To be fair though, if Ukraine had just rolled over at the start when Russia were heading to Kiev they’d have lost the whole country. Ukraine and the West (whatever the motives) did the right thing to try to repel them. Putins willingness to throw endless bodies at the war and this being...

Sorry if it’s been mentioned already but looking at Simms goal again the weight of the first time pass from ohare was quality

Madders, he’s a good un ain’t he

Trying to attach link but not working @goalscov on X

Get in Simmo !

Tired

don’t get changing CBs again. We’ve not had a settled pairing for weeks which unsurprisingly has coincided with no clean sheets. Interested to see how taveres gets on.

It’s his choice but agree. He was always a naturally quick scorer anyway, rotating strike etc. not sure why he’s taking the amount of risks when he’s not fully in nick
