Not wholly across the detail yet. Saw something about business rates reform for hospitality, etc but appreciate that’s not market-wide. Generally agree with the sentiment, though. A lot of (fairly punitive) window dressing.

And then you get a mortgage and then kids come along and all the stuff you need to furnish/baby proof the house.

We defended the box well, but they seemed to get in behind us far too much for my liking - admittedly that was in part down to them playing well and playing quickly. Feels a little bit “the ends justify the means”.

Only heard a snippet of this on the radio and haven't had chance to look into it, but optically at the very least it's an awful idea. Will only amplify the whole "two-tier justice" malarkey which I think is a nonsense anyway.

Is that apart from the other games where we've not conceded?

Would like to rest Van Ewijk if possible but if we're short on the wings then not really going to be an option.

I had a target in mind of 48 points by halfway. Now leaves us needing 8 from our next 6 which you’d imagine is eminently doable. In fact, probably be quite disappointed with that return now!

Only on track for 108 points and 127 goals now. Bit of a drop off. Disappointing really.

See, I don’t think it is unrealistic. As you’ve touched on, he could cover a couple of different positions; even if he jumped ahead of Allen in the pecking order that would have given him meaningful minutes so far this season. There’s also been subsequent chat about Torp’s fitness levels, so...

The only ‘good news’ about this is that I meant to have a bet on him to be top scorer at about 80/1 but forgot, so glad he now won’t be!

I bring it back to Sam Rak-Sakyi who we were supposedly interested in last January. Don’t know enough about him but could potentially look at someone like that on a permanent who won’t necessarily expect to play every game but in the long term may have what it takes at PL level. It’s difficult...

Hope this rationalises some of the points:

Never had @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 down as being quite that tall.

TNT have Champions League rights. Or most of them anyway I think - split with Amazon.

Always said I believed in the stadium project…

Clearly the strategy to get them through all of the tests is to finish them by day 3.

When I woke up to England 172 a/o I thought “here we go again”. When was the last time the 3rd innings started on Day 1 of an Ashes test?

I started writing a reasoned response to all this but I cba. Just a few great nuggets: The club are paying the interest on behalf of their former owner who is diversifying? LOL. Insurance firms build speculative sports arenas? LOL. The club will be the beneficiary of all of this revenue from...

FWIW I do think he’s got a bit of a raw deal with Trump’s tariffs leading to a bit of a global economic slowdown which clearly wouldn’t have been factored into manifesto pledges. That said, I do wholeheartedly agree that they (and all politicians) need to block out the noise and focus on the...

Who did he play for before Scotland then?
