So basically we’re as productive as we can be ?! Come on. I’ll ignore the comment about Bravermann (who as I’ve said before I’ve got no time for and shouldn’t be anywhere near government) and teaching people to pick fruit and veg comments. Of course there are opportunities to train/retrain...

The point is there are opportunities to automate in those sectors to improve productivity and/or focus on training/retraining people, but this hasn’t happened as much as it could due to the availability of cheap labour, either legal or shadow labour market. It’s been a lazy approach. I agree...

Agree US would be a main blocker

There’s been a real lack in investment in machinery etc a lot due to lack of certainty in the U.K. (I accept partially due to Brexit and the shitshow/uncertainty since). But there’s also been a historical reliance on cheap labour. I understand Tonys point about certain Brexiteers wanting to...

The money laundering etc is very different to some kind of global tax agreement whereby companies pay where revenue is generated. Trying to get countries such as Ireland with 12.5% Corp tax agreeing to it is going to be a challenge

Think we’ve said before, look back to productivity etc since the financial crisis.

My understanding is that unless there is international agreement, which hopefully is coming, the ‘Amazon tax’ just isn’t currently feasible. The whole country wants it but to pretend this is something a party in the U.K. can deliver on its own is a bit disingenuous unless I’m missing something...

Max signed up for second leg, overhead kick winner before giving Grendel a celebratory piggy back around the pitch at full time

They just come across a really decent bunch of lads. Credit again to them and management

Was that just wishful thinking on her part ?

Exactly. We had the better of the game from 30-35 min onwards. Just struggled to break them down which happens especially without ohare and palmer on pitch

There were a couple of blocked shots that wouldve been on target. Vik had one when he cut inside box second half, defender dived full length and blocked. They defended really well both in how they set up and last ditch efforts to block/intercept. Both teams set up really not to lose first and...

Glad you’ve got the all clear Otis. Sometimes these things can actually be for the best/a blessing, albeit scary at the time, as it can drive some positive changes to lifestyle etc (we all know what we should or shouldn’t be doing more or less of !). Take care and all the best with the recovery

I did wonder if it was the plan all along to give sheaf a few more days to focus on get right for the second leg though I’ve got a feeling they’ll be one or two changes for Wednesday

We pressed far better as the game went on. We controlled a majority of the second half without managing to create any clear chances but that was as much down to a solid defensive performance by Boro (there were periods when they had eight men in their final third). If we play like we did second...

and another. Someone get their thread to robins and the lads… ‘They are already posting a link to this thread on the Coventry forum. Its the type of thing that makes back to opposition dressing rooms, that and the constant posts about Wembley make our fans look like deluded, arrogant Mackems.’...

Some are talking like we lost two or three nil. Let’s see how the tie plays out. Boro are a very good team and we’re still in it

typical cagey first leg, always needs an early goal. Thought we did pretty well second half, controlled the game better but they were well set up at the back so didn’t really give us a sniff. Still in it Ps I think some peoples expectations were a little OTT. We’re playing a team that’s been...

Came back into it as half went on. That 10-15 min spell was uncomfortable !

Pathetic and a bit embarrassing really Sorry if already posted elsewhere
