    This. On a good week I do an equivalent of an extra days work a week without a single penny more in pay. On a bad week it's far more than that. In terms of a new parent going back to work it's far more than just you're £200 a week better off working. You're no longer spending time, and raising...

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    We've got a lot of players who I would not be confident are going to score if they stepped up to take a pen. Hopefully they're more confident than I am!

    Century for Barnard now and 500 up. Got to think a declaration isn't far off. Clive on comms today so hopefully a sign he's not giving that up as well.

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May

    It's only one goal but I think there's concern that going into the 2nd leg with a lead they can do exactly the same game plan as they did last night.

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    Exactly this, they were more than happy to sit back with everyone behind the ball while we tapped it around. Not like their keeper was making world class save after world class save. They had a plan, exactly the plan most people would have expected from a visiting team in the 1st leg, and...

    Errors Leading To Goals

    Seen a few people having a go at Wilson for this, pretty sure most of them would also be criticising him if he’d stayed on his line and just let the forward pick his spot

    Weight and working out

    One of the biggest criticisms of the jabs has been the cost to the taxpayer if they were given to everyone who met the NICE guidelines, which is very much not people who want to use a few pounds but people who have multiple obesity related conditions. New research seems to question that and...

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May

    Think a lot will rest on how Sunderland setup. If they decide they're happy to put 10 men behind the ball and defend a one goal lead then I fear we will approach the game the same way given Lampard's post match comments. If we do saw nothing yesterday, or in the other games where teams have been...

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    This is what annoyed me tbh. It was like Sunderland had pulled off some tactical masterstroke but pretty much everyone could have worked out what they were going to do in advance, and even if they couldn't 10-15 minutes in it was obvious. Why did we have no plan for this or do the fake injury...

    India acts against Pakistan after terrorist incident

    They have no recourse to public funds. They will pay income tax and the NHS surcharge.

    India acts against Pakistan after terrorist incident

    Its designed for temporary workers and is the same agreement with have with many other countries that nobody seems to have had a problem with up until now. The idea is if you work for an, in this instance, Indian company and they sent you to the UK for 6 months you keep paying whatever their...

    Sunderland away tickets

    But aren't there people who are building their points up by buying tickets to games they can't go to and passing them to others?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Bingo, this is also a large part in why young people are reluctant to take jobs with shit pay & conditions. They think what's the point in killing myself for a job I'll hate when I still won't be able to afford a decent standard of living and that then feeds in to the high level of mental health...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Given that mental health services are on their knees after years of austerity how do you propose we establish who needs to 'get over themselves' and who has genuine issues.

    Just got back from Romania, pretty much all the service workers there were Romanian. If the native population is prepared to do the jobs you're less reliant on immigrants Having said that one of our clients used to be a chain of luxary hotels (we're talking £400+ a night). The workers were...

    You don't challenge the supreme court judgement, case law is more pertinent. If and when a case reaches court it will be for that court to decide how to interpret and apply the judgement. That then becomes the reference for future cases. What they are saying is that the wording of the judgement...
