Let’s be honest, there aren’t many ‘nice’ rich people/entities in football. Oligarchs with questionable ties to sovereign states/dictators with poor human rights records… or profiteering capitalists. There aren’t many ‘white knights’ knocking about.

32k was always going to be too big for a rugby club. 20-23k would be the maximum I imagine. Birmingham would likely be a good shout, it doesn’t involve displacing a major Birmingham team, maybe Moseley? Unlike Cov RFC, they don’t have realistic ambitions to get to the Prem.

We’re singing on slightly different hymn sheets here. I agree that the women winning a trophy doesn’t end the years of hurt and the notion of ‘no more years of hurt’ The women’s team hadn’t won anything since 1984 and they had their own brush with pain in 2009. So clearly the sentiment was...

The reason ‘Three Lions’ remains popular is because it captures the nations mood around failure and the dreaming of success. I never seen Lineaker, Moore, Gazza or Psycho play football yet the sentiment of the song is just as relevant in 1996 as it is today. For the women’s team, they had...

Football coming home surely applies to women’s team too? They haven’t won a major tournament either!

He’s just had a below par game, it’s not that deep.

He had some good shifts playing deeper, but he has no output to warrant a starting berth as a CAM. When we play two AMs, we can kind of get away with it. Not with one.

There’s that, but just as important in my view, we have nothing coming from either wing back. We’re penned in and have no where to go.

Maybe Eccles isn’t as good as some make out? Whenever I’ve seen him, he’s looked decent but I’ve felt he’s been overhyped a bit.

There’s a lot to like about him but I’m unconvinced with him aerially. Has ducked out/not gone up for 2-3 duals and the balls just gone over him.

Not been impressed with Eccles and we’ve really missed that link between the front two and the midfield. I hope Palmer can manage some game time to make a difference.

It’s probably a joke because Brazilian isn’t a language. Portuguese is the language of Brazil.

I think Labour tried to cost the renationalisation of utilities and the railways and there were holes in it. I voted for that program in 2019 but have since come to the conclusion that public ownership a) probably wouldn’t achieve its goals in delivering better customer experience and prices...

So you’d cut VAT by 5% and balance that with increased borrowing and massive public expenditure commitments. You’d have to raise taxes as the corporation tax increases would not cover for this. The market conditions at the minute makes borrowing money more expensive which pushes spending up even...

Would it not be spineless to let your shadow cabinet colleagues strike when you explicitly ban them from doing so? I’ve not got a problem with backbenchers playing activist politics, but the cabinet/shadow cabinet are supposed to be a credible government or government in waiting. A cabinet is...

Key word in this sentence is ‘projections’ and they are constantly readjusted. To be perfectly honest, the whole of Europe is on the cusp of recession. Russia cutting off gas (a likely outcome) would be enough to plunge most European economies, including Italy, Germany and most Eastern Bloc...

I don’t think he is. We’ll likely sign a goalkeeper if Moore goes.

The Eurozone as a whole grew a whole 0.1% more than the UK. Which includes higher growth rates in smaller economies with more scope to grow. Meanwhile, we’ve outperformed France, Germany...

Yeah, and the only half of the border check booths at Dover are manned by the French border police. Apparently we’ve shared our expected volumes with them and yet they’re operating at half capacity. Again, not to be blamed on Brexit. A more appropriate target would be the French frontier police.

I really haven’t cherry picked the data. We’ve outgrown the major EU economies since we left the EU and even outgrown those same economies since the referendum in 2016. To judge Brexit less than 2 years into it is a bit silly. Of course there’s going to be some short term disruption. Food...
