    Premier League discussing EFL changes

    If they want U23 players to develop let other clubs sign them permanently and play them. Then that club gets the benefit for improving them either on the pitch or in transfer fees. The football league is not there for the benefit of the bigger clubs. It's high time squad limits were brought in...

    Moore Hyam Fadz Panzo Dabo Sheaf Hamer Bidwell O'Hare Gyok Godden Wilson, Adaramola, Rose/Doyle, Eccles/Allen, Palmer, Walker/Waghorn, Tavares First game always difficult to predict. They'll be buzzing after promotion. If we can get an early goal, or at the very least outplay them for the...

    Fuel prices

    And this is sort of why I'm sceptical of new nuclear. By the time they come online they'll be overly expensive compared to alternatives. Yes, there will be a lag in getting major renewable projects done as well, but if we've spent the money on new nuclear then we'll have to wait for more...

    Championship 22-23

    Or if you;re not going to use them release them so other clubs can develop them and then benefit financially from that hard work.

    Transfer Shouts

    We defintely need both and they'll both get game time. With extra subs we'll be swapping wing backs often I reckon to keep up the pace and intensity. It's probably the most physically demanding position.

    He's certainly not polished when someone takes him to task on stuff. Has a very entitled 'how dare you question me!' air about him.

    It's quite something when you're there wanting someone like Rishi Sunak to win a contest. I mean, whoever it is is a bad choice.

    Disco Elysium.

    Thought this was a transfer rumour about a new right back.

    What is Jack Burrough's best position?

    I'm the opposite. RH Batsman, LH bowler.

    Sir Lewis Hamilton

    Not at all. I've said in the past his achievements in the sport are incredible. Yes, sometimes he gets on my nerves with preaching what he doesn't practice but that doesn't take anything away from what he's done in the sport. But in the discussion about his tax, are you saying that it's...

    And if he's played up front with Godden it might give him a bit more space to get goals.

    Sir Lewis Hamilton

    Playing devil's advocate, you can still dodge tax AND pay a lot of tax in comparison to others. I'll bet the biggest tax dodgers are also those that pay the highest amounts of tax. If I paid twice as much tax as you but earned five times as much income, would I not be dodging tax somewhere?

    Team for Sunderland

    Yeah, but I think a big problem last year was not putting chances away early on that meant we ended up chasing goal. let's put our best finisher on the pitch from the start so we're less likely to end up in that situation in the first place. Plus, Tavares is a good option to bring off the bench...

    O'Hare bids

    In the end we had to accept the Villa bid because it met the clause. If we'd not given him the new contract we may have got more cos we'd have had the right to say no to the Villa bid. Didn't Blackburn supposedly put in a bigger bid but he refused to leave so we ended up getting less? That seems...

    I do get Rob's point. It would be fun to see all the drivers in exactly the same cars to settle who is the best driver. Simiarly it would be nice to let the constructors just do whatever they want to (mainly just having safety regs) and see what weird and wonderful innovations they come up with.

    O'Hare bids

    If you're putting in a release clause the whole point is you want it to be high so that people don't trigger it. If the clause gets met it almost certainly means they'd have been willing to pay more and you've not got the best value for the asset as you could. Why would you give a player a new...

    To be fair Truss wasn't a Brexiteer, just another blowing with the wind to appease her own delusioned ambitions.
