For once I agree. Don't think the state should be running things like holiday companies. But mainly because the state would provide the cash to get it up and running and it'd end up being privatised again and the govt would once again get advice setting the IPO way below value and the private...

It does seem a huge flaw in the entire system that people can set themselves up to benefit from something failing by taking positions like short-selling. It was one of the first things that made me look into how the entire system works and whether it's fit for purpose. It should be at most that...

But most US sports stop and reset their position very quickly. NFL style playbooks wouldn't work in a lot of our sports because the play flows and continues to a much larger degree.

Phrase from my teens I don't hear anymore "I think you're fit. Do you wanna have sex?" :(

I agree, but as we're supposedly talking about MR attention to detail I'd say having the players train at the same time as they'd be playing a match is a bit more of a relevant detail he might focus attention on than a few dandelions.

But would you then have similar arguments like now of people arguing that their representative MP hadn't ranked everything in the same order as the people would've?

If you want. Just make sure that the top class take £500 from the bank everytime as well from the money kept from the tax man in offshore accounts and trusts.

I've always wanted to ask him - does he get the players to train on the pitch at the same time as a matchday (ie 3pm) or adjust it for evening kick offs? Get the players bodies used to the matchday exertion 'rhythm'. If the players are training in the morning during the week and have their feet...

Having it as two step is possibly an option, but the choices have to be binary. Trouble is that in order to have any kind of option of a deal on the ballot it would have to be negotiated beforehand to be able to be put forward - we can't do that now and if those negotiating don't want us to...

This is quite a random thing to post, but due to the never-ending political and economic discussions in here I wondered if anyone else had ever played the game with someone but set it out to be more 'real life' to make a point? What you do is each piece represents status in life and each gets a...

Don't think it can be. Brexiteers will say the leave vote has been split and remain given unfair advantage in a poll.

Imagine a reverse slog-sweep overhead kick! Fricket? Not bad, but does sound more like something the missus does on her own upstairs....

She wants to put roots down but he's likely to leaves him in the larch as he likes putting his nuts in people's mouths.

I'm going for a quite high-scoring nailbiter, but can't decide on if we'll scrape another winner late on. Had a bit of a longer break but I don't think they're playing mid-week so not as big an issue as it might have been. Dabo to get booked and get his second suspension of the season. Marosi...

What about goals disallowed by VAR ;)

I think the big gulf is actually within the division, between the top and the bottom. A L1 could probably give a decent fist of staying up but have very little chance of going for promotion. Like the PL - the big gulf is between the CL contenders and everyone else, with maybe the odd one or two...

We'd have 15 players as it stands out of contract at the end of the season. Most are U23/youth but the likes of Bakayoko, Brown, Hiwula, Hyam, Jones and Westbrooke could also potentially be gone.

Please enlighten us oh wise one.

That's rather disingenuous. The 'affordability' only potential 'evens out' a bit on the mortgage interest rates. So if you can't afford the deposit (which is increasingly harder as house inflation exceeds wage inflation) then you can't even get a sniff at the mortgage in the first place. Then...
