    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah famously everyone stops earning once they hit higher rate. I have just stopped asking for promotions at work “no thanks boss, I’d only get 60% of it” I say. Follow me for more financial advice.

    Yeah if a billionaire lost all their money they wouldn’t be a billionaire! Makes you think.

    Early Season Form

    I think people expecting us to show top four form all season are going to be disappointed. Robins always decided to start slow and finish strong, you’ve got to pick that or the Sunderland way of steam to a lead then have a buffer, but miss that and you end up like WBA or Blackburn dropping out...

    Early Season Form

    Wasn’t the start almost identical to the last few seasons? The football was worse, but results wise it wasn’t a million miles off.

    They are shouting as if the ball is out of the corner area until the ref comes over and it’s clearly not and everyone laughs.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Im assuming at least a working majority here, the courts will just interpret the laws. I don’t think we’d end up like the states for the reasons you give, but technically the presidents powers are limited by state rights and congress and the constitution in a way the PMs aren’t. So a reforming...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Something happens to centre left people when they reach a certain height all common sense goes out the window and they start getting silly ideas about fairness and tradition and whatever and get steamrollered.

    Early Season Form

    Im convinced that if you want top three then you need a big squad of quality that you can use to maintain momentum the entire season. Everyone else with normal wage bills to worry about won’t be able to afford enough quality and will rely on purple patches more. It’s not just us that either...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Yeah but I wonder what he’d get away with. So much as we found out under Johnson assumes a decent chap in charge who will have honour. I do think the courts are more independent which is key. But generally PMs with a majority have more latitude than Presidents on paper so there’s an awful lot he...

    Didn’t he appoint something like three of them already?

    Well we can certainly trust them to pass on the costs of not maintaining the network!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Ultimately if you want things better than they are you’re gonna have to pay for them. There isn’t billions of pounds sitting in a tiny minorities bank waiting to be raided, it will be broad based tax rises because that’s what the tories cut before leaving office. The idea you can salami slice it...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    “Wealth tax” is a big vague. IHT is a wealth tax. CGT is a wealth tax. Labour have raised both. Beyond that I’m not sure there’s much evidence of it raising loads. Britains wealth is in pensions and property and good luck taxing them. Income tax can be higher almost across the board though...

    Trump is really showing what a banana republic the US is constitutionally. Would be interesting to see how our democracy would survive a similar assault from the likes of Farage.

    It was 27.6k last season. No way it’s less this year.

    Dean Austin video interview

    Spent more than any head of recruitment in city’s history though I’d say. All good if we also reap more than ever before (be it sales or promotion) but that’s yet to be seen.

    season ticket sales

    Really? I did wonder why there wasn’t even a single in there. Have they not come back on sale after the waitlist or something?

    Things that annoy you

    Generally old infrastructure costs more to maintain and results in more costly downtime. So yeah generally not allowing infrastructure upgrades costs the users of a network. If capacity is low, prices are high, that’s just supply and demand.

    Going to be so good having 75% of the ground full every game. South stand completely sold out. Only one set of two seats together outside family and corporate areas.
