You’ll be surprised, people rise as quickly as they’ll fall. There’s a lot of pressure on Labour to sort out; immigration, housing and the NHS. With the global political situation, the demands for increased defence spending as well as increasing interest rates will take money away from...

The Tory party will find a way to repurpose itself. It’s been one of the organic and flexible political parties in the western world. For better or worst depending on your viewpoint. Some interesting parallels with the Canadian Tories as Farage pointed out who themselves have been took over...

The electorate wants net migration to be reduced. Pre-Tony Blair the figure was less than 50k per year and the latest figures it’s up to 750k or thereabouts. Even Keir Starmer gave the ‘read my lips’ followed by a promise to get net migration down. I’m not sure the state can manage as the...

I imagine we’d be in for Windass on something like a 2 year deal d for experience and versatility. Both played a similar amount of games and Windass scored more goals and more assists. In a straight shootout, I’d opt for Windass. It’s not an inspiration signing though, it must be said.

I did see they believe that PL football should be aired free. No idea how that is practical…

Well, immigration is an issue in this country that could truly turn toxic if it’s not resolved this election. The electorate thought Brexit would resolve the issue and it hasn’t and people are angered by this, left (blue labour) and right alike. A quick look over the pond to the continent and...

They owe £190m in transfer this summer and have £2m coming in. They don’t have a pot to piss in. I’d have been worried had they got promoted. MVE is a players we shouldn’t even entertain selling for a penny below £20m all in. He’s got a lot of attributes to suit PL football from Day 1.

He’s not hiding that’s his end goal. Pre-election announcement, Farage standing to reform added a few % points to Reform which will cannibalise Tory vote. We need something to shake up the old order of things and only the Greens and Reform offer alternatives for the left and right respectively...

You can be both simultaneously depending on who you talk to… 😂

I can’t remember which year it was, either FIFA 10, 11 or 12 and John Carew played for Stoke - perhaps a Jan update. One of my mates went on a stupid 30-something winning streak against 4-5 of us it was a piss take. The thing is, ‘normal’ 4.5-5 stars it was even stevens. John Carew still gives...

Some experience is need and as long as the contract is favourable, it could be a good signing. First impression isn’t amazement though to be honest!

Us or France! Spain are a team I always feel are a bit overhyped as a hangover from the 2008-2012 era. The same passing ability but without the greatness of that team.

Right, thank you for that! I’ll get on the website at 10:30! Thank you!

I seen this on the website and I’m looking to get my seat next to mates who have a STH in their groups who are not renewing. My understanding is that those seats of people not renewing will be released on Friday, is that correct?

This doesn’t surprise me but I hadn’t seen the data to support my bias. His passes have also got less progressive too, so I don’t think him leaving will be a disaster. It’s nowhere near losing a Hamer, Vik or Sheaf. He could be all action but perhaps needs a proper preseason and to get out of...

I thought they’re released on Friday but for some reason we need to secure our seat by 10:00 today. I’m in the FZ and need to move out because my brother is no longer an U18.

If you actually care about the NHS, the worst thing you could do is pretend everything is all ok and money will just solve all the problems. It’s wishful thinking and even Labour accept that is not a tenable long term solution. There’s no easy answers and without meaningful reforms, the NHS is...

It’s from one of Attlee’s biographers. The decision to reintroduce prescriptions caused Bevan, Harold Wilson and others to resign from government. It was a twofold issue, there was a pressing need for defence spending (as it is today) as well as people overusing the new service. Then there’s...

No they’re not. In France, private health insurance patients can’t skip the queues like they can in this country. This apprehension around reform and considering other concepts that other healthcare systems do compared to us is a blocker to fixing the issues we have. It’s paranoia to think...

The argument was made by Attlee’s government (including Bevan) and his early Tory counterpart McLeod. The exact quote is something about being a deterrent against ‘overwhelming surgeries’. Again, since its inception the issue of extra costs have been floated about. Specifically around GP visits...
