Why is a goal conceded worse than a goal not scored?

Shooting is alright when it goes in the net, but sometimes it goes miles wide, or over. I’m not a fan.

@Nick we’ve got a weird bug of posts from October 2023 showing up as posted today??

Well the only thing that removes governments (other than this one that’s pure self inflicted disaster) tends to be recessions. So comparing 2010, two years after the global financial crisis, to 1997 isn’t comparing apples to apples. When people make weirdly specific statistical claims like this...

As they were in 97. Probably far worse in terms of the state of the public sector buildings at least. I truly think people have forgotten what it was like. But yes, let’s see. I predict a normal Labour govt, you and others predict I’m not sure what, some kind of cross between Thatcher and...

Whatever you want. Just interesting that that’s you’re comparison. Almost like Labour have a track record of producing even when a bunch of people are crying that they’re right wing because they arent offering nationalised Palestinian flags for non binaries.

Curious you use the last Labour govt as a benchmark

It’s fun to say things.

I wouldn’t be hanging my hopes on AI. I think we need to build stuff. I’m worried by how it’s dropped out of Starmers mind seemingly, I guess because the same people that have stopped every other politician from taking on planning reform have stopped him too.

Binks long passing is easily the best of the three.

Thought he looked a lot better alongside Fadz, I’d rather we got an organiser and winner in than a raw kid.

Didn’t they have this argument with snippets? I think the source links underneath will become important from both sides. I think their defence before was people clicking through. Legally it’s a really interesting question. I think the theoretical economic incentives and huge amounts of cash...

Richer people can 100% be taxed more. Wealth can be taxed better but it’s all locked up in housing so it goes straight to “Granny in £1m London flat she’s lived in all her life can’t afford to live there”. Economically correct, morally correct especially in a small country, but politically...

Not worked out how to game them yet then?

Probably said it to the wrong person.

Austerity is by definition making cuts. That’s what the word means.

Davenport once told a lad I was out with in the Colly “don’t you know who I am? I can have you stabbed”. So yeah.

He could be but considering he couldn’t get into a Championship side regularly in his normal position last season I’m gonna say it’s quite unlikely.

It’s not that simple though. A lot of the cuts over the last 14 years haven’t actually saved money. The police station closures, failures to hire teachers/doctors because of the wage freeze leading to more locum/supply pay. Lack of investment in infrastructure leading to anemic growth. I think...

Wouldn’t be paying millions for McNally or Doyle TBH. Neither are what we need.
