Yeah, but that isn’t happening is it? The government isn’t redistributing wealth directly from ‘x’ group to ‘y’. The resources are distributed via public services. So it relies on the tax revenues raised by the government. Now, the assumption is that tax increases lead to more tax receipts...

Thomas and Kitching looked like a top end championship partnership when we first played 4-2-3-1 last season. The drop in clean sheets and increase in ‘unforced’ goals conceded seemed to coincide with McFadz leaving. It could be a coincidence and of course correlation does not equal causation. My...

Binks looks a lot better in a back 3 versus a back 4.

No, you made the claim that putting money into the public sector grows the private sector. If that was true, with government spending and the number of public sector workers at its highest… where is the growth? Why is our tax burden the highest it’s been? The current environment undermines that...

Labour promised 'growth' to be on the top of their agenda. How is that being achieved exactly? I'm not a Labour voter myself, but if I was, I’d be disappointed as many Labour voters are saying to pollsters. How does that work out in your mind? The public sector has been growing significantly...

Robins felt he had a decent job. If we weren’t 2-0 down he wouldn’t have got subbed.

Well, the OBR has worked out low income migration (legal migrant who earns 50% less than median salary) will cost the taxpayer £150,000 by retirement age (calculated from age 25). As you mention, Labour isn’t interested in that. The ‘smash the gangs’ rhetoric remains rhetoric and meanwhile, the...

In any case, I don’t understand how people think the government will magically make inequality disappear by investing in the public services. To use a rather simplistic view of economics, you raise living standard by growing the size of the pie rather than divvying up more equally. The same...

Robins pointed out the experience of when we got battered 5-0 against Luton away and how they targeted that gap between Maatsen and the LCB (probably JCS). Kitching looked alright at LWB. It’s probably given us food for thought should we choose to play 4-2-3-1 again.

The real life consequences of such policies, however, is important and worthy of discussions. In which, the chancellor has conceded there will be an impact on private sector workers. The Resolution Foundation has predicted two decades of zero wage growth. This was supposed to be a pro-growth...

If you think any tax that isn’t VAT, IC or NI does not impact ‘working people’, good for you. Businesses aren’t stupid, they account for these taxes by either reducing pay for workers, freezing hires, relocating or passing increased costs to consumers. Therefore, if you raise a new tax levy...

Do you think it was an honest way to present their taxation policies to the electorate? I, no. Which they proceeded to increase NI. In theory, it is a tax raise on employers. In practice, and Rachel Reeves herself has admitted, will reduce private sector pay rises. Therefore, it’s essentially...

A mealy mouthed responded Pete. Taxing the existing structures is not redefining them. The aim of the tax code ought to be maximising tax revenues and what we seen in the lead up to the budget was the Government begging wealth creators to stay put in the country. It’s naive to put your faith in...

The whole package of tax rises will tax workers indirectly in any case. The whole ‘no tax on working people’ was a lie and Labour was too cowardly to define the first place.

It’s petty class warfare. At the current rate, we’ll only have to put up with this lot until 2029.

It goes to show we need to invest in the infrastructure required to upgrade the academy to Cat 1 (or A whichever it is). Having promising talent snapped up for peanuts is a bit depressing.

Probably the same place as Sakamoto or as a replacement for Haji. Despite primarily being a ST, there were times on Saturday where he operated in wider channels - something similar to his inside forward role in a 4-2-3-1.

Robins and players are right when they say some of the results we had were harsh. We deserved a win at QPR and we didn’t deserve to lose at PNE. It’s small margins and I feel that we’ve had our fair share of things going against us in recent games. It hasn’t been good enough and things still...

What was the last game he got an assist or a goal? He’s a developing player still, capable in his own right agreed but I do not believe he has star quality yet. Him being taken off corners will cut his assists and xA too. A steady 7/10 player is where he’s at atm.

Really? I weren’t overly impressed and believe he thrived more in wide channels where he can isolate a fullback. Centrally, he gets the ball and runs into too much traffic.
