Penalty!

We’ve started okay here.

Chances of Fatawu getting sent off here is quite high I’d say ….

We’ll never know if that hit Fatawu on the arm, as the camera angle was looking at another point of the pitch from space.

Mavididi should score

Where have they wiped up this camera angle from? It’s like when you go around to your mates and he’s got FIFA on a different setting.

What sort of camera angle is this? And how haven’t Bristol scored?

Scumbags that do scumbag things is a much, much better way of looking at this.

The Camp Nou was my first ever in person game I went to, so I keep an eye on Barcelona from a distance. I supported them until I started to really follow Leicester. Like others have said, it’s not really the same. I think I’d just be more passive to the sport in general and I could see myself watching more of the Leicester Tigers.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly31xqnv2go I’m surprised this sentence is so lenient, having read the further context it had on all Involved on LeicestrshireLive

Yes, it’s the scary reality of where this road leads unfortunately.

Did they not do a stage version at one point? Who’s paying to go and watch that!

I noticed Morrisons had Turkeys in the 3 for £10 section on the online app last night. Conveniently sold out! I didn’t know if it was a bug or they’d messed up

I think to semi draw a line under this, having travelled extensively it’s quite clear that different countries have completely different cultures. That’s different cultures toward other humans, not just women and children. I say stereotypically British isn’t even the same as the “West” Is perceived. It’s almost everyone should be asked if they’re prepared to wait in a queue, to order a pot of tea, then when questioned why they’ve arrived answer with the place the came from “not being too bad”, to prove they have a stiff upper lip. They must love a pub and a Sunday roast, full English breakfast, fish and chips and be obsessed with the Royal Family. Jokes aside though, my personal opinion is that they should at least adapt to the culture they have entered.

Trump needs to pick a bloody side and draw a line in the sand. He’s only looking after self interest unfortunately. I sort of wish he’d keep out of it and keep his orange coloured and shaped head on his side of the pond out of the way.

Some definite truths in this also. I’d add that socialising has changed in itself, as the number of pubs, clubs, cafes etc has also declined. The world has changed ….

Oh, I don’t disagree on having less inequality 50 years ago. I guess, playing devils advocate, had it maybe come too far the other way, whereby it was easier? Everyone should be able to aspire to do better and have a great quality of life. However do do that we would almost need to be in a very high functioning communist society. Capitalism will always lead to the rich getting richer and a tiered society that has varying degrees of equality. What is bonkers, is the likes of Musk, Bezos etc, potentially holding a larger % of the worlds entire wealth. I’d say that that number is growing and maybe since the .com boom, this has accelerated this. The worlds top 1% of population must be getting close to holding m 50% of the worlds wealth now, which means other people are getting richer. No right, or wrong answer really, as it’s all down to personal opinions, however for me, I’d say that doesn’t feel right. No point having, what you can’t spend.

I wouldn’t say it’s entirely fallacious. No one can deny that the world is a much, much closer place than it once was and has aspirations that exceed future generations. On the topic of an inequality, it’s always existed hasn’t it? Surely we aren’t saying it’s wider than it was 300 years ago?

We haven’t revived this one yet!! I put my order together last week as I’m cooking for 14 this year. The price has gone up about £100 since last year

The only Christmas TV viewing I’ll be participating in, is Stranger Things on Netflix.

The stereotypical dream was once marriage, house, children. The world has evolved and it isn’t that now. I think bluntly put, the younger generation see less value in marriage and the financial impact of children stops them aspiring to be what they want to achieve. It just isn’t a priority like it was 20 to 30 years ago. The real challenge is that people will need to stand on their own two feet more when they age, or you raise the retirement age to a level where people work longer, thus putting more in and taking less out. Housing, always has and will continue to be a challenge for everyone.I see loads of people quoting things like a house is now 10x the cost of a salary, compared to 2x the cost 30 years ago. The reality is, you aren’t comparing apples to apples. You’ve just got to hustle and grind and buy something that’s half falling to bits to get yourself on the ladder and then slowly upgrade. People can still buy houses as a young age, they just need to temper expectations and stop aspiring to buy the brand new 4 bed house, to go with the brand new car, new phone etc, Joking aside, I see the “Boomers always talk about the daily coffees we buy from Starbucks / Costa”. It’s the little step changes that make a difference and add up. 5 x £4 / week on coffee is £20 - £1k a year 1 x Night out at £100 a week - £5k a year New car on finance at £200 / month - £2.4k a year Sky / Netflix / Disney - £700 a year Holidays - £4k a year The list is endless when you start budgeting and you don’t need to give it all up. However you cut that amount and put stuff away it’s easier to chase the dream. People just live in a generation where everything is on finance, everything is needed now and the step reality is having children is a massive financial burden that is a huge obstacle in attaining what they aspire to be.

Coventry away ….

I don’t really know what to make of this World Cup. The draw was severely cringeworthy. FIFA itself is a bit of a joke. Everyone will watch it, as it’s the World Cup, however it’s not exactly in a place the world wants to watch football. I feel sort of luke warm toward it like I did Qatar; which was a total joke.

Best thing that ever happened to Liverpool was Ramos wiping him out in the UCL Final. I despise them more than any other club.

Bossed by this pair!
