You're definitely right here. It's quite common for a family of 4 with two 18+ children to have 4 to 5 cars. Every family was a 1 car at best family when I was growing up.

It is also weird how the improved safety of society through constant monitoring and surveillance has closely overseen a drop in children playing outside. When I were a 'snapper it was expected that, during the summer holidays, I'd be outside all day every day returning only to eat in the evening. There were no surveillance measures for my safety then. With every square inch of society monitored children don't leave the nest. Odd.

It makes the short term decision to save a few pennies on Brendan's sacking look foolish, really. Either way we were going to have to dismiss him. If we had got rid sooner we might well have save a few hundred million in loss of earnings and gained the potential future earnings as leverage.

Are Barcelona still interested?

I mean there's documented evidence of what he's saying in his 'Senior Leadership Experience' doesn't happen happening. I'm saying it's a possibility. Daggers is absolutely refuting this because in his experience it doesn't happen. He hasn't considered the fact that my experience may well be a lot broader than Senior Leadership in a single school but whatever. Teacher, 22, faces 'career ruin' by drink-driving after two glasses of wine - Mirror Online (Oh look - bringing the school into disrepute. Reputational damage!) But of course - it doesn't ever happen because the Senior Leader has spoken. (except it does).

Well I felt it necessary to explain what the public sector entails because your response explicitly referenced teachers. You narrowed it down - I said I was speaking broadly. 'But, fair enough' and 'as far as I'm aware' are, in now way, telling you I know better. The contracts contain the reputational damage clause - I know this first hand as I've worked with them before. You aren't the only one with basic life experience in the public sector. You are the only one saying that they know better. There is documented evidence of teachers losing their jobs over driving convictions. It is objective - the point I'm (finished) making. There is no need to be a condescending dick over it, Daggers, your pointless hostility isn't intimidating to me.

It's the only station I have on in my car. DM if you want me to answer a few questions.

This wasn't a remark that deals with teachers exclusively - there are more public sector workers than the education sector. But, fair enough, I suppose some teachers may not lose their jobs. Although, as far as I'm aware, they do have the strapline in contracts about reputational damage so that would be an objective call based on the morality/ethics of the head teacher. It certainly is a possibility.

I'm not advocating for him to lose his job but this much isn't precisely true. For regular folk this kind of conviction absolutely can cost a job. Anyone in the driving trade right off the bat but a lot of public sector jobs have a little strapline in the contract about reputational damage and this is certainly the kind of conviction that can and has cost jobs.

Get the feeling it's an audition between him and Fatuwu for summer signing and it looks like there's only one winner.

Be my job gone most likely.

If a fine is a punishment for an offense then it isn't a crime for the rich. Should be a fine proportionate to his net worth and not align with what your average drunk driver should face. It won't be, however, and as such won't have the same impact as fining a joiner or a supermarket worker would in preventing reoffence.

I'm doing dry January again - been doing it for a while - and I've been struck by a weird sense of emptiness. Been fine not drinking, and I've done the odd month here and there too, but really weird this time. Just sorta devoid of inspiration this time around.

The style of play is risky for holding on. Particularly when they have fresh legs on to chase down our tired passing. I said at the start of the season and will say again now - there needs to be a plan aside from possession in our defensive third. We can't rely on that to see out games in this division and we definitely can't if we get promoted.

Many people are overlooking the club's role in this. They've worked hard to cultivate a sedate, harmless atmosphere. It is what they want. They'd prefer a ground full of premium price paying day-trippers over fans who sing and holler. The marginalisation of UFS, the clappers, family stand, the servers adverts encouraging you to tattle on rowdy fans, the 'matchday experience', the over policing... It all adds up to this apathy. Don't overlook that the business men and women who are in charge of the games have worked hard on this culture.

The club would sell you bag fulls of the air from Roman Bednar's locker if they thought for a single second you'd buy it.

Disposable run around. Good way of getting a nice looking car for cheap but also a good way of throwing away some money. If you're just looking for something secondary to run into the ground then go for it.

Last sentence is on the money. People are rightly excited for this guy - he looks mustard and football fans love an injury redemption arc. Given the scope of his injury - it was ****ing brutal - rushing him into a physical league into a league chasing team would be foolish. The players will be busting a gut to win every game and the overexertion could be telling. I'd be overjoyed if he played just a few sub appearances over the next couple of months. Plenty of under 23 time will be in his future I'm sure.

On the subject of Casadei - some decent performances but never got going. I'll be amazed if he's in the Chelsea squad in any other capacity than emergency cover.

Never happen. One of the saleable six. The Premier League need this mob in the money and top six to keep all the African and Asian fans happy. The revenue from fans of those continents is more or less contingent on the continued success of those six clubs.

Like begging for an encore that you know isn't coming. It's the last season, isn't it? As much as I like the idea of 'just one more year in the Premier League' I don't see it happening from either party's perspective. The ownership will have to make that last game something special.

How many are you on

Can't find the bloke funny. Type of fella that just repeats shit like 'that's rich coming from you' and gets a cheap laugh. Zero wit - just got a loud voice and set responses.

Imagine it'll be significantly higher next year.

How many priority points did season tickets go for last season?
