Lump on then, you'll get attractive odds!

He's shown the direct opposite of what we'll need to rebuild, i.e. acumen, lack of sentimentality and an iron grip on the finances. Rudkin OUT

Obviously won't end well

On balance, we're probably going down. Finances are FUBAR regardless of whether we pay Ruud off. If there's a better candidate for the rebuild then go for it. Operative is "better"...

Sometimes have to credit the attackers...

Mixed views on this. Looking back both Vichai and 'Top' have previous on letting things spiral! We gave Sven, Ranieri and Rodgers the players they wanted and extended contracts of others at their behest. That's how things got out of control. Nige/Walsh and Puel/Macia's spells buck the trend. They're the basis of our periods of success. What do they have in common? Structure and nous. Credit where it's due: Vichai appointed them. IMO the most damning reflection on our KP era 'board' (including Rudkin!) has been what's happened when these strong characters didn't have a hold of the reins. Sporting decisions have been a s**tshow.

Crikey that's bleak :-) Minded to agree on said "clowns", but there's still a decent chance we can stay up!

Well, I guess the trolls will crawl back under their bridge until we concede the next goal? (Written in hope rather than expectation!) FWIW still *way* too early to judge RVN. I agree with others who note improvements in organisation, even during recent defeats. Also with Vards that we've played well in halves, but have lost confidence after conceding. That changed today, so I'll take that as a cautious positive. Let's see how he integrates any new players.

He's a talent. Credit Ruud for building our attack around BEK, with the benefit of developing *our* asset.

"Undermine the team"? Palpable nonsense

Trump said "tariffs". Trump's a very stupid liar indeed. We all know this. Just over half of the voting public in USA didn't care. Buckle up.

Do Russia do much trade with US? Does Trump even know or care before spouting?

Washington squeaked the W against the Eagles in regular season, when Hurts was out with concussion. If Hurts' knee keeps him out, can see a very tight game. If it snows - total lottery! Now for a humdinger... Ravens at Bills!

Thanks Tom! Food for thought indeed. Not sure anyone was paying list price for a Leaf three years ago - they were already miles behind the curve! But I do appreciate your basic point: technology moves on, and it impacts the value of your (older) car. I really worry about these private PCP agreements in general - a wider issue. So I guess you wouldn't want to sell me a new Nissan EV put of principle then! Cash buyer, and in the market... :-)

Isn't this the same as any car, and dependant to a significant extent on make/model? Not sure what you sell, and how they perform against the market? (But agree in principle there's value in going second hand - same as with any car!) (I'll stop typing about EVs now, but one last thing to add. From experience I'd not choose a just-launched model. There's a lot of new technology involved. Who wants to be a beta tester when you're spending that much money?! It takes a while for the manufacturers to fix the gremlins.)

I think the OP would appreciate serious advice, not pie-in-the-sky stuff! I reckon you know better MPH - this is plain daft! To be fair, there are clearly significant reasons to think carefully about making the switch to EVs. Environmental considerations are one: "dumping" older cars, environmental costs of manufacturing a new car etc. High initial cost is another. Key issue is whether home charging is viable - it's obviously going to work best if you've got a drive. But holding our for the next unicorn technology is either blindly following some petrol company-funded guff (e.g. Mail, Telegraph opinion pieces) or naive.

Just shy of £900 fitted. Believe a good box costs around £500. Cost of fitting will depend on your personal situation, e.g. whether your fuseboard can accommodate without modification.

Me too

To a point this may be true, but it's *much, much, much, much, much* better to have one if you want to take advantage of low-price overnight tarrifs. Also need to be honest with folks that our standard UK 3-pin sockets are really not designed to draw the current on a consistent basis that EVs require - be aware of safety concerns. It *can* be done, but it's not a wise choice. Wall charger is a good investment for now and the future. You'll fit one at some point; might as well crack on. If you're so inclined, I've heard it's one "home improvement" that actually adds to the value of your house!!!

Cooper-defending is up there with being anti-Pearson in the weirdness stakes

Not sure about that! Plenty of chances gone begging, no?

Most organised team performance since Enzo

Don't agree. Used appropriately, Faes and Vestergaard can play at this level. Key is "appropriately", i.e. no high lines and/or weirdly advanced fullbacks with Vestergaard in the team! While they both have their limitations, they're the best available to us. It's down to the manager to play to their strengths rather than their obvious weaknesses. Enzo got this (although admittedly it's far easier to play higher if you control the ball!)

Missed FG is a hammer blow, but Packers defence is holding up well

Looking like another one-sided beatdown Fly Eagles Fly
