I love Opera bar. Not been there for a while!

Clearly there is a much more informed higher class of fan on FT. Also there is us, but you can't have everything.

This is literally the role of the whips office, in both parties.

No indeed, so we will have to work around it, and make sure we are not taken advantage of in the meantime.

Unless by benefit you mean sacking and prosecution I’m guessing not.

It’s already on that part though, so what is your plan to avoid it so we can get on with saving the planet?

Makes no sense - if investing in your training facilities etc is not counted as expense for psr, then nor should sale of such facilities. What next selling the stadium?

Jet lag, ie a work trip killing the following weekend.

I solved this by reading them about 35 years ago.

Literally no attempt to answer the question in the title.

Yes please!!

Is electoral reform going to encourage good people back into politics? Or let the main parties drop whoever they like into parliament via a list od candidates who don't need to win a single vote?

Starmer doesn’t need to be charming, engaging or exciting. Boris was that and look where that got us.

I mean that’s crap obviously but it’s not actually stealing is it?

Who is stealing money from the public purse presently?

Yeah they did very well in that period, no one wins everything over that many years, not even Man City,

Pigeons? Hah.

The insanity that is the current PSR rules makes clubs sell home grown talent and buy other talent of the same value just because it helps the calculation.

Possibly, but there is zero chance he changes his gameplan. It might even be more effective in the Prem as we won't face the low block nearly as often as we have in recent months. We do need a faster centre back though, and a propoer number 8.

I am delighted you've found your niche after all these years!

Unfortunately anyone saying that we should change the funding model to decentralize decision making seems to be shot down and everyone starts screaming about privatization. Very difficult.

Wanna bet?

Indeed. What I would now like to see is him appointing a top tier Director of Football.

I had a minor meltdown at the hot dog counter when they handed me a bun with what can only be described as a non-existent slice in it and the hot dog balancing on top. They had bags of buns like it. It was impossible to eat so I gave up.

Many theories on why they are why they are, but certainly the US is a society which varies hugely by state. Atlanta couldn’t be more different to Oregan. Neither have it right imo.
