Yes, yes and yes please

Just need to make sure we keep some u18s in the squad and a betting firm paying us so we can keep buying the sponsor free kit.

They see situations blown up by the media who then lie about what's being done. You might be right about calling out the electorate but something needs to be done regarding misinformation on social media and the actual media. I don't mean random shouting about bias, I mean things like Nigel farage owning a share of GB news, who then gone him his own platform and spread actual lies about what's happening.

One might point out that Norway is only one of the Scandinavian countries. Other Scandinavian countries exist that have pretty much phased out fossil fuels. Though tbh, I wouldn't even bother when the debate is with somebody that doesn't debate honestly. Hence why I blocked him a while ago.

Happiest countries on earth are the Scandinavian countries. In general policies that are similar to what Corbyn and now the greens suggest. Notably less national debt, better health, more equal societies, happier populations. Smaller GDPs, less multinationals, less of those billionaires that supposedly hold our country together, yet ordinary people have less reasons to be unhappy.

The difference is that reform policies are BNP policies. Green party policies are pretty much Norwegian policies.

His right hand man? Is he the one that strokes Yaxley-Lennon's ego? He is a massive 🍆 after all

Lack of any striking threat throughout the season is what has done for us. And most the season being pushovers at the back too.

The left doesn't think all businesses are extracting huge wealth. That's where you're going wrong in trying to understand the left. The left thinks that huge wealth is being extracted by very small numbers of people. Huge wealth. Unimaginable sums that are large enough to effect economies. There's a reason why tax rates have increased despite spending cuts - what money there is had been squirreled away by the super rich who don't wish by the same economic roles as you or I. Unless something is done about this tax rates for individuals or businesses won't get much better.

Absolutely have to play the young lad up front that's scored a decent number in the youth set up instead of dumb or dumber

Tbh para the pension isn't enough, although let's remember pension credit exists as a top up for those in need. I think the issue is that many working age people that are struggling see the pensioner cohort - again, not all pensioners, but the average pensioner - vote against the interest of workers and young people again and again and again and again. So when it comes to the issue of generational fairness there isn't much good will left. If pensioners voted to make all ordinary people better off, then this wouldn't be an issue.

Whoever invented the latest ready meal covers that absolutely will not come off and just rip around the edges

Didn't realise that one of the many things not declared by Farage is that he has a stake in the parent company of GB News. Utterly stinks.

It's not a problem. The headline figures given are always the maximum theoretical value if every public sector official retired together and survived at the same time, rather than a realistic annual cost. Public sector pensions have been through multiple rounds of changes during the Tory years. None of them offer what you get told when the papers focus on the old schemes, not the new. They are no longer final salary, they require much more being paid in, the only positive is they are better linked to actual guaranteed changes in cost of living than private schemes that rely on investment returns. So public servants can pay up to 12% of their wages in, much more than private sector workers generally do. And got a much smaller return than previous schemes. Public sector workers accept paying more in but getting a better return on what goes in, in return for accepting much lower wages per skills, experience and qualifications. And the pay they do get is subject to having to work in a post for 5 years before getting paid the going rate. It's often said they get pay rises annually by moving through their pay grades, actually the pay grades exist to hold down their wages until they get the proper rate after five years, it's a cost saving. I am a public sector worker, within a commercial industry, bit hard to explain. I could get paid quite a lot more in the private sector. But I want to feel like my efforts are actually to help the country, not somebody's bottom line. And I accept lower wages on the basis that the pension return is still pretty good, even though I pay in a big chunk of wages. If you cut the pension schemes further, you're going to have to pay a lot more out in wages, which I suspect would actually cost more per year as that is to a huge living cohort of staff, rather than to pensioners whose time receiving a pension is more limited. Also, why do we consistently have to punch down? Why do we attack the public sector pay and pensions, benefit recipients etc, and never want to attack those extracting all the value from the economy? Why don't we fight for better pensions the private sector, rather than trying to drag everybody down? I can never understand the mindset of right wing supporters that are ordinary people.

In the accounts it talked about something like £120m that the club hasn't drawn down from KP, available should it be needed.

I'd make the argument they cut all other areas of public spending to enable the transfer of the national wealth to the rich personally. There is definitely an issue of generational fairness now, pensioners are hugely better looked after than everybody else. They also don't help themselves as a big proportion of them constantly argue that they should be special cases and how much harder they worked etc, all nonsense. But actually they haven't taken from others to get their increases, there's just less liquidity in the economy than there should be because ever greater sums are locked away as assets to the super rich.

Unions are tricky as it's hundreds of thousands of mini donations put together though I get your point. Something has to be done about political funding. All the noise new labour had around cash for access yet never a peep about big donations to all parties. It's clearly buying influence. I'd also suggest foreign ownership of UK media needs to be looked at closely. We have overseas oil billionaires funding channels that pump out one sided information, with presenters that lead parties also funded by oil billionaires, who are convincing the country that drilling for oil couldn't possibly be curtailed. And other similar arguments like free ports (areas where national law doesn't apply), net zero etc. If the arguments against those things are stronger on their own merits fine, but the way they push false messaging is really not right. We need ofcom to have teeth and I guess there'd need to be another body with teeth to deal with political donations.

There's a large number of players out of contract and another large number that won't want to play in league 1. There's a large chunk of money set aside for us by king power. Between these three things hopefully we'll be okay.

I think I took an interest when you mentioned them and ended up buying in. Not much unfortunately!

Amazed anybody thinks JJ will be staying.

Honestly I wish we'd stop holding our tongues. I have endless respect for the Spanish leader for just fronting up to trump and saying no. Or even Mark Carney who is being pretty clear. We need to stop pandering to a US that is anything but a trustworthy ally now.

Yep At the moment I'm watching psg in the champions League. Everybody running forwards. More teams seem to be breaking away from the man city era 11 behind the ball and just keep the ball style football. I want to see players running forwards for Leicester.
