Yeh I've been in a few times and it's decent

Has anyone been to Elbow room in Hinckley? Not a ''pub'' but full of real Ale boffins and if you're into that kind of thing it's very popular. Its sandwiched into the Crescent which means you can nip to poundland and superdrug beforehand, depressing.

She has also claimed £3,700 of cost towards her own heating before cutting the winter fuel allowance

Hopefully a few NHS seniors are found guilty of not reporting her sooner. Shock horror another NHS scandal

Gettin on it - drunk

I’m not a massive Agee fan, just feel it could be the right decision. Haul him on 60 mins if he’s crap

It’s not a cliche - just a hunch!

Ayew needs to start v Palace, ex club etc - bound to score.

He's away on holiday - back next week, I'll catch up with him then and update the thread. Cheers

Agreed and they aren't, and to effectively U turn on a policy that is completely anti left wing is bizarre '' look how tough we are, we are making the decisions that matter bla bla'' Pensioners suffer because they caved on generous settlements with unions. The pension uplft in line with inflation next year is to help with the rising cost of living as a whole and not just to ''cope''with the loss of the winter fuel payments.

The winter fuel pension payment has been a complete cock up and PR disaster for Starmer, what a strange hill to die on.

Something like that - it’s an absolute shambles

Sorry @tom27111 but the Mrs has a Nissan x-trail on loan while her Volvo is being fixed and it’s absolutely naff . Not even got a sat nav!

Sorry my point was not around cost, my point being we all thought he would be class - as did the scouting team, so I was trying to explain (badly) that it’s not easy to get every signing right despite best efforts

Yeh could be a good shout

Not sure what to do with Oct - I can only play with a few days because of work commitments - wife wants to do Disney Land Paris, if it's anything like Orlando I'll have to sell a Kidney. Might do a few days out in this country but the weather is so naff it's not very inspiring. Need something suitable for a 6 year old so a march round the sights in a European capital drinking isn't going to wash.

Chelsea

Leeague Cup is not in the same League (excuse the pun) as winning the Premier League, FA Cup or even playing in the Champions League, those Champons League nights were unreal. If we start wheeling out the fact we won it twice we start sounding like Leeds

Rudkin and the rest of the board you mean. The club isn't in debt apart from your normal leveraged football club, this is a PSR issue related to allowable losses, not how the balance sheet is structured. I agree with your point on the the internal and external lawyers but the rest of it is gash.

I've just pretty much wrote the same thing with a sandwich hanging out my mouth so your piece is worded a bit better

Because if we don't offer the contract someone else will - we also aren't an attractive club compared to other PL teams - location or size of club - so to make it more atractive we probably have to pay slightly more. On the flip side - doesn't mean you give into agent and players demands and roll over, but I suspect we are paying market rate for wages or slightly above - I'm not sure we are out of the ordinary here. We could pay less in wages and offer shorter contracts but you will end up with a team full of average players, it's a tricky balancing act. Also offloading a player who you think is mustard at the time then turns out to be cr*p, it becomes harder.

https://www.88brewery.com/ I don't see the point in this

Theres always a deal to be done with cash paid out up front, but I agree, if I was him I'd sit it out.

This will catch on
