  1. That's it ! Just shoot!
  2. Okali on the floor, Thomas just walks through him and kicks him on the head. Lol he really doesn't know where he is sometimes does he
  3. I'm sorry that was Thomas switching off
  4. After last season I forgot how much a shite result and performance ruins your entire bloody weekend.
  5. "I was close to being convinced we were adding two attacking players, but it didn’t play out as we hoped.” “I think we’re close, but we’ve been closer than we feel today" These two lines make me very nervous - basically saying, until the fat lady sings, there's every possibility Rudders can F it up
  6. Where were these new stalls? Outside all I saw were the usual vans?
  7. My point is this, if someone is on minimum wage (let's for a minute assume that the majority of people who are struggling with the cost of living etc are on minimum wage or close to it) how can that business be paying the same salary as 5 or 10 years ago. National minimum wage has gone up considerably.
  8. I am just not sure how this is possible, if you look at the increase in minimum wage since 2010 it's gone from £6 an hour to £11.44 (more than double) - so the only theory is that those who were on minimum wage have had their pay increase at a much higher percentage than those on higher wages and quite possibly those on higher wages have seen a decrease in percentage terms. So on your point with immigration is really not applicable either.
  9. It was more so when it was a terrible ball high into him and then he saved it from going out of play with honestly some really good ball control. I do agree, Mav is first choice but he's definitely not a terrible replacement to have and will prove useful in games.
  10. He has got a lovely first touch, a couple of occasions on the line he had some mahrez-esq first touches!
  11. Clearly his post career lifestyle will be sponsored by Redbull - multi million £ deal to be had there!
  12. Brand new information you just posted - if only you just looked 3 posts up
  13. This is just incredible considering the other players on the list here...
  14. I've always said, the guy is a fraud. Just no energy, footballing intelligence or ability. Cannot be playing him and needs to move on.
  15. Yep great performance, the energy he brought was great.
  16. We're not bottom of the league!
  17. First half - awful and basically we were just pooping our pants Second half - we grew some balls! Buonanotte was absolutely superb, a cut above event other player we had. It's a real shame there's no obligation to buy clause cause he is (on first sight) brilliant. Was strange when he was taken off. Ndidi was shocking until he got moved. I love Fatawu Mads made some great saves And Vardy, well he was no where and then boom.
  18. Fair play to Madders, went around the whole stadium clapping the fans
  19. However we voice our opinion on this forum doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things anyways! - honestly though the safety net for most doesn't exist I feel. It's all a fabrication.
  20. I agree with that if we are talking worldwide, however none of our tax (or a very negligible amount does) - so now if the welfare spend in the UK goes down perhaps our government can help those less fortunate in the 3rd world countries. My point is that some of those who benefit from the welfare system here should take a look at those countries you mentioned and realise what real poverty is and yet how hard some of those actually work. That is the real injustice, not the fact that the wealthy are not "taxed enough" in my opinion. (just on a side note I can almost bet my house on the fact that a very high percentage of donations to those countries and people come from the "wealthy", so again in my opinion trying to squeeze more from them when the system here is broken seems unjust)
  21. Hard work both in an educational factor and a working environment does have merit. Otherwise what is the point. I understand, there are those who work hard but do not see the merit but they are few and far between, the merit isn't always extreme hard work = billionaire, but for those who work hard it most definitely means for the majority that they will not be in poverty or relying on welfare.
  22. To the players or the fans?
  23. paralytic maybe? or do you genuinely mean - "relating to the parameters of something (= a set of facts or a fixed limit that establishes or limits how something can or must happen or be done):"
  24. I always find this an interesting topic and most people join the bandwagon of "the richest must be taxed more" So - The majority of public spending by the UK government goes on public health (£211.6 billion) and welfare (£208.8 billion). A significant portion also goes on interest payments for national debt (£128.4 billion), state pensions (£110 billion) and education (£105.5 billion). Source: https://www.finder.com/uk/stocks-and-shares-isas/tax-statistics Let's break these down, Public Health - it is a well known fact that generally speaking the "richer" you are the better your health - so traditionally the wealthy are a lower burden to the NHS, both because they are generally heathier but also some go down the privatised route which then takes away any burden to NHS spend. Welfare - this is fairly obvious - the "wealthy" do not burden this part of the spend. National debt - now this should be shared amongst everyone rightly so. State pensions - my view on this is that actually the wealthy probably have private pensions which they are more reliant on. Why not just scrap the state pension for those who have personal pensions. Education - again some of the wealthy tend to send their children to Independent schools, so again alleviating the tax burden they contribute to. So now research has shown that the top 10% of income taxpayers contribute around 60% of income tax. The top 50% of income taxpayers contribute the vast majority of income tax payments (90.5%). So it begs the question - why should the "wealthier" contribute more tax? - I hear arguments like "but they are so rich they can" etc etc. If someone works hard their entire life to get to that "wealthy" bracket and another is happy to sit at home and not entertain the thought of hard work and lives of welfare, why is it fair that the 1st person has to fund the lifestyle of the 2nd - I know these are two extremes but you get my point. I understand that their are millions in between these 2 people. So let's take a look at the 2 biggest spends - health and welfare - one of the "easiest" ones to reduce is welfare, get more people into work, there are 1000s of jobs but a lot of people don't want to work (for various reasons, including them seeing the job as beneath them, not feeling like they will get paid enough, health reasons, etc etc) BUT the concept of needs must, have to be drilled into people. At the moment it's far to easy to say - sod it I won't work and live off welfare as it's "easier" and sometimes more lucrative. - this in a lot of occasions leads to unhealthy lifestyles and then further burdens the NHS. The government need to work on this. No offence intended by my post and I understand that there are people who really do need the welfare system to survive, but it's those "abusing" the ease of the welfare system which need to be looked at before we start asking for more and more tax from the wealthy.
  25. This is so important, IF we manage to survive, we could build and really push on to get to where we were, if we get relegated, I fear for the worst, a repeat of the league 1 drop levels. Our management team have royally f'ed up with the PSR stuff, plus the lack of real cutting edge. From the Albrighton Fozcast, he believed the new training ground and the fact that it was like a spa really made our players lose that drive, it was basically like going to a spa everyday. I hope that they cut out all that stuff for this season and really give the players a kick up the arse!
