BBC had the golden goose when the concept of a Netflix style service was showing its leg. They had an enormous catalogue of content and could have removed the shackles of the license fee and dominated parts of this industry. They have well and truly missed the boat, and any additional/optional charges they try to introduce will largely fail, mainly due to the shit content compared to other services.

The current rhetoric is all about a European joined up approach to try and add pressure on Russia regarding accepting a ceasefire/peace deal. it is entirely laughable to suggest we are all in domestic sort of war posture right now.

So much to unpack here…. Just can’t be bothered

I see the BBC are floating the idea of commercials and a new "subscription" service, as it faces financial ruin. All of their own doing....

"you're getting sacked in the summer"

Why does it have to be a direct flight? Fecking hell, there were Afghani asylum seekers going back there on holiday....did they swim?

Make it far less inviting, absolutely. The country cannot afford it.

I am talking about anyone who comes here, either legally or illegally. Break the law, back you go. Pretty straight forward. And no one can access penny for a period, and certainly no one can come over legally and not be in an entirely self-sufficient situation. The UK being 'treasure island' is not really working for the majority. Better to stop it now as this is the path we are on anyway. Of course, you will say you cant do that because of this, that or the other. I will then repeat anything is possible if there is a will to do so.

Benefits/support, nothing... We allowed them in, we can allow them out. Quite simply, put them on a plane this afternoon. Anything can happen if there will to do it is there. As for stupidly following the US into Afghanistan, that was effectively a NATO operation, which we all champion right? And anyway, it was the single biggest terrorist attack on UK civilians, which was always going to have some sort of retribution. Granted, that morphed into something very different.

I see all the great and good are telling us the country is on a 'war footing', and our kids may have to fight. in other news, Iraq has WMD and will destroy us all in 45 mins

It is a start. Throw in absolutely no benefits/anything to people who come into the country illegally and who come over to no self sufficient legal income. This the path we are on anyway, may as well get on with it

What ever keeper we get will surely join to challenge for the No.1 position. Which, if that happens, should have happened in the summer....not as if it was blindingly obvious

Put them on a plane to Afghanistan later today.

As people keep saying, there is nothing we can do……

Basically, we are now a long term championship club, as there is no chance SR will take us back up this time.

Ah right.

Just read that we will get slightly lower parachute payments in year 2, before a big drop in year 3, then nothing.

I thought you get 4 years of parachute payments. They just drastically reduce in years 3 + 4 (if you are not promoted)

They never said no buys, just not busy. it will be a loan anyway.

So much for fixing the striking doctors issue Oh well

My team would be.... McCarthy, Someone at RB, THB, Stephens, Manning, Downes, Jander, Azaz, Fellows, Leo, Arma Charles would come in when/if fully fit. Romeu could come in when needing more solidity in a midfield 3. Better for Robinson when coming on than playing RWB
