  1. Interviewer: Can you tell us why you were subbed? Saints Player: Aaaaaarrrrgh! Interviewer: Do you think you think you could have played on with your leg at that angle? Saints Player: Aaaaaarrrrgh! Interviewer: Do you mind that interview gets in the way of your treatment? Saints Player: Aaaaaarrrrgh! Interviewer: So, when will you be back? Saints Player: Two weeks.
  2. It's been a very long time since there wasn't an annual release (even before it was FM?). So, I imagine they'll still be looking to get a release out there. They can argue that 6 months on a title is still good value, even if they don't discount it a bit. Considering they're using this as the basis of years to come, getting it right ( without various add on modes) is vital for them.
  3. As you say. Command and control center according to rep on the radio.
  4. Another Nile Ranger cautionary tale https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgryqewrykjo
  5. I did hear both of them talk about uniting the party. One of them mentioned appealing to the centre, with the other mentioning the breadth of the party. Sort of bolted on to the rest of their comments, and possibly added by an advisor in felt tip after the rest of it was written. I've posted on how disappointing and untrustworthy Starmer's lot have become. So, imagine what I think of Jenrick. Stunned he's anywhere near public office after the property scandal. Leaving Badenoch, who must be loved by the loons on the right of her party, considering some of her comments. Over at Labour, they can now adjust their policies to come in over a longer timescale.
  6. Like spoiled children caught stealing. Entitlement (it's in the rules we fixed! Grifting is the way things are!); diversion (the other kids lie and are crooked too!); Can't see what they did wrong ( I'm paying back some of it...because...something...but I wasn't wrong); further lying (they weren't there! the tickets were for someone else! No pile of freebies changes our mind at all!) So avoidable by any party who actually had an interest in reducing troughing and corruption. Instead, it's just another lot of the same, who can't be trusted to run a tuck shop. Meanwhile, big changes to worker rights...
  7. It must have bothered Starmer. He paid some of the ticket prices back. Can't imagine why he'd do that if it was considered to be so normal.
  8. I'm not exactly jumping with joy at some gotcha moments against labour. It's more another cycle of disappointment at seeing yet another group of entitled troughers.
  9. Sky showing the devestation...of hurricanes from previous decades. Just the saturation of 24/7 news channels.
  10. Did anyone go to the Taylor Swift concerts, who wasn't a politician on a freebie? Home secretary attends as husband (Ed Balls) gets 4 tickets, so she doesn't have to directly declare them. She would later push for the increased security demanded by Swift's management. Scotland Yard reluctant to give that level of security, based on intelligence. The papers indicating they were persuaded, following discussions with Cooper. After Vienna, I can see why Swift's team would look for security increases. I can see why politicians would want to endear themselves to the Swift bandwagon. However, whatever the separate security and intelligence available now has a needless smell of collusion around it, because politicians can't keep clear of freebies. Swift tickets were among some of Starmer's selected repayments.
  11. The game wound down after the 4th. VA will hopefully use this as fuel for better performances going forward. Second best on the night.
  12. 4-1 Caught on the counter. VA well beaten on what I've seen this half. Outplayed, outfought with some defensive madness for good measure.
  13. Another dither at the back nearly lets Orleans in again. Booking given for taking out their player before that happened.
  14. 3-1 with VA conceding another penalty (looked a bit soft). The move caught VA upfield a bit, as Orleans happy to lower the pace. VA with a speculative effort and a header that was easily dealt with.
  15. Opening minute and a massive lack of decision making between keeper and defender let's them through. That and a shot a few seconds later and could well have been 3-1
  16. Nice one touch passing move gets a corner. Nothing from it and that's the break.
  17. A bit of a stinging comment against the poor mascot.
  18. Just tuning in before end of first half. 2-1 down.
  19. We shouldn't rule out going for a Luton manager from the last few seasons, considering how well they...oh... 🙂
  20. Dawson later arrested attacking the rest of the royal family with a sword ahead of a Punch magazine deadline.
  21. Clever clubs assessing the risk of having an unproven manager enter his first PL job, could have negotiated clauses into his contract. For example, if 0 points are obtained after 10 league games, then either party can end the contract for an agreed amount. It protects the club, is negotiated to be a fair deliverable by both parties and will give the manager some recompense, while giving him every opportunity to avoid the trigger event. Martin can have a similar clause reducing the asking price if either Barcelona or Man City come calling for his possession based style.
  22. "Sometimes players let us down and players let us down [on] Tuesday, absolutely let us down. "I took responsibility for that but we bounced back today with a wonderful performance and I'm really proud of the football club." His taking responsibility, while blaming others hasn't gone anywhere.
  23. These. For all the safeguards that supporters want to put at the start of this, even with the best of intentions, we can look to other countries to see how that worked out. Do you trust social, economic, health, administrative and political practices and outcomes to always do the best thing for vulnerable people? If it's a "not always" then it's to be avoided.
