And the Daily Express predicted this week's heatwave....

Fair point

Don't get me wrong, I think it's more unlikely than likely, but I'm wondering if we've totally ruled it out as an option....?

I still reckon there's a chance we might get Ings back on a one year deal (just a hunch, nothing more)

Definitely feels there might be more to this transfer than meets the eye.... #MeansToAnEnd

Maybe Sport Republic should kill two birds with one stone and buy Bordeaux at the same time....

Booooom!

Because tongue-in-cheek comments potentially have more comedy value when they're more extreme....

If Truss becomes leader I'll have to consider joining the Labour Party

Thanks for that mental imagery

The spitfire first entered into service on 4th August 1938, so might coincide with that anniversary I guess?

Welcome back to the forum Alps. We've certainly missed your positive slant on everything. Please don't ever go away again. We're going to need your valuable input as the season progresses 👍

It's quite warm (This post was brought to you by On Topic Inc.)

That's quite a high IQ for a politician to be fair.

Fairy nuff.... Just not seen such an arrangement before. All good

Bit odd. Why's that?

Assessment of Winks from my Spurs supporting friend.... "He is ok, a bit of a sideways and backwards sort of player though, rather than being really creative. Reliable. Oliver Skipp came through the academy and took his spot so he is a bit back in the squad now. Would be decent for you though."

Do your family have any insights into why he went from being lauded by many and playing for England to someone who is now viewed as distinctly mediocre by some? Is it an attitude thing? Injury related? Or was he simply over-hyped in the first place? Cheers.

I agree that he's gone backwards in his development and not fulfilled his potential, but that doesn't necessarily mean that his career wouldn't be rekindled by a move elsewhere. There's different reasons why certain players' careers can go stale. A player that was hailed as having potential to become "England's Iniesta" must have something about him. Who knows why that potential was never realised. Maybe a move to a new club is what he needs to re-spark the flame...? (But, I concede, that the opposite could also be true!)

I'd probably go for something akin to the German healthcare system if we were to start again from scratch https://www.expatica.com/de/healthcare/healthcare-basics/german-healthcare-system-103359/
