Sheaf Saint

Yep. It's a thing of beauty. Would be really happy with that. So of course it won't be.

He's living the dream. Maximum earning for minimum effort. He's only human, after all.

Except for two crucial goals, yeah no difference at all.

Whereas if you address the socioeconomic issues that cause people to turn to crime in the first place and invest in people's futures, you can achieve the same effect without the need for extra prison spaces.

I wouldn't be so sure. They're clearly vulnerable at the back, if we can play to our strengths and exploit that.

Being run ragged now. If we do manage to win the shootout it will be undeserved IMO.

What more has Schar got to do to get a second yellow FFS? That's at least 3 he should have had by now.

Walker kicking off at Southgate by the looks of it.

Meh. Not great but an improvement on the Slovakia performance at least. Switzerland have looked really threatening in previous games and we've neutralised that threat. Still not looking mega dangerous going forward, but staying patient and waiting for the right moment worked alright for Saints in the playoff final.

Maybe Charlie Austin. Never one to refrain from voicing his opinion. And the saying "it takes one to know one" springs to mind. Edit: I see Sambosa has already confirmed this.

Very much the 2024 version of Danny Fox. An attacking LB who played an important part in our promotion, but whose poor defensive qualities will be ruthlessly exposed in the PL. Seems a great lad and all that, but there's no way we should be relying on him next season.

Did Liz Truss really try and claim that the Tories' 14 years of failure was all the fault of the previous Labour government?

That's not an image I wanted to wake up to 😬

OK then Turks, I'll bite. Taken purely on face value, what he says about people being judged purely on merit rather than skin colour / sexuality is a noble thing to strive for. I genuinely look forward to the day that no such biases exist and everyone is treated equally regardless of their background. But you know as well as I do we're nowhere near there yet. This is basically no different to the "actually, ALL lives matter" response to the BLM movement. While not untrue, it is just a convenient way to ignore the immediate reality of the challenges currently faced by minority groups without appearing overtly discriminatory. And as that subject has already been done to death on here, I'm not going to engage in any further debate about it. However, the one thing that can't be ignored here is who it is that's saying this. If anyone is stupid enough to actually believe anything that comes out of the mouth of this shameless grifter, and that any government including him would actually result in a genuine level playing field for everyone, then they obviously haven't been paying any attention for the last decade or so.

Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere, but Leicester have lost their appeal against their PSR charge... https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c9x83ngge69o

Yeah, this. My 79 year old mum is a lifelong Daily Mail reading Tory voter. Over recent years, she has grown increasingly disillusioned with 'this current lot', and acknowledged a grudging respect for our local Labour MP. But when I have tried to talk to her about the election recently, she closed up again, saying she didn't want to talk politics. I take this to mean that she has fallen hook, line and sinker for the narrative the Mail have been repeating about Starmer planning to raid her pension, and despite everything that's happened over the last 14 years, she will have still voted Tory today because that's what she has always done and she can't bring herself to accept that the entire lifetime of anti-Labour propaganda she has subjected herself to might not have been entirely truthful. At least I know it will have been a wasted vote come tomorrow.

I'm off work with a nasty bout of Covid, but earlier today I dosed myself up to the eyeballs to give me the energy I needed to force myself up to the polling station and hammer in my own nail to the Tories' coffin. Wouldn't have mattered, because I live in the safest of safe Labour seats, but still it's the principle.

This is the same Daily Mail that was telling its readers to be all outraged about tactical voting in the last election when it was being used against the Tories, yeah? Just checking.

He was more than happy to sign his last contract knowing full well he would be back up to Forster. And if we really only want him to stick around until Baz is fit then why have we given him a two year deal? There is another, very simple, possible explanation why he chose to stay rather than go to Celtic or Liverpool... Perhaps he's just comfortable here and doesn't want to relocate his family to Glasgow or Merseyside.

I don't think it's really a case of Southgate having the hand brake on. More like he's tried to put together a sports car using parts from Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus etc.. and what he's actually produced is this...

Ronnie who?

Coming across a great new word that i will undoubtedly be able to use on a regular basis: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/enshittification

Seeing Ronaldo crying.
