Nice 👍😀

Gillingham at home please

To quote Turkish on another thread, you've gotta control the controllables. People in their twenties ain't gonna get far moaning about how tough it is now compared to when their folks were young. They have to face reality and make sacrifices and choices. That's not bullshit, just an uncomfortable reality. I lost 30% on my first house in the 90's, had hideous negative equity and only got out of the shit through exactly the choices and sacrifices I've mentioned.

Bars

Entitlement gets on my tits. Life's about choices. Nice holidays, nice motor, no house, or a few compromises, own a house. If the big mortgage is too much, don't get one and rent instead.

You've gotta feel for the lad, but it's not an unfair decision. At his best he doesn't offer as much defensively as Rice, Henderson or Philips; as much offensively as Gallagher, Bellingham Mount, or Maddison. This season he's been way below his best, his passing has become negative, and he's just lost his mojo.

Holidays are all but a necessity. Foreign ones aren't. Outside of London, £300-350k buys something decent. 20% is £60-70k. With sacrifices, a working professional couple can save that in a sensible time. Drive a shit car, have cheap holidays, be sensible, it can be done. Leasing a nice motor each, insisting on getting on a plane for every holiday, expensive nights out, it won't happen. It ain't as easy as Whitey makes out, but it's possible.

To be fair, it will. Surveyors are already down valuing...market forces work in a variety of ways.

There's your answer on why it's happening. Anyways, anyone should surely be opposed to a cruel sport that encourages gambling? Repurposing that land for something wholesome like housing seems like a good thing.

Market forces will dictate house prices, and market forces will dictate whether developers prefer to develop from scratch or restore empty property.

I'll comment only on housing. We need more. They need to be built somewhere. Building houses addresses a need and drives the economy. It's a good and necessary thing. The country would be going downhill if we didn't meet housing needs, not because we are.

3 and a half year deal is longer than I expected. Nathan has done well for himself.

Speak for yourself Weston, I need all the help I can get on a Monday and a Wednesday - coke, coffee and haribos don't cut it anymore.

A post on a football forum will sort that lot out SoG, good work 👍

👀Southgate watch 👀

Clever, you international bright young thing.

Thanks for that, much better now, 502 errors earlier and last night.

We now have a full back and Djenepo at full back, rather than a CB and Djenepo. We also have Salisu having a rest. Makes sense to me.

Did you expect cartwheels after an equaliser against Sheffield Wednesday?

Who's the Peter Crouch lookalike to his right?

Cheers, hadn't seen it, the missus has put the bloody crown on.

BBC reporting that he's in the crowd, so it must be happening.

Assuming it's a back 4, Lyanco over Payne makes no sense to me. Disappointed to see that Ballard isn't involved - would have preferred to see him on the bench over Moi or Walcott.

442 I reckon with Lyanco at right back. Would've have preferred Payne there, Lyanco and DCC at CB, and Salisu given the night off.
