No post mortem has ever resurrected a corpse Weston. We're here for a variety of reasons. Brexit, covid and the associated waste/fraud/dodgy contracts, Ukraine/fuel cost fall out, quantitative easing, SD breaks driving up house prices, over borrowing, a weak pound leading to imported inflation, and some other stuff. Personally I'm not getting into a discussion as a) some people fixate on one of the elements (eg brexit), b) quite a few like a whinge about the situation but offer no view on what they think should be done, and c) ultimately, what's happened has happened and isn't reversible by the current government. Sure, lessons can (theoretically) be learnt to reduce the chances of future fuck ups, but Hunt did about all he could yesterday bar perhaps a wealth tax, a hit on the likes of Amazon, and a bigger levy on the fuel companies.

Sad to hear. There'll be many more casualties unfortunately.

You got lucky. In the 90's we were on a variable rate when the rates went mental, then slipped into massive negative equity, and had to live off barely a tenner a week for food and life. We got out of it, but it wasn't fun. Repossessions will soar unfortunately.

I suspect it'll be more. One time bomb is negative equity, and high reversionary interest rates, when people come to the end of their fixed rates. Very interesting times ahead.

I agree with him. It's obvious that he meant to see how they perform in something like a first team environment. We know how they perform for the B team, hence wanting to see how they get on in first team games when there's less on the line.

He was something else. Had as much ability as any player I've seen play. Shame he was crocked.

Condescending prick. Tell me what a debate on a football forum will achieve. We're here. It's a mess. In life and business, I live in solutions. Dwelling on problems that I can't solve achieves fuck all.

I'm just saying a debate about why we're here is futile. The solution changes the mess we're in, not the debate about why we're here. Different outlooks on life methinks - I prefer looking forwards.

Level

That project is, and always was, a farce. Complete waste of money from the start. I'd imagine the costs of breaking contracts mean we're stuck with it. Expect the inevitable £25b + overspend.

Wasn't that a reserve game at the dell, possibly Pompey? Beat a man or two, jinked just into their half out wide, then put it over the keeper and in. Great goal whoever it was against. First team wise, the stand outs for me in modern ish times were Osvaldo Vs city and Boufal Vs WBA. Going back, any number of MLT goals, and I'd love to have been at the game for that Danny Wallace overhead kick, and that Channon goal. We've scored some crackers down the years.

Understood. Brexit has been shit. Posh bread is too pricey. The two may be linked, but a discussion on here won't get you any solutions.

No

I cba with a debate as to why. We are. The discussion should be the way out of it. We can't borrow more. We can't spend much less. We can't tax much more, at least from the masses.

What did Reeves say that she'd have done differently? Seems to me that he was about as balanced as he could be given the shit we're in.

If the wages were sensible, yes.

Sinner

It confirms that it's bollocks and that the people who make up the predicted expected goals got it wrong, like the people make up the expected goals, etc.

Weekend

I'd support us whatever league we're in, but I'd prefer it to be the PL. It's the knock on effect for relegation that often gets overlooked - job losses, attracting and keeping young talent, etc.

We've failed to get enough points on the board this season, and given Jones an awful lot to do. Sadly I can't now see another 3 teams finishing below us. As much as I'd like us to stay up, our journey back up last time was brilliant, and I'd fancy our chances of a quick bounce back if the inevitable happens.
