I know 3 young people who left last year. One went to Taiwan, another Dubai, and the other to Jersey. 2 went to try their luck, and with next to nothing behind them, and the other because they bought into a business and wanted the Jersey life. The latter will make it, and would have made it here but saw a market audience, whereas the first 2 will probably plod along and earn well ish as employees. I wouldn't be surprised if that's fairly typical of the youngsters leaving us behind. Re, the FTSE, I'm not surprised, and the FTSE all share index is up 12.5% over the last 6 months - a very healthy sign. S&P, Dow Jones, CAC, DAX, all well below.

Ask yourself whether 2 will deal with it better or worse. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Great contribution mate. 4231, with 2 crap CB's, and lightweight players all over the pitch, will get absolutely bullied by Millwall.

People keep on saying this. 4231 leaves us even more exposed defensively. 433 leaves nowhere for Azaz. They'll ping crosses in all day and I'd prefer a 3rd CB in there dealing with that personally.

They bullied us at their place. We need strength and size out there today.

Blimey. Bless him. Perhaps he needed it in bold.

New Years Eve. What a load of bollox. Amateurs night.

The hat in a Christmas cracker is actually a crown. Who knew.

Indeed, and I'm not sure what point anyone is actually trying to make. The whole thing doesn't cover labour or the Tories in glory. The Tories giving him citizenship in 2021 was daft, ditto the Tory and Starmer's volte face, ditto the PM taking such an interest in this bloke, despite him having become a citizen.

That doesn't make sense. How is having one less defender on the pitch a good thing when the ones still playing are crap? Putting another CM in there and going 433 addresses that issue, but then there's no room for Azaz. 4231 and the players fit, but those 2 x CB's are so exposed.

You want 433? If we go a back 4 it'd surely be 4231, so no more protection for the CB's, and one less of them. He could go full hipster and invert a full back I suppose.

Yep. 4 at the back and the full backs aren't getting forward, or are left exposed if they do. That said, I'd like to see us play a 4231 and see how we go.

We're worse than that.

It's clickbait. One has gone to join her parents after her business went to shit, another is on a short term post grad visa, and the other thinks South Africa is the ultimate destination for a white Brit.

Yep, predictable, although Duck trying to pretend he's a modern man is a novelty.

Good to hear, and in all seriousness, believe in whatever you choose, or nothing at all. Just enjoy the occasion and time together. Happy Christmas.

A climb down is akin to u turn. Announcing it after parliament ended is poor form too.

Massive

It was you who called yourself that.

The poor players need a bit of empathy. Jeez. Many of the comments are on point. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/ckgzwq58zkqo#comments

Where's a mod when you need one.

Amen to that. Although, left to me, calling a cunt a cunt would be the right thing to do.

Indeed. I think a lot of right leaning folk think that anyone to their left is on the left. Ralph has a unique outlook, bless him.

What are the policies? It's not hard. If there are any.

None of that answers the question you can't answer - what are the labour imposed policies that have led to rent increases? If there's a policy, explain. Saying that Rigsby and his mates have told you is utter pony. As to the limited detail. S.21 simply means you can't boot tenants out on short notice. I think it's a daft change btw, but the only impact it has on rent is that some landlords are booting tenants while they can and locking in new at higher rents. That's a landlords choice. Decent landlords - I am one - like long term tenants who look after the place and aren't fussed by s21 going. I have no idea about any regulatory changes to agents, but a) letting agents aren't needed - I've never bothered,and b) if they're starting to be regulated properly, it's about time.
