That they've charged him isn't a suprise, but the timing is a disgrace. Impossible to predict the penalty, but I'd imagine it'll be a ban. If it was to be a slap on the wrists, they'd have done that a while back, but they wouldn't have wanted part of a ban to burn out before the players are back. This feels like a bit of a stitch up in the making.

If Starmer had died suddenly or in tragic circumstances, do you think the flag wavers would have mourned or celebrated his passing? We all know the answer, so let's stop with this 2 tier mourning bollox.

I'm not sure what makes you think there'd be a different reaction to a brutal murder of a politician based on whether they're on the left or the right. I think this is a you issue.

Harrison Reed coming back this way would be nice. He'd surely be surplus to requirements there if they sign Charles.

I thought they said not politically linked initially, but may be wrong.

I think people that often see, and don't see, whatever suits their narrative. And yep, reporting doesn't help.

I'm not sure that's the case. What's odd in this case was the police initial comments, not the media. Being so quick to say that the murder of a politician wasn't politically motivated was peculiar.

He'll probably bank £30-40m in 3 years or so. I think we'll see more young players go there early when they're in demand early in their careers - there's no guarantee that they'll be in demand later in their career, or that the gravy train will still be running.

Chewy

I'm not sure it's makes any difference one way or the other. Ideology is ideology.

It's just such an odd/senseless crime, and can only be politically motivated.

Convenient, yes. I'm one of those who's convinced that it suits many employees much more than it suits most employers.

We'll see tomorrow, but I think Heeley will be a wee bit more left than the markets will like. Milliband is odd as well. I thought he may get home sec.

Kyle was 1/100 this morning to be Chancellor. Odds like that suggested it was done and leaked. Not sure what's happened, of anything. I said I was expecting a few curveballs, but Healey is Chancellor is proper curvy. It'll be interesting to see how the markets react in the morning.

Yep. I i don't like it. Parachuted in from a regional role, and brought in without any meaningful process. He's not had to anything about his policing, ajd doesn't have a mandate. That said, Starmer had failed, we needed something different, and hopefully he'll do something positive. Peter Kyle as chancellor though. Hmm.

Yep. I genuinely struggle to understand half of what he says. Needs to slow it down about so the English speaking people can understand him.

Rodri deserved that. Brilliant player

Nothing to see there. Odd.

Feels that way.

Eh? I'd stick to moaning about the BBC if I were you.

Yep. Brilliant. Not Shakira and her mates though.

I loved that. A real game of 4 quarters.

Ha!! 🥚🏆

Superb by Bellingham. He's been phenomenal since he came on. Some player.
