I reckon there's one or two candidates on here. No, no and never for me. Some people's reasons for voting are mental. I know benefit dependent people who'll vote Tory cos their parents do, and know a bloke with a Czech missus and half Czech kids who voted Brexit and Ukip and can't explain why. There are some proper daft cunts out there.

I think it's safe to assume that unless a specific tax rise has been ruled out, that we can expect that particular tax to rise or be meddled with (i.e. a replacement to council tax as we know it). Whilst I agree that transparency would be good, labour have this in the bag and I can understand them playing it safe and keeping quiet on the bad stuff. I think that we all need to think though, and read between lines.

That's nice. Overall tax revenue will rise. It has to.

Rise. It has to unless we want to borrow even more and / or see fucked public services get worse. It seems clear that we can expect a revamp to council tax and all be paying more. Corporation tax will rise, and I'd imagine that dividend tax rates and bandings will be tweaked. Not sure where else they can easily go, hopefully not fuel duty or tax relief on pensions.

This is nonsense. Nobody "bailed". Footballers have short careers and anyone with any sense will move to bigger and better clubs and/or for more cash.

Yep. Southgate's tactics and game management are probably our biggest negatives. Other issues are the lack of obvious leaders in the middle of the defence or midfield.

The issue for me is that he drops so deep. At times he dropped into midfield and actually disrupted us. One time he tried to sweep the ball wide left and undercooked it giving the ball away. He wasn't helped by us being overrun in the middle though, everyone dropping deep, and a lack of service.

Positives. Defence was decent. Saka was superb first half. Bellingham ditto. Rice was carrying TAA for me, but became scrappy. Pickford dealt with everything. We didn't concede. We won.

Yep. Palmer should be there for me, on merit and form. Arguable case for Gordon though.

Yep. It's about an 11 year old girl. Just wrong.

Apart from putting a goal on a plate for Kane. He's had to defend mostly to be fair.

Good point. Southgate takes 2 others over him but doesn't bring either on when Foden is struggling. Odd.

When did Kane convert to being a shit midfielder?

Not a bad shout.

He's been average at best. Palmer should be on for him.

TAA would have needed to have been in position to have done that. You'll have noted that he wasn't on for the pass either.

Yep. Positionally he's been appalling. Play a midfielder in midfield. Not complicated you'd have thought. They've absolutely controlled the midfield, and the game for ages.

Feck, we're terrible. Completely overrun in the middle, dropping deep, no ability to stretch the play.

A modern day Joe Cole. Good player when played right. He's not a left winger for me.

I'd drop Bellingham in alongside Rice, TAA off and Cole on down the left. Foden in behind Kane.

He's having to do the work of two in there. TAA is mostly great when on the ball, but doesn't seem to be where a defensive midfielder needs to be. Rice doing brilliant.

Who's pass was that from the edge of our box to Saka after that break from them? Superb.

No rush to defend, however, you seem to be in a rush to try to drag his views down but you can't see the irony of doing so. Your focus is him, not the issues and it's tedious as fuck to be honest.

You idolised Maggie Thatcher. If SoG is throwing stones from a greenhouse, you're doing it from a fricking massive conservatory.

Absolutely. In this modern world it's important to let the birds have a say so I'd like to know the snapdragons opinion too.
