That’s how free markets function, so he’s right about that. Whether there should be a market in energy is open to debate, but once there is, suppliers will go bust. What’s moronic is Government policy bankrupting viable businesses.

Government policy has turned this from a short term crisis into a long term disaster, and we’ll be paying for this for years to come. It’s another example of “so called” Tories interfering with the market with unintended consequences. The Government imposed rate cap is now forcing suppliers to sell energy at a loss. If this continues only the big companies will have the reserves to weather the storm. Capitalism relies on poor businesses going bust, but setting an artificial tariff below cost price means smaller viable ones will go as well. The upshot of this is when the wholesale rate falls, the cap will still be high (as it reflects previous wholesale prices) but lack of competition (as the disrupters have gone tits up) mean the big boys will have no need to offer particularly competitive prices. We’ll be back where we were when everybody was screaming about cartels and the big 6 companies stitching things up. If the was no rate cap, prices would be higher now, but I bet over a 5 year period they’ll be a damn sight lower than they will be. Competition lowers prices, not Government imposed rates. If it was Corbyn or Milliband I could understand it, but this lot are meant to understand how markets work.

Fucking hell, forget the NHS getting a Brexit dividend, what about putting some extra into education.

Of course it’s way too early to judge him a failure, but it’s also way too early to claim we did “pretty good” recruiting Tino, Broja, perraud & Armstrong. None have played more than a handful of games and none have won a league game yet.

Blackmore needs to go as well.

FFS, does it really matter. You sound like a right nod.

Fuck me, his CA in FM22 is unbelievable. I was t expecting that, what’s his RLM figures? I suspect the PAB will be in hot water with the BBB over that one.

Martin Lewis was specially asked this question on 5 live last week, and confirmed the new supplier didn’t have to honour a previous supplier deal, making the point that the reason they went bust was probably because their tariffs were unsustainable anyway . His website says this. “When a new supplier's appointed, you'll likely be moved to a new deal – which may cost more. Ofgem says it's likely your current deal will end and you'll be moved to a special 'deemed' contract (a tariff you won't have chosen). These tend to be pricey, so it's possible your bills will go up.” Why would any new supplier honour a contract they didn’t negotiate and managed to bankrupt the previous one? Ofgem says it’s “likely” your deal will end, I’d say it’s pretty fucking certain.

They will have identified him. But just like VvD at Celtic, they’ll let us road test him, and will move on him when he’s proved himself.

Good lad…. “When I was staying in the hotel, I would go with him to his house to play FIFA. He was very important for me. I play as Barcelona. Yan plays as Real [Madrid] or Paris [Saint-Germain]” Forget Big Mal, Mooreo & Venables pepper pots in an East End cafe, FIFA’s where it’s at. #hipsters

It’s fixed unless your supplier goes bust. The new supplier doesn’t need to honour that agreement, just offer you it’s standard tariff.

You need to read “The hipsters guide to football”. I read it before match day 4 and learnt all about low blocks, Xg’s & against the ball.

They always switch it to the present season after a handful of games.

What a load of old pony. Firstly, why give a penalty in the first place, if he was trying his hardest to ensure City (or the hilarious Shitty) won the game, he’d have done what they did to Ronaldo, and waved play on. Secondly, they had a goal disallowed for a marginal offside in injury time, so they weren’t trying that hard. Had that been up the other end, no doubt you’d be ranting & raving claiming it should of been allowed. Thirdly, buy a dictionary and look up “incompetent “ and then “biased”. Learn the difference please.

Surely If they were “star struck” they’d have given Ronaldo his penalty, unless you’re trying to say the West Ham defenders are more famous 😂

Souness & Keane giving Hojberg some clog.

Defo.

Why the fuck would you bring a sub on to take the penalty

He missed a previous game through injury and Sir Alf wouldn’t change a winning side. He was fit for the final, but didn’t win his place back.

Walkers reaction does it for me. I know the refs can’t go on players reactions but he clearly thought he’d given away a penalty, it was only when the red card was shown that he got upset with that decision. The clear course of action was penalty & a yellow card, with the modern ruling on double jeopardy the red card was a horrendous decision. Id still have taken 1-1 even against 10 men. Against most sides 1-0 and playing 10 men you’d expect to win, but city fired up with a sense of injustice, and nothing to lose are fucking dangerous, even with 10.

His stubbornness was defo part of the problem. We’re not playing exactly the same way this season, we’ve tightened up. Fair play to Ralph, he seems to have tweaked things a touch and we’re not as open as we previously were. Promising start, but we haven’t actually won a game yet. We’ve played well in a tough set of fixtures, we now need to see if we can win games we should win. Wolves are there for the taking and there’s no point in getting a point at City and then chucking 2 away at home to them. Let’s see how we break sides down that’ll sit deep before getting too excited.

Great great player. England’s greatest ever goal scorer yet sat out the biggest game in our history when pretty much in his prime. Really did dance round players in tight spaces and pass the ball into the net. I dread to think how many goals he’d score in the modern game, his style of play would have fitted perfectly into today’s game. To come back from the bitter disappointment of missing that game and his alcoholism to become a national treasure is really inspirational stuff. Saint & Greavsie was absolute genius tv, the best football tv there’s ever been, bar none. RIP.

World Cup lol 😂
