Soggy concise as ever. Tight arse saves a £5 by posting 5 posts worth in one go. Forget Martin Lewis, Soggy truly is a Money Saving Expert.

Bit concerned about him now though

Can’t blame the club, they did everything to get the game in. The manager even pitched in to lend a hand.

Your ignore list seems to be getting smaller by the day.

I think NI cut is reversible because you can sell it as pouring money into the NHS/pensions. The reality is it’s not hypothecated, but people think it is. More awkward would be using the money to increase the rate people start paying tax. I don’t know what the figures are, and personally I think taxing non doms want bring much in, but if the OBR sign off on a number, Labour will have to find that from somewhere. If Hunt can use that number in a “just” policy which Labour can’t reverse , it puts them in a corner slightly. It’ll certainly give them questions to answers, which is actually the main point of this political pony.

They’ll try & do what Gordon Brown did when he was on his way out. He made the top rate of tax 50%. The Tories didn’t want their first act in government a tax cut for wealthy people (despite it being 40% the previous 12 years). Labour won’t want their first act to be putting people’s taxes up. The thing that’ll really put the cat amongst the pigeons is if Hunt does something relating to non doms and spends that money elsewhere. Labour will be in a bit of a bind there because of their obsession with following Tory fiscal rules.

You’d think someone posting about the budget would realise who does & doesn’t pay NI.

Sheff Utd are appalling, getting battered every week, but they still don’t sink to the lows of conceding 9. To have done it twice in 2 years is pretty remarkable.

It can be me,he claims he’s got me on ignore 😂😂

We’re at the business end of the season, so results are the be all and end all, but fuck me, we need to defend better than that. I quite like Stephens, but to break up the established centre half pairing is criminal imo. Got away with it today, but sides that concede for fun tend to not get promoted. All in all a decent set of results and an important win.

You might not like Galloway’s politics, but he’s more charismatic than 99.9% of the HoC.

Aribo has looked good lately, Smallbone has been pony. Bree played well Weds, Manning didn’t. Adam Armstrong has been fucking pony lately. We’ll know at 5 whether this is the right side, but on paper it doesn’t look right to me.

He’s all over the place. Moaning about “culture wars” whilst fighting one post by post (🤡 he’s now lumping Galloway in with his other bogeymen). Moaning about Galloway & the ex Labour candidate, when they both share his opinion of Israeli/Hamas situation. According to him “the downside of democracy” seems to be people voting for someone he doesn’t like.

Unless it’s Nathan Jones?

Tony Blair relaxed the rules to encourage turnout, but it’s rife for fraud. Particularly with well organised “community leaders” & wives that are dominated by their husbands.

Galloway pretty much shares your opinion on Jews.

Classic Sog

What a load of old pony. Every team in the league is trying to do what other teams don’t want them to do. Personally, I think playing the same way week in week out, is exactly what other teams want us to do. Before they send one scout to watch us, before they watch one video, they know exactly the way we’ll play. Now I know planning your tactics around the opposition seems to be above Lego, but I’d have thought opposition managers would prefer the absolute certainty of how we’ll play, rather than spend the week working on different scenarios depending on our set up. They might not be able to stop us, as they might not have good enough players. But being able to work on stopping us play, safe in the knowledge that you won’t get a surprise match day, is a real plus at this level imo.

Fucking don’t talk to me about councils 😡. The merger of Poole Council with Bournemouth & Christchurch has been an absolute disaster for Poole. They were a well run council that provided decent services & charged reasonable rates. Now we’re on the brink of bankruptcy, council tax has gone up ridiculously & any money they do spend is being spent on Bournemouth. Even in the last couple of days they’ve announced they’re not funding long standing summer events in Poole, the Poole beach hut rents are being brought in line with Bournemouth’s (in other words going up horrendously). The Christmas lights were a fucking joke, whereas Bournemouth had displays in the gardens & markets/entertainment etc. The thing that really boils my piss, is nobody got a vote on it. Christchurch council even opposed the merger, but the Government over ruled it. We’ve been well and truly screwed over by our larger neighbour who have always wanted the nicer parts of Poole to gradually drift into becoming part of Bournemouth. Fucking rant over….

You think that’s bad, wait until tomorrow after he’s seen this. Fuck me, it’s TV viagra for him.

I think they do if the original game was scheduled for TV

I think it’s a question of getting the away fans into a corner as well. That being the case, their proposal is the only viable option.

Smallbone was excellent for the first 70mins yesterday, so I’d leave him in that role for the full 90. Bree has to come in regardless of whether KWP is fit or not. Aribo has to start & so does SA. Fuck Mara off for Che, put Brookes in for one of the wide men. Not convinced by Charles yet, so if Downes is unfit that could be an issue. Personally, I liked Rothwells urgency first half at Liverpool , but I guess that’s the SA role as opposed to a more defensive position. On the basis of not tinkering around too much, I’d probably stay with Charles (in the event of Downes being out), but he needs to start producing a bit more and stop giving the fucking ball away.

First half we were excellent, some really good passing & I thought Rothwell & Aribo played really well. The difference was once we broke the press we went through the middle third really quickly. I guess it was because they came at us rather than sit back, but there was urgency and pace. Clearly we missed some real decent chances as we lack real quality in the most important area. Second half was a shit show. Particularly after the substitutions, absolutely woeful changes that made us even worse. I just didn’t get them. Our wide men who did ok were taken off & Mara (who should have come off) pushed out wide & Adam A who was atrocious. Smallbone,enough said, he’s fucking pony.
