Strong lineup. Romeu on the bench.

Interesting question. Don't know the answer. PWC has done some work on the tax contribution of so-called 100 Group, the UK's most important companies, albeit in a different context. https://www.pwc.co.uk/services/tax/total-tax-contribution-100-group.html

Thanks for clarifying. Interesting work by Enrico Moretti has found that each additional skilled job in the manufacturing or tradable sector generates 2.5 additional jobs in precisely the jobs you describe. The multiplier is even higher for the more high tech jobs at JLR. So the 1m figure is likely to be a significant underestimate. F**k business.

Cheers. Have any London Saints gone out to China?
-
Does that figure just include those employed by JLR and its supply chain or all the jobs that rely on the purchasing power of its employees -everything from the local hairdresser to the shopkeeper on the high street?
-
Is there a live stream for today's game?
-
Completely irrelevant in this context. JLR’s definition of a bad brexit is crystal-clear. Then again for a fanatic like you, that might be the definition of a good Brexit, so, indeed, you may have a point pal.

Is he better than Jack Stephens?

Are you another one that fell for the stephens is better than maguire hype pal?

See JWP is continuing his progress -first his award at the Toulon tournament, now this. What was Becks accomplishing at the same age ffs?

His last post addressed your point about IP and Tim Berners Lee -namely that there is an inherent tension between supporting and rewarding creatives for their labour on the one hand and ensuring that creative content can be accessed as easily as possible on the other. And that the EU is attempting to correct a situation where the big tech giants have cynically appropriated the language of openness which genuinely motivates the likes of Tim Berner Lee (sometimes naively and idealistically I might add) quite simply because their business model as a platform depends on being able to get as much creative content for as cheaply as possible. None of this should be controversial, least of all to those who believe in capitalist enterprise or just rewards. Franklin Foer and Jaron Lanier are very good on this. Don’t get me wrong: we can argue about the implementation of the proposals and whether the right balance has been struck. But they are second-order arguments and don't mean that the EU is wrong to take action. It is equally important to recognise that whatever regulation is passed will never be perfect or please everyone because the trade-offs at the heart of IP are irreconcilable. Indeed I’d argue that people themselves are genuinely torn on the issue not least because they may be simultaneously creators and users of content. And ultimately, not sure what all this has to do with support or opposition to the EU. Tim Berners Lee opposition to Article 13 won’t stop him being a remainer or thinking that zealots are sleepwalking this country into Brexit if unchallenged.

Game's tomorrow - 1.05pm our time.

What is your point other than getting triggered by a tongue-in-cheek article and tediously wanting to rehearse all the reasons, informed or uninformed, why people voted leave?

Forgot to add f**k the Electoral Commission

Can’t see us signing two CBs but if we do it would satisfy many of us who wanted not one but two new CBs. But what do mongboarders know...

Where do I sign up?

Maybe unlike England, ALWAYS has never been disappointed by Saints before, so isnt the glass half-empty type.
-
You’re right pal. My error: it was Dier.
-
Would he? Hard to tell. That said Henderson did have a free header in extra time.
-
Larry your head’s gone pal. Only a special little guy like you could squeeze two utterly contradictory statements in a short paragraph and still have room for a cheeky little reference to Hitler. Or Adolf as you seem to fondly call him

Only chimps would want a foreign Carlos Kickaball while Maguire was just a hipster’s favourite.

Future England captain too.

Guess the point is to have the pace of lingard, sterling and alli making runs beyond Kane or receiving the ball and running at players. That movement is certainly unsettling and is an improvement previous England sides which were incredibly rigid. But without the technical polish of an Eriksen (given the obvious parallels with the Spurs setup), it's all a bit headless and frenetic.
