We need you back on the EU thread, Wes. GM has been really struggling and is giving all brexiteers a bad name.

You obviously haven’t been paying attention to Alex Jones.

In other news, real household disposable income per head fell 1.1 per cent in Q2 compared to a year earlier - making it the longest period of falling real disposable income in almost 6 years. Survey evidence finds that for the first time in two years, households think their personal financial situation has gotten worse over the past 12 months. More wind in Corbyn’s sails as the good ship Brexit hits choppy waters.

Given Yahya Misselbrook puts great stock in the PMI, he’ll be interested to note that the UK construction PMI fell for the first time in 13 months last month -and is now in negative territory. With steep declines in output likely ahead, concerns are that the sector is entering recession.

In the 5 days after a match, Glasgow posts, on average, 12.3x more when we fail to score than we get on the score sheet. #FACT

You mean like car crashes that turn out to be car crashes, pal

We never ever going to get Tuchel.

A good deal = give us everything we want

The hunting purists see it as cheating and not keeping with tradition; others believe that assault rifles will lead to a fall in the population numbers for big game which will reduce hunting opportunities in the future.

In the perverse, topsy-turvy world of the US, today will be a bumper day for gun sales. History suggests that people will be rushing out to buy guns to protect themselves and on the off-chance that any new legislation regulating firearms is introduced.

They want to disincentivise others from leaving which means not letting the UK have its cake and eat it and get something for nothing. That's fair enough, anyone in the EU's position would rationally insist on the same as a guiding principle: how much flexibility the EU then exhibits is a matter of negotiation. That's a million miles from gratuitous punishments. If you've read any of the EU position papers (doubtful), you'll realise their stance is utterly consistent - principles such as the inseparability of the four freedoms existed before Brexit and apply to all member states - only kippers who have a warped sense of entitlement and exceptionalism see dark ad hominem plots against the UK. Grow the f**k up and stop whinging. In the 'spirit of capitalism' You've not got a Scooby what the spirit of capitalism is.

Nothing to do with democracy, little fella, just your jihadi sense of entitlement and exceptionalism. For what it's worth, the UK has negotiated numerous opt-outs over the years, won the argument on lots of issues from free trade, liberalisation of air travel and telecoms and EU enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe and failed to exercise the rights that all member states have enjoyed.

Baldrick, only your fellow jihadis have suppressed WWII feelings about punishment. But it's absolutely clear that the UK isn't going to enjoy the benefits of EU membership without accepting its obligations. Absolutely nowt to do with punishment.

You’re better than that pal.

Not a patch on Robbie Slater though

Good stuff from Bill Maher.

€100bn not mn. Net or gross?

Too early to say.

But that's not what many people are calling for. They're not calling for Long or Gabbi to be played on the wing or in a deeper position but to go up top and play alongside the other striker.

But the aspiring stattos have told us that our xG has been off the charts, crazy tail of the distribution good. We've only underperformed because of variance - cruel Lady Luck has made Longy, an otherwise golden boot contender, look like a shoeshiner. A small dose of mean reversion and we'd already be looking at a 100 goals. To dismiss this is just kneejerkery by the mystics who irrationally believe in watching games.

Gallagher scored today - do you think it's time for a recall and for us to go 4-2-4 with Long, Austin, Gabbi and Gallagher up top?

There's drivel and then there's drivel.
