Minimum wages and ‘the’ minimum wage aren’t the same thing. Big companies in the US are increasing their minimum wages to counter a short term labour shortage and maintain their own profits.

None of my posts had anything to do with the minimum wage.

I hope not, I never take any loose change to St Mary’s these days.

No, you can do whatever you like. If you want to set up a company and pay your staff more than your competitors, whilst paying your key decision makers less than all your competitors, then be my guest.

Pay CEOs less so that the best ones p*ss off to another company, who will pay them more and in return make or lose billions of dollars. I’m sure shareholders will be queuing up to do that. Or would you prefer the government to set the wages of all workers?

If you just want to cherry pick results, Florin Gardos once kept clean sheets against Man Utd and Arsenal in the space of ten days. If you think Fonte would have somehow made that West Brom result better, well I most definitely disagree. Last time I saw Fonte in this League, Gabbiadini had him on toast. The intensity of the French league is far, far lower.

Come on Lincoln. Partly I want them up, partly I think Sunderland will be a bigger long term headache for the Skates.

I’m no economist but won’t this just mean inflation in the long run? Wages go up, small privateer companies have to match the larger companies to get staff in the door. The prices go up to pay for it, people just end up paying more for goods they always bought anyway and any pay rise is negated. Good for mortgage holders, bad for savers.

Come off it, he’s 37 and playing in France. We saw his best years, he left at the perfect time for us and we even got £8m for him.

No way that’s the vaccine they’re giving Will. Everyone knows he shoots up every day, they’ve probably just got someone else to do it for him and staged the photo.

It's a SWF work of fiction. Just like: Jermaine Wright's 'must play if fit' contract. Jose Fonte being forced out of the club Ralph only plays Minamino because Klopp told him off and we were very scared and do whatever Liverpool tell us. If we'd waited another month to sell Mane, we'd have got £60m. Sofiane Boufal was never given a fair chance. There's a real chance of Fulham overhauling a 10 point deficit in 4 games.

I think Vest is basically the love child of Willem Dafoe and Steveo from Jackass.

You keep saying this (sarcastically) but I don’t think I’ve actually seen it being mooted by anybody of authority or standing.

I think everyone's made whatever point they needed to make by now.

Yeah, I’ve got this mate in Chennai who says the government pay him 2000 rupees a day to lay on top of a burning pyre and pretend he’s a Covid corpse.

Because he’s not some teenager from a provincial Peruvian town who needs some familiarity to help settle in. He’s a senior, professional football negotiating a multi-million pound contract. He speaks English. He doesn’t need some other Viking to discuss lusty maidens with over buckets of Tuborg.

It wont have any effect.

Small statistical milestone coming up - Currently just under 900 in hospital and dropping by around 20 per day. When it drops below 770 it’ll be the lowest number since records began in March 2020.

I’d be surprised if CM is where we spend any of our limited budget, unless Diallo has some issue we’re unaware of and wants to leave.

Need Swansea to come up really, going to be a nervy summer if one of the teams beginning with ‘B’ wins the playoffs.

Basically the Police were called to a disturbance and within about six seconds of arrival this scene was captured on body cam. The two photos are in reverse order, separated by about one second and the policeman fired the fatal shots at the woman in black at the time the left hand photo was taken. BLM have declared this the senseless Police murder of a joyful child, who loved making TikTok videos about doing her hair. I was just curious what the general consensus was on the issue.

The point is that you're asking an industry on its knees to go to great trouble and expense to implement a procedure voluntarily. They're not going to do that. Passing the cost on to the consumer isn't going to work either, at a time when airlines and airports are desperately vying for each others business. Unless somebody actually enforces this as a legal requirement, it's not going to happen.

You think the Police shouldn't have shot her?

Injury time winner that season they went down with 42 points, IIRC.
