I think we would cringe to see how much we got back for VVD fee

Again fair points but I cant imagine a hardened leader being in such a midfield, but perhaps Im just steeling myself for JWP to leave and trying to justify that we may not miss some parts of his game

I think that is very fair,

Not sure if this at all relevant, but I do see that JWP is put as a leader. I wonder if people look to see who was captain in both of our 9-0 defeats

if Kalvin Phillips is going for around £40m we are in a dream world at 75m. His worth is 40m in my opinion

Yes, as he is not worth 75m

I dont believe you are above saying pretty crass things either. We wouldn't be there now if Cameron had made the proviso that there should be a 10% difference before it was acted on. Only a few percent won the vote, even Farage conceded on the night before the final result. If he hadn't been chipping away for yours there would not have been a vote. Any way you have your way, there will be winners and losers, but the vast majority are going to lose and that is very sad. Osbourne says we will go back in the future. The older vote who in the main were Brexitteers are falling off the cliff and the young will be able to vote for their future, that is as long as Love Island is not on TV the night of the voting. A dumbed down nation.

Ok I agree I was wrong to say that, and unusual for me to give such an opinion, but I believe he has hurt my children and grandchildren's future massively. Someone who does that does not get my best wishes.

Yes the irritating sod was the man for that. I curse the day when that plane crash didnt have a fatality. A person who thinks hes patriotic but ironically caused more damage to our future than any other.

I glanced at the topic and thought it said Matt Le Tizz

If you watch the doco film about Cambridge analytics involvement, and Cummins you will see they sidelined Nige as a major vote loser. More and more Brexitteers are saying they regret the decision they took. A lot of these people are intelligent but fell for the 'easiest deal in history' lines. You seem to me to be still happy with the vote, sadly our economy doesnt. Covid has been used as a shroud to hide the disaster business has had to deal with. It is early days but our demise as a nation in creeping faster all the time, add to that the perfect storm of fuel prices (nobodies fault except Putin) and the cost of living. Ive worked through a few recessions and seen the pain they bring, it is concerning there is a good chance we are hurtling towards one. This will not all be down to Brexit as of course the EU are going through the same, but they also have seen costs to them due to our nations ridiculous hari kari

I suspect had he not played for us and we saw he was available there would be multiple threads moaning why weren't we going for a proven PL marksman.

I recall Mick Channon leaving to go to Man City and hating hi, he returned and gave us some of his football. I would take him back as he could mean us staying up. 5-10 goals

I suspect he would look better as the quality and aura of those around him. He is too lightweight IMo

I hope the links to Minami-NO is not true!!!

I doubt it as 'very soon' can be also stated as a tomorrow that never comes

exactly. I doubt Spence or Garner will be there next season.

I dont think he is good enough for the very top teams in England as he is useless passing out the ball. So our level of club is probably his best bet, all in MHO of course

Are you confident that they are going to spend big? You imply that you feel that maybe in the pipeline. Myself I suggest it is going to be more of the same of plodding along, being self sustaining. This means we have to sell our main assets to spend on the team. As for JWP in the top 4 sides, Hojberg is very combative whilst JWP is magnificent at set pieces. Im not sure what JWp is, he is very tidy and covers lots of ground. He isn't really to my mind a playmaker, he definitely doesn't play defence splitting balls. To be fair to him he hasn't a lot to play with.

Long term we will be so far behind if things stay as they are anyway. The big 6 will be already making plans how to take more of the pot. Saints are not fit for purpose at present. As for raiding us, it is pretty obvious that they only have to speak to an agent and they are immediately unsettled and gone. We havent got anybody good enough for that case at present.

No doubt, but it would be without the big 6 and so the rest would be competitive needing less money to do so. I grew up seeing Saints, Villa Forest , Derby , Ipswich , etc competing for the league. Yes Man u and Liverpool were strong and had a smaller advantage, but the league and games were far more even.

The gap gets bigger a I saw what the CL clubs got this season and they got the same again as we received. The gulf is just getting bigger and bigger. Perhaps a breakaway league would be best for us all

Amazing, I would think having a hologram would have been the best option. Granty posted that probably once the QR code was used once, it would stop any others of that code, so if someone holding the counter fit arrived before the genuine ticket , it would make the genuine one null and void (I hope that is how he put it)

Seems to me that there were a lot of fans who travelled without tickets. I was listening to a podcast today and apparently at a final before, the gates were opened to let all in. By doing this it just encouraged people in the future to turn up. I dislike Liverpool as much as anybody but they general fan was well behaved and treated appallingly. Anyone who had been at Hillsborough will have had terrible flashbacks

its not really my field of expertise, I would suggest it is a good thing to own. I have a cursory knowledge on this subject. My field is Antiques
