Chill. This isn't about logic. It's about love. And most of us are ployamorous. We love Graham but that doesn't mean we have lost our love for Chris.

As above. Random checks. 90% of the impact, 5% of the additional checks. Job done.

Don't care. You called him a 'poor man's Tony Pulis'. On NSC. We have forgiven you a lot over the years but I'm afraid there's no coming back from that.

Normally I respect your views on football, but you are way off the mark here and showing some ignorance/arrogance I sat through (live) all the seasons that Chris managed Brighton. The only truly awful spell was the last half of the last season. Other than that the time in the premier league...

Was thinking the same - I suspect this is where it will go, and makes sense as a compromise. Of course there will always be a few tw*ats that can't be arsed with the very minimal hassle involved in making sure they are tested (or downloading their vaccination status) and will find ways round...

I try very hard not to apply assumptions to all supporters of any club. Certain clubs, Burnley, Millwall, Chelsea do have reputations. And while ALL clubs have some nobs (or worse), as an 'average' of all their fans those reputations have probably been earned. There seems to have been more...

I think more accurately it means that we have to now accept that inevitably some mistakes will happen. And this may turn out to be one of them. I am of the belief that in the long term attitude and application will generally be as important as raw talent (see for instance, Patrick Bamford)...

I'm going to leave this here (and run away) because I think it's interesting and, in many ways, very accurate. https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-street-fight-mortal-combat

Also, I assume, free. If there is one thing we have learnt from the lifestyle of 'Airmiles Andy' it's just how reluctant he is to spend our money on his private comforts.

That's a very good interview. Although I probably think that because what he says fits with my own views. He is understanding of the pessimism/caution of those giving advice to government, as am I. And he is as damning of the overly optimistic as he is of the overly pessimistic, as am I...

:fishing::fishing::fishing::fishing: I assume...surely?

Interestingly Al Jeezera, who made this programme, is (I believe) almost entirely funded by the Qatari state.

It is palpable nonsense. Exactly the sort of nonsense that gives economics a bad name. It's a PR piece - to boost their hits and get media attention. I do know what I am talking about here. The point of the video is that it shows just how easy it is to dismantle the arguments if you happen to...

Nope. As would be expected from a consultancy firm called 'Brand Finance' that report is utter nonsense. As explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qgdJ5XWj8c Obviously that's a review with an agenda - but the report IS nonsense - it is just a PR puff piece dressed up as a 'serious...

Agree. It's become one of those truisms that doesn't really get examined because it suits people to believe it. There also the question of the value, and potential public income, that could accrue from the royal estates, beyond tourism. And of course the non-monetary value such as rewilding...

In reputational terms, I don't think that's going to make a lot of difference, detailed allegations have been made, are in the public domain and will be heard and considered in a court. And this is in the context of Andrew's continued association with Epstein AFTER he was convicted as a...

Surfing. I really enjoy it, but I will never be any good now. Needed to learn while I was still young and lithe. On similar note, and as above. Stretching. I hate it, but a life-long lack of doing it is really starting to bite.

Football authorities are choosing not to regulate ownership. It's not that hard, just don't accept any ownership that is not completely open and transparent. But instead they choose to accept money and look the other way. Not hard to guess the motivation. It's the same motivation driving large...

Great work that. It reveals so much - and so much more than just the problems with football ownership. The super-rich can operate outside the rules that apply to the rest of us, and there's a whole industry set up to help them do it. Anyone who still thinks corruption is a problem over 'there'...

Well, I would say I'd vote for you but: a) that rather defeats the point of being a Dictator b) I suspect (but don't know of course) there may be other elements of your manifesto that I would find less appealing I like this though. I wonder how easy it would be for a government to legislate...
