My point was why do pensioners deserve a guaranteed above inflation pay rise every year, when large portions of society are struggling and public sector workers have had their pay effectively frozen for a decade. My comment about the £460 increase was slightly flippant, really just pointing out...

Of course pensioners receive an equal or above inflation pay rise every single year with the "triple lock", but somehow there is always money for that, and nobody ever questions it. Yet when it's people doing critical jobs suppling crucial public services, for some reason there's no money and...

It's very sad that you only see sport as worthwhile if it is profitable. Why not go and support a bank or something if that's what's really important?

As was the Everton one really

Rushworth went to Hull didn't he?

Sorry, worded it badly; I don't think our interest is in doubt, I think the theory is that we have been encouraged to bid by the agent but the player has no intention of joining us. They seem to be linking it to the Darwin Nunez saga (same agent, apparently). Almost certainly nonsense, but it's...

They also seem to think our reported interest was just a ploy by the agent to push the price up

It's there on mine too (via phone app at least) - go into "Caracao Cup Live Tonight" and you get a choice of all the games

Was saying this to my mate earlier this week - was quite happy us playing badly and winning cos when we play well we tend to lose!

A sausage roll is very much pastry-based, don't think it's too much of a stretch to apply it to other fillings (y)

I actually am a qualified referee :banana:(well, i was, not done it for many years, and obviously never had anything to do with var). I agree that's what should happen. I'm not sure I have your faith that things are so clear cut though...

Is that what happened though? The assistant flagged, that's not the same as the goal was disallowed. I may have missed it, but it looked to me like no decision was made on the field as they immediately deferred it to VAR.

Why do you need to be so rude?

I remember the Leeds fans claiming they'd be Champions League within 4 years of promotion. Didn't realise they'd actually done it!

Asking for 'daylight' between the players cant work with VAR as it currently operates, as you would need to have a camera exactly level with any incident. Calling for a 60 second limit won't work for a number of reasons; some situations are very complex, so you'd need a different time limit for...

Andrei Kanchelskis??

That's fine, but how is "the time" decided? People cheat all the time, they don't get banned for 4 years. A quick google search seems to suggest that Pogba's punishment is significantly longer than any previous high profile doping ban in football. Is his crime worse somehow or is he being made...

Regardless of his qualities as a footballer, 4 years is an incredibly harsh punishment

Interested to know what you think "everyone knows about nitrogen inhalation"? I work in the gases industry, and it is well known that breathing a 100% nitrogen atmosphere will lead to loss of consciousness very quickly, after as little as 2 breaths. In incidents where people have survived, they...

This is the first season in a long long time where there doesn't seem any possibility of changing divisions*. In the football league we always seemed to be going either up or down, or nearly missing either way, and since getting into the top flight the spectre of relegation has been a constant...
