    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I think most of us expected to Kyiv to fall within a week of the invasion. I think the fact that the brave and resilient Ukrainians stopped the advance, then routed the Russians in Kharkiv was nothing short of amazing. I think maybe some kneejerk politicians looking for updates to fill the 24...

    [Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

    It's not said in isolation though, more like "We won't stand in the way of a player moving on if the club's valuation is met". Every player has a price, so therefore, if said price is met, any player is available for transfer, unless your name is Levi Colwill it seems !!

    [Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

    He didn't have to sign the new contract, and he's been very happy I'm sure taking the hefty pay increase. Club are quite entitled to expect their asking price if they are going to sell one of their best players, that they don't want or need to sell, and who is under a long contract.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Just thought I'd bump this thread as mulitple sources reported breakthroughs on the Southern front in the last few days. If as reported, they have reached the main defensive line for the first time, a breach here could really open up the opportunity to split the Russian forces with a drive to...

    [Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

    We won't stand in his way if our valuation is met, be it be circa£100m or Colwill + Cash IMO. As simple as that. Might be wrong but I really can't see that any agreement would include a discount on the asking price if the suitors had qualified for the CL

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Indeed. Create a society that is corrupt and bribable on every level, and everything has its price. Totally insidious. Horrible, as you say, no one is trustworthy

    [Finance] Do you charge your kids rent ?

    Great thread. Sympathise with @1066familyman to an extent. Realities of life aren't exposed if you're given all that money back. Of course, who doesn't want to help your kids out given the fact house prices have risen out of all proportion to earnings. My parents bought a 6 bed house in...

    [Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

    For sure, and incredible that he's been in the first team for less than a season and a half. Let that sink in. Guy who we paid £4m for, and only got put in the team because of injuries/suspensions is in 18 months worth around £100m. Incredible, and bellends going on about pricing ourselves out...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Events like this illustrate exactly why we and other democratic nations should give all they can to ukraine in order to win this war and push Russia back to their borders. If they ever were, Russia have no place in the ranks of civilised nations. They have, it appears to me, to have used vastly...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Is Shoigu going to sit there and be ripped into, and in association Gerasimov. Militarily they may be incompetent but you don't get to those positions in Russian politics without being able to take your enemies down. This could get very interesting

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    I read on the BBC this morning I think that only 25% of homes are owned by people with outstanding mortgages. 37% of homes are owned outright. The rest rented. Out of those 25% it is only those on variable rate mortgages, or those with fixed rate deals coming to an end who are going to be...

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Indeed, I remember my Mum, in her 80's now so mortgage long ago paid off, telling me a while back that whenever they had any spare money they overpaid on their mortgage. Friends used to tell them they were mad. Obviously now, people are worried about whether they can even meet the repayments...

    [Humour] Would you vote leave or remain..

    Voted leave, but would vote remain now. Expected to remain in the Customs Union or Single Market, as that was the line given by plenty in the Leave Campaign. Just wasn't sure about the Political side of it. Utter car crash it has become with stupid red lines, Davis's non-negotiation, the...

    Dreadful biased commentator, see also Richards. Tick the diversity and played for City boxes, but dreadful to listen to if you're any kind of neutral

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    For sure. Ukrainian plans will undoubtedly have many options. Plenty of probing actions seeking the weak spot, once its found, you imagine a huge heavily armoured push through and collapse the lines. The front line is so long, it's impossible for Russia to defend it all in depth. There must be...
