Decent beer tbf

I've always thought this 'Truths' and 'ReTruths' crap was utterly pathetic, and such a good indicator of the man's mental state.

What time is that in the civilised world though Mike, where barely anything is trying to swallow or poison you?

I vote for sudden death of some sort

There are many examples of players that go from the PL to other European leagues and absolutely tear it up. And it's rare that players who were average in another league come and set the PL alight - probably because the intensity in the PL is a different level to most leagues. On the UEFA...

Will check these out! If you like strategy, have you followed any of Simon Wardley's thinking?

I feel you are correct. You don't look around nowadays and see the rich pursuing arts, science, learning and progressing society. You see them buying yachts, fleets of supercars and generally acting like dicks.

Low birth rates are where Western civilisation already is. The issue is that the other side of the solution doesn't yet exist. Your question about what do we do when a large proportion don't need to be productive is the worrying thing. Do we end up in some sort of dystopian situation where...

We do not need to increase the population. We need to maintain the population. Pensioners aren't paying much into the public purse, so all of those services that income tax pays for are not really being covered by pensions - I think it's a push to expect people to save enough to cover the...

I totally understand you on this, but one thing I would advise is that in the Excel spreadsheet of 'should we have kids', you will never be able to make the sums work. YOU are always giving up too much of your life for somebody else to be brought into this world - and they don't even exist so...

The difference between us is not that we disagree on the causes. It's that you are talking about possible reasons and I'm simply talking about the problem. Nobody actually knows why people have stopped having kids, but let's be honest it's not due to too much money or not enough money, or too...

They will all be rolled up into a company called Boomer LLC (incorporated in a tax haven) and used as rental properties. Nobody will know where the money goes but it's suspected a bunch of people that sit on the House of Lords rejecting any regulation of the rental industry. Either that or...

Nah, it just means the boomers have six houses each

I think you are misunderstanding the issue. We need to at least replace the people who are leaving the workplace with more people who will work, so we can pay for the services those older people need. It is actually incredibly simple and yet many people seem to make it some sort of nimby “too...

Is that for the entire squad? Because the author also chose to ignore the average cost per player being higher for Newcastle. Kind of key given we don’t actually have all ~45 of our players in the PL squad

I agree. It’s just like that famous saying; “the best time to kick a man is when he’s down” Let’s get kicking!

I did enjoy how he talks in specifics about Brighton having a higher net spend than Newcastle, and brushes past three particular years with “The following three seasons saw Newcastle United with higher net spends than Brighton”. The three years in question totaled: Brighton -£145m net spend...

Mate, you’ve just described every single unplanned meeting between two or more beings that has occurred in the history of the universe. “I’m sorry Pa, it’s just so far fetched that you met ma in the very same diner that my friends and I went to last night. The chances of that are astronomical...

Kudus is such a good player
