Weren't there rumours of Temu being used as a massive data scrape for the Chinese government, particularly through the app which had a load of activity monitoring elements and security failings that an ordinary shopping app shouldn't have? Similar accusations have been thrown around for Shein...

Shame that presumably its pronounced Meya instead of Mella with hard L's. He's a torpedo From Deportivo Mella ciao, Mella ciao, Mella ciao ciao ciao

They're the second best team last season in the German top flight, and have champions league football (and income) next season. Previous transfer records aren't relevant - if they don't break that record, and significantly, this summer then that would be far more shocking. I remember when we...

People go on about buy backs as though the player has no choice in the matter. It makes no difference if we have a buy back but the player isn't interested in coming back. I think Stuttgart are just trying to play hardball - €20m is not too much money for a side with a CL windfall incoming...

Well, given the format that up to three teams go through, we're basically guaranteed to progress with 4 points. There's always an utterly shit performance in the group stage. Can Southgate sleepwalk this team to the latter stages of a tournament again? Honestly, I hope not as it would just be...

Thought Southgate was at least supposed to be a good defensive coach. So what on earth are the defence doing? Denmark are well on top, the only team even trying.

Is there also an effect from having to start paying back the huge debt incurred during COVID?

That depends entirely on how Ferguson, Enciso, Baleba etc push on next season. Not to mention if Estupiñan and/or Mitoma regain form they'll each be worth £50-80m There's a few in the squad with extremely high ceilings, just a matter of them reaching that level.

Get ready to hear that every match for the first half of the season Did you know, Mitoma did his dissertation on dribbling!

How local is local enough? For example if a Labour candidate from Horsham runs in Worthing is that good enough? They'll never win the seat in Horsham as a Labour candidate but might in Worthing. They might have some local knowledge but be less familiar with the world south of Storrington. And...

To add to what others have said, staff costs have also gone up. Not only in terms of (well deserved) pay increases after industrial action, but also the NHS is more reliant than ever on short term contract staff to fill gaps. These contracts are far more expensive than permanent contracts and...

Having learned Italian, Spanish and Portuguese to at least conversational level as an adult. Duolingo will just throw sentences at you without properly teaching you the grammar or structure of the language. I don't recommend it, this method doesn't help you retain it. I much preferred Babbel...

Shame he didn't make it, perfect for a chant to the tune of La Cucaracha.

I am no Potter hater, but I always thought the whole "he's got a Masters degree in emotional intelligence" or whatever it was very odd. If you need to pay someone to teach you emotional intelligence, that doesn't say much for your emotional intelligence. Sometimes I think that as soon as...

Alzate is fine for a top of Championship/bottom of PL side. He does a lot of what Gilmour does but not with quite the same vision as Wee Billy. The same tendency to get pushed around against a big strong midfield. I remember when he and Molumby were both coming through at the same time and we...

Somewhat surprising choices, given the patchy form of Baleba, Buonanotte and Ferguson and the injuries of Hinsh. If Hinsh is there, Enciso should be too. And Barco looks equally as exciting and came with a great reputation from Boca. Osman, I know very little about apart from he keeps scoring...

He is the oldest looking 18 year old I've seen for a while. Another African prodigy coming to the Albion via Scandinavia after Adingra, Osman... Nearly Datro Fofana... Interesting that this is becoming an established route, I wonder why so many of the African wonderkids take their first steps...

Man City agrees to the rules of the Premier League by virtue of participating in it - PSR are the terms of the agreement to which they must abide. The Premier League is a private business, is it not? Therefore the terms are set by the League, not by some higher government body, so where is the...

Maty Ryan to Arsenal was another but not really the same situation.

Another political thread successfully detailed by those who shout loudest. It's interesting that the Tory meltdown thread has died down in favour of this one - almost as though people think that we basically have a Labour government in waiting already. The "what about X?" and "they're all the...
