You’ve simplified what I said and overlooked the post I was replying to. Nonetheless, whether you choose to admit it or not, there is a huge generational divide in this country. Every available statistic proves that, and illustrates how much harder life is for those 40 and below compared to...

This is the biggest issue. The amount of people of my parents’ era living the life on final salary pensions, in 4 bed houses they bought for £50,000 is scary. Gen X and the following generations simply won’t know such luxury.

I’d say I was of that era. FHM and the like were prime wank bank material.

I’d hate to be single now, quite frankly. I used dating apps for a period when I was, and they were a horrible experience, and I was lucky enough to be one of the guys that did get matches and dates. I know a few of the younger guys at work are on them and they’ll regularly go months with no...

Sweet FA. But the hope keeps me coming back.

I think both. I think our perceptions of beauty have changed as we’re less insular. And similarly, people now have unrealistic expectations.

There’s so many more options available through dating apps. Porn is readily available of all shapes and sizes and perversions. Things like OnlyFans have warped peoples’ minds. When I was younger, you really only had the options of the girls in your local village or school. That’s not the case...

Exactly. I remember when FB started becoming a thing during my uni days.

I mean I grew up in the late 80s and 90s. Most of my time was spent outside. It did start getting super advanced in the mid-90s, with tech like the N64 console, and snake on a brick phone, but really this wasn’t the all consuming experience that takes over the lives of many young kids today.

In hindsight, there was something incredibly quaint about the 5 minutes it took to load one slightly erotic picture. It was effectively a form of edging. I do think it’s modern technology has seriously impacted what we perceive to be attractive though.

You know millennials enjoyed life pre this level of tech, right?

I would. Primarily because I could make up the shortfall elsewhere, which would potentially give me more freedom long term. The reality is, working from an office requires 10 hours+ a week extra, which is unpaid. That’s a whole extra week of work every month. Plus the costs of commuting in...

There’s no way Caicedo’s on only £100k a week as one of the league’s most expensive ever players. If he is then he needs to sack his agent.

And did he celebrate their goals by displaying an “I love the Albion” shirt? If not, I think it proves he’s a t**t.

The traditional is a pastry, the better version is the biscuit. It’s like the Bakewell tart - the newer version is vastly superior to the original.

Why? We protect his weaknesses and play to his strengths in a very clearly defined system… international football doesn’t allow for this in quite the same way. And surely the signing of Ferdi was a look to the future and potentially replacing him anyway?

And I agree with that. I was lambasted for saying England would’ve been better calling up actual left backs from the Prem in the summer, rather than pushing players out of position. But Veltman has some seriously stiff competition to get in at either RB or CB in that Dutch side. And the...

He’d be fine. Of course he would. In the same way Brentford’s English left back or Newcastle’s big ol’Dan Burn would be fine at International level for England… or our very own Lewis Dunk. That doesn’t mean there aren’t better players available for them, or players more suitable to the system...

This isn’t the same, is it. You’re comparing apples and oranges.

He’s had one cap since 2021. None in his 30s.
