Is there an osprey living in the WSU too?

One of my favourite moments of the match was when West Ham looked like they'd finally twigged Steele's short ball into the midfield pivots ... only for him to belt it out wide to Veltman to hoots of laughter from the WSU! 🤣

I'd prefer at least 5 to fully expunge the memory of being at THAT game...

There was 1 ticket showing for both Brentford and Wolves a few minutes ago... and now there isn't. :thumbsup:

I ran to Button Hall and back today, a trip of ten miles. No ghosts spotted.

I'm welling up a bit at this news... everyone has said it, he absolutely was the voice of football - a reassuring presence through the decades. He shall be missed.

I can't remember the length of the unit tbh, and it was in the current Southern livery, but would have definitely worn blue/grey when first built.

There are only labels in the culture war.

Oddly enough my Dad spotted a 70's/80's vintage EMU pulling out of Falmer as we walked up to the Amex from the Bridge on Saturday. Quite an unusual sight seeing something that old on that line!

Thanks @Bozza , not much good to me as I'm actually in the office today! :D

Junior Orange is slightly obsessed by this stuff - Mrs Orange and I have both been visiting Asda stores whenever we pass one (there aren't any in Guildford obviously), and both of us sat in the queues in the online shop for the brief moment last week it was restocked. He should forget about it...

Mrs Orange left for work before I woke up... and isn't coming home until tomorrow.

It does seem to be all about salaries at this level as far as I can see. If the Albion want to compete they need be competitive in that area too - which must be difficult when the income isn't there.

No football training this weekend due to half term so I took a trot around Guildford parkrun. Finished in 21:35 with an AG of 66.72%, which I think is a season's best. I've been trying to get my motivation going for running as I have that half marathon looming in the near future, but I'm...

That table is quite an eye opener. We'd really need to stay in the top flight for quite a sustained period to make a dent on it.

Lucky that the Argentina manager doesn't have that attitude!

I think we broadly agree. Not being given a pay increase, or one that is less than inflation, can undoubtedly lead to having less spending power, which can definitely have real world consequences. I do object to the phrase 'real terms pay cut' though because, firstly it isn't actually true...

We all know the meaning, I'm just pointing out it is bollocks.

Not really. It is as real as saying that a pay cut at the same time as there is a greater drop in prices is a real terms pay increase.

Now I'm really not sure what you are talking about, and as it has been a long time since I've studied economics I'm definitely not up on the current lingo. But to put it simply: * If I have a pay rise and prices stay the same, I have had a pay rise and more spending power. I have not had a pay...
