I’ve probably been watching MacAllister in awe a bit too much. Him and Di Maria were far superior I thought. Obviously a great player who can change a game, I’m probably judging him against the Messi of old.

Is it just me or has Messi been a bit shit. I’d sub him off. (Cue a moment of brilliance from Messi)

This is what worries me about UK politics. Starmer may seem awfully dull, but he has a history of competence in his previous positions. I’m not say he’s right 100% of the time and that I agree with everything he does. But I’d take competence in any form at present over the current incumbent and...

The pay rise in 2019 was to bring pay back in line after years of pay freezes.

3, The Tories are doing a grand job, imagine how bad it’s going to be when the next lot get in and public workers should suck it up.

How do you both feel about the shortage of nurses and how that is affecting patient care? I didn’t vote to strike, but I can understand why some have, we need to attract more nurses and retain the ones we have. I’ve never seen so many experienced nurses leave as I have in the past few years, a...

I always find the first mile the hardest in winter, burns the lungs a bit. Normally I do at least a mile warm up before any effort and I find that helps. I tend not to worry about times during winter too much as I feel that as long as I keep the training to a reasonable level in winter, I’ll...

My experience of management in the NHS is somewhat similar. Generalising somewhat, I’ve found 2 types. 1: Managers sourced from the private sector, often with no experience in healthcare. They make the majority of decisions in line with budget restrictions with absolutely no idea on how that...

What I’d do for a bit of competence at the top. https://news.sky.com/story/amp/rishi-sunak-accused-of-wasting-11bn-by-paying-too-much-interest-on-government-debt-12631205

Yeah, it would be interesting if money was being thrown about in the NHS, ministers would conveniently have friends, family and local landlords well positioned to take the contracts on (obviously for no personal gain).

Yes it’s interesting, obviously money is wasted in the NHS. It’s quite annoying now that it’s being framed by the government as a pay rise or cuts to frontline services. Nurses, paramedics, et al are part of the frontline services. Failing to ensure there are sufficient numbers will lead to...

Yeah, Barclay was on the TV this morning saying if they give nurses increased pay how do they clear the backlog. Given the number of nurses leaving the NHS or thinking of leaving in the near future, I’d have thought the first thing you’d need to look at when trying to clear the backlog is to...

I honestly thought England were the better team, unlucky with a few critical decisions. Mbappe was well handled, he didn’t do much. 4 more years and development of players, they’ll be right in the mix. I can’t begin to imagine how good Bellingham is going to be in a few years.

Can we request that ITV sub Dixon?

Yeah, I’d be a bit disappointed if I was Brazilian with all that attacking talent at their disposal. Fair play to him for stepping up, I just imagined there would be others in front of him.

Definitely, I just don’t get a CB taking a penalty. With all the talent they have.

Why is Marquinos taking an important penalty like that? Where’s Neymar?

Didn’t see that coming

I’m shocked Neymar didn’t go down from the challenge leading up to the goal. He’s normally pretty quick to hit the deck, if given the opportunity. Nice touch and finish though, good to see.
