Always important to clarify/ fact check statements like this: Paul Donovan, Chief Economist of UBS Global Wealth Management, said the shift away from Britain partly reflected the fact that, with the third highest number of millionaires, its figure was currently "disproportionately high." "You...

All the comparison with English players and teams of the past is ignoring the fact that where we are now is the culmination of a long term plan to improve the quality of English football and the fortunes of the England football team. We first had the Elite Player Performance Plan introduced in...

I would argue that the reason Williams has looked better in this tournament is because the Spanish manager has set them up to play free flowing attacking football and has utilised his players in their best positions and playing to their strengths. Foden on the other hand was shunted out to the...

The main criticism of Southgate over the years is that we only win against teams that we should on paper beat, but when we come up against a top team we tend to go out. Often when we go out, like in the final against Italy, it's been due to Southgate's negative tactics and hesitancy to make...

Petrol cars also go wrong though don't they, and can cost a lot to repair particularly if a premium brand and with new technology. I remember buying a Toyota ago when they first came out which had a newly developed automatic gearbox. It cost about 7K new and shortly after the warranty ran out...

Buying an i3 in 2015 you were an early adopter, this was BMW's first mass produced electric car and it was only a couple of years after it was launched. I had a 2015 Nissan Leaf and the technology has moved on massively since then as well as the servicing and support infrastructure for all of...

I am sure people from other countries must laugh when they hear us sing that song, makes it sound like we are living in some sort of tin pot dictatorship like North Korea! It genuinely makes me cringe when I hear it.

Having had the misfortune of spending time around people within Farages last party UKIP (one of my old friends was a senior member of the party and MEP), and having had conversations with them in pubs after a few beers, none of this is a great surprise. This was low hanging fruit for Channel 4...

They also once had a great football team, Deportivo de la Coruna won La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and got to the semi finals of the champions league in the early 2000's! My wifes family is from there and its a lovely city, its been really sad to see Deportivo fall down the leagues.

I don’t know enough about Tik Tok and how it works except that it’s Chinese owned, which is why in the US they are proposing to Ban it if they don’t diversify the ownership. Presumably worried about this sort of thing and the influence it could have.

My 13 year old son came up to me the other day asking why this bloke 'Farage' and his party reform keep popping up on his tic toc feed. He asked me if it was true that rapists are not being sent to prison because the prisons are full with immigrants which was one of the things he had seen on...

I would like to nominate the nestle 'lion bar' and cadburys 'curly wurly'!

Why do we need 5 defenders + gallagher and rice? Once shaw is back the defence is fine as it is. To be honest I would like to see Southgate make more bold substitutions, rather than bringing on more defensively minded players to shore things up he should be trying to push for more goals. If a...

I think this is being overcomplicated due to Southgate's negative mindset, I cant see any reason why we cant have Rice as our sole defensive midfielder with Bellingham alongside him. Rice just needs to sit deep to protect the back four and allow Bellingham to get forward, you then have Foden as...

Exactly this, and De Zerbi was also absolutely full of praise for Potter when he took over. In fact he mentioned potter regularly in interviews over the first few months he was in charge: “I’m lucky to be the coach of Brighton and these players. I have to say thanks to Graham Potter because I...

I was invited to a mates Birthday party at Cote in Brighton over the weekend. This place for me sums up everything that is wrong with some generic chain restaurants. The service was terrible and the food extremely underwhelming, the french onion soup was tepid and flavourless, the corn fed...

We went to Sicily in April, we loved Palermo and stayed there for 3 nights at a lovely boutique hotel in the city centre: https://www.palazzonatoli.com/ I would recommend doing a food tour, the one that we went on was: street-food-tours-in-palermo These are led by a Palermo local and give you...

It's interesting comparing the perception amongst fans around GP leaving vs those that actually run the club. I remember seeing this interview with Paul Barber where he spoke in depth about the process of Graham leaving. You can see that Tony Bloom and him were both pragmatic about the situation...

Didn't we also come back from 0-2 down to beat Man City 3-2 at Home during that period? I managed to get tickets for that game and was one of my favourite Albion games, even if there was only 6/7k fans in the stadium!

Potter is a good manager, I never understood all the hatred towards him and would be more than happy for him to come back.
