    [Football] World Cup - Day Five

    Still struggling to see anything in that challenge that could even remotely be deemed a foul in that challenge for the penalty. Seeing a Portugal has resorted to diving and trying to win cheap free kicks before that, it's not a surpirise it was a dive. What i fail to understand is why VAR...

    [NSC] NSC World Cup 2022 Prediction Competition (Main Thread)

    I thought i'd regret not making USA v Wales my joker fixture, now made worse as i did play it on the Saudi Arabia v Argentina game instead

    [Misc] Poverty just now

    The other thing that is barely mentioned was long term wage suppression, especially for the lower paid. I know many are opposed to Brexit, but before the pandemic struck we were starting to see inflationary pressure on wages for the lowest paid jobs as companies struggled to recruit for these...

    [Misc] Poverty just now

    One thing i keep hearing in relation to this is the sky high housing costs (rent or mortgage payments) causing a lot of the financial problems being faced The uncontrolled house price increases where they ran at over 10% a year which many thought was a good thing is now coming back to bite...

    [Other Sport] F1 2022

    Red Bull have been found guilty of breaking Formula 1's budget cap by the sport's governing body, the FIA. Red Bull exceeded the $145m (£114m) limit during 2021, the FIA said, adding that the offence was "minor", the lower of the two categories of breach. This means the team exceeded the cap...

    [Football] Nations League & other international football, October 2022

    Saka involved in both our goals playing in his natural position, which makes it even weirder that Southgate decided to play him as a left back against Italy

    [Other Sport] This mixed doubles snooker thing on ITV

    I used to play regularly snooker doubles with mates probably close to nearly 30 years ago now (hardly a new idea, or format) As to why they held this - I think they referred to this event as being a way to help promote the female snooker players and game more into the spotlight. (They've...

    [Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

    Hence why i don't agree with the top rate being abolished. However, the higher earners pay more tax (or should do anyway) so a general across the board 1% cut in income tax would till mean that higher earners will benefit more simply because they pay in more, and have more of a wage to be taxed...

    [Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

    But people need money in their pocket to be able to spend, and for years now we have seen disposable income shrink. (Higher bills, suppression of wage growth meaning artificial measures have been needed like a minimum wage, a housing market that was allowed to run out of control (great if you...

    [Politics] Zarah Sultana MP on the wrong track

    It would be interesting to be able to compare LNER to other areas of the railway that are still run by franchises. * Have ticket prices changed at a similar rate to each other, or has one led to larger increases over the other? * Has the level of investment changed (increased or decreased)...

    [Football] It’s Only The Fans That Are Loyal

    All 100% of fans of a team are always 100% loyal? So you never see anyone change their allegiance to whoever is currently the best club out there (for example, plenty wore Blackburn shirts when they won the league, only to be in Man u shirts a short while later once they won the league) We...

    [Albion] Chelsea and FFP

    Because although they have spent a lot on players, that cost isn't immediate on their books (and why we won't be spending £100m in January - see war chest thread) If they sign someone for £60m, and give them a 6 year deal, the cost appears as £10m a season (+ wages) in their accounts...

    [Albion] Potters Chelsea contract.

    Surely by moving to a CL side, and a side that is used to success in winning trophies, it shows that there is a new, harder challenge he will face than if he had stayed with us. You could argue it was all about the money if he had moved to a club that was paying that much more for his services...
