The banker loving, baby-eating Tory party thread (regenerated)
OutByEaster? replied to blandy's topic in Off Topic
I don't think there's anything that more ably demonstrates how far away from the electorate the Tories are than that they think getting a flight to Rwanda off might see them bounce back in the polls - no one wants this ridiculous, callous, expensive nonsense - they're living in a very peculiar bubble and it's about to go pop. -
I believe Everton's second case was heard last week, a day after Forests, so will that mean we can expect to see a verdict on it in the next few days? I can't claim to be particularly knowledgable on the new charges or the detail of them, but another six point penalty would put them into real difficulty.
-
Everton got 10 then had it reduced to 6 on appeal. A lot is going to depend on what happens with Everton's other charge this week.
-
I do wonder if that would suit BK8 though - unlike most sponsors of Premier league shirts, they don't look for the 'prestige' element of shirt sponsorship, that thing that says 'this must be a proper company, they sponsor a Premier league shirt' they're not interested in the brand association thing - they just need visibility. Essentially for them, a Premier league shirt is a billboard that can be seen in the country where their customers live and they're not legally allowed to advertise - which shirt they're on isn't hugely important to them. They sponsor in various forms and under various names about a dozen Premier league teams and I think in a case where a shirt becomes very expensive, they'd simply find a cheaper one - I wouldn't be surprised if they'd simply move BK8 to one of the promoted sides or one lower down the table and save themselves some cash.

it's an interesting one, four points put them right in the mix for relegation, albeit their fixtures are pretty kind, but with an appeal, if it's close, any reduction in four could be enough to relegate another team and that just wouldn't sit right with me - imagine Luton going down on the last day because Forest got a point back a few days before. With Everton's second punishment to soon be announced it could be carnage down at the bottom come the final week of the season.

Ticket detail for this should be out on Thursday - Lille have a good sized stadium, so hopefully there will be a decent allocation. The club have partnered with a company called sportsbreaks and would like you to know about them: https://www.sportsbreaks.com/Football/Premier-League/Aston-Villa I'm sure that those of you who travel away regularly enough to get tickets to this one have already got preferred methods, but y'know, it's an option.

Believe to or not, but you can't place a bet with BK8 in the UK!

I think for a couple of reasons - firstly the value of our shirt front has risen substantially and will rise substantially again if we're in the Champions league next season, that means that a new deal would be enough for us to pay out BK8 and still make more money, if the figures are right, it becomes a big possibility. And secondly because it's not entirely clear what's happening with the illegal Chinese gambling market and the slightly shady legality of advertising for it in the UK, and because the head of Suncity and presumed owner of TGP Group who own the BK8 brand (and pretty much all the other Premier league gambling brands) has been jailed for eighteen years on racketeering charges, the future of BK8 is a little unclear. It's by no means certain that we will change shirt sponsors in the summer, but I wouldn't bet against it.

One of the weird things is the proximity data stuff - so they track your phone against the phones that your phone is regularly near, which means that they know when it's your partners birthday and can tailor adverts to you for the stuff she's been looking at.

I think he'll be okay in pressure games - what he does isn't flashy or risky particularly - he's really good at picking the ball up from defences and moving it on - he holds players off well, he can turn with it and he plays sensible, accurate passes. I don't think much of that changes with pressure so he should be okay. He'll need to be really sharp off the ball mind you.

Good game - both teams making chances and playing the play around nicely - they've possibly pressed a little better than we have and taken their chances. Plenty to play for.- 461 replies

FIFA have decided to expand the U17 world cup from 24 to 48 teams. They've also decided to hold it every year. And they've decided on a host for the first five years. Qatar.
