I think it's horses for courses. Zaniola was excellent first half and brought some much needed physicality. Bailey is great to bring on when the game is stretched and the defence tired. Wonder if we'll see Bailey vs Luton to play much wider.

Confused by this, we've had food waste bins for years. As small one in the house and then a large one outside, comfortably enough for a week or twos waste. We just use the compostable bags, all works quite well and stops the big bin from stinking

The things i would expect: 1. discredit labour policies 2. target Starmer as someone with no experience and an unproven leader 3. Attempt to highlight things they perceive to have gone well (vaccination support, some brexit deals, support for Israel/Ukraine 4. Promise some classic tory policies 5. Target some policies they believe latent labour supporters believe to be important (were not going to push Ulez down your throats, we'll debate the BBC license fee, etc).

i think too much is made of the honeymoon thing, many players are called up and dont feature, im sure thats frustrating for the players but equally they will be well aware that this is highly possible but being around the squad allows them the chance to impress. Bouba could have said no, im sure it would have been understood. The other option was Deschamps calling up someone in his place and giving them that opportunity. Surely thats a harsher outcome for Kamara.

That's the reality of the situation. Kane plays, we have one more slot for Toney, Wilson, Watkins, DCL dependant on form and fitness. It's tough on Watkins but England are very well stocked in the front line.

He's 23 and has stats we love from our loan players. Wonder if he ever gets a chance.

I saw. I'm an ST so would just be the top up. The photos looked quite busy though, hope the later kick off gets a few more in.

do you know what, if its done to the original format it has a place. Its supposed to be a group of people that are representative across society just asking each other questions and trying to co-exist. I always found it a fascinating insight into people and why they react the way they do. I was watching last night and they have a muslim female from Wolverhampton talking to a trans female. She had some really basic questions like "if you have sex with a man, is he gay?". And i loved it, was apologetically ignorant and just wanted to use the experience to ask things she just didnt understand. This for me was classic big brother, it went wrong when they got obsessed with personalities, celebrities and hoping people had sex live on tv.

debating using this for the west ham game. Will pop some thoughts in if so. Appreciate that i may come under the wrath of VT but i already work in a bank and staunchly support Ollie Watkins so im used to not being liked.

That's a tough line, nearly all fraud involves incompetence. People are too trusting of a family friend who's a fraudster. People don't understand technology and are manipulated into handing over access to banking apps etc. All are example of incompetence, all avoidable and these encourage fraud. The blame should always sit with the criminals that carry out the fraud.

A good example but also an example of an investigation that may recover funds so not necessarily the type of thing that Starmer is referring to which seems to be the lost billions. I dont personally believe the narrative that the central government would encourage fraud by their friends, i do believe incompetence may enable them to be exploited. Im undecided whether i think a labour government will be better at that.

Are you confusing a few things here. Legitimate companies that benefitted for no apparent gain versus fraud. Labour and the HMRC in particular are talking about fraud generated from schemes created to support covid. Activity like creating a fake company to apply for bounce back loans. While i think the government may have enabled associates/colleagues and many others to benefit from investments made through covid, I dont think ive seen any evidence that they were part of fraud.

the positive way to look at this is that you had got yourself into a position where you were protected if things came up. Thats a good thing and something very many people in the UK fail to achieve.

Edit. Answered by many others

Micah Richards

i dont really blame Torres, he got beat for pace but we had 3 other defenders in the box marking the Wolves attacker. We should have more than enough to clean it up.

Lost the ball but in a very safe area. To be fair we had good numbers back, we just didnt pick up the goalscorer and the deflection off Digne did us no favours. Not his greatest game, to be expected though.

yeah i commented somewhere else that Salah and Bruno definitely get those pens. I still dont personally think that makes it a pen though. You see this type of contact all the time in free kicks and corners. Just my personal opinion it isnt quite enough contact, which is probably why Ollie is able to get a cleanish strike away.

not written him off, just trying to work out what i expect. I dont think i see him as a starter, i think hes probably in with Bailey, Tielemans, Ramsey, Carlos starting 10-20 games a season and featuring in nearly every games. Thats not a criticism. The big plus for me is how quickly he has come in and actually been effective. Hes played a lot of games already and hasnt looked like a stranger at all.

i wouldnt describe it as outrageous. Its a definite push but probably gentle enough to go down as contact. Of course id have liked the pen, if its given against us though im arguing and calling it a stupid challenge. If the ref gives it, i think VAR keeps it as a pen, if he doesnt i dont think theirs enough personally to over turn it.

While I've enjoyed his cameos, I often wonder if he offers more than say a Traore? He's a slightly different player as his size and physicality is a good weapon for us but I'm fairly sure Traore would have outscored him given the same game time.

Its a very difficult situation to balance, at some point it looks like we maybe paying Ollie Watkins c150k per week at the age of 32.

Henry Lansbury was recently on Ben Foster pod cast and spoke a bit about Johan. If you ignore the poor form then Henry comes across as very likeable and professional. He mentions Johan as the one who put him out of the 25 man squad and then made him train with the reserves. Seemingly Johan was pulling a number of these strings over Dean himself. None of it surprises me, it's the cut throat nature of football but I often wondered him much power these footballers have and how much they continue to have over the manager.

I quite like the kit, not the sweaty part but the design has really grown on me, like it does every year.

Give us a champions league game at home to psg and you'll hear an atmosphere. Sometimes you need the opponent, the occasion for it to come.
