Don’t do classy often, more likely to find one of the good local pubs serving real ale or a high quality craft beer. Mind you, our Cotswolds rose garden goes pretty nicely with a floral pale ale.

He certainly does for our generation but politics is way more fragmented now which is a journey it’s been on since 2008 really with the Brexit referendum as an accelerant towards the Remain bloc (Lab-Lib-Green) and Leave (Reform-ERGTory-Rupert party) we have now. People are changing allegiance within those blocs but not often between them.

One of Alex’s friends. If it happens, it would be before end of June. They’ll keep offences and points within seasons generally.

Currie probably the difference with 4/18.

Or football club, in England at any rate. As you say, the FA enquiry will make it untenable and he will be the EFL’s price for closing the book on 25/26.

His agent has been very busy since Sunday - Man U, Liverpool and PSG all linked and figure of £80m cited.

I take these statements from under-pressure owners with a pinch of salt but at a more micro level, it’s absolutely what’s happened at SFC since 2017. It’s just that SR accelerated the bus towards the cliff and enthusiastically drove it over the edge to break it finally (see what I did there). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c3v22p6nvx5o SFC went away from the focus on sound football decision-making structures that served it so well 2009-17. Under Semmens, which SR doubled-down on, there’s been a focus on very young and untried players in senior player. Ironically the January window was the first departure from the blunt formula and it actually worked! The core spine of the team and structure of the squad has been fatally overlooked in favour of individual transactions and profit received from those as a sole measure of success. The multi-club set up has been to SFC’s deteriment. There is no strategy for where SFC should be in the football structure which probably reflects the huge churn in DoFs and managers leading to a pot pourri of playing styles and approaches. Until the basics are in place, and SR decides what/how far it wants to invest in a loss-making current division to get back to the stated football destination and vision, I cannot see any progress under SR and far more decline.

Yet more emerging on Robert Kenyon’s behaviour online, Reform using the standard Trump excuse of ‘locker room banter’ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/reform-uk-robert-kenyon-comments-misogynistic-b2983146.html

Probably targets in their appraisals about how much player profit they make.

Lost there 2-1 season before that according to a Saints highlight reel I saw? Would’ve been our first season back in the top flight and their very first. Following season City went down, and down, and down. Which is how a young Roy Hodgson had his first spell there as they hovered above receivership. Wolves did the same thing a couple of years later.

You must have been at this one unless it was at a pre-season friendly http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/3204811.stm

Death. Taxes and losing at Ashton Gate.
