bloody hell that's impressive. well done sir.

Taxi drivers? bit a sweeping generalisation and odd comment. Still no surprise you know who liked it😂

Theres your problem. We are a self titled player trading club. Our objective is to make money from player sales. Now in the real world is the top 5-6 clubs will get all the best talent, it's how it is. When we were at our best we were a shop window club, bringing in top youngish talent and letting them showcase themselves in the premier league before getting a big move. There is no shame in that, Dortmund have that model and are masters at it. Our problems started when we thought we'd cracked the code and tried to do it with every player. Rather than having a good core of players like we did with Davis, Bertrand, Pelle, Fonte, etc and adding in 4-5 YHGTIers around them we tried to build an entire team based on what we could sell them for and it backfired. We also tried to keep signing players for 10-15m when the value of that sort of player had gone up. So we ended up with a 2-3 players for one position none of which were good enough and we couldn't sell. This cost us more than actually buying 1 decent player per position and was the reason for our decline. If we sell a player for 60m+ to a top club brilliant bring it on, bigger clubs than us do it. But lets not then replace them with 2 players for 15m and hope one of them comes good, otherwise you end up right where we are now. Screwed.

no idea, not my thing at all. Taxi drivers seem to love them mind

Bet they aren't. It's the gravy train to be on.

prices are crashing too apparently, my mate is buying one as he's been looking at the for a while but now good value 😂

Rashford is shit

Sod waiting lists this is the important stuff guess this is what having dozens of Diversity officers on best part of £100 grand a year gets you

he was stuck out on the wing friday night and he's not a winger, he needs to be playing either centrally or at least further inside, he's brilliant at finding pockets of space, hes not going to accelerate past people like Saka does.

if you drive a car i'll tax the street if you try to sit i'll tax the seat if you you get cold i'll tax the heat if you take a walk i'll tax your feet

So it turns out this was all a big mistake from HMRC!!! Called them today as i'd been charged interest on the "debt" discussed with first guy who admitted that i shouldn't have been charged interest, but still owed 1,500 but put me through to the debt team to organise payment. They were quite aggressive insisting i had to pay within 6 months or i'd be assessed for income, when i questioned (not for the first time) how this had even happened given i'm PAYE and do a tax return he put me on hold for 20 mins, came back and said carry on holding, put me through to another person who said i had already paid it back in tax year 2023/24 and owed nothing. Whist this was good news for me they would happily have taken payment for the full amount if i hadnt questioned it or put me through an income assessment which is quite intrusive. I'm wondering how many people have had similar issues and not questioned it. Cant trust these fuckers.

watched Black Doves which i thought was great, thanks for the reminder on Day of the Jackal as not seen that yet but was on the list Started Adolescence last night, brilliant, brilliant stuff. Stephen Graham is always excellent so knew it would be good. I've got a son slightly younger than the character in this so found it gripping.

hope it wasn't after nine pints.....

Wonder how much of people money actually goes in tax. You've got income tax, council tax, VAT, then everything you buy it taxed. To buy something for 60p, most people have to earn a pound. 12p of that 60p is VAT, then there are taxes on the suppliers, their suppliers, the fuel duties to deliver the product. Bet the product with all multiple layers of taxes stripped away actually costs 1/5 or less of what you end up paying for it.

Streakers were usually just birds that liked getting their knockers out, no?
