  1. Hunt's plan seems suspiciously cut and pasted from the Labour manifesto
  2. I think the Mister Chops Christmas Panto was the best post ever made on here.
  3. Both Matthew Benham(Brentford) and Tony Bloom(Brighton) became multi-millionaires with the mathematical modelling of football games, and then using that data to beat the bookies. Given how advanced and evolved the market is in the UK now, I struggle to see anyone from the US being able to add much though. https://theathletic.com/3029279/2021/12/24/cold-war-brighton-tony-bloom-matthew-benham-brentford/
  4. I think one of the biggest things in the Farke system was having two full backs with genuine pace. Once Aarons and Lewis came into the team it helped to make the overall system work. That and Buendia, and Pukki playing through the middle.
  5. Asked how much money he has invested into the Bluebirds, Tan won't give an exact figure. "But it's more than £200million," he states. "Actually the figure is a bit embarrassing. It's too big."
  6. I'm not sure if anyone watched the Southampton Newcastle game, but thought Southampton played quite well. They lacked anyone who could shoot though, and Newcastle were clinical. So I struggle to see anyone getting an improvement out of Southampton.
  7. Nathan Jones seems an odd choice, has done very well at Luton but failed with Stoke. Though Michael O'Neill and Alex Neil didn't fair much better.
  8. Bank of England predicting a two year recession and unemployment to double to 6%
  9. Bank of England Base Rate up by 0.75%.
  10. I believe that either Sunak or Truss supplied so much damning evidence to the Parliamentary Committee that Johnson was screwed.
  11. I doubt it. He's being cagey because under normal circumstances the top two candidates would be voted on by the party membership. I think the expectation is that a deal will be done so that the second placed candidate simply concedes, and gets a top cabinet post in return. It's happened before. I think Leadsom conceded to Theresa May for example.
  12. So almost 24 hours after saying at PMQs "I'm a fighter, not a quitter", she erm quit 😛
  13. Though the Chief and Deputy whips have just resigned
  14. Though it sounds like that they just didn't turn up, not they they supported the Labour motion. For all the noise and the blustering, looks like no Tories voted for the ban.
  15. Cheers guys. I won't bother posting what happened next then.
  16. This Craig Bellamy? https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/how-norwich-city-saved-craig-bellamy-30-000-but-still-578858 Craig Bellamy has revealed he offered Robbie Savage and his Derby team-mates £30,000 to scupper Norwich City's Championship promotion two years ago. Canaries' academy product Bellamy was on loan at promotion rivals – and his boyhood club – Cardiff as the 2010-11 season entered its climax, with newly promoted Norwich in the box seat and the Welshmen breathing down their necks. And while some part of him might have enjoyed his first professional club flying high, Bellamy reveals in his newly released autobiography Goodfella he put his money on the line to realise his dream of helping Cardiff to the Premier League. 'It was between us and Norwich,' said Bellamy. 'They were playing Derby and if they got anything other than a win, we would move ahead of them into second. 'Robbie Savage was playing for Derby at the time and I spoke to him the day before the game. I told him that if they won I'd give him £30,000 to share between them all. Pay for a night out, have a meal, do whatever you want. I told Sav I'd even give him the money if they got a draw. That's how desperate I was.
