I didn’t say they didn’t work as hard. Again and again and again, I’ll make my point, everyone has just been rewarded with more cash in their pocket that they didn’t have Thursday. Clear ?

 Yes everyone as received monetary help during this difficult period. The issue is those that can more easily manage through this crisis, are the one receiving the greater percentage of the financial help.

You said people need to work harder, if they want to get the same rewards as those higher up the pay scale. So implying those higher up the pay scale work harder than those lower down the pay scale. So I'll ask again, how do you equate who is working harder?

You have me wrong Stive, I’m not furious about any of it, quite the opposite.  I think it’s a good thing “everyone” who’s earning a living is benefiting from the new NI, Tax reductions and energy handouts. 
I am also a big believer for those who work hard and better themselves should be rewarded for it, is that wrong? 

You keep going on about rewarding those who work hard. How do you equate who is working harder than someone else. I'm sure many workers on minimum wage work as hard as those earning ten times as much. 

So when is a budget not a budget?

When the Chancellor of the Exchequer doesn't want the OBR,  (Office of Budget Responsibility), giving an independent analyses on what impact his budget would have on the country's economy.

Well it looks like the market's reaction and the way the pound is going. Are already showing what the OBR would have said about the government's tax cuts and the negative impact they would have.

Hell, it even sounds as if some bankers aren't impressed with the Chancellor and they were the ones in line, to make a few bob in bonuses.

Regarding any actual football played, Italy were marginally better than us. When it came to commitment and the desire to win the ball, Italy were streets ahead.

With the exception of pickford that looks like his first choice xi. 

So looks like warming up for Qatar. Better hope the performance is better..... 

If this is our first choice XI. Will it mean the premiership will be able to start the season a couple of weeks earlier than expected

So are Asda. Is this a government backed campaign to get us all so pissed, we won't care what they are doing.

I'm no financial experts but doesn't a run on the pound usually end up with banks making hugh profits, while leaving us to pay for it.

The scrapping of the cap on bankers' bonuses, couldn't have been fortuitous. Well it's good to know they'll now be suitably rewarded for all their hard work, of making us poorer, over the next couple of days.

I'd see a doctor about that stammer. That's if you can get in to see one.

There again you could always use that something you didn't have yesterday and go private

An extra £1000 handout to the rich, while the lowest paid get only a tenth of that.

The 1st bit what can I say, other than I hope you’re ok and doing well. Personally I don’t think we should put any more cash than we do into the NHS, we should rather use the money more wisely, cut down and the bureaucratic tick boxing waste pit it’s becoming. 
 

The 2nd bit, yep during hard times this government is now putting money back into the working persons pocket and good for them. Also maybe, just maybe at times like these the answer is to work a little harder and try and earn a bit more instead of whining and whinging it’s not fair.

Yes lets all work harder during these difficult times. Care to tell me how nurses, care workers and refuge workers can work harder? If you can, they may be able to earn enough to get them into that exclusive top 5% that will receive 75% of the money the government are giving back in tax cuts.

Agreed, its a good job the previous Labour government werent involved in deregulation of said banks...oh wait...

The greater part of bank deregulation was under the Thatcher government.

Apparently Churchill told our late Queen, the farther you go back in time, the farther forward we will see.

So how far back would we need to go, to enable us to see into the near future and identify who is actually responsible for this coming financial crisis we are facing?

 @G STAR RAM went back to Blair's nineties and @Eddie went back to Thatcher's eighties.

Maybe the seventies of Heath and Callaghan or even the Victorian era of Disraeli and Gladstone, could hold the answer.

Me, I'm just going to the Cameron,May,Johnson and Truss era, to identify those responsible for the poo show that is facing the people of our country.

If they change the K to a R, then I could think about forgiving the bamfords.

With how the club's situation was before the start of the season. I was certain we wouldn't be blowing away teams in this league and the chance of promotion was just a distant dream. I'd have been happy if we had sat comfortably in mid-table for the season and avoided any worries about relegation.

While the players we've recruited are better than I thought we'd get, due to the limitations imposed on us by the EFL. The chances of automatic promotion still feels like an impossibility, getting into the play-offs is still a big ask. But if Liam can manage to tweak a few things and get us consistently firing on all cylinders, then we could be a serious contender.

Wildsmith 7

Chester 6

Knight 6

Roberts 6

Cashin 6

Davies 6

McGoldrick 7.5

Sibley 6.5

Hourihane 6.5

Mendez-Laing 6

Bird 6

Collins 6

Barkhuizen 6.5

Forsyth 6

Hourihane only got the extra half mark for the goals. Overall an average performance like most of the team.

I for one am shocked that their strategy of spending £150m is not working out for them. Shocked I tell you.

To right you should be shocked. I'd have thought £100m would have been plenty for Olympiacos to win the Greek league next season.

I rather eat my own s**** than entertain such half arsed banality.

All star 'football' games, all star baseball games, all star basketball games, ooh and lets not forget the all star ice hockey games.

Welcome to the world that Americans consider sport.

Surprised he hasn't suggested splitting up the teams into smaller groups and playing similar to how the NFL operates. With a money spinning super bowl as the final game of the season. That and removing worry of relegation.

The commentator on tv as answered my question. Looks as if the privileged few are excused having to queue.

With the number of people worrying about their financial situation, due to the soaring cost of living.

It's good to see the government are planning to ease the worrys of a section of the community, that's struggled recently.

Our new Chancellor of the Exchequer is going to scrap the cap on the bonuses that our destitute bankers can be paid.

It's a relief to know that bankers will be able to stop burning twenty pound notes and return to using fifty pound notes to light their cigars.

And all this achieved without a picket line in sight.

Ooh look: time wasting

We're getting quit good at it aren't we.  Playing the ball around in our own half before passing it back to Wildsmith. So he can start the whole process again. Must waste at least half n hour each game.
