£16,250...that's how much, .....

Is that a week or a month RA?

Asking for a friend. 🤔

I am not prepared to marry Emilia Fox but if she wants an afternoon where we explore the insides of our bodies I would be happy to oblige.

She'd definitely be welcome to the best 90 seconds of my life.

Poor Things

Frankenstein meets Edward Scissorhands and Only Fans!

Enjoyed this black comedy immensely. Emma Stone is hilarious.

Paul Jewell (for context only), otherwise 9/10.

'Trickle down' on anything other than a lemon drizzle cake is the biggest con and load of bollox since Adam was created.

Earnest Saunders (Guinness - insider trading) got released early as his matey doctor saod he had Alzheimer's disease.

He made a miraculous recovery once released, the only person ever to do so.

Well after nearly 4 hours of football, Notts have finally managed to get their noses in front...

 

The whole of L1 put together is only €220m. 😂

Blackpool had plenty of chances to win that.

Wood has a face that asks for a slap.

Blackpool fluff their chance. 😭

I can't remember the actual figures, but the privitised railway operators get something like 5x the subsidies in real terms than the old British Rail.

But it's perfectly acceptable now, as that money is being trousered by shareholders!!!

115 charges is a lot, I grant you that.

So why not break them down, 10 at a time in chronological order. 

I suspect you're right, PL write it off, or come to an agreement with Man City where they pay X million fine and grassroots funding, try and spin it into a positive for the game and a win for them.

A bit like Bernie Ecclestone in his bribery case in Germany. He paid £60,000,000 and basically became 'innocent'.

Shameless.

In no attempt whatsoever to de-politicise this, anyone working class votes precisely for this scenario when they put their X in the Tory box, (no matter how much they want to deny it).

Tugging forelocks is optional.

A bit more evidence of corporate greed in overdrive here:

Do Man City have a game?

I don't think he's done anything particularly wrong, but he doesn't look as confident or as match ready as Wildsmith. I didn't think Wildsmith deserved to be dropped, but I'd happily see him back in as I think he's the better of the two keepers.

Thought the Burton goalie looked decent, despite letting 3 in. The double-save was fantastic and he stood-up to NML later.

A win is a win but it is clear we need a mobile, athletic central midfielder with pace. Bird and Conor are just not quick enough. We seem to lose the battle so often there. Think Warne should have bolstered the central midfield 20 minutes earlier. Just an observation, Vickers not convincing, poor handling and kicking. Thought Wilson did ok but Elder poor. Who knows what that goal will mean come the end of the season 😊🐏

Bird is too slow and too negative. He's like a crap Bryan Robson

He wasn't that good

Thommo on for JJ

Er, those having a dig, JJ's flick set-up our goal?

Average salary (a year) £24,000 Starter. £65,000 Experienced.

Typical hours (a week) 35 to 40 a week.

Less than an MP who get (very generous) pay rises year on year, and some 'work' a lot less than 35 hours a week.

I believe train drivers haven't had a pay rise since 2019.
