He’d have literally fuck all to lose. Tax the merchant banks on every transaction they make and say it’s to fund the NHS instead of giving the perception (and ammunition to your opposition) that you’re targeting pensioners. It would be the right wing press Starmer would’ve had to have dealt with but not really anyone else (Badenoch is an irrelevance) he may have also been able to snare Farage on his CoL past..the entire institution and concept of the CoL is bent as fuck, expose that like the Covid PPE procurement scandal and you look like you're on the side of punters and not giving your implicit consent to world wide white collar crime. Vested interests would have gone through the roof exposing themselves further.

Eddie Howe making more demands, I’m sure

Quit before he was fired, the duck-lipped useless cunt.

What surprises me about the stat is that Forest are so low down on the sprints. Their whole counter-attacking ethos was based on Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White and predominately, Elanga sprinting like fuck. You're right to call out that Leicester did it with better players but there seems to be a general view (especially from the Sky Sports lot) that low possession is a bad thing. Surely winning games where your players aren't having to put in the miles / sprint continuously is a good thing? Certainly reduces the injury risk.

Is it fair to see whatever political party is in, they're scared to go 'there' with taxing the rich?

Although if you make it a prediction we’re safe.

fair point

I can completely agree with all this but cutting the WFA was bad politics when you’ve gone nowhere near the tax haven that is the City of London. Standing up to the bully boys in the media over something like that would’ve been better than having Nigel Farage stealing your policies and running your government less than a year after taking office..tbh if a group emerge that can persuade Burnham to stand at the next by election then Starmer is toast. That’s highly unlikely even if Burnham was willing so hopefully Starmer at best may be able to form a government with the Lib Dems in 2029. I can’t think of a single Labour cabinet member who could replace him, that’s the only thing keeping him there for the duration.

Hope the BBC hasn't made the mistake of signing him for the new look MOTD.

I saw a clip of (I think) Max and Paddy they go into a muslim shop with a pig. The comments were 'Imagine that now, all the woke lot would be up in arms' etc. Just comments from Gammons saying poor it is we can't have stuff like this on TV now. I mean, how would they feel if Muslims did a 'comedy show' showing them slaughtering an old man who stormed the beaches at Normandy for the 'lols'

It’s prawn balls and Canadian Clubs all round in the @Howmanheyman household tonight!! 😀

Absolutley smashing. But man Gazza.

Had it on again at the wedding on Saturday ☺️

He's better than Farage. I was hoping for some stability, transparency and competence rather than some idealogical revolution that probably can't realistically happen in 2025. Increasingly it's looking like I have hoped for too much. Let's take winter fuel payments for instance. It was absolutely the right thing to do to scrap them imo, they're existence is not fair or logical. Poorer pensioners can be helped out in other ways. But now it looks like they are going to u turn for political reasons, and worse, they've done it in such a way it won't even help them. Terrible comms, naive political instict, and no back bone will cost them and possibly let Farage in if we're not careful, who of course is offering the moon on a stick. Then we'll have something to complain about. The only saving grace is we're 4 years away still, anything can happen.

Forest… a sad sack of counter attackers now shown in stat form. Leicester played similarly when they won the title in 2016 but they had the advantage of 2/3 world class players.. Kante, Mahrez and arguably Vardy. Forest had Chris Wood, Anthony Elanga and Ryan Yates…

It's not really telling us much though. Pitching distance covered against number of sprints. As is alluded to it provides possible explanation for injuries. There'd be far more value if one of these was pitched against a measurable outcome - goals, points, etc.

Funny you should say that as I then went on Tik tok as saw this. A very scary 10 seconds

Interesting graphic - 3rd in the number of sprints and also distance covered this season. Intensity still very much part of our indentity.

What amused me was it succinctly demonstrated Agbonlahor doesn't pay attention and underpins the fact he's an absolutely shit pundit. The Birmingham fan clearly states he things the ref made an error buy that moron responds as if the bloke had said it wasn't a foul. Listen to what's being said, dickhead.

I'm just away to clean the insides of my ears with wire brush and Dettol after listening to that exchinge of opinions and conversightion butwine thowse two.
