I know there's hungry kids out there but battering eye lids is a bit extreme. Still, probably not much worse than what's in battered sausages.

Get Carol Smilie and PaddockLad in and they'll have it finished before tea time.

Think again.

He's not getting any tea after his mum coming home from bingo to find he'd curled one out of the coffee table and tried to cover it up with a few books.

Moshiri is a billionaire. Is he just refusing to put any more of this own money into the club? If so then that really is tremendous work by the Everton fans.

Ireland receives roughly 2000 asylum applications a month. They're now claiming that 80% of those are from people crossing from NI to ROI, that's 1600 people. It wouldn't go unnoticed if that amount of people were taking the ferry across in a single month. Basically I think the Irish government are full of shit. And we're actually quite multi-cultural over here. My town even has a dark skinned fella living here now, possibly a Portuguese, or maybe someone just back from a fortnight in Benidorm, it's hard to tell.

I don't think you need ID to get across on the ferry but I'm sure that busloads to brown skinned fellas suddenly deciding to take a trip to Larne would ring some alarm bells. The issue for the Tories isn't the small boats, it's the fact that the people are applying for asylum in the UK. If they knew that a large percentage of those landing in Dover were then going to make their way on to Ireland then they wouldn't be nearly as worried about it. This isn't a British or Irish problem, it's a European problem and until there's one co-ordinated solution it's going to keep happening. There needs to be one set of European asylum decision making and successful applicants distributed fairly across Europe. Asylum is about reaching safety, not necessarily settling in your preferred country.

I guess it shows that the policy is working then? I haven’t seen any evidence of the Irish government’s claim that 80% of asylum claimants are coming from NI. In any case, how are they getting here? Unless they’re getting across the Irish Sea via people smugglers then I just don’t see how any sizeable number of asylum seekers can do it.

It's should be somewhat surprising that as the 'chartered' accountant between us you're the one who doesn't understand basic finance. However, it is entirely predictable.

Put aside whether he's a good fit for our side (spoiler alert: he isn't) then he's on at least £300k per week. It's a non-starter.

This is the shit we’re up against regarding PSR. Fanks Mike.

A beautiful tribute to the great man.

That is funny given how utterly shit Chelsea have been.

Yes but the anchoring element is irrelevant unless we can grow our revenues substantially.

I think it's basically to stop the biggest earning clubs taking advantage of the 85% figure as obviously that will be multiples of the revenue of the lowest earning club. But in effect I don't think this will really change anything as it's only really Man City and Chelsea that are adversely affected by it.

Not really, the 85% spending cap as a percentage of revenue still applies and is reduced to 70% by UEFA rules.

"You fuckin' what, mate?"

What's been going on at The Vermont now?

Fair play to this little scamp.

World class, just not at football.

I didn't know wyki was a closet St. Mirren fan.

They’ve still got Chelsea, City and Liverpool to play. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
