Or more accurately, let's not spend £30m+ to find out cos can we fuck afford an expensive mistake.

Aye Brighton love developing young talent. It's their business model. But they've given up on Ferguson.

He's a fucking cripple.

It's mental because the schools don't have enough staff as it is, but they're laying permanent staff off and replacing them with supply teachers and newly qualifieds (who will probably leave teaching within 5 years anyway because it's such a broken profession) cos it's cheaper. It's such a fucking mess. The schools obviously don't want to do it, but they're in an impossible position because their budgets are fixed and the govt is telling them to magic up pay rises from an unchanging total. It's criminal.

Pragmatism vs Fantasy. FANTASY WINS. FLAWLESS VICTORY

I can't get myself exercised about this. I wonder if this is part of the reason you can't even see the crest on some of the more recent gear though.

My lass, a teacher of 25 years, had the word redundancy chucked at her recently. The pay rises that teachers have had recently, and the ones currently being decided upon have involved no additional funding from government who just say the schools need to find it from their existing budgets. Which as you can imagine, are already stretched further than they should go. It's fucking ridiculous.

Having seen tbd's tattoos, I just hope there's a ballot between him and his vote.

Looks like a freshly mowed lawn.

Absolute RIPPA!

Problem with that is they'll soon be getting called insensitive for contacting dead people to ask them about the club crest. They've got to draw the line at people who they know they have up to date information on.

A man in his 50s that still stands up like a big boy to wipe his bum bum needs to PIPE DOWN.

That fucker on the left is 39?!

YOU'RE a fucking cripple!

How long did it take him to start Hall regularly? How much game time has Osula seen? Cos we need a second striker that's ready to go on day 1 next season. Miley wouldn't have got as much game time as he did if we weren't basically down to 11 fit players.

Howe doesn't play kids. You can get a younger option in to develop, but he's not getting any meaningful game time.

Would be fine with me. Next to no risk cos he's free and a decent enough option off the bench. We're not going to have the money to do everything in one window and strikers are expensive.

He's still probably gonna cost £30m+ though. I think if they want a big lump up front, the DCL rumours will turn out to be true. Free and his injury record will mean we should be able to keep his wages down.

I'd rather Man United or Spurs than Villa or Chelsea tbf. They're both much more likely to squander the opportunity.

I have it on good authority that Howe was at the Bryan Adams concert last night. Oof.

Up until this point, I was sure this was a dogging trip btw.

I suppose there's not much sound proofing in your teepee on that hippy commune.

tbd for definite.

Team news for this one will be out at 10:45 on Sunday morning. Canny ridiculous. Some of you tramps will still be in your pit.

The lower tariff on cars is only for the first 100,000 sold, from what I've read. Then it's back up. No idea how many we usually sell to them but assume it's more than 100k.
