    Great first half. Not playing with any particular composure but the energy levels and urgency are making such a difference. Dropped off a bit after 25 minutes or so but hopefully pick it up a bit again after a break. The best Matos could do in less than a week is get the tempo and urgency up...

    If you can’t support us when we lose or draw don’t support us when we win.

    To be fair though, those were the days when players were not getting millions of pounds a year. I think it’s a bit different now that the money sloshing about is so high.

    Budget November 2025

    A colleague has the Electric Audi SUV thing and loves it. Bloody expensive though. Although west London at the moment you’d think the only car available is the new Defender. There are loads of them. It looks like the Traitors half the time. They look lovely but the price of them is unbelievable.

    Budget November 2025

    Absolutely agree with both those thoughts. Only change from that is I’d have reduced NI under UEL by the 2% they should have upped income tax but increased by 1% over UEL, so lower rate is 6% and upper 3% instead if 8% and 2% currently. I suggested a week or so ago an additional 1% VAT on non...

    Agree. Just someone not thinking is my guess.

    Budget November 2025

    The metadata apparently shows that it may have been available for hours overnight. It was only when Reuters found it and started tweeting out the contents that alerted anyone. the link wasn’t posted it was just in the site. Absolutely shocking mind. I think they’re investigating whether it was...

    Budget November 2025

    Yeah. Not sure they’ve got longer than May but they’ve got at least a few months that they may not have otherwise had. The OBR is absolutely ridiculous. Osborne’s fault of course.

    Budget November 2025

    lol. She put some balancing figures at the end of her spreadsheet to keep the spreadsheet police happy because the spreadsheet police charge very very high fines if they’re unhappy, but she will be hoping she may not need to use them if the earlier part of her spreadsheet proves to be more...

    Budget November 2025

    One of the most interesting parts of the budget and it hasn’t been mentioned here yet, is how obviously it was a budget designed solely to meet fiscal rules for the sake of the bond markets. And it’s pretty much worked. The yields on long term government bonds dropped yesterday by a bigger...

    Good. At last someone who didn’t talk nonsense about how encouraging our performance was when we can all see how bad it is. Positive.

    What Ewe Watching

    Prisoner 951 on iPlayer is excellent. The story of Nazarin Zaghari Ratcliffe’s imprisonment in Iran. 4 hour long episodes. Watch it and weep.

    I can’t use my left foot either. Mind you, I can’t really use my right.

    I was thinking that this evening. One stopper is fine but we need one who can play. I’d try Casey instead of Burgess.

    I thought his work rate in the first half tonight was good to be fair to him.

    I agree re the first half. I certainly am one of those that has criticised him as I think he’s gone backwards in the last season or two and it filled me with despair when I saw his name on the team sheet last season and the beginning of this. But as I said in Saturday , it has got to the point...

    Yep - there’s a lot of that goes on. I’m sure the NHS would have quite a lot more money to spend on clearing waiting lists if they didn’t spend quite so much on consultants at a grand a day.
