The Charlton thing sounds a lot like the same blag they pulled on us. No doubt they're already talking to any mug who will listen about the millions they'll bring into the local economy. As above, next up will be some kind of mysterious investment scheme so that they can become the biggest...

The real piss take, is how they just expect to rock up straight into the Championship because... well they're called Wasps innit. Charlton should be very, very wary. I don't think it's a done deal with the RFU yet; the other championship rugby clubs, and those hoping for promotion to it, might...

And on a slightly different note, thoughts on why austerity (from a new, New Labour government no less), is a really bad idea. This genuinely depresses me... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/04/keir-starmer-rachel-reeves-austerity

There are dozens if not hundreds of different types of fraud out there, all related to on-line rather than over the counter transactions. Google "bank won't repay fraud", and you'll get a feel for it and for where people feel justifiably wronged. I've been on both sides of the Ombudsman/FCA...

Hmm... I work in banking, and have done for a good few years. Some of these scams are far, far more sophisticated than that, and I can tell you now that banks don't always make it easy to recover funds that people have been conned out of. From where I'm sitting, there's joint responsibility...

All of our current midfield give me range anxiety at moment - I'd be more than happy to get someone like James in to support them, even if he's got a few miles on the clock. 😁

Torture. At least Bassette looked promising. I've no idea what the plan is to score. Simms is a waste of space if we're not putting it into the box. We've coached Tats out of taking players on, and the midfield stopped tackling after half-time. Tedious slow, build up play, and a system that...

10 to go. Keep possession and pray for some individual brilliance to rescue us, seems to be the extent of the plan. There's no fight, bite, or spite in this team. It's a fucking awful watch.

Just some energy, please...

We need to bring on Palmer to shake this up. Oh.

Early cross causes them problems. Will we learn...

Bidwell was tucked in, are we sure that wasn't Wright's man? Regardless, we're so slow building it's torturous. The endless cutting back inside from wide positions kills me, no one except Wright wants to drive into the box, it feels like. Simms looks like he's running in diving boots half the...

Jeez, happy-clappers vs bedwetters. There's nowt like a disparaging label to replace sensible debate. I'm not seeing much in the way of "attacks" here mate, just some differences in opinion. If you've got a point, then make it. If you don't like it being challenged, then maybe this forum...

Played Sunday League at a very low level for very long time. Still play five (approx) -a-side with many of the same lads, almost forty years on since we started as a regular kick about. I'm even slower now, but the benefit of never being that good, means that I haven't got much worse. 😄 I love...

Funnily enough, Simms was starting to get on my nerves in the second half, because I thought he wasn't really putting in the effort. I suspect part of that is because we weren't getting him the ball, and part of it is that when you start looking for bad things in players, you can over focus on...

Well, we were doing alright until you got here mate! 😁 Going forward, some tidy stuff, until we take our foot off the gas. Defensively, bit shaky when they break quickly, imho. Could end 5-4 this.

Every job is a piece of piss, except mine, seems to be the theme here. If it's so straightforward, why does it take 18-24 months' worth of training to become a train driver. Why aren't we all applying to do it? I'm guessing one reason is that it's actually fairly technical, and the other is...

Indeed, so you'll be supporting substantial wage rises across the NHS and care sector then, I presume? Or are you one of those people that stood outside loudly banging the saucepan, and then went inside and quietly voted Tory? 😁

You mean the territory that is still considered as illegally occupied by Israel, those Golan heights? Regardless, if you're trying to make some kind of historical justification for the ongoing genocide in Gaza, well you're just dead wrong I'm afraid. It's sickening, and should be called out...

Bit of both really. Putin needed ammunition (esp artillery), North Korea needs... well everything really, but petrol, food, and technology is what Russia is likely providing. North Korean troops in Europe though, not sure about that. I suspect the glorious leader, Kim, would worry about them...
