The last time we did that it didn't quite go to plan....hopefully this time it's better!

Everton looked well off it and we looked very good, plenty of positives to take from that game all over the pitch. Even with ours subs made we were still on top and looking likely to score again. If players can keep the performance levels up we will have a few selection dilemmas in attack and...

No, fair enough, you didn't and i've read your post again. I do reserve the right to complain about inflation and interest rates though, unless it's proven to be those payrises driving it 😆

I'm not sure i follow if i'm honest. You say 'no' but then end by saying any public sector payrises will cause further inflation and higher interest rates....the only way to avoid this would be to keep payrises below inflation indefinitely. Inflation is influenced by far more factors than just...

And now they appear to have shifted their position and i'm happy they have done so. It will cost the country less on balance over time in my opinion.

A position i may be more supportive of if the past 14 years hadnt been a succession of supposed reasons that 'pay restraint' in the public sector were a necessity. You're correct that someone will pay for it, but the public sector has been told to carry the can for as long as i can recall now...

Are you saying the public sector should forever receive below inflationary payrises then? Because otherwise the private sector will use that as their starting position?

Your line of argument might work if previous public sector pay awards had been linked to the rate of inflation. They weren't. Something above inflation now will go some small way to repairing the gradual erosion over time of those employee's remuneration but there's a fuckong big delta all the same.

Think they were 17 when it began, no idea what that means with regard to sending/generating images and i believe the lad onvolved didnt want to cooperate and it was his parents reporting Edwards. Maybe this is actually something else?

No definitely involved a child and i think at the time there were strong hints he was sectioned to stop him killing himself. This looks like the next stage of investigations into it all

This is most likely directly linked to the stories out previously that he'd been paying somebody for explicit images, starting while they were a minor

Which problem specifically and how is it to be solved?

I just hope nobody has died. The details on the bbc reporting are fairly limited but even just reading some of that is horrendous enough.

A mate has told me this is showing as sold out but that would seem nuts to have done 3,000 at more than 1300 points??

Seems like a sensible position to me. Unless we get a lot of injuries id not expect him to play an awful lot and he's perfectly capable to play that kind of role in the squad at what i'd expect to be reasonable wages.

Fucking baffling that wanting to wait for more than a short video clip before coming to a solid conclusion is attracting criticism on here. There's plenty more to be made known about this story and i really hope whatever investigations go ahead result in it being made known. I'd be amazed if...

From what ive seen on the internet (Twitter in the main) the incident has been seized upon by various different groups to further their various agendas. The initial footage was just long enough to spark a wild reaction that has then got a predictable counter, the shame is that the 2nd video...

Dont they have that Vipotnik lad that got a few mentions on here, maybe last summer?

Depends what you class as an era really but the SISU years are the grimmest i've experienced. Within those years i reckon the Slade 'era' felt the worst, it's a fucking crowded field though. I'm so glad we have the hope and optimism around the club now that can bring us all together on threads...

I don't think we are far off at all. Probably need a replacement for Godden and maybe some competition at RB. I think signings anywhere else on the pitch are likely to be about upgrading on what we have as our depth looks relatively good now (assuming Andrews, Burroughs, Rodriguez etc are good...
