    They will only do that if Trump gives up Taiwan. Which is a decent probability.

    Totally agree. But also the narrative from media/ex-pros etc - "too early in the game for a red card", or "the ref has changed the game with that decision" - no the player/manager has done that by breaking a rule. All BS. Rules apply to everyone.

    It was a couple of days ago. He said Spam going down would cost the London taxpayer £2.5 million (lost revenue rather than direct cost presumably). It was a stupid thing to say as it works out at something like 30p a year per Londoner to make up the deficit or perhaps take it from catering...

    Don't think it is financially corrupt but think there is a massive bias and pressure to ensure uncontroversial results based on any of their decisions.. Call it wrong against Fergie or at Anfield and refs lives were made hell in the media and they subconciously played it safe the next time they...

    That approach is an open door for managers, such as we have seen with Arteta and his set piece routines. Where would it end? Agree with why the refs are possibly doing it but that isn't their call to make. If it has been a directive of the EPL in order to make the game flow better than they...

    Stat I find odd is that the visibly and obviously dirtiest side we have seen in the history of the EPL, dirtier than Stoke, more cynical than Emirates Marketing Project, are set to become the first champions ever to win the title with no red cards or penalties awarded against them. That just doesn't add up to...

    Sensible estimate is that we are probably at 35% of potential capacity.

    Wasn't it more that ENIC had bought out Sugar only a year before that and weren't thought to be likely to sell at a reasonable price? May have my timelines confused but don't think we were on the market in the same way that bankrupt Ken Bates has Chelsea. Also didn't we sign foreigners such as...

    32% voter turnout last week, 59% in last general election. Not sure we can read that much into what happened last week. Hopefully Reform's overall vote share will continue to decline as it did in the last 12 months.

    Football back in the day

    I personally think the general skill levels have deteriorated since those days but the development of technology (boots, balls) and significant changes in lifestyle, fitness and medical support (outside of N17 of course) mean a faster game. I watch games now where passing is poor, crossing...

    Another pish poor decision. Can see why a ref may call it in the moment but VAR again fails to use basic common sense or their eyes. No way a ball bounces like that if it hits a hand rather than a head.

    To be fair, with her grammar, it can be read as he is both a child rapist and also a paedophile enabler, rather than a child rapist enabler and a paedophile enabler. First time I skimmed through it I didn't immediately link the enabler bit to both parts of the statement.

    and have some way to hold muppets like Arteta (and Wenger and Ferguson and Moaniho) to account for being so hypocritical over ref decisions.

    @Muttley I don't disagree but do you need the 'live' technology to do this? If refs and the assistant refs became draconian during the game and retrospective punishments were issued via a panel after then you would achieve the same thing without the delays. Rugby first used technology for...

    The time it takes is not worth it. People are much more accepting of one human's error at the speed of the game than 4 humans' errors still at the end of 3 minutes of slow-mo and a dozen camera angles. The subjectivity and innate bias that refs have (too early for a card, he is on a card so...

    It doesn't change the scam though. It is still referee's interpretation. Has the challenge removed possession by touch followed by has the challenge prevented the attacking player from continuing the attack? If the touch is enough to move the ball away from the attacker and the tackle is a...
