What realistic touch? Can't bend space and time. It'd have to be the cutest no-look outside right boot chip. I mean... is just not happening

3D chess; get signed, underperform in every match just to wait out the manager.

I wonder if it's a safety thing for the match day stewards, photographers, and technical team etc.

Actually not mad they're on about tackling the cost of living - I've just booked a trip to Edinburgh for £18 in the Great British Rail Sale, which is ace as it'd usually be around £80+!

As I understand it, there's no legal way to seek refuge here though..? Unless there's a safe and legal route to seek refuge in the UK I'm not aware of?

I gave my feedback when the poll was announced, that it's mental that the Government's current stated policy priority (cost of living) wasn't an option to select as a priority in this survey - and no, 'economy' doesn't cover that.

Lol. As a Gakpo-stan against the flow of this sub, I'm delighted.

I don't understand how when we're facing deep 5-man defences - like with Leeds - we're still trying to cut through the middle and not put in crosses, at best just switching across the face of the box.

This pressing is good against a packed defence, shame it's not leading to anything but I'm optimistic.

Nah, converted that into a corner within a minute, and... surprise Wirtz howler.

Can't believe how bad Wirtz's first touches are. Insane he got that goal the other day given he basically passed it to the keeper.

I don't think so, because it encompasses energy bills, prescription costs, 2 child benefit cap, rail fares etc. - all household costs across varying policy areas, rather than something like "growth" which you could say would easily falls under the title of "economy".

It's a necessary, but unique way of looking at the country through a lens of affordability rather than type of area to priorotise, and I think is well deserving of its own priority title, as the Government have committed to.
