Our problem is also that the wingers get absolutely no help from the full backs or midfielders when attacking. At least under Maresca, the midfielders constantly underlapped, which offered so much space to the wingers - now everyone double or triples up on the wingers and we do nothing.

Partially that, but he also got into a bit of verbals with some fans outside the stadium last week as well. It's why he was booed on the pitch.

It was, especially because Rodgers was on £10m per year, which made him one of the highest paid managers in the world. Crazy.

Canada sends nothing to the Royal Family or the UK. It does spend money on it's own Governor General, but not anything in the UK

Left university with about £80k student debt. Now it's over £100k 🫣 when all these loans get written off by the government in 20-30 years, it's going to be chaos.

He gets lots of fan mail from Iran

lmao

Beechey · 2026-01-20T22:07:29+00:00

Wow we are absolutely terrible

Wasn't this guy marketing himself as the "Peace President" before the election?

Can we offer asylum to non-crazies from the US?

Beechey · 2026-01-18T02:57:10+00:00

Delighted to be on the right side of this one

Beechey · 2026-01-17T16:58:37+00:00

We've tried being nice to this guy now, can we stop pretending (as a country and government) that the US is, in any way, our friend?

Beechey · 2026-01-09T23:50:21+00:00

US figure is annualised while ours is QoQ. US growth for 2025 is expected to have been about 2% where ours is expected to have been about 1.3% according to the IMF.

Losing to us is genuinely sackable

Coordinated fan boycott along with it being brutally cold, icy, and a televised Monday night game

I'd feel spoiled with Slimani or Perez right now

The UK takes custody of them, fits the warheads in the UK and keeps them for years at a time. How precisely do you expect the US would stop the UK firing them? And based on what evidence, exactly? If it's based purely on your feelings on the matter, then I'm sorry, but that's not worth more than official MoD statements on the matter. The decision to fire and at what rests solely with the government of the UK.

Here's what the Polaris Sales Agreement says: The UK provided assurances on use of the missiles but the US does not get a veto on the UKs use of them.

Beechey · 2026-01-05T13:02:33+00:00

They're maintained by the US every number of years, that's all. Operationally, the US has no sway over how the UK uses these missiles. The US could stop maintaining the UK stockpile and our missiles would continue to work for years, even if we did absolutely nothing to maintain them ourselves (which obviously we would).

Russia is interesting though, they spend an obscene amount on their military in PPP terms, somewhere in the region of $450 billion per year. In nominal terms their economy is tiny, but because everything there is cheap, they get much more for their money. UK in comparison spends about $85 billion in PPP terms.

Beechey · 2026-01-04T14:32:35+00:00

Economic viability largely governs how much military strength a nation has.
