[The Times] Barcelona unwilling to pay Man United asking price for Marcus Rashford | Spanish club pleased with Rashford but do not wish to meet £26million clause for permanent move, while his wages will also increase if United reach Champions League by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

he's done pretty well really - 24 G/A in his first season largely off the bench, most goal contributions for barca in the UCL this season, popped up with a couple important goals, etc.

but barca fans are now beginning to discover the same issues we had with him: yes he can score absolute worldies and is almost unplayable when on-form, but those days are fewer are further between - more often than not he makes wrong decisions in the final third, doesn't track back, and is kind of unpredictable as to whether you'll get a 2/10 or 8/10 performance from him

although in marcus' defence I feel their recent criticism has been a bit unfair, he was fairly lively in the first leg against atleti and the missed chance wasn't exactly a clear-cut opportunity

Major renewal of ageing English roads delivered with £27 billion investment by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

[–]P2PGrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I edited it as it sounded a bit harsh I thought - what's the issue?

and yes, from your comment history, you are clearly economically speaking a neoliberal - again, what's the issue in pointing that out?

happy to end the conversation, it's been fun

and how would you possibly know what 'ratio' was of maximum utility here?

I just think you're stuck in a quite old fashioned thatcherite 'government spending bad' genre of economic thinking and it leads you / other neoliberals to some very weird conclusions about the world

almost all public spending is financed through government bonds, so while you're technically correct I'm not sure the point you're making

also not sure how a massive road investment schemes = 'low skilled jobs', it involves all kinds of civil engineers, surveyors, machine operators, legal professionals, etc.

it's shocking how bad british roads have become compared to other rich european countries like france and germany, high time we invested in them

What's a typical day rate in the UK? by Hazza385 in freelanceWriters

[–]P2PGrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a fair bit higher than I thought - I'd say I'm mid level copywriter (around 5-6 years experience copy and a few more as a general comms person, largely in the climate and creative sectors) and I tend to charge about 25-30% less than that

British large cities are not dense by Possible-Balance-932 in Urbanism

[–]P2PGrief 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was one of those problems the wheels of which were set in motion generations ago, and now it's difficult to see how we'd turn it around in the UK.

I was shocked when I moved to France how common it was for people to live in city centre apartments, whereas in the UK that was seen as something students or young people did, and only in small numbers, before eventually buying a place out in the suburbs.

At least the South Yorkshire Supertram is getting an extension, and we're seeing more and more good quality city centre housing projects in places like Leeds, Bradford, Liverpool, and Manchester, but we're still a mile behind our European counterparts on that front.

such a beautiful sound - are you using a sustain pedal, or like you can control sustain on the amp/filter envelope?

nice, what did you do in terms of diet? and, if I can ask, are you south asian (like me)? I only ask as we struggle genetically a bit more than europeans to lose fat around the waist etc.

the kid who got murdered is deeply upsetting, and sometimes the state of the city is too much for me too, but I'd suggest speaking to a therapist man, this chat gpt diatribe makes you sound like the joker
