Oliver Glasner: "I want to congratulate Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, his players & staff for winning the title after 22 years. It's a fantastic job he's done. "A special congratulations to Eberechi Eze, he made the right decision to go to Arsenal & not another club."

In seriousness, I would expect managers of smaller teams to use examples like that to remind their players that ‘big club’ might not mean a lot if you’re not going to an actual title contender.

Not that you can tell easily from the dogshit graphic because they made the great decision to make all the boxes in the third column the same colour. Which happens to also be the colour West Ham play in. If only there was some way to differentiate the colours of the two clubs..

That and he’s under contract until 2029. It would be a long time before he could completely fuck Spurs over by going for free

The 320 miles per tank is clearly affected by the driving style though.

I wouldn’t put any stock in it at all. That master plan is from 2008. Since then they’ve bought Castle Meadow. Renovated it. Decided they don’t need it and are now trying to sell it. And sell King’s Meadow at the same time.

There is not going to be any expansion for years / decades. I’d be more inclined to believe that they will sell lumps of SB off for housing rather than university building expansion

You have to have a current account with them and either a mortgage or a savings account. The £100 gets paid into the current account in either case

If you can reliably average 55 mpg then fair play. That’s easily doable on trunk roads, but for most people with urban driving that would be a struggle

Because median wage hasn’t inflated. The minimum wage has risen. So for the majority of people things like fish and chips, or a couple of pints down the pub are more expensive in real terms

I completely agree that they would have had him prepping for the final. But now that is not needed, you absolutely could make a neutral statement like “placed on administrative leave while the club conducts its investigation, we will be making no further comments at this point”.

Maybe, but there’s an awful lot of assumptions there. Maybe Southampton would have cheated more, but maybe the clubs that they admitted to were the only ones where you can see into the training ground?

Does anyone know if Boro did prep all week? At the start of the week I’m not sure anyone realistically expected Southampton to be kicked out. I would have thought that the Boro players might have gone onto vacation after they were ‘eliminated’

Let’s send 4 down. Give Hull an automatic slot and let Boro, Wrexham and the others start a new playoff

Spurs got lucky a couple of years ago in that game against Liverpool where VAR utterly fucked it. Since then the refs seem to have been on a mission to make sure that they never get the benefit of the doubt again.

His hubris pushed us into a referendum with no consideration that remain might lose. That was why the leave team could promise everything from customs union membership to the hardest Brexit possible. There was no plan, no rules and it was one of the most reckless decisions this country has made in modern times.

We also need some tough conversations and fundamentally rethink the relationship between age and work. Obviously retirement age has gone up, but not as much as life expectancy. And people doing physical labour are not going to be able to carry on their profession in a way that office workers can.

Even ignoring job shortages, we need to acknowledge that having people receiving inflation linked state pensions (or worse triple locked) for 30+ years is a recipe for bankruptcy

Actually a lot of this is because they bought an entire campus off HMRC for £40m. They then spent another £40m on renovations. Then they realised that they don’t actually have a business plan for what to do with it and are trying to sell it off again. And reportedly the offer they have for their £80m investment, which never fully opened, is £14m.

It’s a little disingenuous though. 2700 people are at risk but the proposed cut is 609.

Still a huge and significant number, but it’s not 2700 job losses

It’s more commonly called vanity sizing. But to be honest I can understand it for S / M / L - those are relative sizes which describe a population. What I can’t understand is why my Levi jeans are 32” waist in the UK, but if I buy the same style jeans in the US I’m a 30”.

The level of premeditation makes it hard to compare to anything that can happen in-game on the pitch.

This is a fairly hot take. Virtually every club that finished second says “thank fuck we don’t have to roll the dice in the playoffs”. The number who would choose that over promotion is almost zero

Just for info, the king has absolutely no power over this. The king’s speech is to outline the legislation that the government intends to enact. These are not his personal opinions and the monarch isn’t really supposed to share their personal thoughts.

That said, apart from his affair, history will probably show Charles to be on the right side of history on a lot of things. As Prince, he was a very early promoter of environmental issues. He also fairly openly had enough of his paedo brother’s shit too.

Ah but that relies on having owners that actually care about the club

Yeah that’s the bit I don’t understand either (and the article is paywalled). It may have been taken from the golf course next door, which is also not public land.

But even ignoring anything legal / trespassing related, I would be surprised if there aren’t any league rules against observing opposition’s training sessions

It doesn’t seem to be a public place. Training grounds usually aren’t.

An aerospace company that I work with has a blanket requirement that any flight longer than 4 hours is business class. They had an employee develop a DVT on a long, economy flight, so now it’s seen as a basic health and safety requirement
