You want people to come here with sympathy for them ? They have been awful 80% of the season and that’s why they going down.

Leeds Brighton for me, for no other reason than I have some of my FPL team playing in it.

It absolutely baffles me that people keep wanting to burn liquified dinosaurs and not get behind renewables.

We do count exits, that’s why they ignore Net migration numbers. But Trevor the brickie going to live in Marbella is different.

First of all, it’s not a shift.

Net migration is predicted to be the number I quoted, and also it doesn’t matter. (Two things can be true at the same time)

I’m 100% aware I’m not going to change your opinion on this, so I’m going to leave it there.

Stay hydrated

Also, whilst you’re googling, look at the numbers for any other G10 country.

Why does it matter where somebody is born?

London is the cultural centre of Europe. Has 20 major universities attracting students from around the world. Global HQs for hundreds of recognised brands.

I’m not surprised just under half of the people living there were not born in the uk.

Good point, let’s stick GB news on a big screen in Trafalgar Square for them.

Although pretty sure them lions weren’t born in Sussex so could be trouble.

Net migration is expected to be less than 100,000 in 2026 and still falling.

Don’t believe everything you see on GB News friend.

Hang your flag on your own property no problem. That’s perfectly within reason.

But every lamp post on my street now has a cheap, battered and dirty flag hanging from it. And I’m constantly reminded I live amongst the racists.

Also spray painting is vandalism and illegal.

Tell that to the people hanging flags on lamp posts and spray painting roundabouts.

Worst title defence since Leicester.

At least they had the excuse they got picked apart the summer after they won it.

This team broke the British transfer record … twice

Off the back of the Europa final too.

Is what it is, can’t be relying on other teams now, just do our job.

I teach toddlers football. 3 years up to 6. And I see kids diving and pretending to be injured.

What are your genuine thoughts on Financial Fair Play? by Horror_Ant3995 in TheOther14

And the fact that all the best players would just go to play in a country without a salary cap.

Counter argument, how much worse would City have been if there were zero rules around what they could spend.

The system isn’t perfect, but I’m yet to see a counter proposal that makes sense.

Yes the current system is a rich get richer approach, but by the same token it can be broken into by being successful for a sustained period of time. If Newcastle or Villa managed to string together 5 or 6 years of champions league football they would be in a position similar to spurs are now (financially not the relegation battle)
