January onwards looks as kind as you could reasonably hope for mind

I’ve just invested too much time explaining to the people I sit around how much I especially hate his haircut and teeth that I honestly don’t think I could set foot in the Emirates again

That'd be great.

Absolutely of the view that he’s really under appreciated. But also just wish he was the killer he was 2 years ago and that’s where the sense of frustration comes from.
Arsenal fans don’t want an upgrade. They just want the same player they had.

Great idea to bait an unstable narcissist who doesn’t understand even the most basic functions of how the global economy works IMO.
This will lead to no unintended consequences

Man, if only there was some way to identify what specific event happened between 30 December 2020 and 1 January 2021 which might have led to some kind of immediate drop off...

Got to feel bad for poor Rayan but you’ve really got to question Mainz’s………..Cruel Intentions

If you assume that the best striker Arsenal could start that isn’t Isak is Kai Havertz - and I fundamentally do - Sesko, and what he could become, makes the most sense.

It's not, but there's very little about that football club which is geared towards what actually happens on the pitch (yes, I know what happened last night).
comment in response to

Maybe, but it just feels like at least for the next 3 years there'll be either a club that has just come up or a club that wants to rise to mid table who'd be willing to take the risk.
Failing that, you've got West Ham to sell him to for at least the next 6 years.

I sort of get it in the context of him being an undervalued asset who, even if he does nothing, they can move on for essentially the same price or even more.

Mad that the manager of Man Utd hates Man Utd players more than most kids who grew up in Southern England in the 90s did

Presumably you’ve fallen in love with, torn your hair out and then weeped because it’s over playing Celeste?

£1500 for the plesaure of watching 23 home games next season.
I'm lucky that I can (for now) not think twice about it but it seems like a lot of money for a lot of people and its going to put them in the position of having to make choices about going.

Which is exactly why it just seems very apparent to me that Sesko is THE GUY. He'll get more than enough minutes to develop - will start loads of games - and then maybe in 18 months you do end up with a genuine 25 goal a season striker.
There's just something extremely Afonso Alves about Gyokeres

POUNDS.
It gives off big Everton having just been taken over by MOshiri vibes as a transfer.
He's..............fine.

Onana, Fernandes, Amad, Mount (Mason Mount!), Mazroui, Maguire are all better than their equivalents in that Spurs starting line up.

Think it’s basically fine if you assume - as you should - that Gabriel Jesus will be packed off to Brazil for 5m in January.
Don’t think it precludes buying another winger (but it’s not going to be the guy everyone wants)

Morgan McSweeney’s briefing about who really leads the Labour Party which obvs resulted in ‘Get In’ is basically the most perfect encapsulation of the me sowing me reaping meme.
And it’s great IMO,

Man Utd have better players than Spurs despite the bad recruitment. He’s been a disastrous appointment.

Not for me. The best outcome. They’ll do nothing with this

Sorry, when people talk to me about reducing triple lock they generally then talk about means testing.
Agreed, removing the 2.5% (and maybe even wage growth) would be.................fine.

You can't scrap it largely because the alternative is simply too complicated and there are (a number which will increase for GenXers) a number of cohorts which will be largely reliant on it.

I also just cannot conceive of a world where they get any credit for this having banked all of the political pain. I know it comes up a lot but of all the strange things they've done so far this one at least makes some sense.

On the day it's revealed that literally loads of pensioners are higher rate tax payers. Perfect. No notes.

Cannot wait for the consultation where we all sadly reach for our quills and point out to them that you can literally put 20k a year into a stocks and shares ISA and have it sitting entirely in cash.

I thought it was really striking that he explicitly said 'we will invest' in his programme notes

No fucking way!
comment in response to

Agreed - it's a second stage intervention for people already minded to invest.
I do think it's mad the HMT looks at the existing suite of tax incentives that it has - some of which have been around for more than 30 years - and hasn't even questioned whether or not they're still fit for purpose.

I mean.........this is literally what they want Targeted Support to address (even if I fundamentally believe that it won't).
Just don't think it's govts job to design financial products but if you wanted to be radical just abolish all cash ISAs and raise the personal savings allowance

Sure, but that growth doesn't take account of any of the measures said Budget imposed to slaughter business sentiment

Sure this will get touched on but have you found the external discourse around arsenal this week to be majorly over the top and totally divorced from reality? We all know the reasons why but the glee surrounding our exit from a champions league semi final has just felt more than odd #arsecastextra

Not as much as the guys who end up working for him when he’s in prison will I bet

Are you advocating all title deciders should be between one team that’s pissed and one that’s shattered? Because that already sounds better than the Enhanced Games.

This is great. The extent to which I have nothing but bad feelings about the Hundred absolutely strengthened by that nugget about Pakistani players - had no idea

She's going get really good hours in with, you'd expect, at least 3 Royal Weddings and Royal Funerals.

Very good chance that by the time she eventually dies she would have spent more time attending events looking sombre (and ridiculous for being there) than she spent actually being Prime Minister
