Postecoglou did that no other Head Coach could do for 17 years
Injuries and Cup priority hit league form
Can the board instruct the fans on their core values and strategy?
Momentum completely vaporised
Thanks for the memories mate (goodbye Ange Postecoglou)

My spotlight is on those three... interesting stats.... they can be construed in so many different ways but nonetheless

Isn't this misleading? I've used the scheme earlier this year and they came round within days to make the installations. Home owners have to be proactive and take own responsibilities

The sooner the Devolution process operates across England, the greater parity and accountability with all Mayors receiving a similar central government budget
My only fear is that not all Mayors are vetted for a fit for purpose for huge responsibilities

In the meantime, our water prices are locked into regional suppliers who have free rein on market rates, no accountability, and huge dividends. Greatest scandal of neoliberalism. Just renationalise at the nearest possible time

Despite Garage's so-called U turn on FPTP and PR voting
The PR actually represents real change along with abolishing HoL and to proceed with Mayor Devolution process

Out of interest, which platform lured you into the franchise 100? Quite a few core cricket fans have a distaste to the 100 due to the County disconnection and pathway. So it will be interesting to learn your intro to the game 👍

It's such a worry that biased reporting is the norm. No critique whatsoever and shaping gullible readers' views is nothing short of propaganda

There's hope ahead of us
Key messages are political choices, marginal pricing, solar panels, batteries, EV, and alike

Newly build homes, hospitals, government buildings, social housing, factories, car parks, schools, rail tracks, petrol stations, service stations....
All of the above with batteries are a no brainer!
Hydro power is now quite common in China
There's hope just yet!

I met Dermot in 2015 when he was a guest speaker during a testimonial match
Although there was a air of apprehension, he took centre stage, giving brilliant cricket anedecotes & harness all his nervous energy much to everyone's delight. It was gold!
Wishing Dermot a journey to redemption

An interesting article on this link. UK Public Spending on health, pensions, and immigration was notable

Offshore accounts are still notoriously difficult to access. National assets? I had no idea about the seabed, NHS properties, land, no. of castles etc are all owned by the Monarchy. The people rarely, if very little, profit from the Monarchy's assets
It's a factual argument yet to be founded

Australian election key messages to UK, what were they?
Anti-Trumpism
Core values + identity
Working communities
Devolution + Mayors
Human rights
Modern globalisation
Post colonialism harsh realities
Far right fascism neglects this, a fascinating Guardian article discusses UK challenges

Better still, scrap all formats and return to old European Cup, Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Cup. Level playing field, transparency and more jeopardy

China's loss is India's gain
The Chinese, therefore, will call in their bonds from the USA.
In the region of US$759bn
The American voters are responsible for this. Own it.

The media reported their own marratives and lambasted on the difficult decisions taken after 14 years of chaos
Having said that, it's a fantastic opportunity for the voters to be heard
The big changes are when the Devolution process are fully rolled out and further renationalised services

I think someone need to inform the UK scientists to stop dimming the sun for their research(!)
On a serious note, is this a sign of what's to come? Smart technology and climate change? Or is it a cyber attack?

$$$ before long-term interest. Especially when governance is short-term and there is no difference to Western democracy of 4 year cycles instead of long-term strategies

I agree with your sentiments that some services would need to be paid upfront. A Direct Payment debit card are often used to pay for services upfront
Either way, PIP / DLA cash are not enough to pay for expensive daily living

What's more, AtW (DWP) provides a healthier budget than DLA / PIP low cash income
comment in response to
post
Thanks for your feedback. As I've used Access to Work for over 20 years, it's an accepted norm of practice to pay invoices within 28 days. Albeit the occasional delay, in general and all, the DWP have paid receipts and invoices in good time. It wasn't always like this but had improved vastly .....

Hi Tracey, I'm sorry if I've disappointed you. I just feel that the system is not fit for purpose for disabled people and there are innovative ways of supporting people's needs rather than lowly 4 weekly cash in a vicious cycle
comment in response to
post
Yes, i like the idea of an UBI. German trials have proved its working well there in the short term
Access to Work - it's also a good model as you have a pre-agreed budget to spend on specific needs
Direct Payment card is another similar model
PIP and DLA cash often doesn't need the full needs
comment in response to
post
Access to Work model is perfect once set up
E.g, Deaf people, use the AtW budget to pay for invoices of communication support
Each booking can cost hundreds of pounds
Instead of using cash, the AtW budget was claimed to pay the invoices
It's far more transparent for disabled people too

Current benefits need to be scrapped as it is not fit for purpose
Social care
Access to Work
Equality Act
PIP/DLA/AA
The UK needs a more universal & transparent system. AtW offers a sustainable model. Instead of cash, claim back expenses via invoices
Therefore, it's pound for pound value

Another reason why the 50 + 1 rule in Bundesliga is so important for the long-term interests of clubs and fans
Bundesliga matches are full and have electric atmosphere matches for majority of the time
Tourist fans and the rich owners are gradually changing the landscape of the EPL

All eyes were always on Thursday nights. Players are reluctant to risk any injuries for what is literally all or nothing
Lose on Thursday, then its full throttle again in the league with nothing to play for except pride and contracts

Great performance and game. At least that Spurs will be on the front foot at return leg. No doubt, the squad will be rotated on Sunday as all eggs go into the Europa League basket

37% of the popular votes must be feeling proud of themselves(!)
Having said that, the opposition must take some of the blame too for not holding the Government and President to account

Yep. They had a fair crack of the whip but the EPL doesn't carry passengers. Just athletes

A foreigner meddling with a democracy? Yet, nobody is probing into this. A travesty indeed it is and especially if it was a Russian, Chinese, or Iranian

The billionaires are enabling UK's first economic tier to rocket miles ahead of UK's second economic tier to create a false economic landscape in the UK
It's time to bridge this gap to charge the billionaires for exploiting our 2nd economic tier
