Love that BDB is now a national icon having played about 25mins of world cup football. Honestly couldn't be more chuffed for him. Ballon d'wor
This bit of the recent Munich speech feels like it should be significantly more prominent in the govt messaging...
Spurs fans: we just need a midfielder who can pass. Spurs recruitment team: could I interest you in a midfielder who... Can't pass?
Chelsea bought 4 attackers in the summer for a combined £200m+ But the Athletic says they 'did not spend on a forward' because they didn't also buy Xavi Simons... Make it make sense?
Great minds! (Also mainly based on some content from Scouted and two U21s Euros games....)
Also even if you set aside the mad right wing stuff.... This is an absolutely terrible way to do journalism? Think GB News has totally normalised the idea that you can essentially be interviewed by your fan club.
Everton right to walk away from this deal if these are the terms. In a very good scenario, Dibling might become an £80m player in a few years. In this scenario Everton would only see £10m of that because of the sell-on clause. Why would anyone take a £50m risk on a prospect with so little return?
Glad someone is running this campaign! Fun example of his awfulness in this tweet he has now deleted
A £250k one-off payment in order to dodge potentially tens of millions in tax??? The 'bonuses' would be worth approximately 7p per worker. It's a good deal for someone, and it isn't the workers...
Last time I checked you needed to be in power before you could 'ditch' legal targets. Or does 'poised' mean '3rd in the polls and 4 years away from an election'?
Hard to pick a favourite quote from this full-scale bonkers speech... .. but the 'in fact' in this one is absolutely hysterical
Is it still front page news when gilt prices are dropping fast? Asking for a friend.
I mean, where do you start with this? Maybe we could sell them Isak for £100m and then resign him on a free at the end of the window when they aren't allowed to register him? #nufc
It's actually a quote from him. He also says he hates playing with an overlapping fullback behind him. It would be a big adjustment from PSV, I am not sure Eddie would trust him right away. In which case we might as well wait until the summer when there are potentially better options.
UK 10yr yields falling back to where they were pre-Budget. Given that the rise was such a huge issue, I must have missed all the breathless coverage of what the fall means...
