Well done Ian. I'm very pleased for you and wish you the best of luck.

Hi Ian and Sam, How likely do you think it is that a "big team" will be relegated in the next 2 seasons ?(i.e Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs etc) Will the weight of their own arrogance bring them down ?
2) How likely is a genuine and workable solution the the housing crisis ?

Ignoring it.

It's a greed fest. It's better at the knockout stage but it's still the same teams over and over again. The European Cup had a considerable element of jeopardy. The "Superleague" teams have made loads of cash but essentially killed the competition. I'm afraid I can't help with your lack of cake.

I'm out of date but the price of coffee per tonne has relatively little impact on the price of a cup of coffee. The majority of the sellers costs are rent,utilitles etc. 30 yrs ago a kg of coffee wholesale was GBP 7.50. Allowing for waste that yielded 115 cups of coffee at £2.50 each i.e.£287.50

Reeves backing down to the non-Doms looks very bad indeed. I've a nasty feeling it might get a lot worse.

I can see a scenario where this is used to employ punitive sanctions for minor transgressions. This won't affect the super rich as they could be anywhere. On the positive side our track record with any kind of big infrastructure project is so piss poor that there's a good chance it won't work.

Technology, or to be more precise, the way it functions, is one of the biggest problems in public services. They like the idea of AI because they think that in the long run it's cheaper than employing people. Can he be misguided enough to think that this is actually going to benefit the population ?

Here's a question for the a future edition...
Do you feel that a European, or Global super league is highly likely in the long run ? What, if anything, could fans do to stop this in it's tracks? Is there a case for an organised boycott of sponsors etc of clubs who promote this bullshit ?

1) The decline of Wolves which led them from Div 1 to Div 4 in the 80's.
2) Have clubs who sold their historic stadiums and moved into purpose built stadiums benefited ( Chester, Scunthorpe, Colchester etc ) ?
3) Spurs relegation in 1976/77.
4) Why was Le Tissier not an England regular ?

If Ipswich can consistently pick up some points I think WHUFC will be relegated. Who on earth is advising Potter ? He takes the poison chalice of the Chelsea job and now he's taken over at West Ham. Strip Moyes out of the equation and WHU's record in the transfer market is beyond awful.

Prior to Potter, the last former Chelsea manager employed by West Ham was Avram Grant. Potter was a good fit at Brighton who are a very well run club. However,subsequent appointments at Brighton have put his record into perspective. I'd be surprised if he lasts 12 months.
