If we sack Farke, do we invite back for the promotion push next season?

I'm not normally one to moan, but...
... afraid that was not only fucking dreadful it was entirely predictable. Why no changes at 60 mins? Because it wasn't the 70th minute.
Piles the pressure on for the Villa game, when Farke will be sacked if we don't win. Self-inflicted.

Makes sense to me. I'd welcome a 2% basic rate income tax rise matched by a 2% reduction in NIC.
No tax rise for "working people", OAPs only receiving state pension not affected; does mean that those receiving investment income contribute towards NHS, etc. because, frankly, why shouldn't they?

Thanks Emma.
So DM:
* are immigrants supposed to 'integrate', or not?
* are immigrants supposed to learn English, or not?
I hate the RW media. Many people lead busy lives, don't have time or energy to delve deeper & are 'informed' / radicalised by misleading headlines on papers / TV.
Depressing.

Weren't their wins mostly 90+ minute goals too? Maybe papered over some issues 🤔
Either way, it's fun to enjoy their fans' meltdown 😅

Talking is easy, but hasn't been. This at least is further baby steps.

I remember my first car registration numbers: TJB164M the Escort Mk1, JGV96V Mini Special, WDX740X Escort Mk3 from between 1982-1986 but not many since.
There's a part of my brain's memory space that will never be free for actually useful stuff.

Am personally less than pleased with #3 & the universal rhetoric behind it, but the Gov't is quietly achieving a huge amount.
Sadly, it is doing so quietly.
Whilst being drowned out by the media's relentless promotion of Farage.
Don't know how Labour changes that.
But it must find a way, & soon.
