I see you expect a handout from us taxpayers just because you're running an ineffective small lifestyle business at the bottom of a modern global food supply chain.

The question for me is how do i put it under pressure to change? Write a letter? Call MP? Or use the cash to pay for higher quality journalism elsewhere. I've recently started doing a bit of the latter elsewhere but this would mean I can do more.

So after all these years I'm asking myself is it worth paying to keep the BBC... or is it beyond repair? I could spend the license fee on other journalism if I don't pay it. 🤔

Superb. If he's on the right shift my old man is somewhere in there.

We'll agree to disagree. My take is most of the team around our 3 midfielders has struggled just as badly as trips.

Think that would've been a closer battle except they've had a lot of help from McGinn, Watkins, Mings, Konsa etc. All round team performance helping out the Villa 3. Great from Villa to be fair. #avfc

Yes, but Schar is definitely out of position making that decision harder for Burn.

He does make some mistakes here but we still have the numbers to delay the attack. Too many players out of position even if only by a few yards.
I think our shape v theirs is making this harder for us than it needs to be.

Thanks for this. Is that 2 lines? If it is, I think this is before May '77 when Bessacarr box closed and this became a single line. And I can almost see our old house in the background! Watching these roll by as a kid is why I care about the railway. Give Bess jct a wave from me next time you pass!
