Just feel like the midfield in particular looked so gassed that you could make an argument for subbing them all out as well as the need for the striker to start.

Whilst I take the point of the desire for allies the critical analysis of *why* these people want Israel to exist always seems lacking.
(It’s because they see it as a dumping ground for Jews)

I think you’re making the same mistake the Treasury has been making for the last few years.
This is about financial resilience, it shouldn’t be about capital flows into the FTSE. The UK has 430bn in cash savings in the UK - that’s just way too much.

Yeah, they should have desolved the team, the entire Hundred, and just put these resources into making the T20 Blast good and available on tv.

They’re briefing ISA providers on Monday so we’ll all find out!

Nope. Would assume it’s a ‘cash like’ investment according to HMRC per new guidance.
Of course the real answer is: you have a personal savings allowance and already fewer than 2 million people a year use anything close to their full IsA allowance.

Will defer to your judgement. But was literally (and pathetically) on transfermarkt this morning and it came up as 0

Guess, who remarked to himself this morning: 'it's mad that he hasn't missed a single game through injury in his Arsenal career'

I think we both agree here.
I'm taking issue with the argument that somehow over 65s have got the better end of the deal.

But..........that's why they're allowing over 65s to keep contributing (and lets remember that fewer than 2m people a year do) 20,000 a year in cash

It's a negative bias though?
Also avoids issues like double taxation for pensioners on DB pensions.

Me neither. But the new format just leaves me so cold. We’re playing BAYERN MUNICH tonight and I’m so disinterested I sold my ticket to go to a drinks reception.
Why? Because all I’d miss is 90 minutes of contextless football

The matches at least meant something. These are exhibition games.
Barcelona have won 2 games in 5 and they’re still going to qualify spinning on their cocks. There’s zero jeopardy

Absolutely not. Even a loss for either team keeps them in that top 4 slot. One team has a more important game on Sunday.
It's exactly the sort of low stakes bullshit game this terrible format thrives off.

I'm not saying we should lose either. But I think I'm saying, if you think you can play for a draw at 90% exertion, play for a draw.

If we lose we drop down to 4th. Which is fine.
I don’t want us to lose but I’d like us to be 7 points clear on Sunday night…

They literally give you pyjamas on some first class flights. The idea that it’s not acceptable is bizarre.
The bigger issue is of course what are you doing over the age of 5 years old wearing pyjamas?
