Jesus. There should be a bonus surcharge for this level of bad taste.

(This can accompany my other policy idea of a pebbledash tax).

When you read down the article it turns out they also own a second house in Richmond. And are now also hit by new taxes on landlords. Absolutely gutted for them.

Ah, I can confirm I am not 150.

Not sure if related, will look into it

I'm at the point of wondering whether it might actually make Labour *more* popular if they broke the manifesto and said 'we accept we have done this, here's why' rather than the 'technically, if you squint, it's not a breach' stuff.

And a lot of the people who would love to destroy the BBC are also the ones complaining about lack of 'cultural cohesion'

Wish we could drop Trippier too. Had a terrible second half today.

We were one step away from being Greece, I recall

Ah but they bought guys who over perform their xG....

Absolutely wild that final goal isn't overturned either.

We have 4 full backs, 3 of them are RBs and one of them Howe doesn't trust to play in pretty much any circumstances.

We need one more in Jan.
October 25, 2025 at 4:31 PM
If we are going to do anything in Jan feels like a full back is needed.

If Krafth can't get minutes in these circumstances then maybe time to trade his place in the squad for someone new.

I think Gordon can get more shots but requires rejigging the attack a bit.

Need more shots from midfield too. Ramsey could be part of the solution there when he plays.

To be fair I think a lot of this is about adjustment to his unique and fun style. And also some poor production from the wingers.

But yes, if we had known we were getting Woltemade earlier in the window then you would really buy a RW who shoots a lot more than Elanga does.
