Your argument was that people who work harder/have a harder job earn more. I think there’s enough examples here to demonstrate that isn’t the case I've done some downright hard, sh1tty and stressful jobs in my time, trust me. I don't think a single one paid me more than the equivalent of 30k in tod...

TBH it is a worldwide issue the war the B word and covid pay back, however we do appear to be performing worse then a lot in the West and that is due to our low quality successive governments of all persuasions and their inability or desire to tackle the key issue of low productivity.

Most sensible post on here pal. It will soon be even more pages of shyte if Mods don’t see sense and lock it. No shortage of "shyte" anywhere on the board.

They do spend every penny but not necessarily on items which are taxable unless we start to legalise drugs.

Do you honestly not understand what an obnoxious, bigoted thing that is to say?

I really do hope that you're just on a bit of a wind-up, because if not I feel sorry for you.

Not sure there’s much to complain about or that anyone can say Sunak hasn’t built a track record of doing the right thing given this, furlough, energy support, etc Sunak has a level of pragmatism that's simply evaded the dim-witted bulk of his party.

Frankly no.

This football is even better than under Coyle, dare I say it's the best football we've ever played since I've been watchined (circa 1996).

This is our best football since 74/5 season. Granted its 2nd tier but I know good football when I see it.

He was a star here, and will find it difficult to replicate that anywhere else.

I get the impression, from amazon's speedy response, that there are a significant number of folks telling them to stick it.

Interesting development.

Mrs Fb has just been in contact with customer services at amazon and complained that we had been sold an alexa 3 months ago under false pretences.

They've just agreed to a full refund

Serious question ...I am a cabbage....how do you listen to Spotify? Just from phone to a Bluetooth speaker system in house... Or If I'm out and about, then put it through vehicles system via phone again. If out trudging the moors pretending to be Heathcliff then via a couple of Bluetooth earbuds. W...

Gone downhill rapidly.. I've used mine for a few months but now they seem to have altered the setup...when I try to get it go play stuff by a specific artist it simply reverts to serving up dross of its own selection. No longer worth bothering with imo...back to Spotify now. Anyone finding similiar?

Did you ever see any of them live at Turf Moor or just on tv screen?

Seen every game at Turf Moor bar 2 this season...(plus Wigan and Sunderland).. an 800 mile round trip for each one. I think you'd be better finding someone else if you're looking for a "" proper fan"" argument.

I'm most certainly in the minority but I quite like the ball going into the box. We don't play like that I know but I wouldn't mind a few more crosses into the box at times for Jay to get on the end of. Possession is great but we do struggle with the cutting pass, most likely as the forwards rarely...

Great game on the way. Plenty of goals and hard to predict who'll get them. Our centre- mid and wings have a clear edge... Blackburns back 5 looks stronger than ours..keeper in particular.

I've seen Sheffield twice this season. You can take it from me they're a physical side who will intimidate us and kick our quicker lads up in the air for as long as they can get away with it.
