Pretty woful that, limited and unimaginative. The Tories will be happy with 4+ million unemployed. Even the youth employment scheme was nowhere near what is required. Unsurprisingly the biggest help went to homeowners who the Tories know make up many of their core voters. Once we're back to 1980's levels of unemployment the Tories aided by the media will blame this squarely on the undeserving work shy unemployed masses. I can just hear them rolling out that it's time for the unemployed to get on their bikes.....

I know it's comical, not even attempting to be impartial. Clear red.

True, as I recall his plan B, C and D look a lot like plan A? Assuming he'll move for Benteke in the next window? In fairness he's done well at Leicester even allowing for the slide.

No more than hoping Trump contracts it. I assume Trump is the 2nd most protected man in the world at the moment after Putin in his bunker? It's a bigger bunker than Trumps converted basement too.

Watching Leicester implode, they must have been 15 or so points clear of 5th at one point? Brendan really isn't great at averting a slide in form is he? Brings back many memories of his last season with us.

Villa supporters are just nasty from my experience. I lived in Birmingham for a couple of years a long time ago. They had an issue with us back then, this was pre Rafa trying to take Scott Parker off them. Not sure why? They've been affected by their brief success in the early eighties and never got over it. Happy to see them relegated and unless we've really taken the foot off the gas we'll beat them tomorrow.

CL final really was Spurs high point. So having spent £750+ million on a new stadium that went over budget and behind schedule they now find themselves in the position of playing in front of and paying for a hugely expensive cash cow of an empty stadium for the foreseeable future. They've had to secure £175 million of government funding, I wonder why? Add to that they've sacked their most successful manager for a generation because he wanted to refresh a squad in need of renewal and replaced him with the definition of a short-term chequebook manager clearly on a downward spiral.

Any belief set that involves believing in an invisible supernatural friend who has got your back.

Good to see Brady & Moyes taking West Ham to where they deserve to be.

It's what he does apparently.

Early days but the sign of a good manager is one who improves the players he already has and by extension the team. Arsenal are a dumpster fire. Perhaps not the best policy of appointing a manager on the basis of his former boss being a great manager? I think they used to refer to it as appointment by association. 'Oh you worked for xxx, well they're great so you must be great too'.

Difficult to argue with any of it.

He's not taking it well.

There's a real disconnect about it. Someone said to me earlier it's a bit like watching golf on TV. It should be better watching us. It doesn't help that the players clearly aren't match fit yet and are pretty rusty. It only adds to the 'friendly' feel about it.

That and run quickly in a straight line. That's about it.
