    Tonali in "discussions" over 10 month ban

    From the facts quoted on Talk Sport with his betting in August 2023 (when already in trouble in Italy) the bloke has a serious betting addiction i.e. betting a lot whn already in trouble. A full global 12 month ban would give him a break and a chance to develop strategies to stop gambling...

    Feargal Sharkey

    Water privatisation has been a disaster for the UK as a whole Bills have risen above inflation Sewage has increased Water quality has dropped There are less fish in our rivers Leakages don't seem to have improved The profits that went to the UK Government now often go overseas. Any more?

    Share punt if you are interested

    AP - My advice is take a profit on one of them. Certainly set a target to sell at it and don't change your mind say 20% profit to sell 1 of the 2 shares and 100% profit to sell the second one. Human nature is you let them drift high and don't sell. Then there can be an expected crash that the...

    I have just renewed

    I think I am safe in writing the sales of Rogers and Crooks were not planned/budgeting fro January window sales. Which I hope means there is not financial pressure to sell in the Summer, as the planned summer sales (up to £18.5mish potential) have been done. We only sold 2 players for money that...

    Update on upcoming away tickets

    Hull is definitely more RL in ordinary times - I don't know why but it is. With Leeds I always felt they had a lot of support from outside the City as % of their total support with a big catchment area. When I lived in Whitby Leeds was the most supported team by a wide margin and its 75 miles...

    Update on upcoming away tickets

    The 200 are probably new released tickets - maybe something has happened with segregation or tickets MFC kept for corporates and club officials etc. There are 7 blocks of seats which for just 2,270 tickets.

    Paddy McNair - Northern Ireland Captain

    I agree, do you think Johnny Howson took a cut for his new contract. Paddy is younger, but I could only see another non-parachute Championship club taking him - someone like Birmingham City or Blackburn. Brum were paying £16k to £18k per week to players like George Friend. I don't if they are...

    ADHD in adults

    1finny - I thought what your son did was fairly normal so I must have some ADHD too. I know I switch off my phone off or don't bother switching it on, people will get annoyed and probably feel I am not interested in them. its just I want to left alone in peace for a while or I want to think...

    New UK population estimates published

    The recent rises in the last 22 or so years have been some of the largest in our history. I read they were at a similar percentage rate to the great immigration to the USA in the late 19th century. Immigration does boost our GDP by increasing economic activity just through having more working...

    New UK population estimates published

    If it has been lifted it was there for a very long time because of water shortages in the Thames region. The leaks may be sizeable but are a very long term issue and are not going away. They were a problem at the time of privatisation (1990?). Thames Water covers a very big region too not just...

    I have just renewed

    To beat a team over 90 minutes whose wages bill is around 15 times? ours was a bit more than ordinary (Chelsea).

    Climate Change, where are you on this scale?

    Most people can join the Woodland Trust - I asked a friend to buy my membership as a birthday present. The WT planted (I think) 8 trees with the fee. Over 20 years ago I planted some trees and shrubs of my own that have now matured. It maybe not be a lot as far as changing the planet, but if...

    New UK population estimates published

    The UK's population density varies a lot from region to region. I would say the South East of England is densly populated - I believe over 55% of the UK's population lives in that one region. There are already problems with guaranteed water supply all the end round hence the Thames Water...
