I’ve been one of his biggest supporters but talk of him being an England international within 12 months is a bit much I think, simply due to the competition for places in the positions he plays.

It’s bad enough having to lose players for the African nations cup. Imagine trying to play through a World Cup or Euros? Then there’s the issue of getting promoted to or relegated from the Premier league and having to either wait months for the following season to start or even worse, have it...

He had the potential to be world class but too many on and off the field issues stopped it happening. At a better club with better coaching and guidance he may well have got there. He probably should have moved on to a top European club when his last contract was being negotiated.

That’s the main issue with Uber. Their price surges can be huge when driver availability is low. It should improve as more drivers are employed but you have the choice of using other firms when it happens which is why added competition is good.

I’ve seen posts from other drivers saying it’s not just Uber and not Boro drivers doing this. Apparently kids have been doing this to any taxis in certain areas including Boro.

Wasn’t it Cardiff or the agent acting for them who organised the flight? How are Nantes being implicated?

Isn’t the TAD centre owned by the bloke who has just purchased the M&S store in town? No doubt taking advantage of the freeport benefits. I wonder if anything else has been offered in exchange for the prominent free advertising.

I didn’t say that is what happened. I said it seems that way. Read the article I linked earlier. It’s at least a possibility.

It seems like Andy Preston decided what businesses he wanted in Captain Cook square and then at least part funded whoever among his contacts fancied having a go.

It’s very much a Preston project according to this article. Link

The interview with Gary Neville was done after intensive therapy got him to the point where he was ready to go public with his struggles after years of issues and sleeping pill addictions. It seemed very much like a huge weight had been lifted and he was determined to get back to work. Obviously...

Isn’t it one of the reasons Morsy was sold?

It won’t make a huge difference but it is a PR boost and makes us slightly more attractive to outside investment. We’re a city by any other country’s standards anyway.

The interview he did with Gary Neville a while back was absolutely heartbreaking. He didn’t go into too much detail but what he did say made it sound like he had the most chaotic and neglected childhood possible. It’s amazing he was able to get to the level he did before it all came crashing...

Not to take away from the great season he’s having but 9 of those 20 goals are penalties. Foden has scored four more than Palmer from open play.

ICE cars are already taxed on mileage through fuel tax. EV’s will have to do the same either based on annual service / MOT reports or automated weekly or monthly updates. They could even do away with VAT on the purchase price and make it up with milage taxes to push sales if they wanted. The...

Ipswich are not a good defensive team. Try comparing him to Sam Byram or James Justin.

When people describe Engel as average, they mean he’s not a stand out left back in the league. It’s not based on his first few games. It’s based on watching him play a full season. You need to understand that those percentiles include 2nd, 3rd and even 4th choice players in some cases including...

A stat like that doesn’t my tell the whole story though. If 9/10 passes are back to the centre back or keeper, your numbers will be artificially high compared to a winger. The same applies if some of your passes are to teammates under pressure. I don’t think Engel had a particularly bad game. I...

I thought he was criticising Silvera more for not helping Engel enough against difficult opposition. He might have called out a few poor decisions or misplaced passes from Engel but it wasn’t over the top or singling him out by any means.
