There's a double negative at question 26. Probably too late to change now I'm guessing but maybe worth pointing out that people might read it two different ways. Do enjoy a bit of psychology. Good luck with it.

Well that's it, there isn't really any competition for the vast majority of public services is there? All it does is encourage them to cut costs and charge as high prices as they can get away with. It's the opposite of efficient, they're effectively taking money or investment away from public...

Sort of. But it wasn't a linear continuous improvement in league position or squad quality. After we beat them in the play-off semis they sold Andre Gray for big money. They then finished: 9th, 10th, 9th, 11th, 3rd and then 3rd when they got promoted through the play-offs. They had a high...

Thats just as true of privatisation though isn't it? The only argument for privatisation was the myth that the private sector would be more efficient. A myth that's now been well and truly shown for what it is.

Think it's symptomatic of the issue you face if you don't go up, the vultures come and cherry pick your best players. Or, more in the case of us and Sunderland, you lose top quality loan players who made a difference. Even if you get big fees in, easier said than done replacing the proven...

Nothing against Vic, very much enjoyed shooting stars. But their other joint stuff I found a bit hit and miss (probably a bit too surreal for my tastes to be honest). Whereas I think Bob on his own in anything is brilliant. WILTY, task master, cats does countdown, gone fishing etc. Just a very...

Wow, too many to mention. Erm... Bob, The pythons, Larry David, Coogan, The fast show (assuming if python counts, they count....?)

Just doing what we did last time in the PL would pretty much do the trick (albeit with a 9 month delay).

Not quite the same, but my housemates at uni both played Rugby (one was the first team captain) and they often tried to convince me to play for the Saturday morning team they had in the local leagues. The fact they were always coming back with broken fingers, dislocated shoulders etc did put...

Jack of all trades, master of none. Decent at most things I've tried, but rarely the best. Tennis and footy are my best sports, but possibly only because they're the ones I play the most. A for effort, B for ability is probably about right I'd say. "Runner-up" should be my middle name 😎

There's a difference between culture and values. Values are a bit harder to define. If it's a British value then I'd argue it's something a significant majority of Brits agree with. Although the far right in the country treat it with contempt, what's in the human rights act isnt a bad starter...

Could be a bargain. Hard to come back and be 100% after the injury he's had, but his mixed form this season should have lowered his value. Full pre-season behind him, gets a run in the side and I think we could easily see the Huddersfield version next season if he does stay. Just depends on...

Yep. I don't think this cartoon can ever be shared too many times. Too many of the population need to wake the F up and realise this is exactly what's happening.

At last! Irritates me how many people just refer to them as one group (no doubt thanks to the likes of the mail doing the same when it suits). As you say, big differences and very different issues/debates to be had on what the approach should be.

The official answer is: Democracy, Rule of Law, Respect and Tolerance, Individual Liberty. So to echo the unicorn above, all things our government has repeatedly tried to undermine.

I know how probability works thanks. You're not wrong about the maths but you're talking about averages over a period of time. Which is different from the point I was making. My first sentence was a bit lazy, fair enough. Almost edited it because I suspected someone would pull me up on it. I...

A lot of fans have a hard time changing their minds once they've decided a player is crap. The beauty with strikers is, if they're banging them in, it becomes very hard to keep denying they're any good. To be fair a lot people holding their hands up about being wrong on Lath.

It's incredible that in 6 months he's gone from utterly useless to "well that's him definitely off to a bigger club next season then" 😂 Seems to be something of a pattern in recent seasons this. Silvera to become the best winger in the championship next season. There, I've said it 😉 (taps...

Yeah sorry, was a bit salty from wasn't it 😂 I don't really have a horse in this race. I agree with the principle of using some form of technology to help with decision making but also think the way VAR is being used is absolutely shockingly bad. Certainly no desire to see it in the...
