    Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

    I can't comprehend how you can manage to read a full post and only quote the first two words.

    Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

    There's a look of ratface about the way he plays. Spends more time moaning to the ref and waving his arms about than actually playing

    Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

    I'm disappointed. I thought we played really poorly. Rodri and Kovacic trying to take people on rather than keeping it simple and passing it. Bernardo was doing it as well. Some poor passing giving them chances. We've just drawn 3-3 in Real Madrid's shiny new stadium and I'm disappointed by...

    Remembering Kurt Cobain & Layne Staley Who Both Died 30 & 22 Years Ago Today RIP

    Two excellent MTV Unplugged sets as well. The Alice in Chains one is a bit haunting as one of Staley's last performances. Just say no, kids

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I've just been a little bit sick, but you're right. There's a World Cup there in two years time and if that can finally kick start football in America to European levels, there's obscene money to be made.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I'm not sure those Pink Final boards ever really reflected what the story was about now I think about it. I don't believe there's a media conspiracy against us beyond a commercial one that negative stories clearly get a lot of clicks from fans of other clubs and it's probably easier than...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I used to read it, but lately, most of the stories use the same clickbait Media watch calls out on other platforms. The 'expulsion' thing is a good example, where someone said that if the charges were proven it could result in expulsion from the PL, which I don't think would surprise anyone...

    What is a good salary?

    I started with a 4% SWR, then changed it to 3.5%, then decided to add 20% to my income requirement, just in case. And have excluded state pension, just in case it goes. Wouldn't mind, not sure I fancy retirement anyway! Most likely the kids are going to be able to get a very good...

    What is a good salary?

    It does come down to what you need to live happily and the less that is, the easier everything else becomes. Because I'm sad, I've now got monthly spending info for the last 3 tax years. That's mainly been done so I understand what needs to be in our pensions, but has given a good insight...

    What is a good salary?

    I recall c£40k feeling like a good salary as it was around that point where the higher tax rate would kick in which used to require self assessment. £40k in 2000 is the equivalent of £72k now in terms of costs of goods, but I suspect wages haven't kept up with that, especially since 2008, and...

    Premium bonds

    It's been higher recently due to the high interest rates, but prize fund is now 4.4%, so similar to what you're getting, but it's an average, impacted by the larger prizes. As I mentioned, those rates have been less than inflation for the last year or so, so you've lost buying power. As I said...

    Premium bonds

    A pretty bad investment, as they generally pay out less than you can get from a bank, although there's no tax. You won't lose the money, but they generally don't keep up with inflation either, so longer term you'd see the value of the holding decline unless you get one of the bigger payouts...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    C'mon PL, you must have some additional charges you've been pondering. You've got until 20:15 to get them in

    Best band you've seen live?

    Although I've seen some very good performances at places like the NEC, Manchester Arena or stadiums, unless you're there early enough to get to the front, it's a bit like watching a loud DVD. Metallica have done the arena in the round, which helps, but still a bit impersonal. And whilst...

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    Scousers to lose now, after Arsenal handed it to them. Don't see them dropping that many points, especially with the story St Jürgen winning yet another PL gives to the league merchandising team around the world. Listening to Arsenal fans on the radio, it seems like most will be happy with 2nd...

    Injuries - 2023/24 | Ederson, De Bruyne, Akanji, Grealish & Nunes all back in training (p138)

    Unless he decides to retire from international football, you can't just pick and choose which games you can play or you risk a Fifa ban. Unless you're an Arsenal player, it seems.

    Heartbreaking moments as a City fan - when your favorite player leaves

    Whilst not really leaving, watching Lake come out in a knee brace to kick off his testimonial was quite a dusty experience. We didn't really get to see Silva leave due to covid and that would have be a tough one to be at, as he was my mum's favorite player. For me, the hardest one was Zaba...

    The Full Members Cup

    First trip to Wembley. Went by coach and don't recall any trouble so may have been lucky. Like others, left at 5-1 down gutted. Remember hearing a cheer and assuming they'd scored again. Had to wait at the coach and then had fans talking about how they thought we'd equalise. The best thing...
