Very serious and informed discussion on Talkshite this morning with famous "Manchester Cirrrspondent fir rhe Guardian", Jamie Paradise. Apparently, MbRashford must surely be a "shoe-in" for player of the year. Not, I may add, united's player of the year, but the PLs.

Well if he scores say 25 premier goals and Haaland scores 40 we know how it works don’t we?!

Jackson airily dismissed Haaland's record and it was left to Cascarino to point out that some Arsenal players have had pretty good seasons too.

I don’t doubt this is a very real scenario, certainly football writers award. They’ve always had the caveat that it doesn’t man you’ve been the best footballer that season…..eh wtf..

We used to the media dismissing our players when they’ve been world class!

Ruben Dias winning the award is the biggest shock of all previous winners. He was outstanding.

I cancelled my licence years ago and have had 3 visits from the licence fee goons (capita). All you have to say is that you revoke their implied right to access and close the door.

I recently moved home.
We bought our new house and transferred the tv licence to the new address.
The old house was sold 3 months later but, in that short period I received 4 increasingly aggressive letters, each strongly implying that they would prosecute me for not having a tv licence.
I just ignored them as I wasn’t watching tv in the old house, but they were so threatening that I could see why a lot of people would fold and pay them regardless
They act like thugs, they use crude bullying tactics to intimidate people and it convinced me that I should do without a licence in future years, as a point of principle.
To that end we’ve completely weaned ourselves off the terrestrial tv. We watch everything online or through a fire stick and we don’t watch bbc or itv online content.
All I have to do is get out of the habit of listening to radio 4 (which is getting too right wing for me nowadays anyhow) and I’ll then cancel the licence for good.
Not like I can’t afford one, but for the little we’ve ever used the tv it’s not worth it and I don’t like dealing with organisations that act like thuggish twats.

Do you need a TV licence to listen to BBC radio?

Can't you just say "your not coming in" ?

"You're not coming in" would make more sense, but it would sound the same.

Grealish runs into trouble deliberately to win a foul instead of running towards goal. It might have been good for Villa but doesn’t cut it for City unless we are 2-0 up with minutes to go.

Bollox. The number of times he has been tackled from behind. In fact against Leeds he was chased across the half way line by a player who tried to push him and then, a few minutes later, the same player had him by the shirt. There really is a narrative against the guy.

No ...only if you watch it !!
