Satire is dead: Boris Johnson edition (v26598)
at 12:59 8 Oct 2024

Keir Starmer’s decision to accept clothing freebies “looks greedy”, according to Boris Johnson.

The former prime minister criticised his Labour successor’s decision to accept gifts of clothing and glasses, saying Starmer “must be worth a bob or two” as a result of his legal career.

So relegation/survival rivals?
at 11:34 7 Oct 2024

From the first set of games, it looks as though Wolves are hopeless and Southampton not much better.

Southampton have them in the next 4 games, plus a slowly improving but still poor Everton team and Leicester.

I can't see either of Wolves or Southampton improving significantly if the current managers stay. O'Neil is on a run of 1 win in 18 PL games, so he probably won't last much longer so that could turn their season, but then they also have issues with PSR.

We are going to need to finish above 3 of:

Wolves
Southampton
Everton
Leicester

I can't see many others being dragged into it based on how the season has started.
Palace are too good to stay down there for much longer.

Thoughts?

Interesting article on the 'charity' of the Stoke owners today
at 09:40 4 Oct 2024

All is not as it seems and it has saved her £140m in tax but has given away just £78m to good causes.

And for some, of course very honest reason, has over £700m in reserves not actually being given to charities at all.
