Thread | Forget Burnley, China is where you need to look for an affordable house

'...the collapse of the housing market. Many Chinese families invested their life savings in their homes, only to watch prices plummet in the last five years.
Housing developers continued to build even as the property market crumbled. It's thought that China's entire population would not fill all the empty apartments across the country.
The former deputy head of China's statistics bureau, He Keng, admitted two years ago that the most "extreme estimate" is that there are now enough vacant homes for 3 billion people.'
What intrigues me is families with life savings and no mention of council house building in a communist state. |

Thread | Great Scots who have played for Town but never won an international cap
at 10:51 21 Mar 2025
Phil's line about Hirst being only the fifth Town player to win a cap for Scotland surprised me, but then I tried to think of others and could only come up with three...who didn't:
Bill Baxter - not even for boxing...
Jimmy Robertson - One cap but either when playing for St Mirren or Spurs
Alex Mathie - Unused squad member in 1987 FIFA Youth Championship
When you think about the Scottish managers we have had here (Scott Duncan, err John Duncan, George Burley, another one who's name I can't remember but I think he played for some German club as a participant in a prestigious tournament) are we a bit unrepresented north of the border ?

But I am worried now, what if the United States tried to poach him ?
Could we send them Jeremy Corbyn instead ? I mean, like for like replacement, innit... |

Thread | Missed catching the full game from Saturday on ESPN but saw highlights

where McKenna and Rashford exchanged warm greetings, I guess Marcus was not one of the players calling him the PE teacher. Would have been nice to see Rashford here on loan but wages and accommodating three players for one position probably prevented that. |
