He should look to put his own house in order seeing the kind of individuals who have found themselves in policing recently.

Not really, the average house price now is (relative to salaries) far higher than it was in years gone by. It's obviously much harder for younger generations to get on the property ladder, and they're not cash rich either due to wages not rising with inflation.

Not the thread for such a discussion, but the Tory government knows many older voters will vote for them until they give them a reason not to - so it won't change until the Tories are out. 

House prices were high when Labour were in Government not all that long ago.

Also I'm old enough to remember when a VHS, TV, and a Personal Computer cost about 6 months wages.

8 1/2 year contract as well

Who on earth would want to buy a championship football club!?

Especially one as an investment.

Can you also buy a pint, like a pub?

Pougatch and Walton also missed this. The ref gave a free kick to Tunisia as a result, didn’t he?!

I didn't think that was what VAR was for? Shouldn't VAR confirm that it wasn't handball and continue with the corner? 

I was watching the Jack Charlton documentary fairly recently and it was sad to hear they hardly ever spoke.

Quite right he’s not a proper manager at all - what’s he ever achieved as a manager in the game?   
He’ an FA man who won’t ever rock the boat.

He's taken a team to a semi-final and a final.

Not really, but if you were doing it whilst there were lots of kids around I'd think you were a bit of a knob.

Well, if away fans are throwing, inter alia, vapes and coins, at home fans sitting below them, it seems quite fair (to me) to deprive them of such objects prior to entering the ground. 

Re. the confiscated coins, Sunderland have stated that this will be given to a charity of the away Club's choice.

The legal definition of Theft, far more important in my view, requires 'the coins' to have been taken ....dishonestly....

I am quite sure a sign warning away supporters that, should they endeavour to bring coins with them in to the ground, such coins will be confiscated (and given to a charity of their Club's choice) should absolve Sunderland of any allegations of theft.

Or taking someone's property without their permission or consent.

How bizarre, I mean who could see that coming....

It's about getting money in and nothing else. I wonder if the Council workers still exempt regardless of their emissions..

No, there is no kind of benefit working for the council whatsoever.

Klopp has never been sacked as far as I know. 

Nor has Ryan Lowe, Jon Dahl Tomasson or Vincent Kompany

If you're talking about the Cumberland Basin, they can't open any more lanes as the tarmac has been completely dug out. They could have done this over the summer when there are no matches and schools are closed though.
