Temperature shock maybe?
Sometimes it just does happen. Might even have been something on the plants if they went in at the same time as the fish. |

Reply | Luke confirms there have been talks with Harry Darling
at 19:05 19 Sep 2024
Agreeing a new contract requires the consent of both parties. This season (and the end of last) he has played well and it's obvious that the club are trying to negotiate a new deal and have been for some time.
Blaming the club for Darling walking for free only works if he actually wants to sign a new deal. Considering that he spent quite a bit of his first eighteen months or so here on and off the bench as a result of Russy's defensive "tweaking", and now he's played himself to a point where others might be interested, then that's not a given. |

That's kinda the point of the register, so it can be checked who these "gifts" came from. To do the level of digging required to find out all that information would probably require a team of hundreds to Police all MP's. A necessary evil perhaps. Maybe a bit OTT. |

Very little, but appearances and all that.
In a lot of cases, these "gifts" are just equivalent value of hotel stays, event tickets, stuff like that. Some will obviously grift more than others though. Some will do their best to avoid declaring it.
All leads to what I've said before. MP's are underpaid. There are too many of them, but those that remain after the cull should earn considerably more. Less temptation to work second jobs/consultancies, less temptation to have the hand out. |

Hospitality probably. Stays in Morgan's if he's politicking in town. Think he's been to the stadium at least once. |

Swansea Arena could possibly have been bigger (and y'know, an actual arena instead of just a big theatre) but they wouldn't have been able to put it where it is.
Always made more sense to me in the long run to have redeveloped the Civic Centre site for it. Loads more room. |

One of the excuses he gave was an inferiority complex about having gone to Cardiff Uni instead of Oxford, which would be an amusing burn in most other circumstances. |

If Cardiff airport was busier it would already be the case. The car park is so unnecessarily convoluted I had to spend longer than I needed to in there and got charged when the place was basically deserted. |

Did you have to pay t'mill owner for privilege of coming to work? 
Aston Villa won the league title in 1981 using just 14 players. Nobody made more than 46 total appearances. Again as an example, Saka last season played 61 times for club and country. First game 6th August, last game 14th July.
Quite happy to be in the minority on this one. Too many games. If people want to see good quality football, then we need to stop overloading the players so some FIFA/UEFA suits can make more cash. |

He's right though. Unfortunately too often the reaction is that players should just shut up and play. Tired players deliver a poorer product. They get injured more often.
I've seen comparisons with Tennis players. Tennis players cover about half the distance in a three hour game than most outfield footballers cover in 90 minutes, and the best do it 50-60 times over a season with only a few days break in between.
Ferguson and Wenger both said similar years ago. Klopp too recently if memory serves. |

Clough and Shankly's teams rarely played 60+ games per season.
There is too much football. Too many greedy Governing bodies wanting their cut of the cake. There is no need for an expanded Champions League. There is no need for an expanded Club World Cup. There is no need for expanded World Cups, European Championships or Nations Leagues. Too many clubs also jetting off around the World on money spinning tours too mind.
Bukayo Saka is only 23 and has already played more than 200 games. The last proper break most of them had was during Covid. Something's got to give. |

£100m for a tram system to cover a distance that takes a 15-20 minute walk, or a £5 Uber.
Just what Wales needs. |

The thing people keep forgetting is that Yates wasn't recruited for Williams, he was recruited for Duff, and under Duff he was on target to easily get into double figures again. Williams had no use for him or Kukharyvich.
Now you can argue the point, and this is generally where I fall, that managers should use what they have until we have alternatives. We've had too many coaches lately who are inflexible about what they want to do, and it's cost us a lot of money. |

"10. Yates. 8. Another successful-looking loan. Clever, always scheming. Deserves a goal soon"
"10. Yates 7.5 his two back heels one of which released Elder for the goal assist, wow 🤩 "
Those two are from the Cardiff game. Lack of goals clearly not the same as a lack of performance/ influence. |

Yep.
I hesitate to rush to early judgement on any player whether the first impressions that I get from them are good or bad, but it's hard not to get excited about this one.
Dare I say it, he's impressed me more early doors than Downes did. |

The same AA who wanted to arrange for a fans party to meet Tan at the airport to show him how loved he was when there was a brief period (before the change of kit colour) when it looked like he might pull funding?
No doubt the offending posts have been hunted down and deleted but I remember reading and pissing myself laughing at them at the time. |

Abdulai is finding playing on the wing in this league a challenge. We have no idea how he'd do if played correctly.
Same as some of the other u21's tearing it up but not given an opportunity. |
