£14.95 to watch a game on pay per view is disgraceful. £5, ok, but £14.95? It's disgusting. At a time when PL clubs spent £1.2bn on players. When they'll give agents £200m. When so many families are struggling. The creed of greed is in @premierleague DNA but this truly stinks.
The most effective way to keep Covid in check and return to semblance of normality (far more so than blanket restrictions) is to have as many people as possible being tested, regularly & regardless of symptoms.

We are trending no 1 and 2 in England. I need everyone’s help to keep this noise going as I head to training but before I go, to ALL MPs in Parliament, this is not about politics. The same way us players put rivalry aside when we put the England shirt on, please #maketheuturn

@MartinSLewis I have just been on a ski season on a PAYE Contract till April 30th. The company cancelled our contract on the 15th of match, giving us a 3 weeks notice period.
Can the company reinstate us for the 80% scheme ? Our holiday pay has also been tripped from us!!!
We leave the EU
•without a nationally endorsed plan
•without our own rights and jobs protected
•without agreement on security
•or goods
•or services
•or data
•or regulations
•or fucking fish...
But
•with a coin and a passport made in France.
Could we be more ridiculous?
