@HitTheByline What has Hirst done to his barnet again?

[Alex Blagona @blagona]

JUST RUN UP AND HIT IT!

[Alex Blagona @blagona]

@ollieitfc07 @greyskiesxt5 So so injury prone.

[Alex Blagona @blagona]

Fair play to @CPFC - always said it, proper club, proper fans.

It would truly sum up Middlesbrough's season collapse if having dropped out of the top 2, lost in the play-offs, got reinstated into the play-off final, still somehow contrive to NOT get promoted.

@Stuart_Watson "No bigger club in Europe than Celtic" is doing some heavy lifting here. Once they get knocked out of Europe by some mid-table Norwegian team, St Mirren away doesn't seem that attractive...

@alienfromzog @IamBalhamMatt None of this, absolutely none of this, is on #boro. By all accounts Saints have been cheating all season, and have only copped for 3 matches. If it was caught mid-season it would be a 20 point deduction.

@dansmartitfc Ah, so the 'intern' was somehow in Ipswich.

[Alex Blagona @blagona]

@IpsRich I can't think of a good vantage point?

[Alex Blagona @blagona]

@ConceptScouting @logicalclaret If Southampton have admitted to doing this on multiple occasions, then the punishment is fair. Continued rule breaking - jumped from 15th to 4th, 18+ games unbeaten, but how much of that was down to advanced tactical information?

[Alex Blagona @blagona]

@SouthamptonFC May as well book the holidays now lads.

@MatthewStadlen She's the LAST person that should be calling for a General Election.

@DanielJHannan The cost of running the railway has more than doubled in real terms since privatisation from £2.4bn per year (1990–91 to 1994–95) to approximately £5.4bn per year (2005–06 to 2009–10) — taxpayer subsidy has gone up, not down.

[Alex Blagona @blagona]

@DanielJHannan Increased overcrowding (due to fewer carriages in service) is actually listed as one of the documented drawbacks of privatisation. 3/4

[Alex Blagona @blagona]

@DanielJHannan Yet again your claim is overstated and selective. An analysis of historical data found between 1974 and 1992, 89.7% of British Rail services were recorded as punctual, compared to 87% for privatised TOCs from 1993 to 2012 - So BR was more punctual, not less. 1/4

@DanielJHannan Safety has improved across the entire post-war period and is among the best in Eur. The privatised era opens with 3 of the worst rail disasters: Hatfield, Ladbroke Grove and Potters Bar, the first 2 of which were linked to maintenance responsibilities introduced by pvtisation 2/4

@acsnaara @uk_sf_writer @PolitlcsUK @MikeRouah Keen to see which studies debunked them, and on what grounds? Bloom et al. triangulate two independent methods — synthetic control across 33 economies and direct survey data from 7,000+ UK firms — that converge on similar estimates.
