@RedAndWhite2017 As an ex-pat I enjoy watching U21 games on SAFC youtube.

This was free last year. Do I have to pay £48 to watch the U21 games this coming season?

@JamesCopley_ @richardpurdom90 I think there was a fitness issue as well. Rice and James were not fit after sickness and injury. The others had just come thro a mega match at altiyude followed by 120 mins in searing heat. And there werent good options on the bench in midfield (he obv doesnt fancy Mainoo)

@Sunlundy Think the membership scheme offers £10 off the pre-season streaming.

They obviously considered it and thought - nah, let's squeeze a bit more ot of them

@georgeeaton @ArguablyMag The goal was to raise state pension in real terms.

The full pension is now c. £12.5K pa?

Should we be content to give up the mechanism at this point?

@UnderTheLight73 Kone. Knows Flo.

@JamesCopley_ Good piece and rightly supportive of what Murty has done and how he's done it.

But why is he going? What improvements are SAFC looking to achieve by making the change?

[mark @happy_layabout]

@henrywinter The owner. The manager. The captain.

All delivered perfectly to enable relegation favourites to qualify for Europe.

IMHO - take any one of them out and it doesn't happen.

@davidyelland The cheating you say?

[mark @happy_layabout]

@PJTheEconomist How does that benefit Boro? The wronged party.

@JamesCopley_ Can't knock Speakman's impact but he was difficult to warm to as he sounded like a second division management consultant. A problem I think Burwell is going to have as well.

The straight talking influence on Ghisolfi is more lkely from Corsica- he was at Bastia from age 15 to 25

@DPJHodges The boy who cried wolf.

There may be something in this story. But your dreary, daily obsession means nobody is listening.

[mark @happy_layabout]

@DPJHodges And if he did, you and your Daily Mail cronies would be consumed by faux outrage for weeks.

[mark @happy_layabout]

@thfcxdaniel He lifted his left leg, dragged it onto onien in order to simulate a foul.

He aimed to con the ref and was nearly successful - would have been if not for VAR.

@DPJHodges Made a decision not to support Trump's war. Seems easy now but at the outset there were many politicians and newspapers urging the UK to be part of it.

He put UK on the right side of history. That's important to many - although clearly not to you or any other Daily Mail lackey.

[mark @happy_layabout]

@henrywinter Sunderland achieved both. It was close, a last minute winner, but. they didn't bet the club on achieving promotion.

[mark @happy_layabout]

@DAaronovitch Or to comprehend how Trump et al would respond to other countries openly trying to influence US elections

[mark @happy_layabout]

@McFaul Walk into the Oval Office with a copy of the Washington Treaty.

"Read that and get back to me".

"Oh, and while you are at it, if you want a continued worldwide presence and bases in Europe - stop being so childish"

Job Done.

[mark @happy_layabout]

@dave_brown24 Not a problem pulling out of countries. More difficult finding countries who want a US presence.

[mark @happy_layabout]

@StevenErlanger @A_Sloat It's pretty much lost - unless you count Hungary (at least for a couple of days)

[mark @happy_layabout]

@StevenErlanger Rutte:

- it's a defensive alliance.
- It's once gone to war, in support of USA after 9/11
- it's specifically not there to support a member's "war of choice". This constitutional clause was drafted and included by USA on NATOs establishment

ps. when will you open the Strait?
