Together, anything is possible

@NUFCTheMag Completely agree with this

[Simon Chamberlain @simonrch1]

@BKFCentral He is a top coach and will end up winning trophies and in the champions league. But not yet. If I was a fan of one of the “big clubs” I’d expect a manager with Europe on their CV, and he’s not there yet. Leverkusen would make sense.

Spending on working age welfare has barely shifted as a fraction of national income in decades. True that spending on some incapacity and disability benefits is rising but others are being squeezed. Torsten is right. That is not what is pushing up total spending and taxes.

@GuyN72 🤣

@afcb_r0b Great stuff, thanks. My take is the challenger clubs keep the fat 6 honest. (Though not in the literal sense - Man City- allegedly). If we play well and they aren’t on top form, anything is possible.

[Simon Chamberlain @simonrch1]

@GuyN72 What a fantastic signing he’s been.

@UTCInAllDepts In an appropriately named campsite in France. Booked before the date was changed 🙄

@senesimarcos @afcbournemouth Thank you Marcos. I’m glad you got the opportunity this season to show just how good you are. Good luck!

Junior Kroupi, take a bow 💫

@MrLeeCain @Conservatives @KemiBadenoch @ConHome Kemi and her team are irretrievably tarnished by their record. After their last 14 years of government the conservatives should be out of power for a generation.

@RichardJ1959 @afcb_r0b @UTCInAllDepts @GuyN72 Think PGMOL probably have a lot to answer for. Ever hear one of the “TV refs” say anything other than “they got it right”?

[Simon Chamberlain @simonrch1]

@afcb_r0b @UTCInAllDepts @RichardJ1959 @GuyN72 Maybe that’s what it will take. Bin it, then a couple of high profile howlers and it will be brought back, but with some common sense.

@afcb_r0b Nobody knows what handball is

[Simon Chamberlain @simonrch1]

@afcb_r0b @UTCInAllDepts @RichardJ1959 @GuyN72 In the 21st century, to not use technology would be absurd. It’s how it’s used which we have got wrong.
Stick to the principle of clear and obvious - get rid of the fine tolerances, and set time limits.
And empower refs to sort out player behaviour and end the wrestling

@UTCInAllDepts Biggest mistake was travelling back up again for the replay

[Simon Chamberlain @simonrch1]

@BethRigby @IzzyLosseff @JoshGafson1 They haven’t descended into civil war. Calm your language please

[Simon Chamberlain @simonrch1]

@GuyN72 @BmthEchoSport @afcb_r0b @AlexSmithEcho A very helpful and well written explainer. Thanks both

[Simon Chamberlain @simonrch1]

@politixintheuk @archer_rs And the government says not a word about it. Starmer’s biggest fault is he’s a very poor politician

@JamesCleverly @adamboultonTABB Crikey!! I’ve just liked a tweet by James Cleverly

[Simon Chamberlain @simonrch1]

@afcbournemouth Well deserved, another excellent performance. What a signing
