If the asking figure is accurate, it makes no sense. We need to shore up with experienced championship players. Arguably, Adams' first few games has kept us up as much as the last few result. Maybe our best signing of summer and winter

I always felt the numbers being thrown around weren't genuine numbers. couldn't be, could they? He's very fast. He seems to be ahead of Blair in his experience. A much lower number and more experience and he could be good for us on the right.

I agree with what has been said. Alli ended up starting game after game and burned out. he's looked better the last two games. What about Caballero?

I’m alive because I was brought back to life at a supervised consumption site.

Without them:
No recovery.
No kids.
No life.

The drug supply today is even more toxic.

Closing these sites doesn’t stop drug use,
it stops people from surviving it.

On issue after issue, we see that Labour voters share most values with Green and Lib Dem voters and almost none with Reform voters. And yet Labour's strategy does not reflect that. The dissonance drives me mad on a daily basis. How many times can one underline the obvious?
