    It still does, I claimed job seekers allowance for a short time mainly because you get your NI paid

    I bet some of Bournemouth and Brighton's squad are on £20k a week. We need to get away from overpaying moderate players.

    Just hope we don't get all the "easy" teams first if that's the case.

    Agreed if true, £12 million plus £20k a week is decent for a squad player.

    Just hope there's someone at the club with a veto over any players over 30 being signed for a sizeable fee on big wages.

    My other half is from Suffolk, they're good people, apart from the Brexit and supporting Thatcher but!

    I rarely give any credit to away fans, but Ipswich fans were fantastic today. No boring anti Scouse sign on sign on chants, no feed the Scousers nonsense. They just got behind their side and engaged in banter in the right way. Plenty of their...

    It's not that simple. We need good recruitment and I'm not convinced we've got anyone capable of signing good players for a reasonable price.

    No squad depth plus conservative management is a recipe for lots of draws.

    There is, but it's a long term problem. The solution is to do what they do in Australia where everyone is forced to pay a lot into their pension , employer and employee and it's separate from any other tax. But if you started that now it would be...

    67 for me, and 68 soon after so 5 years then, maybe less if poverty remains as high.
