Re: Has Costa had his head turned by offer from China?

He'd be bonkers not to see the season out given Chelsea's position, China will still be there after he picks up his winners medal.

Re: La La Land & Manchester By the Sea

I take it you've seen La La Land then, because I know you wouldn't make that kind of judgement on how good it is without having seen it. Didn't make any judgement about the film at all, just stated that it is clearly inspired by classic Hollywood musicals and the awards love to reward Hollywood nos...

Re: La La Land & Manchester By the Sea

Next on my list of much hyped award fodder to watch is Hunt for the Wilderpeople which does look v.funny.

La La Land will do well at the awards because Hollywood narcissistically loves a film that pays tribute to classic Hollywood (The Artist, Saving Mr Banks etc)

Re: Corbyn & the earnings limit

He won't give a figure though so let's imagine he says £500,000 per year. Reasonable?. Didn't put a figure on it but did ask "Why would someone need to earn more than £50m a year?" which is a valid question. There comes a point where you have more money than you would ever need to live in luxury. W...

Re: Hull get Niasse on loan

Less that £1m for a rest of the season signing isn't awful If he can get them more than a handful of goals.

Some players just don't fit at some teams but he had to have the stats/skills for Everton to sign off 13m for him.

You're correct that he isn't a proven Premier League striker... But just because he isn't doesn't mean that he's worth barely more than he was worth two years ago.

Re: Andre Gray

It doesn't help the case that we often resort to route one hoof ball: long ball from the keeper, flick on, shot and some fortune with the keeper. We're can't rely on getting goals like that, 3 lovely crosses into the box from Defour withing minutes of coming on showed us what we've missed in him.
