On top of whatever mental illness causes a person to believe they need a billion dollars, once they accumulate it, the money quickly warps reality and smooths out their brain irreparably. Did a little thread about this.

Quite a suitable punishment really, if you fake a serious head injury to try and stop an opposition attack you should be forced to wear a water polo cap for the rest of the game.

That felt brilliant - having Liverpool’s ref in charge makes it worse during, but better when you win!

I feel like referees forget that a free kick is meant to be a benefit to the team that has won it.

The new episode of 'Return To Goodison' is now live. The true magnitude of my plight is now obvious. I have no friends and I am destined to fail.

This is such a weird performance - execution and decision making are both completely off.

It’s this isn’t it, the decision making that results in pass after pass that makes the chance worse, not better.
How about we take a shot, guys? Anybody?

A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country.
We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.
