The Poolie Bunker

I think Burn is a much better defender than you seem to give him credit for, Haaland needs to have someone who can shove him about too, someone like him and Stones who are going to put their heads in where it hurts.

I just said that stop the ball getting to Haaland.

Sometimes a wise head can compensate for youth and disrupt a players game, which is the name of the game.

Potential bank holiday 24th July from Starmer if we win the world Cup.

He's still a w. Anchor tho.

Worst pm ever

What about Truss, what did she achieve apart from collapsing the markets forcing interest rates up which have still not returned to the pre Truss level.

So the markets can’t have any faith in Starmer either, if that’s the case…..only he’s been down there a lot longer.

The markets are overated bullshit.
Truss getting the interest rates to normal was more good than a bad thing.
A lot more winners than losers from her tenure.

We Gunna win v Norway 2 1

Anyone fancy a upset in any of remaining QF games?

only upset i can see is from the media if england lose. what will they go on and on about then with reporters suddenly find an interest in football they never had. seems so false to me and the big reason i,m staying away from it all.

Winners, tell that to anyone with a mortgage.

The FTSE 100: The blue-chip index has regularly achieved fresh record highs, buoyed by strong corporate earnings and the Bank of England's interest rate cuts.
The FTSE 250: The domestically-focused mid-cap index surged following the July 2024 election and continues to trend upward, reflecting improved investor sentiment and clarity
The U.K. markets are not governed by the U.K. economy a spike can occur depending on what side of bed Trump gets out of or he wakes up to a warm Coke.

The low % loans weren't Gunna last forever.
Your era was probably 8%, mortgages when the banks only give you 3x 1 years wages loans or a couple 2.5% joint incomes.

Now the banks lend to much but never lose.

Ye it is harder for today's youth to get on the property ladder.



I guess todays over 50s bought houses in the best era.
Best to struggle with a mortgage than rent.

93 was the best year to buy a house, and i was lucky to have ex who was a bankrupt at the time,so her name were not on the deeds when we split.

The Viking might disagree with you there,kev..

They used to be Vikings.

Anutha top quality result.

These particular Vikings ended up with their longboat up a creek and ended up with the horns of their helmet on the inside.

Doesn’t appear to many England fans on here as no comments about the Norway game, reading the reports the manager wasn’t happy, he said England were lucky but a win is a win no matter if it’s a lucky win. I hope Pools have loads of lucky wins this season.

You're not Scottish by any chance,Jamie?

It would explain a lot.

Wrong again I am only posting what’s being written in the media as I didn’t watch the game.

I don't have a problem with Tuchels n Bellinghams different views of the game.

But thought Gabriel Clarke was out of order with his aftermatch interviews.

Sure the dust will settle and we sorted for Wednesday nite.

England v France final.

Half Thai but he will change to full English if we win the world Cup.
Maybe get a well done England from him.

See how them Little Englanders fare when they face the mighty argies might have crossed his mind...

Spot on with your prediction for our last game,kev...what's the guff for Wednesday?

Win 4 3 on penalties after a bit of Var shit.
