there seemed to be a strong sense that the job was done- in another situation the players ideally wouldn't be spending days out on the lash during the season. It was all a bit undisciplined and unprofessional but as the huge post season celebration proved, I don't think many fans were that...

Gateshead was my first ever non league ground back when I was a student in Newcastle. They were in the Northern Premier league at the time so it was even more sparse than it is now crowd wise, but it is absolutely HUGE for a non league ground. They've struggled for many years, partly because...

haven't watched it yet but by all accounts it was a very good show, as most AEW ppv's are in my opinon Danielson vs Ospreay was apparently exceptional

sounds like he won't be effected by this "crackdown" as he is in, even in the eyes of the DWP, fit to work if he's been asked to do so. A slightly separate issue really as this is more about those who are signed off

absolutely, the whole application process is seemingly designed to discourage people from applying in the first place. It's very dehumanising

As I said, if he's on what was ESA then he's been assessed by several trained health professionals and also this is reviewed on a regular basis. although if he's required to look for work then sounds like he's on what was JSA.

yep! this was a perennial issue for me. The claimant would be turned down and turned down to the point of tribunal, get awarded it at tribunal with a lovely big f*** off back payment which would immediately get blown down "wine me up"

depends how you define "legitimate" every applicant for PIP goes through a length application process. Their application needs to be supported by medical evidence from a health professional (consultant, GP, support worker etc). They then are heavily scrutinised in an independent assessment from...

in a previous role as a support worker I have guided countless people through the benefits system the level of scrutiny that they are placed under for PIP and (what was) ESA claims is pretty intense and I've seen people who are very obviously disabled get declined for both it is very hard to...

btw- "Maradona was a cheat"- all players cheat the difference with Maradona, is that he refused to show any semblance of remorse about it because he was such a cheeky scamp. Also he did it against the team with the most insecure and easily outraged fans on earth which probably fuelled his...

I think even taking the silverwear into account he is the absolute pinnacle of flair

there's a beautiful romance with Maradona that you won't get with any other top tier player. He was a (very) flawed genius and of course, absolutely mental. He forged an inseparable bond with the clubs that he played for to the point that he is still worshipped by fans of Napoli and Boca...

I have a large extended family and all the teenagers in it work, as do their mates. They couldn't wait to start earning

well I've had the misfortune of my formative years being from 2010ish onwards so I can only really focus on the last 5 but: Cameron- held an unnecessary referendum that completely destabilised the country to save his own skin. Oversaw taking a machete to our public services May- completely out...

would love them to move the away fans and ditch "fanzone"
