Isak behaved far worse over the summer but any criticism of him was always caveated with the need to understand his position, etc

08.12.2025 14:14 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It is if you're comparing nationally, but schools often operate like cartels locally. Where I live, almost all of them charge around Β£15k/year regardless of quality or reputation
08.12.2025 13:48 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Generally, I agree with you. But I'm assuming they're as risky averse as 90% of the population and would sooner stick the money in premium bonds than a stocks and shares ISA

08.12.2025 11:54 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 2 π 2Yes! There's very few schools where you can say the price of admission is worth it for the networks. After that, it's more a status symbol for the parents
08.12.2025 11:42 β π 34 π 2 π¬ 6 π 0Honestly, get this couple a financial advisor, because their decision making is absolutely nuts
08.12.2025 11:38 β π 63 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0My free advice to this couple? Instead of paying Β£47k a year in school fees and scraping by, stick 15k a year in each kid's bank account so that they each have around Β£100k at age 18 to spend on a house, business or uni. You then have Β£17k/year leftover to spend on luxuries. Better life all round

07.12.2025 21:47 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Agree, but every corner from every team is now curled under the crossbar. I'd love to see us gamble and leave 2-3 players outside the box when defending, I reckon we'd get a lot of breaks catching teams out who've overloaded the box

07.12.2025 21:30 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Maybe. Though we took control in the cup final by floating corners to the middle of the box for Dan Burn. And Man Utd used to have a lovely routine for Scholes/Sheringham to volley in from the edge of the area. There's other ways to cause chaos
07.12.2025 21:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It's really annoying that every corner is just put under the crossbar to create a goalmouth scramble. Hard to believe every club is paying a set piece coach to tell players to just lump it into the mixer
