The new season
So, he we are. After the disaster of the World Cup all eyes turn to the Premier League. One of the marvels of the modern world.
No doubt the terraces will be packed as supporters profess their love for their favourites and why not, it is the country’s national game and the failure of the national team will quickly be forgotten as those winter Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays are filled with goals galore.
But for some, the appeal is diminishing. The ordinary supporter has perhaps reached a precipice where they just can’t keep shelling out more and more money. The top players on £100,000 a week are becoming even more devoid from reality when the country is moving, with all probability, into recession and belt tightening is on the way as the government seeks to reduce the deficit.
In addition no one knows when the games are being played. Saturday at 3pm is just a distant myth. Of course things have to move on and Sky have made a massive investment in the game. HDTV, and far superior coverage have all added to the experience for the armchair fan but for the fan going to the games it is very frustrating.
One now buys a season ticket not knowing when the games will be played. Saturday at 12.45, 3pm or 5.30. Sunday at 1, 3, 4. Mondays at 8. Who knows?
I for one do not understand why games cannot be televised at 3pm on a Saturday. There is an objection that it affects other games attendances, but when games are moved to Sunday because of Europa cup games the previous Thursday they still televise other games which take place at the same time.
It’s about time the FA and the Premier League moved to address some of these concerns.
For some times a £100 season ticket cut could be financed by around £1-2m, Chicken feed when they receive £60m a year from TV.
Come on sort it out!!

Incompetent
Apologies to Sam on Facebook but this post was prompted by your post about the government.
It is being increasingly clear that Dave and his boys are struggling and are not fit for government. They lurch from one crisis to another day by day. The budget they have presented has been panned by most major economists who believe it will push us back int recession and cause mass unemployment. How they believe it will create 2.5m jobs when most private sector businesses are trying to just stay afloat is beyond me.
Then we get the shambles of the school building programme. Talk about benefitting the few with their pointless free schools programme. Do we not all remember the leaking schools and mobile classrooms before Labour came to power. This will all be back.
Then we get the deputy PM giving a personal view on the Iraq war, talking about it being illegal. Standing in the House, calling it illegal when the House voted for it. Shows he knows little.
Now we get the row over Trident. Should it be Treasury funded or paid by the MOD who are fighting in two places and will have to have funds cut and find £20bn.
Expect to see Liam Fox go.
I do hope Labout get the right leader because this time next year it is likely we will have a new Labour government.

The Brokeback Coalition
Well, we are now 3 months into our grand Coalition government and the strains are beginning to show. David Davis MP is not impressed and quite a few Lib Dem councillors are talking about joining Labour for fear of the kicking they will receive at the next election.
The latest plan is to massively reduce the road safety budget. Yes, some do seem to be placed to raise money but outside schools, surely these are doing so good?
There was always an alleged theory under Mrs Thatcher that the winter fuel payments were so low that it was felt better to kill OAP's off to save the NHS money. It seems that perhaps getting more killed on the road will do the same job, and perhaps cut the benefit bill.
The Coalition does seem to be stumble from one disaster to another. Prison parties, school building, programme, pointless free schools, commission on Trident turns into well, we will spend £20bn when we can't afford it. Cowtowing to the US over BP and waiting 4 days to defend the police over Raoul Moat.
Come on Mr Cameron, get some proper leadership. You have been pretty much a shambles so far.

BBC
Ah, so I return from holiday and find the knives out for the BBC. Is it because they are overspending or because the BBC were not always Tory friendly.
Maybe the second more than the first. What we need is more trash TV. More garbage like Harry Hill, Ant & Dec etc. Most of the stuff churned out by ITV. Our TV used to be the best in the world. It is possible at it's lowest ebb.
I would imagine that one of the digital tv services is right for the chop. I hope it's not BBC4 which is excellent and I hope they cans till afford Family Guy. Bird is the word anyone?

School building programme cut
So, the education secretary has announced today the freezing of Labours milti billion pound school rebuilding programme affecting 700 schools. However they are to press ahead for their free schools plan. A new school from scratch will cost £25m.
You have to question the logic of these. A few free schools in exchange for better buildings for 700. The good of the few outweighing the good of the many.
I’m not sure about you but this is certainly not a progressive government they claim to be. It seems to be again about benefiting the better off in society at the expense of the not so better off.
Parent governors only stay in the job while their kids are at school 7 years at the most. Then they are not interested, will it be the same as free schools.
In addition who has the time to set up these schools, certainly not parents who are both working.
Finally, why are we committing to spending billions replacing Trident. Yes I know there is a review but the defence secretary has already premepted that review by saying we will spend the money.
Does anyone seriously think that we would use it to, say, attach Al-Qaeda. How many other countries in the area would you take out as well.
In addition, if we were attacked do we seriously think the US wouldn’t retailiate on our behalf. I’m sure we can find better ways to spend the money, school rebuilding perhaps?

The Guardian
So, this morning the Guardian claims to have seen a leaked treasury document that shows that the governments public spending cuts will increase unemployment by 1.3 million.
The full article is here:
http://gu.com/p/2t3dd/tw
It's not a surprise. How can you cut spending and not have more unemployment. In addition increasing the VAT rate to 20% is also going to have an effect on jobs in the retail sector. Demand will fall, without question, and jobs will go.
The treasury believes that the private sector will take up the slack and create 2.5m jobs over 5 years. I think they need to wake up. The private sector is very worried about going back into recession and when we come out will need to stabalise itself. There will be no 2.5m jobs created.
I'm not sure who the government ministers are talking to, but they obviously are the wrong ones.
If prove be needed that the budget was harsher than it should have been, then these figures are it.

On yer bike
So Iain Duncan Smith is trying to echo Norman Tebbits famous quote of the 80s. Get on your bike and find work. We'll give up on those areas with no work and move you to other places. It's just like one of those post holocaust films of the future, where there are no go areas. Jeez, it's lucky Mrs T didn't have the idea in the 80s or everyone would be living in the South East by now as there was no work anywhere else!!!
England
In 1991 the 22 teams in the English First division resigned.
The FA stated that their aim was to build a new system which would put England at the top.
This has turned out to be nonsense. All it's meant is that the players are earning disgusting amounts of money. The fans are paying over the top prices and England are going backwards.
The players are playing too many games. Ferguson and Wenger moan about England friendlies but they all rush off on far eastern tours.
In addition the Champions League and Europa league with their endless stream of games are way too much.
It's all very well saying they are top athletes but the body can only take so much.
The kids are stuck on full size pitches at 11 years old instead of playing five a sides. The whole system is wrong from schools upwards.
Yes the Germans and the Spanish play almost as many games, but not at the pace we do.

Fulham
So, now we've complained about Fulham fielding a weakened team. After all the Sheffield United furore we've now stooped to their level. The East End soap opera that is West Ham and not Eastenders goes from bad to worse. Gold and Sullivan were supposed to make things better. They are just making it worse.

Stoke
Yes, I know it's a few days since the shambles, but really what was that all about. There is nothing there at all. I can't see us getting a point anywhere. On Sunday we go to Everton. It's very worrying that we will lose our Premier League status.
I think Zola has made a mistake in carrying on as he will be tarnished with the manager who got West Ham relegated.
We have a very hard run in, hard away games, and not easy home games.
The team selections get weirder by the week. Leaving out Diamanti and playing Dyer, who rumour has it basically tripped over at half time.
The club, just like 2003 has become another joke.

Last night game
Well, I didn't attend Upton Park last week and I was glad I didn't. What a disgraceful performance, against a not very good team. Yes, Wolves were up for it but really we should have won comfortably.
I am firmly in the Zola out camp. His team selections seem to be increasingly bizarre and who decided to buy McCarthy. What a waste of time he is. He needs to go on a diet!!
We were told Steve Clarke was a marvellous defensive coach. There wasn't much evidence of that last night.
We need someone else before the weekend because if we don't change I can't see much against Stoke,
Budget day
So we had the last budget before the election today. It was a nothing budget as was expected. It was a holding budget as none of the measures announced will be made law if the Tories win the election.
We have a huge deficit which we need to get down and the way each party will get down will be a major focus of the election campaign.
The stamp duty increased to £250,000 was helpful but of course it put the Tories in a corner as the stamp duty for over £1m purchases is now 5%. They have announced they will not oppose it.
Cameron obviously realised he can't oppose it or Labour will scream more class divisions.
It was a boring hour and not the most enthralling budget.
