Aye, a fair point - Carlisle could do with the four teams above them being deducted 20 points each! Even the EFL wouldn't contemplate that!

Suella Braverman on the Today programme a few minutes back spent the opening part of her usual grandstanding interview going over righteous stuff about how she works for her constituents etc., and why the job of the party is to win the next general election.

Aye, maybe a bit subtle with the irony there by way of updating the thread to record the poor sod's death. Already seen some online banter about going straight to interring the ashes since the man himself thoughtfully arranged the cremation without stiffing his family with the costs!

It'd be a nice touch if Trump bothered to attend the funeral, though https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68863157
