I'm certainly not. A lot of fucking idiots and/or agenda pushers (Liverpool fans and otherwise) certainly are though.

Oh and OP, if you are "on the side of dropping Wirtz out of the starting line up" then you are one of those fucking idiots. Massively showing yourself up there.

I'm telling you fuckers, this game is very very good. Give it a fair chance.

I'm in the UK with two kittens under 1 year old so hopefully my recent spending is helpful. I've just checked my averages on essentials for a month:

• Dry Food: £18 (They free-feed and finish a large bag in about a month. I use Wellness CORE Kitten and trust its nutrition.)
• Wet Food: £30~ (I feed them one paté pack daily and try to buy in bulk or on sale to keep it under ~£1 per day. I like the Lily's Kitchen stuff but cheaper options are available if you're flexible on brands. This is mainly just to feed them a varied diet and both dry and wet - the dry food is nutritionally complete so they don't even need the wet but I like the hybrid diet and they would murder me in my sleep if I stopped feeding them a wet breakfast.)
• Litter: £30~ (I pay for pretty expensive, high-quality tofu litter [Pidan]. You can definitely find more budget-friendly options here, perhaps around £10-£20 a month for one cat depending on type and how often you change it.)
• Insurance: £25~

So, for food, litter, and insurance, I'm at about £100 per month for two kittens. This doesn't include treats, toys, ad hoc extra nutrition like cans of sardines or the many hard boiled eggs they steal from me, or replacement items for their permanent things.

For flea and worming, and general health, I pay £40 per month for both cats to be on my vet's "Healthy Pet Club" subscription. This plan covers: monthly de-worming and flea treatments, microchipping, vaccinations (both initial and boosters), a discount (20%) off their spaying operations, various free health check-ups.

I'll likely stop this plan after they're a year old, as its main financial benefits will have been covered by then (vaccinations and spaying).

Your estimate of £75-85 for the monthly essentials (food, litter, insurance, flea/worming) for one cat seems pretty spot on, possibly even a bit conservative given my experience with two. If I needed to tighten my spending I could probably cover both of my cats for a similar amount.

That's the spin, yes. Less bureaucracy and red tape too – a classic. Or, maybe getting rid of an independent NHS England actually removes an important buffer. It makes the health service directly accountable to politicians, who seem keen to sell off and privatise chunks regardless of party. A dangerously easy setup for any future government (Reform) to begin strip mining the health service piece by piece.

Been saying that if he doesn't sign by July, get rid ASAP. I don't want to do the whole song and dance again. If he doesn't want to be here or adhere to our wage structure, he can go. I'm sure PSG would take him for a fair sum for both teams.

Make a small gofundme to cover the spaying and a little bit of aftercare. I'll donate a bit and I'm sure some others might too.

If this isn't dealt with in the next week I want him gone ASAP. Great player but I cannot do this song and dance again or have it become the norm.

"He ended up with a job and a family" extremely low bar you've got there, Jesus Christ.

Great post, bringing back some memories.

People often overlook how much more than just a finisher Sturridge was. Elite shooting and movement, yes, but his willingness to drop deep, link play, and pull defenders out of position really rounded out his game. He pops up in midfield so much in this video, and that dummy for the Suarez goal 🤌🤌

Forget Atletico and immediately change the agency representing you while you're at it, Andy lad.

I love the idea of and the lore around braindances but as others have said, once you've done the ones required for the story once they lose their luster. It's like being locked into an on rails section where you just want to get it over with and move onto the more dynamic parts of the game. They are cool the first time though.

Really interested to see how they iterate on BDs in Orion.
