Wow, I genuinely had the same thought yesterday whilst watching us play. I thought we is it that we are the only team not to be able to take corners properly. As soon as that thought popped up in my head the bloody bastards scored from a corner!

Our corners and set pieces have been a joke for years and is something that can easily be put right on the training pitch

Lamela's corner and Kane's free-kick were alright.
Meant to say crossing at set pieces as our shooting from them has been pretty good in the last few seasons .
Lamelas corner was decent but most corners still hit the 1st man which has been driving me crazy for a long time

Exactly, unlike most fans, he has the money to make it better!

Blimey. Sugar in 'reasonable tweet' shocker. He did say that but then Pochettino said something similar about Spurs last year when we played and beat Southampton. Hopefully he'll prove himself correct...

Of many formats, yes. He's a hardcore Tory, so putting all the evidence in a line - including how he ran spurs - I think he feeds off the tears and misery of the proletariate

Just have to take issue with the Hardcore Tory bit. He was a "business champion" (fuck I hate the term champion) under new labour and was a member of the party. No longer being a labour member doesn't make you "hardcore tory". He is a centrist.

Apart from leaving the Labour party, telling people not to vote for Sadiq Khan for MoL, then endorsing Theresa May for the 2017 election, saying he'd leave the country if Corbyn was elected, tweeting pictures of Corbyn as Hitler, endorsing BoJo for the 2019 Tory leadership, then endorsing the Torys in the 2019 election.
He's just another gravy train Tory champion now

My work are starting to ask us to be in the office more regularly (I struggle to see the rationale as my role does not require me to be office based) anyway yesterday all anyone did was chat, people wandering over to desks and talking inane nonsense that had nowt to do with work. I get far more done at home on my own

I think it's a control factor. There are people who will take the piss, but they will do that regardless. I've worked with plenty of people who appeared to do nothing when WFH, but the issue wasn't intrinsically where they worked - it was the business.
For example, you're either paid to do a job, or you're paid to sit there for 7.5 hours (or so) per day. For example, a security guard is paid for presence, and a solicitor is paid for activity.
If your solicitor is WFH and you can't "measure" their output enough to, a) keep them honest, or b) justify their efficiency, that's on the managers/business.
If the solicitor does the same amount of work from home than they would in the office, but has time to spend playing with their kids instead of dawdling around making idle conversation in work, why resent them as if they are paid for presence?
IMO you'll always get lazy people, but business are blind to it when it's in the office, and paranoid when it's from home.
