    Your distraction tactics and attempts to make me even later are somewhat annoying. Luckily my laptop battery is on about 8% (can't believe I've used 192% battery already) so luckily for me it's about to be taken out of my hands

    I’m more concerned at how you think 55% of the road is motorway when none of it is till you get to South Tyneside <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    Good, you shouldn't be driving with a laptop battery in your hands.

    Have we not bought the league yet? What's the point in even having all this blood money when Forest are out-buying us?

    Because it is 45 minutes quicker to go via M9, M74, A74(M), M6 and then across to A1(M). The A9, A66 and A168 make up the 45%

    Think you can get rid of the first 2 parts of that question and just leave the last 7 words.

    I feel like i played 10% part in reaching this conclusion. Or maybe it was just my influence.

    I might be wrong and I am dying from covid but is there not 760 games in a season. 38 x 20 teams.

    Of which we play 5% of the games?

    You are wrong. Covid has you. Each team plays in 38 games and you are right 38 x 20 is 760 however 2 teams play in one game hence 380 games

    We play in 38 of those games hence playing 10%

    Quite clearly wrong again, Klopp would have you believe Liverpool play 379 of those games

    Their influence may well be in 379 games

    Your quite right. 380 games.

    On that logic then we would take part in 38 games which would technically be 10% but we only influence half of each game so do we not influence 5% then?

    It's up for debate that last point. I'd argue you influence the entirety of the game you are playing, both teams.

    It's a bit like when you buy a house and can choose tenancy in common (whereby you each own a percentage of the house) or joint tenancy (whereby you each own all of the house).

    What about the referee. Has this already been accounted for?
