    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    In fairness, the British people have never gone to the polls to elect a Prime Minister, as the position of PM is an appointed position by the Monarch. The PM must keep the confidence of the House of Commons, as per the constitutional principle set down within the Bill of Rights 1689, Parliament...

    The only thing I know is, don't look at it for too long. Feel dizzy as hell now!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, she also tried to influence judges in her, then, husband's court case for sexually assaulting two women. It's ironic that the upholding the "Rule of Law" is a constitutional principle of the UK (albeit the UK does not a constitution contained to a single document), that MPs can act, for...

    24/25 is THE year

    Completely agree with this. Last summer we practically needed to build a fresh 11, this season we're supplementing the squad with quality and depth, with just a few bodies who may go straight in. Feels like Gyokeres leaving Sporting early in the window would be crucial to fund the new signings...

    Things that annoy you

    Yeah, apparently it's to aid in recycling, as the lid needs to stay together with the rest of the bottle. Definitely not good at the football, though, as they rip them off leaving a bit of plastic that you need to navigate when drinking to ensure it doesn't gouge into your face!

    Things that annoy you

    In the last 440 pages, someone may have already said this, or I hate the matchday experience more than others, but people who congregate right in the middle of the concourse at the end of the game. I understand people meeting up, but please do so in the 400 miles squared worth of space at the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    So, instead of taking my quote that "NATO has an open-door policy to membership" as a win, as technically that could fit your agenda that NATO is "courting" Ukraine, even though I don't think it is, you just elect to say how you will rub it in my face if, and that is a pretty big IF, Russia...

    Player stats 23/24

    I think a helpful comparison after attempted passes would be the amount of progressive/forward passes, as this would give a better representation, as forward passes are obviously much more likely to be intercepted than sideways or backwards passes.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Ukraine's independence was ratified by a Referendum and agreed to by Yeltsin in 91. The facts are, NATO has always maintained it has an "open door" policy to membership, and, if we are including "facts", Russia has done nothing but destabilise a separate sovereign nation since 2014. If you don't...

    Hull sack Rosenior

    This does have a Eustace at Birmingham City vibe to it. He seemed to be a good young manager learning, and this seems a bit knee-jerk to not getting into the playoffs, but if he did agree to the terms, my sympathy will diminish. I like how we seem to be a really stable club, with a manager with...

    End of season release list

    I mentioned to a "mate" of mine, I swear only once, when Bayliss was playing for Coventry City, loving how easily he seemed to glide past players. That Christmas, we did a "Secret Santa" at work and met up at a pub after work, and I can only presume my friend got me, as I opened my present and...

    Liam Kitching

    I think he'll end up a very good acquisition. For the red cards, Norwich and Blackburn away looked pretty nailed on red cards, as last man (although Blackburn away I originally thought Thomas could come over to cover but on second glance I don't think he could have), and Sheffield Wednesday at...

    Callum O'Hare

    I think the manner in which players leave a club is the most important, and I think COH will be leaving graciously and with respect. You can't blame him for wanting to further his career, and that is what I think he will do. He doesn't owe us anything, and neither do we to him. Offering him a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm presuming this is a parody of some sort, but if not, the Electoral Commission's findings stretches over multiple years. The legislation requiring ID when voting, The Voter Identification Regulation 2022, only came into effect in 2023, and this is the first major nationwide election since its...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's a bizarre law. The Electoral Commission has stated there was around 1,500 suspected cases of electoral fraud in the last four/five years, and only a small proportion leading to convictions. When taken into context the amount of votes, and the importance of voting, even if all 1,500 was...
