    It’ll only be a 30 pointer if it’s midweek. Perhaps the MR derby interests the TV channels (probably not).

    Mark Robins Derby it is… underwhelming to be honest and both teams will probably focus on the league

    View from an Ipswich supporter

    15-17 at full strength, it’s not really tenable having 4-5 defenders on the bench week in, week out. Jan will see players come through the door, I’m sure of it. Even if December is a difficult month, we’ll regroup and get back at it.

    World Cup 2026

    My provisional plan looks like that atm. However, my mate and I have looked into hiring a camper van (about $4k) but to fit in 27 hours of driving from Dallas to Boston seems impractical. The route would’ve been really cool actually. How would you fit approx 5 hrs of driving per day and tourism...

    World Cup 2026

    In fairness, the Aztecs were also conquerors barely a century before the conquistadors and they helped the Spanish maintain control of their empire in the New World. I’m trying to plan what I want to do in the US. Leaning towards the Group games rather than the knock outs purely because if we...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Employers already do offer PHI, my current role has PHI and my next role does. My view point is to incentivise PHI by scrapping VAT on it and to give tax breaks to businesses, self-employed and individuals who get PHI. The idea is twofold; expand the private sector and get less people relying...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Look at how France manage it. It's capped at a low level so it's not exclusionary but equally, stops overconsumption of services. Continually bringing up the boogeyman of US style, purely privatised healthcare is genuine barrier to reform and risks the long term future of the NHS imo. For...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's pretty normal in social insurance based systems (e.g. France/Germany) to have symbolic charges in place. Like most things that are completely FOC, people take the piss. It's like the whole £10 'no show' fee the Tories tried to introduce, if you just charged that for a GP appointment, who...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    lol - even though the budgets were never actually cut. 'The Left' blames everything on 'austerity' when in reality its been an exercise to reduce the rate public expenditure was increasing. The bigger issue is that public bodies are spending money like drunk sailors and there's usually v little...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We really ought to establish charges for GP, A&E and even overnight stays in hospitals. Prescription charges were introduced because demand was too high and people would get medicines they didn't need e.g. paracetamol. A Government serious about 'fixing' healthcare provision in the UK needs to...

    Rivals for auto spots

    There's always a first time. Before we beat Boro in the playoffs, we hadn't won their since 1993 and now we've won the last 4 away there. Throughout the noughties and 2010s, we were dross so we've stacked a fair few boogie teams and stadiums over those years!

    Rivals for auto spots

    They've got a tough run themselves; Birmingham, Hull, Boro, Sheff U and ourselves all to play by Jan 21st. Oxford away is potential banana skin for them on Boxing Day. Southampton's run has been good, but in context, they lost their most difficult fixture v Millwall. Beating QPR, Sheff W...
