    Match Thread Queens Park Rangers - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 22nd Oct

    In fairness to MVE, he's up against a pretty good player in Saito.... Buggery. Where did that goal come from?

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    You don't get accepted into the football league, do you, let alone the second tier, just on the basis of your name.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Because that was the RFU's own rules... See London Scottish (now back in the Championship).

    The Joys of getting Older

    Maybe one of those F1style detachable ones, mate? 🙂 I used to have an MG Midget, and loved it. Not so long back, I pondered an MX-5, then I had a go in one and thought "blimey, this is really uncomfortable!". That and the fact I suspect I'd end up getting out of it by crawling on my hands...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    You've got to think that if Trump wins, Putin wins, and Ukraine falls. Moldova will probably be next. Israel gets free rein in Palestine with all of the horrors that entails. China might fancy a crack at Taiwan too, if it sees America retreating from the world. Domestically, and in Europe...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Can you really see Trump going quietly, once elected? He'd rather have a civil war than lose power. His support base doesn't care in the slightest that he's a rambling lunatic; there was literally one of his ground troops, a lady, on R4 just now. When the rambling, the forty minute swaying to...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Trump's already a puppet, there's no need to replace him, nor would his arrogance allow it, surely. He'd rather have a coup than leave the White House, we've seen that already...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Yep, and despite all of this, there's still a very good chance that he'll win, looking at the latest polls anyway. Proof, as if it were needed, that bullshit baffles brains. You've literally got blacks and Latinos voting for a racist, women voting for a misogynist who wants to take away their...

    Robins on CWR

    How many unsuccessful managers would we have to cycle through to find a successful one, is the question I'd ask here. The idea that swapping out a struggling manager for a new one, somehow magically resolves all your problems, simply isn't borne out by evidence. We've seen that both at this...

    Match Thread Preston vs. Coventry City - Match Thread - Sat 19th Oct

    Not enough fight in the team. No tempo. We have twenty minutes of turning their defence around after half time, get them flapping, and then stop doing it. Immensely frustrating.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Read the article and look at the concerns that the charities directly involved in mental health have. Note also the distinct lack of evidence; where are the studies quoted, for example. And then join the dots with regard to Labour's approach to welfare, now and in its recent history, and ask...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm sharing this again, because it's ominous. Anyone who's had any recent experience of mental health provision in this country will know it's on its knees. Instead of pressuring seriously ill people (and trust me, if you've been admitted into a hospital with a mental health issue these days...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Yes mate, on this, you clearly are.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Putin did it to overthrow a democratically elected European government that wouldn't bend to his wishes, and because he thought it would be over in a couple of days. It wasn't over in a couple of days because the vast majority of Ukrainians were willing to fight to preserve their freedom. You...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Southgate mark 2, except less media friendly. I liked Carsley as a player, and I'm sure he's an entirely decent bloke, but he's no more attack minded than Southgate was, and any decent team will embarrass us if we just sit on the ball and wait for things to happen. It's just tedious in the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Fuck me, there's plenty more mate, it's just I'm a bit busy! 😁 It's funny though, how a bloke you lauded for "political hygiene" is actually so sodding useless at it. Let's be honest eh, turns out he's a bit of a grifting, lying, incompetent twat, who doesn't think well on his feet - he's not...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm not sure about lying exactly, but it's definitely a lack of precision which is a little surprising in a barrister. His uncle's ship was either bombed or struck by missiles. It's a minor point really, but it's got a hint of the "dad was a toolmaker" vibe about it - over leveraging a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Possibly, although I don't think she's got a filter. That impulsive nastiness within her, and let's be honest she's an odious person, might be more exposed as leader of the party.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Exactly that. BadEnoch would just complete the seeming capture of the Tory party by the right-wing culture war loons. I suspect a rebellion would play out in fairly short order from the slightly more sensible MPs, but who really knows. Capture from the right of a party and brooking no...
