One should never study work ethics by race. There was once a study to see why Asians in the USA From deprived backgrounds excelled others academically. Even though the results might have been a useful study, it is not a book to open.

So zero evidence, just your opinion.

Where’s your evidence?

Lot of British people with “mental health” issues who can’t work. Some just need to get over themselves, some have genuine issues.

It’s the woke left who have corrupted the immigration system either by ignorance or design or by advocating lunacy so they look good in front of their similarly sad friends. This City has a proud history of immigration. In modern history, first came the Irish, who helped build the city...

Declining birth rates is the driver for increased immigration. 1.4 births per couple means 14 children for every 20, say 33 year olds. extended: for every 20, 66 year olds there are 14, 33 year olds and approximately 10 babies. Back of envelope slide rule, 20 66 year olds leave workforce...

Great insight. Nuanced reply. Smart.

To be fair, he did like a beer and a curry with his staff during lockdown. Was that worse than Boris having a bit of birthday cake? Both as bad as each other? One was forced to resign. One should resign for the good of the nation...

Various heartlands? Let’s talk about the Coventry car industry - it’s poignant to this forum I suppose. Was it opposing immigration that destroyed that or Labour backed unions and the politics of envy and entitlement coupled with EU law restricting protectionist measures and allowing...

I can confirm that Nigel does like a pint, having partaken with him on several occasions. I’ve had several one on one convo’s with him and can say that the bloke is very clued up geopolitically, has a good grasp of economics, history, law, social diversity etc. To call him stupid or racist or a...

Don’t know if this has been answered elsewhere, but is he eligible to play for the USA? Haji needs to have a word with Pochettino.

Err…. No. I’m still Tory federation chairman up here, for my sins. Reform are taking the Conservative Party apart. The views espoused by the DT-R poster are widely held. I’m not going to comment either way other than that. I will say, there is a revolt against suppression of patriotism going...

Paterson must be up to fitness by now. At least you know he’s going to give 100% effort. Put him wide left and Haji through the middle.

Or… he’s on the books as an asset (what did we pay, £600k?) and he wants to shop window him? It’s either that or the stat team have deduced that he completes more passes (on the basis that he often calls CD’s back to either side of the goalposts and does a one-two) than BW. BW, for his faults...

Marosi, in my opinion, wasn’t quite the same player after his head was caved in. A bit more cautious. Different type of crisis, but goalkeepers need to be in a certain mental state to perform 100% In no way am I slating the bloke. I’d be the same - most of us would if we were honest. On a...

He made some standard saves but his distribution was at best, mixed. A few kicks straight into touch. Doesn’t read the game to spot the breakaway opportunities or see players in space for quick releases to create momentum. The decision making for their goal was frankly pathetic. Where as I don’t...

Interesting point that. Oggy was goalkeeping coach forever and a day and (look, we all love him to bits) but I’m struggling to recall a keeper he progressed. Kirkland maybe? Westwood came in as a good keeper and left the same level. Don’t know much about Aled Williams. Maybe Frank will get...

Seems a genuine nice and technically competent bloke who probably gives good advice and insight. That’s all well and good in getting results until the final 10 games of a season when sh*t gets real and urgency and passion drives performances. It’s telling that many of the bottom clubs fighting...

Yes, for all of Collins “better kicking accuracy” I still rate Wilson for being able to spot a run and bowl / throw to breakaway.

Some saying “Robins and Frank rate Collins higher” To be fair, Wilson got the nod until injury, that’s point 1. Point 2; Oggy (who I think knows more about goalkeeping than Frank, Robins and the entire SBT forum combined) seems to (listening to commentary) rate Wilson higher.
