    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Slight aside... is it just me, or has Simms slimmed down a bit? For clarity I'm not saying he was ever overweight, but watching on the telly the other night I thought he looked a bit lighter. Probably it's just the horizontal hold on the TV is broken...

    What would our survival odds be if we went up?

    If my career could be over in an instant, then I'm pretty sure I'd take the money when I got a chance. I know where you're coming from, but from a financial point of view the gamble has already paid off.

    Death List 2024

    You're never more than a few miles from a canal if you're in the Midlands, HH. It's just sticking to the 4mph limit that's a bit tricky. 😁 Favourite Bullseye phrase, "Ooh, look what you could've won." Terrific telly though. Quality 80s outfits, barnets, and moustaches. Some genuinely tough...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Indeed, though if I spotted him on my flight I might hop off and wait for the next one. 😄

    We miss you Fadz

    Yeah, that's a very fair point. It does feel like we're missing a bit of physicality in the team though. I thought Thomas might be the answer to that, but I'm not quite so sure now...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    As above, trivial point but cope isn't a noun. Unless you're street. Bruv. 😁

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    In fairness, they're intensely libertarian when it comes to them and their rich donors. It's just the rest of us that they like to keep in order.

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 1st Mar

    Easy to overreact, but it just feels like Simms is so hot and cold it's ridiculous. It doesn't help that he still doesn't seem to have any kind of partnership with Wright. It's obviously unfair to put it all on one player, no one really covered themselves in glory, but boy it's frustrating...

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 1st Mar

    Just not enough spark (or spite) in the side at the moment. I know we can play beautiful football, but we need to start getting a foot in and rattling them a bit too. Tempo is also far too low, West Brom are cruising this...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm all for free speech, but anyone who claims election interference needs to suffer some sort of legal consequence if they're shown to be just making it up. This is a dangerous road to go down, and like Trump, will be used to justify all kinds of horrendous statements and behaviour.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    No doubt Galloway's an unpleasant arsehole, but if we're serious about influencing Israeli government policy, an economic, academic, and sporting boycott is probably the only lever available to us. Criticism of the Israeli state should not be allowed to be conflated with anti-Semitism, and nor...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    A braver politician might see that and go for it, but Sunak is a coward to his very core. Like Johnson, and I suspect many in the Tory party, Sunak has no real beliefs behind his politics, it's just a vehicle for his own personal quest for power and glory. (What worries me is the thought that...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    You have my full sympathy mate. Fwiw, and especially given the state of English rugby at the moment, I can't see anyone serious investing in this. It's dreamers and chancers, just like the last time, gulling the naïve and the corrupt in the local council. Just like the last time. It'll probably...

    Sky Blue Song

    That's a great call-and-response tune. I'll just make the observation that Cal-lum-O-Hare scans quite nicely into the first line of it, and leave you to make up the rest. All I request is a songwriting credit (and 50% of the net profits before tax). 😁

    Sky Blue Song

    Sacrilege! We can't drop "our" song. If you can't hit the high notes, just shout that bit - it's not an audition, it's passion!

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    "How likely would you be to subscribe to a TV channel if Wasps were available to watch?" Good Lord. As to wanting to play in a division that shares their values, they haven't got any bloody values, so that will be tricky. As for sustainable, that's for the birds too. If they want a...

    Six nations 2024.

    In fairness, Scotland as a whole looked like they had a vague idea of what to with the ball when they were attacking... Watching England isn't as much fun as it used to be!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    As for toys out of the pram and fussing about semantics - for Christ's sake, it was Labour who ran flapping to the speaker whining about it all, not the SNP. Edit: Before SNP's opposition day motion, obviously. Again, simple question, if Labour were so keen on a ceasefire, why didn't they post...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    And a total reversal of logic again. If all parties wanted a ceasefire, why not simply vote for the SNP motion as proposed? Funny how no one who says the SNP are playing politics seems to be able to answer that very simple question.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You're supporting the side that were up in arms mate, it was Labour who couldn't get their arse in gear behind a ceasefire declaration. That's a matter of inconvenient fact I'm afraid. If it's not a big deal, as you keep saying, why not just support the SNP motion or allow a free vote on it...
