    Champions League 24/25

    Arteta reckons "100%, Arsenal are the best team in this competition" AFTER they have been dumped out 3-1! He clearly hasn't watched any of the other games! Twat!

    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    Bristol City are a nicer club and set of fans than the Blades, who i despise with a passion! I would prefer them in the Final, as i think we have a better chance of beating them and would mind less if we didn't.

    Womens football

    I doubt that the figure is as low as that. We have some very good friends who are parents to a trans-woman. She plays football for her University's women's team, and i understand she is not the only trans-woman in the side. I assume it is a generational thing (i hesitate to use the term "fad")...

    ... until and unless that court's decision is appealed to a higher court (including the Supreme Court). However, it would be a brave judge in a minor court who contradicted the rule of the Supreme Court, and an idiot prosecutor or defence barrister who didn't capitalise on the ruling. The...

    Sunderland AFC

    I think the jury will need to still be out on that, until he goes totally OTT when they next beat a bang average side (not us, by the way) and proclaims them European Champions! That will flag him as a potential honorary SBA member!

    Along the lines of "Leavitt OUT"??

    Things that annoy you

    I remember a Jack Dee joke on those lines from a few years ago (when comedy was funny) ... At the till, with a full trolley, i saw the woman behind me with a basket with three items in. I asked her if that's all she had, and she said "Yes". I said "Well you might as well piss off and find...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    With 4 councils to finally declare, Labour have lost two-thirds of their councillors (down by 168 to 82). They haven't lost any because they lost most of them in 2021. They lost Durham to NOC in 2021, but were still by far the biggest group. They are now down to 4 councillors.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Labour losing seats hand over fist to Reform almost as much as the Tories are in county councils. Lost 30 seats in Durham, FFS! Durham, Derbyshire and Staffs all now Reform. There are going to be some bloody grim times ahead - not simply because their politics are diametrically opposed to...

    Things that annoy you

    Key point being "good bar staff". A rarity these days. Can't pull a decent pint, EPoS tills mean they don't need to know the price of anything, so can't add two drinks up in their head, and give them a tenner for two drinks costing £7.24 and they can't work out for themselves what the change...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Tories have won the pointless additional layer of local government known as the mayors in Cambs/Peterborough (don't know why they need to distinguish, as although P'boro is a unitary authority, it's IN F*CKING CAMBRIDGESHIRE). Won from Labour who finished third behind Reform. F*cking inbred Tory...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Point taken, but surely the size of the Labour landslide last July is an indication that people wanted a Labour government.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The Conservatives won more council seats and control of councils than ever before in 2021, even after 11 years in power. The degree of swing away from a government in a by-election 10 months into a new parliament is, i understand, unprecedented. Reform campaigned on a "Stop the Boats" agenda...

    Things that annoy you

    Absolute pet hate of mine! Traffic light management is now affected by a hideous combination complete lack of understanding of risk by the highway authority and sheer laziness by the contractors doing the work, in not clearing the lights away at the end of the day.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Those will be the settlers who have been in contravention of UN Security Council resolutions since 1967 and the Geneva Convention, will they? Not for me, i'm afraid.

    Brad Collins Poll

    By comparison, if Bristol City ever release Max O'Leary, we should splash the cash. Watch his performance against Leeds last night. Not at fault for any of the 4 goals they conceded. It would have been 10-0 if not for him. Masterclass!
