    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If they can't find anyone more competent than Reeves then we've got big problems.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not really buying into the idea that the ISA changes are a wealth tax. Pretty sure when most people refer to a wealth tax they're thinking of the 1% and billionaires, not regular workers trying to put a few quid away. Anyway, went hunting for some stats, not sure I'd be targeting people earing...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Sure we'll be told its all part of some brilliant plan to win the next election, that's normally what we get. Seems to be an increasing number of Westminster journalists reporting that questions are being asked of how tenable Reeves continuing in the role of chancellor is. Would not be at all...

    How did the plans ever get signed off as safe when there's not enough room for anything near a capacity crowd? They need to look at extending the concourse out, there's room to do it apart from the side I'm on which would be fucked as there's the hotel, exhibition hall etc behind it. Can't...

    This winds me up more than it should. I'm not the only one where I sit, which is in the West Stand, who has completely given up on trying to get anything at half time. You have to leave before the end of the half and then still miss the start of the second half. It shouldn't be that difficult...

    Thats obviously great news but slightly concerned they might decided to make do with Wilson until then and subsequently rush Dovin back.

    First music bought

    The start of an obsession with music. I don't even want to think how much I've spent on that obsession over the years.

    Lucy Letby

    Thanks mate, not much chance of him getting better. We're in a very slow cycle of basically waiting for him to die while he has zero quality of life. Now into year 4 of 3 months to live, 6 months max. Think the whole system is designed to make people give up. You wait months, if not years, for...

    Glastonbury 2025

    Its great news that there's not so little crime in this country there's time to investigate things like this. We're not far off arresting people for thought crimes.

    Who was Manager when you first started supporting Coventry City ?

    George and John for me. Started going in 86 so after that first season I had a few decades of things going downhill 😂

    Lucy Letby

    They close ranks over everything and make it impossible to get information. When my Dad went into hospital, which was peak covid, he went in with a no-resus order. As it was peak covid we couldn't visit but the first couple of days we spoke to him on the phone and then there was a sudden...

    Who was in goal the furst game you saw ?

    Oggy for me. Arsenal at home Aug 86. My memories are we won and there was only about 10K there. Unthinkable now that playing Arsenal in the top division would have a crowd like that.

    Can't get investment into UK businesses so they want people to stick there money in stocks & shares ISAs, which won't be part of the change, rather than savings ISAs. Of course if people wanted to do that they would do it already. Some people prefer to know their money is safe.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is going to be something else that goes down like a lead ballon. How long before the backbenchers are getting it in the ear from their constituents and pressuring for yet another u-turn. At this point I'm starting to wonder if Labours policy chief is a plant from the tories or reform...

    the guy was so chilled, it was nuts. you would not have been in the slightest bit surprised if it had popped up at the end that they'd discovered another 50 crimes.

    All-purpose tennis thread

    What a day for the Brits, our most successful day at Wimbledon ever. Huge win for Boulter, played some incredible tennis today. While Raducanu was playing there was shouting from the stands and the BBC said there was a 'disturbance', hope that's not related to her stalker. BBC have some...
