    Surely they can give it a go now. Bowling doesn't look that dangerous and there's potentially a rain interrupted day tomorrow. They're in danger of not giving themselves enough time to bowl them out twice.

    Palace v Man Utd

    Could not agree with this more. You can easily get rid of diving in the game. Start at the top, every PL game reviewed and 5 match ban for a dive. Might sound extreme but they'd soon stop. Imagine Grealish having to explain to his manager he'll be out for 5 games because he tried to cheat...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    This might come as a shock but it seems the promised £30bn spending might not be quite what it seems. https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/14938

    Not sure much is being based on science tbh. The science seems to suggest the virus ideal conditions are cold and damp but we're opening ice rinks.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    8 miles from the council house, maybe they'll build us a new stadium!

    Would love to be able to go to games and gigs but I think I'll wait and see what the scientists say before getting too excited. Especially after Sir Patrick Vallance's comments yesterday on how the scientific advise has been repeatedly ignored by the government. Right as flu season is kicking...

    Telegraph Moving?

    Didn't realise they still had an office in Cov. Think they moved all the online staff to a centralised office in Birmingham a while back. How many staff do they have left that just cover the city, can't be many. Suspect they'll just move them to working from home. Canal basin seems to be...

    Palace v Man Utd

    They've completely lost sight of what it was for. People wanted the huge errors corrected, not spending 5 minutes to see if someone's toe is offside. For me you have someone in the video room flag up to the ref he needs to take a look and the ref has a quick look at the pitch side monitor. If...

    Cov v Rangers 25th July

    Yep, you get all their channels on that. Can stream it to your TV as well. Just need to make sure you select the right subscription as you'll never get hold of them on the phone! The Sky version comes with the online player bundled in, the others don't. People need to make sure they select the...

    Its noticeable that this innings seems really slow but in reality its a run rate that would have been a regular occurrence 15 years ago.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I dispair. Really don't know how we get back to a working model for politics in this country. Same thing with the Russia report, trying to push it onto Corbyn and the press comply and head off to doorstep him. No questions about Johnson or Cummings links to Russia and Russian funding, that's...

    Cov v Rangers 25th July

    It’s on TV so I’d imagine pretty much anywhere that normally shows games will have it on.

    Transfer Rumour Marcel Hilsner

    Yep. And then started arguing with people who pointed it out.

    After The Lockdown ?

    Obviously things are a bit different now with the current crisis but know a couple of people who have moved out there for work and they don't regret it in the slightest. Say they have a lower workload, better better and better of standard of living than here. One of them tried to get me to move...

    Cancel culture

    Stunning coincidence that the day after the government fail to get the person they hand picked to lead the Intelligence and Security Committee and oversee the Russia report we finally get a statement in parliament about Russian interference in the 2019 election. "The government has concluded...

    Transfer Rumour Marcel Hilsner

    Strange that none of those accounts that claim to have inside information have made any mention of this. Almost as if they just copy rumours from places like this.

    Transfer Rumour Marcel Hilsner

    Interesting that he says he was following the team in the second half of last season after he knew he might be coming here. Another sign that we are planning things out properly and not just grabbing whoever happens to be available.

    Cancel culture

    Be interesting to see what happens with the Labour antisemitism issue if the rumours swirling around at the moment are true. Rumour doing the rounds on social media is that Starmer is planning to issue a formal apology and settle the Panorama defamation case despite being advised by party...
