    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Corrrr you’ll be really annoyed when you realise someone logged into your account to talk about their dismay of the lack of conviction politicians.

    I once had a chicken tikka Biamou bhuna from his takeaway.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Sep

    Bit like how Ipswich have spent £25m to basically put West Brom’s defence together.

    Not least when they seem to be trying to emulate them!

    I have a feeling that Eccles will play in the 10.

    No fun allowed in here I’m afraid.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I heard the other day that they’re not signatories of the ICC so don’t recognise its legitimacy. Which seems bonkers considering their role in the world.

    And that’s setting aside that Uber drivers are without doubt the worst drivers on the road.

    Expected Goals table

    You can’t really use it in isolated game situations IMO. Much better to look at the overall xG difference to judge whether a side is creating lots of chances or conceding lots of chances.

    Die Happy Moment - Cov Edition

    Said before, introduce an ‘umpires call’ equivalent. Stop pretending the tech is infallible and revert to the on-field decision when it’s marginal. Obviously you’d then have to define ‘marginal’.

    Immigration and Asylum

    Regardless of the fact that’s not really linked to anything, the answer is not to kick everyone out, whether here legitimately or not, it’s to police it properly!

    Aled Williams & John Dempster

    It’s not entirely related but here’s a quote I found on why teams don’t have players on posts any more, which kind of covers the same aspect.

    Aled Williams & John Dempster

    There’s clearly a bank of data suggesting that having everyone back for corners reduces the chance of conceding, but that almost becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as all teams do it so your data pool for other approaches shrinks.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    My gut feel is that after 75 minutes the result should stand, but only in instances where the abandonment is due to conditions. If it were protests, etc then you either replay or it’s forfeited.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Blackpool v Huddersfield. Granted the score was 0-0 at the time but there was never a replay of it.

    Aled Williams & John Dempster

    Also the fact they seem to be responsible for set pieces which haven’t exactly gone to plan for a while.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    2 reasons: - Haji can play that left-sided role as effectively as EMC in my opinion. - It would have given us a genuine chance at a succession plan. I just feel Kone was underpriced when you compare to the type of winger we’d be paying out for. RW and ST would have been my ideal.

    Judging the Frank Lampard change

    Performances clearly light years ahead of our start last season. I said after the Cardiff game (Lampard’s first) that I thought this is the style he wanted. Squad a little thin to be playing high-pressing football consistently though so there is a risk it drops off.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Fair point, I’ll ring MI6 and let them know.
