    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Poor quality people in senior government roles (Johnson, Bravermann etc) focussing solely on ‘illegal immigration’ taking eye off the ball intentionally or otherwise on visas* etc. No plan or strategy around the requirements and management of needs in the wider economy and public services. Also...

    How is Aled Williams employed?

    GKs and strikers need an arrogance to get over errors and misses, without that when things start going bad it’s hard to turn things around. Collins has got some good attributes to be a decent keeper but just didn’t seem to be able to get over mistakes, that lack of confidence then spreads to...

    The home office hasn’t been fit for purpose for 20+ years. In any other organisation there’d have been a massive clear out. Read this last week https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyl20gw4y2o.amp The culture across the board just sounds wrong to me and I get the impression the HO just does...

    Yeah, I’m with you, borderline early but I’d always err on the side of protecting the fighter. Parker was also in big trouble end of previous round and maybe saved by the bell. Think there was still a minute left of 11 when it was stopped Grear fight either way. What a fairytale for Wardley ...

    Watford Player Ratings

    Watford looked a bit of a kryptonite team for us and how we set up defensively; physical, power and a lot of pace. So chuffed we dug out a win today but agree with a couple of others we won’t always have clinical finishing/rushworths worldies to dig us out. need to tighten up a bit, especially...

    Watford Player Ratings

    One possible positional error for their goal although what Rushworth was doing out there im not sure and sloppy by BTA on touch line - not seen any deductions for them, but Kitching had a very good game otherwise. Also slipped Wright through for sending off with a great pass with his wrong foot...

    Spot on. Heard Oggy on way home saying first half was best he’d seen for a while (both teams) and have to agree. Great to watch

    Match Thread Coventry City - Watford FC Match Thread - Saturday 25th Oct

    Another good win. Clinical going forwards but we’ve been riding our luck at the back a bit lately so wasn’t surprised when they scored. Rushworth excellent though. Watford were the best attacking team I’ve seen against us this season….loose at the back but very dangerous going forward Torp...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That genuinely wasn’t a dig. It was an observation from my memory of the time. Anyway, lets see what the inquiry throws up….I imagine we’ll both end up disappointed!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Possibly. The NIC emp’er raise was a big mistake though and probably kept inflation a bit higher for longer (which also impacts borrowing costs). They need to be brave though, unless people see an improvement in public services before next election they’re fucked anyway

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Needs to happen though. Scrambling around down the back of the sofa isn’t working and there is no will in the party to address spending

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I share your frustrations but Johnson (eventually) and others rightly lost their jobs over the parties and ultimately the Tories lost the next election. Johnson/Hancock were the worst people we could ever have in charge in a pandemic but a lot of the peoples issues stem from the worldwide...

    Not what any opposition would want to see Saka and KKH coming off the bench when you’re knackered

    Been pretty even though. Never expected us to move seamlessly into a new formation.

    Spot on, it’s fuckin football. Also agree our more fair weather fans are entitled, always feels like the bigger the crowd the worse the atmosphere unless we score early. We’re there to support the team and hopefully help raise their game. Ill never forget hearing some boos when drawing at half...

    Blackburn Ratings

    Ability wise I agree about Torp being more suited to a 10 out of available players but feels like Lampard wanted Eccles and BTA up there for the high press as much as anything. BTA keeps providing me wrong as I’d have had him off the pitch for Allen before he scored to give us more...
