    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I agree. There was no point in Brexit unless you then control immigration and tailor net migration to the country’s needs and capacity. For whatever reason this hasn’t been done. Having said that maybe if the EU had heeded the warning of Brexit various member countries wouldn’t have needed to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not really though as it’s likely to mean Reforms vote increasing. People’s genuine concerns about uncontrolled immigration have been ignored for years (looking at various governments actions, not words). Countries across Europe have shifted to the right because of it. If Labour aren’t seen to...

    Sheff Utd Player Ratings

    Hes consistently been our best player all season but some just don’t (want to) see it. Sheaf became more effective as game went on but before that it was Eccles dictating play

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sheffield United Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Nov

    People expect him to do what bassette does but he’s not got the same acceleration/pace. Thought he put himself about a bit when he came on and was unlucky a couple of times

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sheffield United Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Nov

    The bizarre thing is this is the same group as last year so it’s got to be down to coaching/set up…as well as regular lapses on concentration ! Saying that we seem to get punished for every lapse. Id love to see goals to shots ratio for our opposition in recent weeks, especially at home, would...

    The Hamer applause at the corner

    The drummer needs to be going for the full game, it’s the heartbeat of the crowd. I thought he’d fucked off home against Derby as there was hardly a peep after they scored

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sheffield United Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Nov

    I’m not going to go back over previous pages as can imagine ! Played really well today, struggled to break them down second half but that’s because they just sat with everyone behind the ball. Got a point and deserved more against team top of the table…hit post, disallowed goal etc etc defence...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Club/king can’t really win. Quick appointment and ‘it’s a stitch up’, take too long ‘what are they fucking about at’ Hope the continued negativity/potential backlash from fans hasn’t delayed any appointment as the international break would’ve been ideal to get new manager in

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I haven’t got a major issue with what’s been done ie increasing taxes to pay for better public services. More the way, timing and messaging. If there’s an improvement in the next five years, as you say, all will be forgotten. If growth drops, productivity doesn’t improve people will have to pay...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Got things the wrong way round. Needed to focus on growth first, if successful then tax revenues rise anyway which may have mitigated some of the requirements to increase some taxes. Instead implemented tax rises first which are likely to suppress growth, especially employer NIC* Also as has...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Exactly. It’s bizarre the negativity on here. Saying that it’s been going on all season even when robins was here Agree with a lot of that but pretty sure during the forum they indicated Robins had final say over transfers with the comment that he’s the one who’s got to work with the new...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Weren’t Chelsea under a transfer embargo the first time as well and he still got them into champions league. From memory at Chelsea (first time) and Derby he worked with and improved/developed a lot of younger players which is what we want. As I’ve said before whether it’s a good fit or not...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Will check that out ! I think if you go via FT page on X you can read the article. That’s how i read it anyway

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    It was rejected at the election BSB. Harris and Walz are progressives and not only did they lose the presidential vote, they lost the popular vote, the senate and the house. As the FT article/mayer were saying the democrats have tried to move further left and it hasn’t gone well. The U.S. is a...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Can’t argue with some of your points but its still worth reading the FT article and listening to the Mayer monologue.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Agreed. I’ve said before that inflation is what’s seen plenty of incumbents voted out over the past 2-3 years. The next question is how has a country that ran a $1.75trn - $2trn pa federal deficit, whilst delivering outsized gdp growth (compared to most other countries) seen citizens get/feel...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Further to Bill Mayers assessment, this is probably the best article I’ve seen on the subject https://www.ft.com/content/73a1836d-0faa-4c84-b973-554e2ca3a227 There is a section of the left that just don’t get it or want to accept the reality, hence the Trump/Republican sweep These aren’t...
