    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    And why would Reform/Farage solve these? Look at what he stands for. He wants money to go to the rich, so expect large cuts in tax which will only make things like ambulance services worse. He has talked about having a more American, insurance based healthcare system so if you want an ambulance...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Farage, not the typical career politician, who entered politics *checks notes* in 1994 when he stood in a by election. So over 30 years in politics, but that's not a career apparently. He doesn't speak common sense - he peddles easy answers. He did that with Brexit and it didn't solve the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The majority of the country isn't racist, but in their desperation they're not particularly intelligent and easily led. Nothing of Reform's policies, past or present, suggest anything will get any better and will likely get a lot worse. As for Farage, who supposedly has these answers, the one...

    Cheap beer from 10.30am against a local rival. What could possibly go wrong?

    Live and die in these towns

    I'd have expected it to be Dundee Utd as you can fit Tangerines in easily.

    Ryder Cup 2025

    In the past US crowds have been known to be unsporting to the Europeans when taking shots etc. In the current climate under Trump I expect that to happen quite a bit. Hope I'm wrong.

    But how can you punish a player's action in a game that didn't happen?

    Next piece of evidence in 'Trump is a fascist' Signing a deal to bring TikTok under US control and 'quipping' he'd make the algorithm "100% MAGA". And of course the fact he's using almost endless executive orders so he can avoid having to pass anything through government. Also, can we just...

    Immigration and Asylum

    I mean, surely it should be a thing that someone working as a government official isn't allowed to hide their face? If there's one surefire way that you think what you're doing is wrong it's hiding your face.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    But if you're leading in a game with a short amount of time to go and the opposition are down to ten men is it the fairest? I'd say it'd be fairer to play the remaining time and the opposition be a player down. Ideally they should have to play the same players, but obviously teams will claim...

    You do if it's Iceland.

    Jaguar!

    And you'd would like UK workers to be treated the same as Chinese workers just so it could be produced here would you?

    Expected Goals table

    Thought I'd start having a quick look at our xG/xGA 'results' to see how we'd be doing in comparison to reality. A bit surprising in places. Hull D 0 - 0 (0.87 - 0.45) Derby W 3 - 1 (3.26 - 1.48) QPR D 1 - 1 (1.11 - 0.64) Oxford L 1 - 2 (1.12 - 1.65) Norwich W 4 - 0 (4.02 - 0.15) Leicester L 0...

    EMC - The new Sheaf?

    Well it kind of depends. Some of the wages some teams will pay for these young players are ridiculous - they can be earning as much as first teamers at a Championship club. So if they can earn more at a top club than they would do at one lower down (especially given the fickle and uncertain...

    Cov city centre

    The retail and business parks I can sort of understand at the time. We had a number of large industrial sites that lay empty and a real need to increase the number of job opportunities in the city after the closure of a number of large employers, especially in the motor industry. The country...

    EMC - The new Sheaf?

    They were PL and recent PL champions with top class facilities. We were in L1/2 and didn't even have a stadium to play in let alone a decent training ground.

    Cov city centre

    I guess it's to do with making a business case for it. And we have had far too many streets where the street level has no frontages. That part of Corp St for example has a wall for IKEA on one side and a car park on the other. Hardly a great streetscape. Whether of course it'll be a success is...
