    What was your own worst footballing performance and why?

    I once scored an OG from inside the opposition half, though I do blame the GK for it as he ran out, air-kicked it and fell on his arse before the ball trickled into the corner.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Post Cold War there was a massive improvement in relations with Russia. The reason that ended was Putin.

    I know it is. That's why I put it as the alternative.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well at least we've proved conclusively that right wing economic policy of cuts is a busted flush. Both the Tories and Labour have had a crack at it with pretty similar results so I think we can safely say that the issue is with the policy rather than those implementing it. Not that the country...

    Summer Transfer Window

    Our defence is letting in poor goals in the Championship. What on earth do you think would happen to them in the PL? As much as I like Thomas and Kitching they aren't PL quality.

    Undoubtedly, though they are very quick to denounce media or block users that post stuff against them, so if they were on here they'd probably report it. However, they're not posting on here, but you are and the replies are aimed at you. So it seems like you're the one getting wound up on their...

    Matchday Rewind Aston Villa 1 - 0 Coventry City | Sat, 25 Aug, 1984

    Is incredible how often it seems to pick defeats though! I half expect it to pick "On This Day" and choose when we went into admin! Is it really needed? Isn't there enough traffic without some automated bot trying to get people to reply?

    You end up spending that and more later on anyway just to paper over the cracks because you let things get into such a state not funding it in the first place, as you pointed out re: the NHS. So what do you think the cost will be to get it up to scratch in another 10-20 years time when we...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'd love it if we started paying people properly. But we won't because businesses will always look for the cheapest labour to increase shareholder return. Doesn't matter where those people come from, or the costs to society that will ultimately end up costing them as well, because they aren't...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well it's not, because it's about purchasing power. If you get more money but can buy less than you used to with it then it's effectively a cut. I assume therefore that during the period of inflation over 10% if you'd been offered a 1-2% pay rise you'd have been happy, because you'd have still...

    Did Howley play? Pretty sure he wasn't on the team sheet - first XI or subs.

    Of course it affects their ability to provide services as there's more people to provide services for. Therefore you need to expand those services in order to do so. How do you do that? Money.

    So just proves that as a country we're historically undertaxed.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Just because there could be improvements made in the efficiency of delivery of public services doesn't mean they aren't also chronically underfunded. They are. Just as many on the right think we're overtaxed, I would say that given the examples of other countries in comparison to QoL we are...

    No, but it presents a risk to fans leaving the stadium so has to be considered.
