    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You certainly won't be if you keep sticking a tenner on things that you can't be sure about. 😁 It's a reasonable bet, that said...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    And hence, would almost certainly not have worked. 🙂 If we want better services then we're going to need to pay for them. And you're not going to get growth by sticking your thumb in the eye of our biggest and nearest trading partner based on a total fiction (oven ready deal, oh dear). I...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Just to add, this isn't to imply that I'd have supported the war in Vietnam. It was good that Harold Wilson kept us out of that one, imho.

    Do you trust Rachel Reeves plans in relation to local government pensions?

    Personally, I wouldn't trust Reeves as far as I could spit a rat. A cosplay Thatcher, to my mind. As for the policy itself, I'm not sure, it doesn't sound entirely convincing, but I've not really read around on it yet in fairness...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    The bigger issue for Kim might be what happens when thousands of disenchanted, demoralised troops return, having seen what life is like outside a regime that is literally starving its own people to death. Even Russia probably looks good to those guys; it might cause some destabilisation at...

    Manchester Airport Incident

    It would be a two tier system if the Manchester airport incident was an organised riot. Was it? The reasons for pushing through the prosecutions on the rioters were quite clearly stated, whether you agree with them or not is moot. Other than that, where's your evidence that the Manchester...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    When's Lampard worked as a head coach anywhere?

    Manchester Airport Incident

    FFS, we're not still banging on about a two tier justice system are we? Do your own research. The average time it was taking for cases to get to court was 200 days or more back in 2023, and it's got significantly worse since then. There's a vast backlog in the courts and in the CPS case files...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Exactly this. If King wants to make a big thing about bringing in someone to fit in within the existing structures, and then hires Lampard, then he's having us on, frankly. As for 'get behind Frank if he joins', why bother? It's entirely likely he'll just be the first in a string of temporary...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This. Exactly this. If Labour just "steady the ship" and no more, then I think what we'll see in five years is the worst of the populist right playing the "it's time for a real change" card. Reform are already dragging the Tories that way in any case. I think this is pretty much what happened...

    Dean austin

    I'd be willing to support you mate, but only if we can sign a dual-position goalkeeper. I know it sounds radical, but I'm sure there's one out there. In my (dog shit Sunday League) experience every keeper I've ever played with, without exception, wants to play outfield in training (usually...

    I was thinking more of... "We're the Sweeney son, and we haven't had our dinner. Now get yer trousers on, you're nicked!"

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    I probably differ with you slightly there, Pete. If true, I think it's important that we get the reasons why Adi went, and it seemed to me his reason for getting rid of Robins was fairly clear. He couldn't get Adi and MR to reconcile, he didn't trust the coaching set-up that MR put in place...

    How awful is this...

    Ah, the laughing emoji, what a surprise. Do you really think you win the argument by just sitting there gurning? So, so weak. Bit of advice; think before posting obvious nonsense. At the moment you have to hide behind a laughing emoji every time you're called out. It's a bit embarrassing for...

    How awful is this...

    In what way, exactly? No need for snarky pointless bollocks, which I know is your preference, in what way? Do you think all Muslims are the same, for starters?

    Transfer Rumour Kenny Jackett incoming manager!

    Honestly, if the choice was between mad Kenny and a bloke who had one season of experience in the Championship (and even that within a structure that doesn't match DK's current set up), I'm not sure which way I would go. Actually, even then, no! 😁

    How awful is this...

    I haven't seen anyone who's scared to criticise this. The real problem is with the people on the right who think that Muslims all across the world, including in the U.K., believe and act in exactly the same way, and then use the most extreme examples to foment fear and hatred. It's both really...

    Robbing b***** stewards

    Sovereign rings, chest medallions, glass eyes, prosthetic limbs, trainers or shoes larger than size three, etc etc... Clearly a threat to public safety. 😁

    Robbing b***** stewards

    That last one would seem to be key for me, that's the one that relates to football fans. There's no mention of coins there, I don't think they could refuse access on the basis of coins if that latter link is their stated policy.
