While this makes sense the ethos of the training and development must also be similar to that of the first team. After all you're putting them through a scholarship so the club can benefit from their development long term in the team and/or being sold on. No point in developing cloggers if the...

Well we're not - we're talking about hosting a panel show on TV. Besides which as the football expert on the culture committee try a 15 year footballing career and 140 England caps. And if you want to talk about qualifications for roles in government - what qualifications do most politicians...

Don't the club want Billson to stay because the main area they think he needs work is on playing with his feet and they can't control that if he's elsewhere?

Good point. But the upward trend is still worrying and I fear we'll sleepwalk into another situation whereby people start needing hospitalising as it spreads into the more vulnerable areas, plus as we go into flu season the effect of possibly having two bad respiratory diseases at once, the...

So you're going to John Hancock it?

Same rhetoric as was about for the first lockdown (once they'd dropped the herd immunity nonsense (publically at least)) but we failed to do any of it. It looks like we're going to fail again and are about to make all the same mistakes we did first time round. I'm still clinging to the hope...

Maybe they should incorporate goalline technology to see if the head has crossed the line. Nick probably wants his kids to be born quickly in the breech position - get a two-footer in early doors

Labour usually takes hours - drop her off at the hospital then find the nearest TV. ;)

We've had the same with female officials, female commentators etc as if the rules of a game are too hard for the pretty little lady to understand. Same as women couldn't be trusted to vote because putting a cross in a box was beyond their comprehension, but when it comes to keeping small...

I seem to remember there was (and specifically my nan was outraged a woman was presenting - you should have seen her when Suzi Perry was hosting the WSB/MotoGP/F1). But to be fair Barker was pretty shit at the start IMO and still isn't a 'natural' - she's just become more at ease over the years...

They've resurrected the idea of the reverse grids (which I'd prefer to the quali set up they currently have) but I can understand the opposition to it because if you've got slower cars and less able drivers at the front it could be dangerous in terms of the likelihood of accidents (but a much...

Trouble is they'll do that, there will be an infection so teams won't be able to play and games will be postponed. So still no income but now got to cover losses from all the associated cost and infrastructure set in place for the games to take place. And I imagine insurers aren't big on giving...

I agree that it being a surprise mystifies me but the reasoning is partly owners who want the prestige and kudos of sending a team up the leagues (we could argue Derrick Robbins did a similar thing with us under Jimmy) but it's also a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't scenario. If one person...

I think you've got a story there about sexual harassment. Senior figure using their position to make inappropriate comments...

Do you reckon she'd present it in her 'alterback?

Nah, to keep the scoring integrity Priti Patel is the fill in. I swear they already do the QI scoring.

But that entire generation are all in the same boat, so you're hardly fucking up their life chances. It's not killing the economy, it's proving we have an economy that's extremely fragile and not robust enough to cope with change. It somebody had the balls to use this as the catalyst for change...

That's the thing. They talk tough about reintroducing measures if cases get high again, then when they do redefine what high is. Always seems to be a number just above what the current rate is...

having to give an apology is hardly a big disincentive to try and get away with it. It should be a fine and a mark against your name. Three marks and it's an instant by-election and they can't stand in it.

It's inevitable. Now there's virtually no-one left that can be wheeled out to talk about what it was like to live through and it's all archive footage it's not hitting home like it once did. Or parents/grandparents to give that realism and relatability. Far-right has been on the rise for a few...
