    General TV Thread

    I really, really wish Attenborough would make a series on humans, but treating it like any other nature documentary. Make people realise we're not that exceptional and most of our behaviours are actually almost identical to those of the natural world. "Here, in the wilds of Coventry city...

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    He may be capable enough there, but he may well excel somewhere else. But we never find out because he's competent somewhere else so we keep him there. Dion was a good centre back when he played there. Would've been a travesty had he played his entire career there though and the waste of a very...

    Social media is creating and enabling hate, fear and violence

    I guess the encouraging thing I've seen recently is more people saying they're spending less time on it or deleting it altogether, so it could end up becoming less influential. However, I can't say if that's true across the generations as my information will invariably be from a small group who...

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    I agree. His versatility could be his undoing as it might get him in the team but not showcasing his real abilities. Like Osbourne. Played quite a lot of games for us but almost all of them out of position at RB which didn't suit him very well. I always felt he deserved the chance to be the ball...

    Social media is creating and enabling hate, fear and violence

    It does go beyond that but Trump is also a very good example of the effect of social media and also the way it's increasing being used. He uses it extensively and primarily to create division and animosity and with the kind of influence and scope he has it leads others to use it in a similar...

    Match Thread MK Dons (Away)

    Would definitely use this as a final friendly to get the first team up to speed, with the caveat of leaving out anyone with even a slight knock just in case, which could well include Marosi and Kelly. Marosi* Hyam Fadz Drysdale Pask Kelly* Hamer Mason O'Hare Allen Godden Wilson*...

    Wasn't N'Gandu playing U18's when he was 14 or something?

    Social media is creating and enabling hate, fear and violence

    The responses of a few who are probably massively anti-Trump are definitely increasing the chance of his re-election. Rioting, looting and damaging property is just playing into his hands at it supports his 'law and order' message. Trump calling out the lawlessness of these people while...

    England is fast becoming a shit hole

    Thing is those it's people of around our age whose kids are now the ones in the system. There is also a thing that things like smart systems are also having an effect because talking to a machine has eroded manners. You don't need to say please and thank you to Alexa, you just demand and it...

    England is fast becoming a shit hole

    I especially agree with the last sentence. Decent kids suffer an don't achieve as much as they could because the time is spent disproportionately dealing with those that are disruptive. It's always been a problem, esp with Tories, that their experience of education is often very different to...

    Somewhat ironic that we actually need a RB/RWB right now too.

    Match Thread Southampton friendly Tuesday

    It could be MR is looking at them again just to make a final decision I guess. One half each? Unless Kasta has done a Giles and made an impression with one run and cross ;)

    Fact he's playing this game which is largely reserves/U23 and a few coming back from injury/just joined would suggest he won't.

    Match Thread Southampton friendly Tuesday

    if Osti is on international duty little bit surprised to see Pask in. Would've thought he'd be a definite for MK in the circumstances and not like he hasn't featured in pre-season. All the other potential first team you could understand getting minutes after slight injuries (Marosi, Kelly) or...

    Match Thread Southampton friendly Tuesday

    At first thought it might be Eccles/Kelly DCM and Hilssner/Lafferty ACM with a back four but with two strikers on it'd be a very narrow 4-2-2-2 so Eccles must be extra CB.

    Would 1 more promotion sort the club out completely?

    You'd think it should, at least short term. Should provide enough for a new stadium too. But as with all levels the extra income is soon taken by agents getting inflated wages for players. As fast as it comes it it goes out again. So it could sort our problems out short term assuming we don't...

    The Walsh Talk

    No way would we be getting Sheaf AND Walsh. It'd be one or the other. They play in the same position and we've got Hamer and Kelly there already.

    England is fast becoming a shit hole

    Teenage pregnancy rates are at the lowest they've been in ages and are still falling. American's do litter, esp in the big cities. But they do have more people going around picking up litter than we do. If you want to make neighbourhoods great again you need to reduce the amount of houses bought...
