Andrew Neil is just about the finest political broadcaster we have. Just my opinion like. Fine, won't indulge in the 6th form politics. Your pathological dislike for the man renders you incapable of reasoned discussion it seems. Of course much of this will happen; policy is set, budgets are...

Of course. Heavy fist-fulls of salt following any budget. The devil is always in the detail regardless of the colour of government. There are some welcome measures though. I am a big fan of the way this government continue to raise tax thresholds for low earners - income tax and now NI. The...

You're just regurgitating Andrew Neil's recent monologue. It's all very well criticising his record (justifiably in some cases), but you cannot equally ignore his successes, of which there were a few, the fact he won two elections in left-leaning London comfortably suggests he was not nearly as...

They just won an election on the back of a manifesto that pledged to increase public spending and borrowing, which is exactly what they have just done. The level of that increase is a point of debate. Some saying it is reckless and too much, others (like you) saying it is not enough. It can't...

I can see why you call hypocrisy. Boris has always been a champion of investment in infrastructure. As soon as Javid went, you knew they'd splash the cash in this budget. Bit of a kick-back already from some on the right and talk of magic money trees. I think it is needed and welcome.

After 34 games last season, Sunderland's record was W18 D14 L2, so 1 point better off than us and a very similar record. To think they ended up 5th from that position. Not saying this will happen to us, but it does illustrate how a team pretty much unbeatable for most of the season can suddenly...

I worry about this game. Think it will be quite flat in the ground compared to Rotherham and Sunderland. Also, ticket sales look really poor in the circumstances, a few days to go though so hope they pick up. They'll be an air of expectancy in the ground, which is natural when you're top of the...

The UK is relatively unaffected at the moment, relatively. We're only at 4.7 cases per 1 million population, compared to Italy at 122, Spain 22 and Germany and France in the high teens. The daily increase in cases also doesn't seem to be accelerating in the way it is in other countries...

Picked up my full quota of 16 this morning. They should go quite quick.

Like the way the CT have run an article showing an image of one of their other proposed hotels in a completely different location. Always on the ball that mob.

I would have thought so. Objections based on the design might not be considered material, but regardless if they were to receive a series of objections on that basis, I believe it will force the decision to committee anyway. Equally, there could be an objection on the loss of parking...

Doesn't it. For a highly visible location in a gateway location (the busiest route into the city), we should be expecting better. The surrounding area does look like a set for Mad Max, so surely we should be using proposals like this to raise the profile of the area and not to just 'fit in'...

Application in: Coventry City Council: Planning Application Details

It's weird. I guess the problem is that there is almost zero negativity from the crowd at the moment. There may be the odd comment, but it's generally so positive. This annoys some people, because moaning about the crowd is one of their favourite things, so they've now resorted to trawling...

Dabo or Walsh for me, but you can make a case for several others. So much talent in the squad, but matched with spirit, endeavour and leadership all over the pitch. Never has a city side been more fit to wear the shirt.

Maybe not better in terms of facilities than those two, but a better ground? Absolutely. Give me that over that travesty in MK any day.

I guess I'm just not very observant. Go to pretty much all away games, and make frequent visits to the facilities (bladder not what it used to be, it's a worrying sign), but have not once seen a smashed up toilet. Not ever. Since when is this the norm? Must be me.

It should be said that our away support has been outstanding this season. Loud, proud, travelled in numbers, positive, respectful and impeccably behaved overall. A real credit to the club and city. Couple of exceptions. Rotherham away was edgy, and the incident yesterday, which I couldn't see...

So people get a bit edgy during a game and post the odd irrational comment. Why does it matter? MR and Liam Kelly aren't logged into SBT in the 70th minute. I probably murmured a few of those comments during a stressful second half, but coming out of the ground was saying how well we played...

But only when they are asked the question really. I'm like you, I'll believe it when I see it, and would very much welcome it tbh. I get a sense, just a sense, that they are perhaps seriously exploring the option this time. MR does not strike me as someone who suffer's fools or who is willing...
