I don't lie anywhere politically - I merely misspeak or provide alternative facts.

Not a surprise given we signed Williams and Drysdale and he's barely featured for U23. Thompson was always ahead of him and looked a better player IMO at youth level. Good luck to the lad.

I've thought for some while that there should be a 'protest'/'none of the above' box to tick on the actual ballot. At the moment it's impossible to tell who failed to fill the ballot correctly and who spoiled it deliberately. It'd give people an actual 'protest' vote to show dissatisfaction and...

Of course it's centre right - it's a staunchly capitalist country. The point was it's going beyond that towards extreme right with racism etc. It's not a lot of people find left wing policies abhorrent (except the extreme left) it's those that are brought in to implement them. Far too often...

I totally forgot this was today until saw the sign outside the church for polling station. No idea who my local candidates were. Tend to go more independent or smaller party like green in locals. Think turnout for this will be very low cos people are just fed up with politics on a national...

I'd love you to be right but there does seem to be a move right over recent years. Most of it is happening abroad but it is creeping in here too. Far right will not be getting control but could be used in coalition or influence the centre-right further right to appease their more extreme voters...

I've a similar problem, but can't do any running at all. Mine is apparently caused by protrusions in my vertebrae (a sort of mini slipped disc) which impinges on the nerves. L4-5 is the worst and impinges all the time giving me sciatica but L2-3 can cause problems if I bend backwards.

When will we know who's been taken on/released from the second years and the new intake from the U16's?

England in a WC final or Cov to win Prem/CL (well, any league or cup). Been to NFL and MLB games in US and they're rather tame affairs - so many fans aren't even paying attention - just eating and chatting. Having said that a SB just for the spectacle would be nice. An Ashes test at Lord's or...

In terms of goalkeeping ability I think the standard has dropped immensely, esp at top teams as due to the amount of possession they have they don't expect keepers to have much to do and concentrate far more on their ability regards distribution with a bit of shot stopping thrown in. I look at...

If he leaves he's well within his rights to and I bear no animosity to him for doing so if he's playing at a higher level on a higher wage. He's been here a good while and done his best and played out of position and through injury at times. For him it's probably now or never given his age and...

Probably due to the uncertainty over the stadium - could have a massive impact on transfers/budget.

Bayliss has been a bit disappointing this season more due to expectation than performance (you wouldn't ordinarily expect that much of a 19yo) but given his age and the amount of football he's played I think he needed the rest and the injury may be useful long term. He's made some poor decisions...

Far too early to say at the moment - no idea who's staying/going (though large nucleus of the current squad should remain) or even where we'll be playing which will make a massive difference to budget and who would be willing to stay/join. Certainly don't think it's a given we'll be fighting...

Not been on for over a month as been busy. As for game - with nothing now to play for MR should be focused on 2 things: 1. Next season 2. Using the rare opportunity to give youngsters a bit of matchday experience Don't care about league fairness etc - we do what's best for us and that is now...

Think it depends how far away you go. No-one from the Midlands has ever mistaken me for a Brummie, but I have had someone from Newcastle area and from Ireland and Scotland ask, although one of those did say 'Midlands' rather than Birmingham. In America they thought I was Canadian - I think they...

Yeah, it is a bit strange. I've no problem whatsoever with the law on going on the pitch etc as long as it's applied uniformly across all sports. I do think there is a tendency for middle-class and above to have this cultural stereotype of football fans as uneducated mindless hooligans. You can...

I agree entirely. Getting the ball and just instantly running with it is mindless. Exciting, but mindless. I don't mind slowing play down when there's no support, but at times it feels like the quick attack is on and he slows it down for the sake of it or to do some 'tekkers'/showboating...

I'm not sure the level of service has improved necessarily. Bright can be infuriating at times in slowing play down and holding onto the ball (but can look amazing at times as well), Bayliss has been similar all season in moments of brilliance interspersed with running down cul-de-sacs and...

I agree to an extent and given the choice instinct would make me play the big guy over the small one as a lone front man, but I guess it also depends on how you provide for them. If you want to have the ball held up and wait for the midfield to support - big man no question. But if you can find...
