When I see comments like that, it smacks of rose tinted glasses. You see the same faces at most away days so struggle to believe the support has changed materially, imo.

I thought Pompey away was a more atmospheric support than I’ve been too for a while. Tense games can often lead to tense crowds and I can be quiet when it gets like that.

It’s true he’s scored a few goals playing RW/LW but as a player, he makes all his big plays in central positions. I could wrong here, most of his goals playing wide comes from the right rather than the left. If that is the case, the solution isn’t as straightforward as putting BTA at LW...

We over performed our xG and Watford underperformed theirs. Both teams created 3 ‘big chances’ and both teams scored 1 albeit one of those high xG chances was the penalty, which from my angle looked like a good save from Rushworth. The game defining moment was Watford missing that early 1v1 and...

Nah, BTA and Haji need to remain central if they keep up their form. BTA is getting most of goals playing centrally. If anything, there’s a more compelling case to play 5-3-2.

Thought the second half was garbage. All things considered, 3-0 up and a 11 v 10 men, the game was effectively over. Looking at Watford’s xG v ours paints the picture that we were v lucky. 3-1 was not a fair reflection of how the game actually went. Take the 3 points and learn from the game...

We've had the better of Watford in recent seasons and their away form is poor. It is really a game we need to win to keep up the pressure on the chasing pack. 2-1 and 3 points!

I don’t think you’re an open border zealot. What I would say is that you’re quite clearly uncomfortable drawing a line on what you’d control. In the interests of open conversation, what would you manage? For example, I think it’s reasonable to expect: - high earner of above £35-40k+ per annum...

I don’t blame immigrants at all. It’s the British governments fault for not controlling borders. There's a reason Macron called Britain 'El Dorado' for illegal migrants. In major UK cities, such as London, social housing is disproportionately made up foreign-born people...

They’re not because GDP per capita has steadily declined in line with mass migration. Again, the evidence of its impact on social housing, house and rental price increases… The British state under Labour and Conservative governments have proven that it cannot build enough houses to keep up with...

The problem for your worldview is that voters have come to link declining public service provisions and living standards with the advent of mass immigration. In cities like London, Birmingham and Manchester, social housing, for example, 45-60% (depending on which city + area) is taken up by...

Fundamentalists of any religion are not 'chill'. The issue is that there's exponentially more fundamentalists in the ME and North Africa than Western Europe. One of the reasons for that is the enlightenment prioritises the scientific method, promotes democracy, individual liberties and most...

The strikers are sorted. The options are there to change the profile or go 2 upfront. To sound like a broken record, the flexibility options for the players behind the forwards are seriously lacking. If Plan A doesn't work, we actually don't look being able to change games. From my POV, Hull...

In fairness, why should the French effectively police Britain's borders? It isn't in France's national interest to keep these people in their country. It's why this 'one in, one out' deal is doomed to fail because there's nothing stopping people reentering the UK. This is fundamentally why the...

Agree that there's a lot of violence and ugly stuff in most religious texts. However, the big thing that separates 'The West' is that the Enlightenment happened and flourished and this is arguably the most consequential and important movement in world history. It's where Western Europe and the...

No, but going to Leicester games in hospitality - if rumours are to be believed - is and should be a bannable offence.

Signed. Nothing personal, it was just funny and the petition is a joke.

Am I the only one that thinks sitting on the base of this statue is disrespectful?

Presumably, you're not a STH then? No judgement there because having live nearly 2 hours away for a season and a half, I can empathise with the long travelling, particularly for more senior fans. Equally, you can't expect people to take this proposal seriously when there are people who do the...

What’s your attendance been like over the last 3-5 years though?
