If it means rubber stamping people into the country, it doesn’t change how angry people are on this.

This is why you need a deterrent and it’s no surprise crossing has gone up since Labour scrapped Rwanda. It’s the only significant change this The home office needs to be committed to turning back boats (or other means) to France, refuse to grant asylum claimants to anyone who rocks up...

It started in 2018 before Brexit. The issue we have now, in my view, is that we’re wedded to the Human Rights Act and ECHR which has made it increasingly difficult to remove people in violation of our laws. There is overwhelming public support across all major parties to deport foreign...

Ordinary people who actually live in those countries don’t tend to agree with your tourist experiences. People see the way the communities and way of life is going and they don’t like it. On the ‘fall of Rome’ point, it’s not as if Roman society and elites were aware their societies were...

Agreed, that ‘hard left’ has been thrown around too much in the past. I’d argue the trend started with decrying anyone to right of David Cameron as ‘fascist’ probably led to Corbyn’s vilification using similar tactics… I suppose that’s beside the point.

Sky Blue Tony spouts this as if this same issue isn’t tearing apart the political class in EU nations…

When people call Farage “far right”, it’s a fundamental misuse of the term. By most historical standards, he’s just a typical 80/90s era-Tory and would’ve remained as such had he not been kicked out over his Brexiteer views. The failure of the political class to address immigration has started...

If you truly believed this was the state of Britain, why did you and many others kick out the Tories if everything was all well and good? The country was angry and still is. In normal times, you wouldn’t get this at football matches. I touched on this back in May, but the amount of ‘Reform’...

You have 2 players to make a Day 1 impact in the Prem and with the riches of Prem money, we probably go out and spend a lot of money upgrading the team. Personally, I believe we’d have made a better fist of staying up than Luton and even Burnley that year.

Nope, you buy the tickets and get the points shortly afterwards. As far as I can tell, the club does not monitor (probably cannot) if they’re used or not. I’ll personally go to both games but it will be those kind of games where it’s more of a struggle.

Exactly, we won’t sell that out either and come end of the season the same arguments about ‘closed shop’ will reemerge. We’ve got some honking midweek games this season but that’s where the points are at!

100% - the ‘closed shoppers’ never complain about these games being sold out… funny that! I do think Millwall away was one of the worst draws we could’ve had. Not a new ground and logistically challenging to get to compared to other grounds.

At £10-15 a ticket and 30 points… many will just buy a ticket and no go. It’s worth 3 league away games that’d set you back £80-100 just in ticket prices alone.

He was, the Kitching-MVE-EMC move for goal number 4 was just fantastic. Thomas was also great because he was a big set piece threat and this directly lead to 2 goals yesterday.

Looking at FotMob, Derby’s xG was 1.48 and the only ‘good chance’ they created was for their 3rd goal. The penalty alone accounted for over half their xG. Anyone getting carried away with the headline of 3 goals conceded either wasn’t at the game or looked at the stats. Lampard seemed to brush...

I don’t think the game was that open, but it was chaotic. Their first goal was a freakish goal, the penalty came off the back of a long shot that wasn’t that troublesome and the third was the best chance they created all match. Had we gone 2 goals up, I believe we would’ve routed Derby by 3 or 4...

Exactly. Derby outscored their xG by quite a bit, we’re not likely to concede 3 goals from 1.48 xG in most games. I spoke to a couple of Derby fans in the bar after the game and they were v impressed with how dynamic and fluid we were.

Why are you so negative? We won yesterday and you’re droning on about how bad we are.

Lampard described things well. Goals 1 and 2 conceded were ‘uncontrollable’ and their final goal was difficult to defend. You have Carlton Morris in the box who is a threat and the ball falls to one of their players in the box. Yesterday was a freakish game, I can’t recall anything quite like...

His tactical role under Robins was to be more of a ball playing CB that he isn’t. Under Lampard and the addition of Grimes, Thomas gets put in a lot less vulnerable positions because he nearly always has a simple pass to MVE, Kitching or Grimes. The pass % can be misleading, because if all...
