    Great game. As you say, not a major surprise with Kelce and Jones out. The joy of the nfl with the draft system. Also Lions did well with goff deal getting two first round picks, last years behind high after poor Rams season Mahomes is currently underpaid, so’s kelce. They reckon Mahomes might...

    WW2. War started for Britain on this day.

    Agreed. Unfortunately people conflate the two, you can be patriotic and proud of your country, whilst appreciating its not perfect, without being a nationalist loon

    WW2. War started for Britain on this day.

    Bit embarrassing and it’s people like her which lead people to think we’re like that as a country, which we’re not at all.

    WW2. War started for Britain on this day.

    I disagree. I think National identity is important and having a semblance of pride in your country is a good thing. We lose that and I think things could unravel quite quickly Whether we’re religious or not, the country was built on Christian values. You could say over time these became...

    Yeah, it’s a weak division although a lot of people are tipping falcons to come good. Still should have a good chance. As you say Saints have got a fair bit of quality/ talent, if they stay fit and/or don’t start aging overnight. Either way will be involved in some fun games I reckon

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I feared the worst but just googled. I think councils were freed up from ‘having’ to use funds to rebuild social housing….probably blew it down Grosvenor Casino instead by the sound of it https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/right-to-buy-replacement-social-housing-b1820016.html# Edit...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s bizarre. Didn’t realise that. What was the reasoning for not allowing replacements to be built ?

    I feel your pain. I follow saints, the cap magicians, but the cap is finally catching up with them ! Carr might squeak out a half decent season or two but expensive and just kicking the can. Be interesting to see what Flores can do with vikings defence and agree, I think for a 4th round Lance...

    Match Thread Watford (h)

    There’s a fair bit of that I agree with, in particular if/when ohare gets back to his best then I can see Robins starting with Palmer on the bench unless we play box which I think suits palmer a lot better. Palmer is similar to ohare earlier doors with not enough end product/good enough...

    Wasnt there rumours that you were tempted to go for Trey Lance. Bit of a gamble but might’ve been a decent shout for both Not sure if you watch/listen to Pro Football Talk Tisza but Mike Florio who does it is a big Vikings fan and always has plenty to say about Cousins. Worth checking

    It’s the determination. Same with Fadz. Not sure if this has been posted already but amazing recovery All the younger lads should be looking at these two examples to show them what it takes to make things happen

    Robins on Lati in midfield

    Early days. Defence has looked ok before Saturday, albeit obviously getting to know each other. Robins wouldn’t have wanted to chop and change unnecessarily but will probably have to now after Saturday, international call ups etc. This is the issue with having half decent players outside first...

    He’s had a stinker. This will hurt him. Cash before kids etc etc.

    Our midfield - do we have problems?

    Or a left footed CB alongside him might help ?! I like Dasilva but do wonder if Robins will stick with two such attacking WBs when we look so open. It’s a whole new defensive unit though which will take time whoever plays there ps Bidwell was shocking yesterday but will put that down to lack...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agree with all that. Just thinking if people continue to feel poorer and don’t see various things working, that huge swing could happen. Add to that the ‘lending’ of red wall seats, Scotland etc. I think it’s possible….Starmer needs to come up with a clear positive vision for the country though

    Ratings v watford

    That’s where I actually thought sheaf and ayari were as culpable as Eccles yesterday. Losing possession in awful areas with poor/sloppy passing. Same as back three, they kept casually passing it into danger. Hopefully just an off day all round. Agree with yours and others comments that Palmer...

    Nah, he got badly knocked out last time so did the right thing. Be interesting to see what smith says about ankles and if they were an issue (don’t think it would’ve changed result)
