Who’s going to the game today? As ever the optimist, I believe we’ll finally turn up and beat Slovakia handily.

Bidwell is a decent player and an honest professional. He’s just overly idealised by our fan base - if JDS could defend well, Bidwell wouldn’t get a look in. JDS’ qualities on the ball far exceed Bidwell so can understand his line of thinking. A player who’s a blend of the two, for arguments...

How so? There’s very few jobs in the market where it would benefit an employer to hire and fire within a probationary period. The investment and costs of hiring and training new staff, in reality, makes it often not worth it to the employer to take fail probations and rehire. It works both...

Agree, yet the core issue is that aggregate demand is far higher than supply. The rental market is also spiralling out of control. Realistically, can we build 500+ thousand houses per year? The answer is clearly no. It’s not just a case of Tory incompetencies because centre-left governments in...

Specifically what workers rights would you like to see strengthened?

Of all the things driving up house prices, stamp duty is the least of our issues. There’s something in the region of a 4.5 million house deficit in the UK. We need the equivalent of 1.5 Manchesters in houses to correct the market and that’s with 0 population growth. Historically low interest...

… and to never play in the Championship for them when they got there.

He is a solid player, but if you’re a club that wants to get to the Prem, he’ll only get you so far. That’s been the story of his career with Brentford, Swansea and now us. It’s rational that LB is an area we wish to improve. He’s also on the ‘wrong’ side of 30 so at some point, there needs to...

Whatever happened to trusting the manager that’s took us from the depths of L2 to promotion chasing Championship team? Every summer people moan about players who’ll become their favourite players. The lesson is, year in and year out, is to have patience and the players usually come good.

It’s easier said than done though, EMC’s club before Peterborough was Barnet in non-league. We’re just not likely to pick these players up and give them the game time to develop into multi-million pound players. Two examples from our recent history; Allasani and Jodi Jones (post-injury).

Biden has just come out and declared that he ‘did well’ in the debate. It’s pretty unfathomable at this stage that he’ll actually stand for re-election on Nov.

It’s not out of the question, it it’s worth noting that a lot of internal migration within the USA is from high tax (usually blue states) moving to low tax states (usually red states). Overtime, California could become a swing state too because there’s a lot of dissatisfaction with how the...

I believe he has to step down ‘voluntarily’ to make it quick and clean. Last nights debate has shown how much the Biden administration has been gaslighting the public about the state of his health. A week or two before the debate the press secretary was claiming all the videos showing his poor...

Godden scored 1 league goal since September last season. First two Championship seasons, he was great for us but now he’s surplus to requirements. In my view, he doesn’t have physical qualities to stay at Championship standard.

Away too, the only benefit is that I’ve not Ashton Gate yet and there’s 30 points in offering.

I imagine Simms shot conversion % was dragged down with his disappointing 2023 compared to an electric 2024. I guess Asante would be ‘proven’ Championship quality that is affordable and happy to not be first choice.

It’s the easy side of the group because the we won our group and France came 2nd. Previous England teams have played themselves into the harder side of the draw by not winning the group. In 2002 and 2010 there was a good chance we could’ve gotten to a semi-final (at least) had we won the group...

Even if we got to, and lost, the final it can’t be considered a failure if really. If I was Southgate, I’d walk regardless of the result. We don’t win it all, he sacks off all the grief he gets regularly and if we win it, he resigns on a high. If France were in our bracket, I’d consider a SF...

Agreed, I spent €200 on the England match, which was ‘cheap’ considering most listings were €400 initially… which is the most I’ve spent on a footy match. Improvement is needed, 1000% agreed… the tournament so far has had so many underperforming favourites. Ourselves, France and Belgium in...

To be honest, looking at how this group stage has panned out, I don’t think our performances have been *that* bad. France, Belgium, Italy - 2nd place Netherlands - 3rd place Portugal - lost a game Germany - needed a stoppage time goal to avoid finishing 2nd The only team to come out best is...
