    Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Sep

    It would be silly to say this is a must win game but I really hope we do. I want us to put one over Birmingham and I would be very disappointed if, after this match, we have only won two of our first seven games. I truly believe be are better than that.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I’m pleased that we remain unbeaten and have enjoyed our best start to a season for a few years. It’s good to see us playing attractive football and scoring a few goals. Am I being too optimistic though, when you consider that we are (a) already five points adrift of Middlesbrough and (b) only...

    My predictions were correct. It’s a miracle! My sporting predictions are always wrong 😆

    It was pleasing to see Eccles settling straight back into the team after being out for months. He looks ready to start when called upon. Overall it was a decent point.

    Women's Rugby World Cup 2025

    You may be right but I think Kildunne and Botterman - plus our strength in depth from the bench - will be the difference. I can see it being tight with us then pulling away in the final quarter.

    Women's Rugby World Cup 2025

    I’m looking forward to this afternoon’s match. With Kildunne and Botterman back we should overcome France by at least 15-20 points. The final against Canada should be a cracker but if we play as we can I expect us to raise the trophy.

    That's the starting lineup that I would like to see. I think, however, that FL will want to ease Saka back in so I reckon BTA will start on the left.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think the most likely outcome is that Rayner will be charged a penalty for making a careless error in completing her SDLT1 tax form. This is a civil penalty, not a criminal one for tax evasion, so it will not technically be a fine. Some may take the view that she is guilty of tax evasion but...

    David Lammy is the new deputy prime minister and justice secretary. Yvette Cooper moves to foreign secretary. I wonder if Pat McFadden might be the new home secretary. P.S. Shabana Mahmood is the new home secretary.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    With such a large majority I can't see it, unless the Labour backbenchers start to wrest control of policy away from Starmer and make his position untenable. It's not impossible, given the revolt over spending cuts, but with the current state of the polls I can't see turkeys voting for...

    The field of competent candidates is a small one. My money is on Pat McFadden.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is from her resignation letter: She was apparently advised by two of her professional advisers (one being the conveyancers who acted on the purchase of the Hove property, the other being presumably the solictors to the trust) to seek specialist tax advice but she failed to do so. It is...
