    He sometimes seems incapable of doing anything. Other than scoring lots of goals. 🙂

    Leicester points deduction

    A desperate attempt to avoid relegation. That worked well didn't it? If their breach of the rules means that they gain promotion this year then they will benefit from £millions for being in the PL next year and the parachute payments for the following seasons. I have read that they should get...

    Leicester points deduction

    They extended the accounting reference period so that it ended on 30th June 2023 rather than 31st May. This gave them an extra month to file the accounts for what will be a 13 month period.

    It will be interesting to read the accounts when they are filed at Companies House. At the moment they are late filing them:

    Match Thread Coventry City - Cardiff City Match Thread - Monday 1st Apr

    I'm happy with that. The only change to the matchday squad is Lusala in for Godden, who is assumed to be injured or ill.

    Leicester points deduction

    I was a St. John Ambulance (SJA) volunteer when I was younger. The way it works is that the organiser of the event - in this case Leicester City - pay SJA as a contribution towards the organisation's expenses. The foot soldiers on the ground freely give their time and expertise. We didn't even...

    Simms + Wright = ?

    We were all delighted when Gykores scored 22 goals in all competitions in the 2022/23 season. It is possible that both Wright and Simms could match that and even if they don't they are unlikely to fall short by much given that they are currently on 16 each This is an astonishing achievement...

    Birmingham City stadium

    It's a bit ambitious for a club that is likely to be in League 1 next season. It was only our win yesterday that kept them out of the drop zone. As we know only took well, climbing back up out of the lower leagues isn't always easy even for biggish clubs such as them and us

    USA vs Jamaica Watchalong

    There is also Palmer who, at the very least, is a good squad player.

    I'm more than a little concerned that you know what shit tastes like. 😄

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    My goodness, you certainly don't countenance any views other than your own do you? Not even those Labour supporters with more moderate opinions than yours. You ought to go and live in a Socialist paradise where opposition to the government isn't allowed. North Korea springs to mind 😄

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You know perfectly well what I mean. I don't think it is unreasonable to refer to his pledges as his personal manifesto because that is what they are. My issue is that he has done U-turns on most of them and - to a greater extent than most politicians - I don't think he is to be trusted. I have...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Although there is undoubtedly some truth in that I think Starmer has taken it to new heights with the number of U turns he has made and the total abandonment of his flagship green investment policy. I doubt that there is much left of the manifesto he stood on in the party leadership election.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There is no doubt that Starmer is trying to position Labour as a centrist party. My concern, which I have expressed before, is that he always seeks to be popular with whatever electorate he is facing at the time. He was much more to the left when seeking election as party leader and has moved...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I read that yesterday. As a plan it is superficially appealing but if private landlords are driven to sell up it will reduce the supply and drive rents up. There is evidence that the present government's increase in CGT is having that effect already. I think it's a case of being careful what...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's true but I am normally torn as to whether to vote Labour or Conservative. I am going to wait until the election manifestos are out before deciding how to cast my vote. If the election were held today my choice would be between casting aside my feelings about Starmer and voting Labour or...

    FA Cup Thread: Examples Of Media Writing Us Off

    I think it will be something like 3-1. Although I forecast Wolves to beat us by that score and we all know how that turned out 😊 To win would almost be beyond my wildest dreams but occasionally dreams do come true. 🤞
