Ultimately, the best way to deter Putin, China and other adversaries is by through strength. Which is why the NATO countries need to increase defence spending It’s not just Ukraine at stake here if Putin succeeds. The West is starting to see the risks associated with our complacency towards...

Ukraine cannot possibly make that promise. The Budapest Memorandum ’guaranteed’ Ukraine’s security and territorial integrity if it agreed to give up nuclear weapons following the collapse of the USSR. Before this, Ukraine had the 3rd largest nuclear stockpiles - think Russia would be invading if...

I’m not going into the finer points of the interventions the West has made… but there’s a few significant distinctions and general points to be made between our interventions then and the intervention Russia is making in the Ukraine. 1. Ukraine is a democratic country, Iraq and Afghanistan were...

The claim that the league has 12-15 teams that are competitive is a bit ridiculous. 12th placed Burton are 12 points adrift from the playoffs and 26 points off top. League 1 is about as strong as it was when we were there.

Personally, my instinct is that we were never good enough for the playoffs even when we were flying… That said, we’re three points off the playoffs with a lot of points to play for. Even if we don’t make it, we’ve made a lot of progress and overcome a lot of injuries, that in itself is an...

There isn’t a story here, I don’t think. I remember when Watford got relegated and Aidy Boothroyd responding to rumours about Marlon King said he was worth £60 million… That’s how silly manager’s valuations can be.

That’s the wrong way of looking at it because the point is that the players stunted their development by leaving to clubs way above their level. For the younger players on this list, they went from playing men’s football to development level. That was never realistically going to improve a...

Would he have been better financially had he stayed and carried on with us? He took the first good offer that came his way.

I don’t agree with anti-vaxxers at all but I respect their right to be idiots. Ok, at what number of vaccinations do we turnaround and commit to normality? The Government is relaxing testing requirements, reducing testing from travellers, reducing the self-isolation period. With that in mind...

This was a political deportation in response to the uproar of him seemingly circumventing the rules behind vaccination initially. Someone like Djokovic is literally at 0 risk of dying from COVID and has had it recently so has natural immunity to the disease. Does he need to be jabbed...

I’m certainly not against vaccination - I’ve had all 3 jabs. I’ve encouraged any friends and family to get their jabs when they were hesitant. COVID will be like the flu, a new variant every year and the Government will get to a point where it’ll offer annual boosters to targeted groups. In...

This episode also shows how ridiculous Australia’s COVID rules are. On one hand, I’m glad Djokovic didn’t get to beat the rules because he’s rich and famous. On the other, if he doesn’t want to get vaccinated, that’s surely his prerogative. 80-90% of people have been vaccinated now and...

Even without COVID, Rotherham would have got relegated. The worst team in the division I seen us play.

6 first team CBs? That just isn’t happening.

Osti should probably do what we can to engineer a move back to us on loan. BHA nor Osti expected us to be around the playoffs in December. Assuming we’re interested and can afford him, that is.

I don’t know if Omicron is in Italy - but I went to 3 games last week in 3 different cities with no social distancing. That’s not including all the Cov games we’ve been to so far with neither vaccine passports and social distancing. I tested negative to return back to the UK. Frankly, I’m...

Co’mon, Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga every year. They’d win the league without him too. At this point, I don’t think you can justify someone winning the ballon d’or playing anywhere but the Premiership at the moment. Mo Salah has got to be a shoe-in for the award in 2022 if Liverpool win...

You get a lot of money for winning a group game in the UCL. £2m or so… so for Liverpool it’s always been a cash cow. It wasn’t a meaningless fixture either. Had Milan secured a draw, they would’ve went through to the Europa League. Having watched the game in person, it was a fantastic...

You can add your vaccines to your Apple/Google wallets (valid for 1 month) and they just scan it. Like another user on here, I’m in Italy and went to Milan v Liverpool last night.

Considering where both clubs were two season ago, Bournemouth are undoubtedly a ‘vastly superior’ side to us. Take a look at the relative values of both our sides and even our results -they’ve lost two games all season. We matched them tactically and look at how much Robins is getting out of...
