Abolishing the electoral college is nonsense. Firstly, it requires constitutional change - around 66% in favour in Congress and/or the Senate. Secondly, and most importantly, it puts the power firmly into the hands of the largest states, California, Texas, NY and Florida. In a UK context, we...

I don’t disagree. In a UK context, I’m a Labour voter and not switching anytime soon. Without getting into the nuts and bolts of this, people just didn’t flip to Trump for no reason. Like many Labour strongholds, areas like Penn, Wisconsin and particularly Michigan have seen these areas lose...

Don’t get me wrong, calling Biden a socialist/communist is plain stupid. Equally stupid, however, are the same people who call Trump a white supremacist/nationalist. Frankly, there are more socialists in the Democratic Party than white nationalists in the Republican Party. I have friends from...

Those people think exactly the same with regards to California.

Apparently some key county’s polling hugely in Trump’s favour e.g. Maricopa voting 62% Republican and others (quoting Ben Shapiro there). The result was called pretty early, and they are yet to hit 85% counted votes yet. For context, Trump was winning Wisconsin and Michigan at 85% vote count.

Biamou is getting dropped after that. Absolute kamikaze football.

Decent start early on! A good interception from Hamer/Sheaf in their half.

You’re missing a lot context. Biden is winning by nearly 2-3 million votes. The gap between Democrats and Republicans in California is nearly 4 million. The democrats dominate in California and New York. Two of the most populous states in the US - which skews the ‘popular vote’ to the...

If he gets all 5, it’s game, set and match to Biden. Trump needs Pennsylvania to stand any chance of winning. On top of that, he needs Alaska, Georgia, North Carolina, and one of Michigan or Wisconsin to win.

Ironically, Trump has seen an upturn in support from ethnic minorities and similarly, loss of support among white men. At least, as far as we can see right now.

Banning isn’t a good idea. But, people should not generally do politics on social media. It’s toxic. It also builds echo chambers and amplifies the divisions between party support/policy positions. Hence, polarisation between Democrats and Republicans in the USA and between Remain and Leave in...

The US polls are particularly flawed. Our UK pollsters generally use double the sample size (2-3k respondents) to the US polls. Which, given the size of the two countries, is pretty crazy.

Famous last words.

There is nowhere near enough data to suggest that. Maybe a tenuous link when he played with McNulty, certainly not Gooden. In any caseC without Biamou, Gooden has got off to a good start goal scoring! Personally, my opinion is that playing 5-3-2 just suited us better than 3-4-2-1 has in recent...

It was also his 5th or 6th foul. You’ve got to love the combativeness and playing the game to the edge. But, he needs to control himself a bit because we need him to last 90 minutes.

The key for us is to start picking some points on the road. We've only got 1 point from 4 away games so far. Even a point or two against Forest and Watford would be good. Although, I do think Forest are in disarray at the minute and they are there for the taking. Conversely, our home form has...

Anyone who brags about salary on an Internet forum is a prime suspect for embellishment. Oh, btw, I earn £1,000,000,000,000 per year.

I agree. COH looked good in that midfield 3 when he came on, on top of his technicality, he does have the work rate and bravery to make the CM role work. Especially since Shipley was operating as an AM at certain points last night. Shipley looks better playing as a CM in a three than when he...

He’s undoubtedly our best manager in the modern era. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a particularly staggering feat. We have pretty much had a new manager every other year since relegation in 2001. When we got relegated to L2, the only way was up and we’ve managed to get back into the...

I don’t mind the commentators, in fairness. Generally, I don’t know why they don’t have two impartial and knowledgable guests who will talk about the football. It was nice having Paul Cook back us up a bit, especially compared to Matthew Mills’ obvious bias. The NTTT guys would be good.
