    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Yeah, well remembered ! Not sure but it’s not been mentioned since. If that was included (and the government is bound by the outcome of any final WA vote) then avoiding No Deal would still be in the hands of the MPs, therefore, no need to force the extension ? As I say the forced extension...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Spot on SBD ! I’ve always thought the same, No Deals needed to be on the table as much for getting MPs to pull their fingers out and make a decision (extension is not a decision !) as trying to squeeze something out of the EU. By all account Johnson will be putting legal text regarding backstop...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    To be fair though SBD, a lot of these risks could all be removed by agreeing a/the withdrawal agreement which Parliament has had three opportunities to do already. I’m finding most that are arguing vehemently against ‘No Deal’ (most MPs) actually just want to stop Brexit. Im not saying you are...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Fair play Tony, we don’t agree a lot on this thread but I think we are of a similar mindset here....just get something done and move forward (even though I believe it would be anti democratic, Id even accept another in/out referendum if it guaranteed we could do this !) Another extension/second...

    One other thing....thinking back we have already scored some great goals this season ! (I just hope those simpler missed chances don’t come back to haunt us !). Playing as good football as I’ve seen in a long while though, probably since that half a season under Mowbray.

    Agree with this Shmmee. Shippers has been a major surprise for me this season...stepped up, works hard and has been creative. Thought he was was quality yesterday

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Doncaster Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 28th Sep

    I’ve got three of them behind me today. Mason (who’s having a great season) always takes a battering. Shippers who one or two passes aside has played some great stuff, also.

    It was Hiwulas man though....poor tracking back.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Doncaster Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 28th Sep

    Played really well. Just need to bury chances. First hiwula one was a sitter. Think we can get back into this but Donney look a decent side so dangerous on break (as shown !)

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Not really evidence that we will suddenly become the new Singapore though (the port idea, from what I can read, sound sensible if we plan to be ‘open for wider international business’) The risk of a Singapore type model would significantly increase on a ‘no deal’ If we get a trade deal with the...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Agree that the Tories should’ve tried to have build consensus across the house. There’s various things I don’t agree with though, talking about us trying to follow a Singapore model for one (no evidence). Also, we haven’t even got onto trade talks with the EU yet and there is no doubt that MPs...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I agree shmmmeee, it’s up to the government to at least get their house in order first, however, I also believe Brexit is too important a subject for the opposition to play politics. I think we all appreciate that Brexit transcends party politics. ERG will only have themselves to blame if...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Good to see Parliament is utilising it’s non prorogued time wisely ! Not sure if anyone caught Gove’s Q&A about yellowhammer (the name still amuses me for some reason) but from the bits I saw I thought it was a sensible, considered and rightly challenging.......glad only *85 MPs bothered to...

    Who is David Thompson talking about here?

    Never forget Williams refusing to sign a new contract and everyone thought he was leaving (to wolves if memory serves me correctly)....then we offered him £10k a week to stay :o

    I’ll have to watch this. I read a book that sounds like it covers similar aspects as the film called The China Study. Interesting stuff I don’t think I could ever cut out meat/dairy totally but reckon I have halved my intake in the last few months Ps a couple of the ‘impossible burgers’ are...

    abstaining fans

    It’s a tough one. I personally refused to get a season ticket as it just felt wrong we were having to play outside the city again, even though I live in Birmingham so it’s about a third of the travel time. I did however accept that the circumstances were a little different to the sixfields...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    People also forget that the sequencing was the EUs call, this made the Irish border issue a far greater one than it would’ve been if trade talks had been run concurrently (as requested by Davis - for all his faults this was correct) I’m not blaming the EU for taking this stance (I would’ve...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Bit unfair to call him a cretin. Many people believe that Johnson’s apparent seriousness to resolve the matter or else by 31 Oct has focussed EU minds, for example the WA, which was not up for renegotiation, can now be amended (if it delivers the same outcome/protections to the original...

    California's government at work

    Like most people, I think having homeless (other than those that choose to be) in the western world we live in, is unacceptable. I’m not fan of the SNP (Sturgeon in particular) but from what I’ve seen and heard Scotland have dealt with the homeless problem better than most ie providing proper...
