    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To be fair though we do have an economy that's based almost entirely on consumption and growth of that consumption over time. This is because the metrics governments use to measure 'success' are based around them and so therefore have to promote them to be seen to be successful and achieving...

    I think you'll find Warwickshire aren't in the quarters. Birmingham are.

    Sevilla Highlights

    Do these coaches not actually watch any footage of players getting the ball over the wall? It happens regularly. Yes, it requires decent technique and that's why the players train to be able to do it regularly. I get the thing about seeing the ball but if you cant see it unless you're standing...

    George Curtis

    Very sad news. Legend is massively overused these days but George was a legend among legends. And so much more than that besides. A gentleman and just a nice guy in general. RIP George.

    Surprise package

    Eccles. With James and Walsh going elsewhere I think he'll be far more involved this year. Others I think could make do well are J Burroughs, Drysdale, N'Gandu and Bapaga but most likely on loan.

    I think on the free kick he was in the wrong place and far too near his other post. He could easily have been two or three steps across and managed to get back there had the free kick been put in the opposite corner. But it was obvious from where he was standing he'd never have time to get...

    F1 2021

    While I'm not totally averse to it I do think it would be potentially dangerous at the start as faster cars approach the first corner behind slower ones. Not totally convinced by the sprint race and I like the idea of giving each driver a clear track to do ONE qualifying lap. If they get it...

    Sevilla match thread

    Result doesn't mean much and they're a fair few steps up from where we are. But have to admit a few bits of keeping and positioning from Moore were worrying. Hopefully just a bit rusty and will get better.

    Man of the people. Most of us aren't sure what we're supposed to do either given the messaging has been so unclear.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm sure he stands for a lot. But like with Miliband the advisors get their claws in him and he ends up seemingly having no opinion because someone somewhere has told him it'd be a vote loser if he went one way or the other. So, yes, could could say he doesn't have conviction, because if he did...

    I think the second quote is closer to the truth than the first. He doesn't know how to engage with them rather than think they're 'beneath' him as such.

    But they can point to an actual instance of our fans failing to behave and the authorities failing to stop it now.

    If I'm totally honest with you I think you've rushed into that way too quickly. You and Tom don't seem very well suited IMO.

    Basically a way of absolving themselves of blame and responsibility but not doing something unpopular. "If people go out and get ill it's their fault for doing so. We advised them not to"

    There is a thought that the high incarceration levels are actually deliberate because it's how America remains competitive. Basically it gets used as slave labour.
