Be interesting to see how this all plays out. A lot of vox pops this morning going with the blue wall crumbling because too much attention is being paid to the red wall but it would be very foolish to get carried away off the back of one result. There needs to be effective opposition from...

This is a phenomenal comeback from England. India's first wicket fell at 167 and they're now 187-7. Sophie Ecclestone leading the way, unlike Indian teams to not be able to cope with spin. Meanwhile at Southampton in unsurprising news it looks like the 1st day of the World Test Championship...

This will be spun like the increased need for food banks.

He was from the era when we had a proper reserve team who played midweek night games at Highfield Road, 50p to get in if memory serves. Was a great prospect but think he got a serious illness and was never the same. Wish there was a proper reserve league now, much better than the U23s IMO.

Now we're back at the Ricoh they can bang on about a stadium as much as they want. Not sure I really buy that the press release today from Warwick Uni is part of some grand plan to put pressure on Wasps in 2031. What I don't get is why Warwick Uni are onboard with this. Their plan today for a...

Wasn't the idea with the Ricoh that transport was going to be 'green' hence the lack of parking spaces. We all know how that worked. Took them years to open a train station we can't use and the bus services from around the city stopped after the first couple of seasons.

I thought the shirt thing was a bit over the top to be honest. He's not died and there's been some reports today that he's having a device fitted that will allow him to continue playing football. Apparently there's another player who had a similar issue and has gone back to playing after the...

Its easy thought isn't it. You just throw out loads of names of players who are out of contract, say loads of different clubs are interested and then when they sign somewhere pick out that tweet and say 'I was right'.

I feel your pain. Had a local company doing mine but the other side had a faceless internet company who were useless and held everything up. Even more annoying that you pay out so much for them and the likes of surveyors but when it turns out they haven't done their job properly and you've got...

There's the light rail system which will serve the uni, there's also a planned rail station for the new housing development which will be a few mins walk away and there's already plenty of buses that serve the uni. With the new junction off the relief road think its about a good a site as you'll...

That was the one they were going to build on the landfill site wasn't it? Fratton is their best option but they've shot themselves in the foot forcing the local council to allow a change of use so they could sell the land next to the ground to be a massive Tesco. Don't think they even got the...

Part of the Unis plans is two massive car parks, one right next to the area being talked about for the stadium which I would guess is where the junction with the new relief road will come out.

With the budget they've got and the people involved its amazing to me how they are making so many basic mistakes. Constant technical issues and being tricked with false names. Maybe its a plan to bump up the viewing figures, make it such a car crash that people watch.

When I lived in Portsmouth they had plans to build a stadium in the sea!

Irrespective of the chances of a stadium being built the Eco Park sounds great, will have to take a closer look at what is proposed. Wonder if the Eco stadium idea is being floated in the hope of attracting grants to cover at least part of the cost. If the plan is to get someone else to pay for...

That's where the flying cars are going isn't it? There's also supposed to be a hotel built there, remember the council bending over backwards because it needed to be built in time for City of Culture. Of course that has started and no sign of the hotel.

Without a doubt, and this report makes clear investment is needed. You can't make huge cuts to councils, who are responsible for social care, without it impacting the services provided. And the areas that have been impacted the most by budget cuts are those with the highest levels of deprivation...

Think there's an issue with context here. You hear case numbers, hospital admissions and deaths and no matter how low it goes it still sounds pretty bad as we have nothing to compare it to. How many people know the equivalent figures for other viruses that we live with? But before we can think...

I'm not taking much comfort from the inpatient numbers to be honest, there's been a 23% rise in 2 weeks. Desperately hoping that the increased cases and hospitalisations aren't going to lead to increased deaths but all metrics (cases, admissions, inpatients, ventilators) are increasing and we...
