    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Is that just a regular occurrence but a good opportunity for someone to have a dig at Johnson after his “I remember how some people used to sneer at wind power 20 years ago and say that it wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding,” comments? Bizarrely that person was Johnson...

    6 championship clubs need bailout

    Probably the simplest way is to ask clubs to put forward accounts showing what they have lost due to covid. You can't be bailing teams out because they decided to spend too much on wages or transfer fees. Shouldn't be too hard for most clubs to show lost revenue and the costs that would...

    England V Denmark

    Although the refusal to play Maddison or Grealish is odd not sure it would make a huge difference at the moment. We can't get the basics right and teams like Denmark play us off the pitch just by doing the simple stuff. I can accept that some of our players aren't world class but they are...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Some of the issues we have now goes back to before covid. Lack of funding the NHS - every winter just with regular flu the NHS is on its knees with ambulances queuing outside A&E; lack of funding the police - how are they supposed to enforce any restrictions when they don't have the manpower for...

    What a depressing prospect.

    Mental Health

    Being furloughed has shown me beyond any doubt what a huge negative impact work was having on not just my mental health but my physical health as well. Stress evaporated overnight. Obviously there's the stress of being furloughed and not knowing if you'll have a job to go back to but thats...

    England V Denmark

    His whole England managerial career has flattered him. Living off a semi final in a World Cup where we only managed to win against one half decent team in the whole tournament.

    England V Denmark

    This is shit from England. Maguire was lucky to stay on after the first one, not a surprise he went for another one pretty quickly afterwards. Denmarks Hummel kit is way better than another piss poor effort from Nike as well.

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    When I had a quick look on the Wasps forum to see what they were making of it one chap was actually suggesting that the Henley residents should pay for replacement facilities which could be located at a school in Stratford!

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Wonder if Wasps fans are having second thoughts about when they were pushing for Sale to forfeit their game due to a covid outbreak in their squad. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/54542965

    Project Big Picture...

    Exactly. They just saw an opportunity with EFL clubs struggling to force it through. They won't just give up. Parry has to go now you'd think.

    Says red button, hope we get the same money from Sky as we do for the main channels.

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    I know its not national but the sad thing is we all know if it was Fisher proposing this it would be all over CWR and the Telegraph.

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Think a couple of them formed a property development company when they purchased the land next to Higgs. That seemed to quietly be disposed off around the time Saracens were in the shit for getting round the salary cap by setting up dodgy property development companies. Just another one of those...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Agree with everything in that post but especially this. Problem at the moment is they want to prioritise the economy without telling people they're happy to sacrifice them. So we're stuck in this middle ground where we have one of the highest death rates and one of the biggest economic impacts.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    That's exactly it, all about the money. There are students who have been asking for their timetables prior to returning and being told they weren't ready, when they went back they were then told the course would be entirely online. But they were also told that if they left their accommodation...

    Save our standards - MPs reject amendment

    Seen farmers already saying they will have no choice but to lower welfare standards. If they don't they won't be able to compete on cost.

    6 championship clubs need bailout

    There's no reason for them to exist. Every contract should have a clause about wage reductions in the event of relegation.

    6 championship clubs need bailout

    Hearing the likes of Peterborough and FGR saying they are in favour of the plan reading between the lines the implication is they will never be sustainable Championship clubs. As we're seeing the gap between L1 and the Championship is huge. If there is a large group of clubs who feel similar...
