I struggled with the wording to be honest 😂 The point was more it’s a chant that started slagging off shit areas of the country which is a more implicit way to chant about poverty.

I seriously don’t know why there’s a fatalism that Ipswich will catch us up… It was much more obvious they’d break into the top 2 because Boro and the other teams were over performing the underlying data. Ipswich beat us handily, credit to them but those two games won’t be the difference...

It certainly does and I’ve outlined where the line is drawn. Joking around to ‘feed the scousers’ doesn’t really need to be policed. Nor, in the England context, about singing about WW2… As a general principle, we don’t need football clubs and FAs giving fans a set of approved chats such as...

He’s not really played and MVE plays or less every minute of every game…

Exactly, it’s the same as the ‘X place is a shithole, I wanna go home’. It was a social commentary at first but is copied and pasted so you get the strange situation of people from all over the country calling Oxford or Cambridge a shithole. Liverpool is a great city so the song is pretty...

Chanting about disasters should be clamped down on by clubs because it's really ugly. Clubs need to get a grip on and leave this stuff alone. No one at a Liverpool away game* is going in poverty, the banter is fair game. It's not like there's Forest fans gathering around a Salvation Army soup...

Unlike that season, the chasing pack are well behind. That season, you had the following after 25 games: 1) Leicester 62 points 2) Ipswich 54 points 3) Southampton 51 points 4) Leeds 45 What is the likelihood of any of the teams below us and Ipswich capable of getting 45-50 points between now...

He’s clearly streaky goal scorer too, he had runs last season where he’d score 5-6 games in a row. He needs tough love and by that, needs to be dropped and forced to work his way back in the team. His last goals were in October, he’s missed big chances in big games for us and Simms right now...

As league leaders, we don’t need to worry about anyone if we keep doing our job. The underlying data has said most of the season that Watford should be up to where they are now. Unfortunately for Watford, they’re not v good away from home. It’s the same with Ipswich, unless they completely...

With the greatest respect to who this next line applies to, but a lot of posters on here are temperamental. They panic over the smallest of provocations - 1 loss We all knew that December was the month that would stress test the team and overall, we did well. We were unlucky to not win v PNE...

In fairness, he doesn’t laugh his own expense and he went down the typical Labour cabinet minister excuse of ‘bad advice’. Personally, my view is that people will always try to reduce their tax burden and only apologise when they caught. Though that’s hardly an original view to have.

You’d also have to massively shrink state for that to happen. Broadly speaking, I’m a fan of generous tax allowances for families. The cost of everything and a generation of cultural malignment of parenthood has been prohibitive for young people starting families. The advice to people of my...

The Championship season is too long to not have a bad period. All the best Championship teams that were promoted all had ‘skid marks’ over the course of a 46 game campaign with several cup matches. Even when we won promotion from L1, we didn’t win away until Wycombe and this forum was...

Has that been confirmed? Might even open up the possibility that we sign Esse on loan with an option/obligation to buy. Esse could be one of those signings that might struggle in the Prem next season but will light up the Championship in 27/28 and have improved for a second run in Prem. Without...

That goal sums up why he’s not been playing to be honest. I heard a rumour that the coaches rate him technically but he’s far too weak and needs to bulk up. Perhaps he’s one to watch but there’s clearly work to be done and had JDS not been suspended, probably wouldn’t have played. The header...

It’s opposite, predominantly a left footed LW who can also play RW which strikes me as an ideal option.

Why not both? They play on the opposite wings and ideal situation for us to be able to swap out both wingers. Ipswich looked so sharp because players were able to rotated. A player like Jack Clarke was brought into their starting 11 from the bench on Boxing Day. EMC not starting against...

@Jimmy87 iirc.

I think people are sleeping on Simms to be honest. He’s got 8 goals since Nov which is a cracking return. He should start for the next few games at least. With BTA to come back, I’m not sure we’ll sign a striker, at least not someone as good as Ferguson.

Jimmy Carr has been coming out with some interesting things on the podcast rounds.
