    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Hmmm. That question is a bit loaded and gives an answer at odds to most polling in the last decade. That’s fine. You can tell them that we can’t afford to run a country any more. You want to not pay for anything then we need to cut spending. Probably starting with the pension and the NHS.

    I don’t think Eccles is fine as first choice for where we need to be.

    Robins & His Band Of Merry Men

    I think so, but I also think we’re lacking cock and balls generally, on and off the pitch, compared to last season.

    Really we’ve got Eccles as a decent backup 8, Sheaf as a decent starter 6, Rudoni as a 10, and Palmer/Allen/Torp as backup. Need a first team 8, a backup 6 who can take over from Sheaf next season, and to let go two from Allen/Palmer/Torp (probably the first two). That’s how you sort the...

    Robins & His Band Of Merry Men

    I think we faltered when Saka got injured and our right side got messed up. But we collapsed when the Utd game came into view. It’s a big season no doubt, but four games in having won two drawn one isn’t the time to start putting scare stories about us being terrible for months together. It’s a...

    Things that annoy you

    My eldest is 14, maybe not now but when she’s a touch older I’d let her and any mature sensible friend she had go. It all depends on the kid. Some 18 year olds I wouldn’t be comfortable letting out my sight. Some 12 year olds can probably get themselves to another country with no hassle. It’s...

    Robins & His Band Of Merry Men

    You can’t start stitching seasons together. After the Utd game we were on the beach.

    Alsopp has done nothing wrong IMO. People need to stop babying teenagers. She’s a prick, but calling social services is a waste of important resources.

    One number off as well cunning move to hide, but should have picked a more popular player.

    Were two CMs short let’s be honest: a partner for Sheaf and backup for Sheaf

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah this has been the counter argument since 2008. Rich people are leaving anyway because other countries are already better to live in. I just don’t buy that it will have such a massive impact. The idea the rich will run away and leave all productive activity in the world’s fifth largest...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    My worry is we got gazumped on Stamenic and Madsen, so we have another far enough along in the pipeline? I really don’t want a Kitching situation where we sign Kyprianou for £8m on deadline day.

    Because you and I don’t have the ability to write a column in The Times with a quick email when we don’t like a tax policy.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    In the past when we had a worldwide crisis leading to large amounts of government debt, we soaked the rich. Just saying. I (and by all polling a majority of the British public) am obviously on the side of higher taxes and a working state. But I can see the arguments on the sensible sliver of...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don’t think we as humanity or Western civilisation are close to the end. I think this country has managed between the treasury and the great British love of a moan managed to make it so we refuse to take any action. The political landscape is so narrow and shallow and the media landscape so...

    Cant imagine our fans being happy to put a reserve team out against a PL side regardless of the competition.

    Didn’t realise Norwich had Palace away, They’re likely to play a full strength side right? Plus a fair amount of travel. Should do us a favour.

    Wilson Lats Thomas Kitching Dasilva Torp Allen BTA Palmer Saka Bassette I’d give EMC a start against Norwich and rest MvE both can get half an hour here. Hopefully a CM in by Norwich and Sheaf able to play a part.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s all fucked Pete. If we were a company we’d either be sold off for parts (arguably already happened in the 80s), or loaded with debt to try and rebuild. If you’re not willing to raise revenue or debt then managed decline is all that’s left.
