    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Good luck telling people their living standards are going to fall. Growth is not at all unsustainable by its nature. That’s a completely ahistorical take. You also don’t need more people for growth, because it’s per capita that matters. Overall though, I don’t really want to live in a country...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Doesn’t matter what we do for growth at this point. We just desperately need it. Personally I’d do green infra, EU ties, house building, planning reform and work to improve the VC landscape in the UK to help startups as well as legalising weed. But literally anything would do as long as it’s not...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We shouldn’t need green levies. If I were a cynic I’d say they’re introduced to give ammo to the right. Insulation and renewables are economically viable in their own right. If you want to fund green infrastructure and don’t want to borrow for some mental reason, just bring a carbon tax in and...

    Championship out of contract players June 2024

    Would genuinely take Walsh as cover for Torp

    Get that clown out of goal

    Funny cos last game he played the away commentators couldn’t stop raving about Collins passing ability.

    We don’t need to spend millions on every player. First team AM, LB and GK maybe. We have about 6 first teamers likely leaving to wages should be OK.

    It’s a learning process for everyone. If we do fall short hopefully King takes note. As long as he’s not refusing resource and expecting instant results it’s fine.

    Collins distribution is significantly better TBF, particularly his long balls.

    Don’t you have to even give a name or anything? How can you sell a slot on?

    Ellis is big dog now

    I mean he scores goals. I’m just not sure how you play football for a living and still can’t trap a ball is all.

    Half of SBT in the other thread. Claimed playing Lusala and Andrews against Maidstone would be the end times.

    Ellis is big dog now

    £3,5m for a 22 yo striker at this level isn’t a lot of money.

    Seemed to be after Covid. Maybe long term symptoms? Particularly brain fog might do it.

    We need a win really. Can’t see us getting much vs West Brom. And the games only get harder from here. We need to be looking to win pretty much all our home games. But yeah really worried if Torp is out. Big drop in forward passing quality without him or sheaf.

    Ellis is big dog now

    I thought that but looking at his highlights he’s always been like it. Baffles me how a pro footballer can have such a bad touch, I’m not sure if seen him cushion a ball once.
