    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Dec

    I'd politely differ there. He's just too slow to react to either the cross or the rebound. He runs over on the initial cross, over commits, and ends up way behind the line at the near post, then he's too slow/off-balance to get back in to the centre of the goal, where the ball slowly loops in...

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 11th Dec

    Arse. Not sure that there's much else to say. We're obviously lacking in confidence up front, and desperately in need of shoring up the spine of the team in midfield and defence. Not seeing much of a difference from Lampard so far...

    God yes, I hate all of that stuff. The only thing I'd have is the automatic braking that kicks in if you're about to ram someone, and cruise control for keeping your speed down through the roadworks. That's it. I can't bear the automatic handbrake on our Citroen, it either stays on when you...

    Heading the ball

    If the studies show that there is an increased risk of permanent brain injury from heading, and that it's worse in children (because their brains are still developing, and their physical structures are different), then my personal opinion is that it's quite right that we look to protect them...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Did you spend £3 to enter a fake vote in the General Election? Thought not. You haven't really thought this post through, have you.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    So just to be clear, when you're criticising Starmer, it's not to suggest that people should vote Conservative or even Reform instead?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm sorry that's rank hypocrisy. The Tories ran the criminal legal system into the ground. You're endlessly whining about a single case because it's upset you. In the meantime tens of thousands of other people are waiting years for their chance at justice, because under the last 14 years of...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If you're looking for someone to cheerlead for this government, you won't find it from me. That said, there is at least a vague semblance of decency and competence. An old fraud conviction and freebies by this lot (none of which I condone) can't possibly be used to justify the enormous...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Hmm. In my experience no two people define the word 'socialist' in the same way. Do you think Starmer is a socialist, for instance? It's almost a meaningless label, typically used as a pejorative. If you're talking about people looking to make the world a slightly fairer place, with less...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I suspect his problem is probably the opposite. A lot of the right wing nutters seem to have been farmed off to boarding schools so their parents didn't have to look at them. Lack of cuddles for them then, lack of empathy for others now, perhaps?

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Rhys-Mogg in his own words. Electoral Commission, independent report. No evidence of wide scale voter fraud, ergo no obvious reason for voter ID, except perhaps political. Try a bit of research, eh. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65599380...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Christ. Is there a conspiracy theory you won't fall for? Hunter's case had a thorough investigation, he admitted guilt. Yet here you are, banging on about 'Democrat apologists' whilst right in front of you is the rank hypocrisy of the people who whine about Biden pardoning his son, whilst...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Excellent. So you'll clearly be against Trump pardoning people for far worse gun offences and corruption than Hunter Biden has committed then, presumably? (There's a handy list here, if you've forgotten some of them...)...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    C'mon @Como and @SIR ERNIE, dead simple question, are you against presidential pardons or not? I'd hate for you to be wrongly thought of as hypocrites. Gosh would that be embarrassing. Set the record straight, eh. It's a really easy question...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    So again, just checking, are you for presidential pardons or against them?

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Ah, apologies, it's just you seem to be here mostly as a Trump apologist. But maybe I've misread you... Just to check, you're you're against Trump issuing pardons as well then?

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    If you're genuinely equating cheating on taxes and lying on a form when purchasing a gun, with a serious attempt to subvert democracy by Trump and his supporters, then I'm afraid you've gone a bit daft mate. I don't think anyone here agrees with the concept of a presidential pardon, but saying...

    Relegation fodder

    Bloody hell mate, I was feeling moderately confident until I read that. 😁 Joking aside, I see little previous evidence that Lampard is the sort of manager that gets a struggling team out of a mid-season hole, but I guess we'll see. Personally, I'd go old school. 4-4-2 with Simms and Norman up...

    Confirmed : Lampard Head Coach

    I wasn't claiming it was an insight, personally I see it as a significant negative. How long until those cheering on this latest appointment are on here baying for his head?

    Confirmed : Lampard Head Coach

    Every new manager wants his own staff and players. It's one of the reasons it's so expensive getting on the managerial roundabout. Give it a year or two, and we'll be doing this again with Frank's crew, imho.
