    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Trump's already a puppet, there's no need to replace him, nor would his arrogance allow it, surely. He'd rather have a coup than leave the White House, we've seen that already...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Yep, and despite all of this, there's still a very good chance that he'll win, looking at the latest polls anyway. Proof, as if it were needed, that bullshit baffles brains. You've literally got blacks and Latinos voting for a racist, women voting for a misogynist who wants to take away their...

    Robins on CWR

    How many unsuccessful managers would we have to cycle through to find a successful one, is the question I'd ask here. The idea that swapping out a struggling manager for a new one, somehow magically resolves all your problems, simply isn't borne out by evidence. We've seen that both at this...

    Match Thread Preston vs. Coventry City - Match Thread - Sat 19th Oct

    Not enough fight in the team. No tempo. We have twenty minutes of turning their defence around after half time, get them flapping, and then stop doing it. Immensely frustrating.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Read the article and look at the concerns that the charities directly involved in mental health have. Note also the distinct lack of evidence; where are the studies quoted, for example. And then join the dots with regard to Labour's approach to welfare, now and in its recent history, and ask...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm sharing this again, because it's ominous. Anyone who's had any recent experience of mental health provision in this country will know it's on its knees. Instead of pressuring seriously ill people (and trust me, if you've been admitted into a hospital with a mental health issue these days...

    Yes mate, on this, you clearly are.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Putin did it to overthrow a democratically elected European government that wouldn't bend to his wishes, and because he thought it would be over in a couple of days. It wasn't over in a couple of days because the vast majority of Ukrainians were willing to fight to preserve their freedom. You...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Southgate mark 2, except less media friendly. I liked Carsley as a player, and I'm sure he's an entirely decent bloke, but he's no more attack minded than Southgate was, and any decent team will embarrass us if we just sit on the ball and wait for things to happen. It's just tedious in the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Fuck me, there's plenty more mate, it's just I'm a bit busy! 😁 It's funny though, how a bloke you lauded for "political hygiene" is actually so sodding useless at it. Let's be honest eh, turns out he's a bit of a grifting, lying, incompetent twat, who doesn't think well on his feet - he's not...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm not sure about lying exactly, but it's definitely a lack of precision which is a little surprising in a barrister. His uncle's ship was either bombed or struck by missiles. It's a minor point really, but it's got a hint of the "dad was a toolmaker" vibe about it - over leveraging a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Possibly, although I don't think she's got a filter. That impulsive nastiness within her, and let's be honest she's an odious person, might be more exposed as leader of the party.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Exactly that. BadEnoch would just complete the seeming capture of the Tory party by the right-wing culture war loons. I suspect a rebellion would play out in fairly short order from the slightly more sensible MPs, but who really knows. Capture from the right of a party and brooking no...

    The “too many cooks” theory

    Ah, I miss those fun filled days. Alas, two turkeys do not an eagle make. That ship has sailed. 😁

    Mate, you're an old cynic. Doesn't mean you're wrong though. 😁

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    Chopping and changing managers in an endless search for success is an awful model. Look at Stoke and Watford. Trust the bloke you've got, the one who brought the club back from the brink, and the one who has dealt with far worse situations and come through it all. Robins has earned that...

    Having kids, it's a bit like relegation from the Premiership: the first twenty years are the hardest. 😁

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    For clarity, it wasn't exactly an invitation, it was paid for. In essence, it seems the DJ charges for the "invitation" to be on the decks with him. As such, like it or not, it's a paid for gift - the DJ was paid by his agency for her to be "invited". Now you're either in favour of politicians...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers Match Thread - Tuesday 1st Oct

    Chuffed to bits with that performance. I think the primary difference was attitude. The tackles were going in right from the off, and we were looking to shift the ball forward much more quickly. In fairness to Robins, I think this is exactly what he said he wanted in the Leeds post-game...
