    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 1st Mar

    Easy to overreact, but it just feels like Simms is so hot and cold it's ridiculous. It doesn't help that he still doesn't seem to have any kind of partnership with Wright. It's obviously unfair to put it all on one player, no one really covered themselves in glory, but boy it's frustrating...

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 1st Mar

    Just not enough spark (or spite) in the side at the moment. I know we can play beautiful football, but we need to start getting a foot in and rattling them a bit too. Tempo is also far too low, West Brom are cruising this...

    I'm all for free speech, but anyone who claims election interference needs to suffer some sort of legal consequence if they're shown to be just making it up. This is a dangerous road to go down, and like Trump, will be used to justify all kinds of horrendous statements and behaviour.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    No doubt Galloway's an unpleasant arsehole, but if we're serious about influencing Israeli government policy, an economic, academic, and sporting boycott is probably the only lever available to us. Criticism of the Israeli state should not be allowed to be conflated with anti-Semitism, and nor...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    A braver politician might see that and go for it, but Sunak is a coward to his very core. Like Johnson, and I suspect many in the Tory party, Sunak has no real beliefs behind his politics, it's just a vehicle for his own personal quest for power and glory. (What worries me is the thought that...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    You have my full sympathy mate. Fwiw, and especially given the state of English rugby at the moment, I can't see anyone serious investing in this. It's dreamers and chancers, just like the last time, gulling the naïve and the corrupt in the local council. Just like the last time. It'll probably...

    Sky Blue Song

    That's a great call-and-response tune. I'll just make the observation that Cal-lum-O-Hare scans quite nicely into the first line of it, and leave you to make up the rest. All I request is a songwriting credit (and 50% of the net profits before tax). 😁

    Sky Blue Song

    Sacrilege! We can't drop "our" song. If you can't hit the high notes, just shout that bit - it's not an audition, it's passion!

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    "How likely would you be to subscribe to a TV channel if Wasps were available to watch?" Good Lord. As to wanting to play in a division that shares their values, they haven't got any bloody values, so that will be tricky. As for sustainable, that's for the birds too. If they want a...

    Six nations 2024.

    In fairness, Scotland as a whole looked like they had a vague idea of what to with the ball when they were attacking... Watching England isn't as much fun as it used to be!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    As for toys out of the pram and fussing about semantics - for Christ's sake, it was Labour who ran flapping to the speaker whining about it all, not the SNP. Edit: Before SNP's opposition day motion, obviously. Again, simple question, if Labour were so keen on a ceasefire, why didn't they post...

    And a total reversal of logic again. If all parties wanted a ceasefire, why not simply vote for the SNP motion as proposed? Funny how no one who says the SNP are playing politics seems to be able to answer that very simple question.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You're supporting the side that were up in arms mate, it was Labour who couldn't get their arse in gear behind a ceasefire declaration. That's a matter of inconvenient fact I'm afraid. If it's not a big deal, as you keep saying, why not just support the SNP motion or allow a free vote on it...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Now I'm afraid you're making stuff up. Can you tell me, for example, which way Penny Morduant voted. Stephen Kelly? I'm honestly staggered that you think there's something more important than our government trying to have some influence on one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our times...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Just a couple of points, because of the chaos the motion wasn't really voted on... particularly by the government. And actually knowing where individual MPs stand is impossible to determine. Regardless, if it was as simple as everyone wanting a ceasefire, then why didn't the original SNP motion...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don't understand this point of view at all, it's an absolute failure to understand how foreign policy works. We were involved at the start of this whole mess when Israel was established, we've got a seat on the UN security council and hence a permanent veto on their resolutions, we trade with...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure what they'd find, mate. If you've only got one brain cell to process with, I guess you can't afford to burden it with unnecessary emotions.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Speak for yourself, our kid! I've done plenty of things that I can justifiably feel ashamed of or embarrassed about, but voting Tory isn't one of them. 😁 In the meantime, back on topic, having stuck up for the SNP's right to raise their own motion on Gaza, it feels to me that refusing to accept...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Because it wasn't a "better motion" in their eyes, obviously. They called the debate because it's a cause they've been behind for a long time. Again it's a trap entirely and 100% of Labour's own making. Until very recently Labour couldn't even bring themselves to mention a ceasefire, let...
