That middle three is a bit more solid. Not knocking Rudi but both Torp and Eccles are natural CMs

Bold team. Let’s hope they step up for the manager. Still would’ve fancied Wright down the left and Simms in the middle. Would’ve also given us more height for set pieces at both ends

The government has done some good stuff in this area to be fair*, Mahmood seems like she’s got some intelligence and backbone. WTF 8700 foreign offenders inc rapists and murderers were doing here to start with is another question *excluding the French one in one out scheme

‘The jury at Woolwich Crown Court had been deliberating for more than 36 hours after a trial that began in November 2025. Rajwani, Rogers and Devlin were found not guilty of violent disorder. No verdict was reached for charges of violent disorder for Head, Corner and Kamio. Corner was accused of...

Hmmm I could see how that’s maybe a defence for breaking and entering in this case, not sure it’s adequate defence for attacking a policewoman with a sledgehammer. Sets a dangerous precedent. Who would be a police officer

If you believe a person has served their time and changed their ways, then yes. Not sure if that answers your question or youre looking at it one step further ie friend of a friend of someone convicted. Again, I don’t see an issue with that I couldn’t remain friends with a convicted...

Not sure about respected man Pete…will be sticking that on my CV I try to be fair though and agree there will be plenty having a go at Starmer now that are doing it purely for political point scoring. My point was more that it will be the party not the opposition that will ultimately see...

To be honest Pete it will be people in his own party who decide his future and there’s a vocal lot, especially on the ideological left of the party, that want him gone. Who they think they’re going to replace him with that will turn things round, god knows. The country doesn’t want this shit...

I saw some video footage which I hadn’t seen prior to posting (had only read Dave’s article). Doesn’t look good. Then you hear the coppers injuries. You can’t be doing stuff like that

Doesn’t look good. After years of Tory melodrama I was hoping for a period of stability but nope, another government full of incompetence and infighting Im personally more concerned about the economy, public services etc than this type of stuff but things aren’t currently great there either...

Lucky not to be found guilty by the looks of things but I’m guessing the jury took pity ‘The trial heard the defendants "genuinely believed" their demonstration at the factory would help the Palestinian cause in Gaza.’ 🤦‍♂️ No point banging them up for being idiots but they should be fined...

https://www.thebusinessdesk.com/westmidlands/news/2107995-birmingham-council-no-longer-bankrupt-as-proposed-budget-includes-extra-130m Praise the lord. It was never bust to start with. Totally mismanaged by the council (Labour), managed to miscalculate a huge amount of liabilities, built a 500m...

It will be but football is about situations/decisions, what do you do when when you lose the ball, who else is tracking back etc Lampard obviously encourages FBs to push forward but I also think loose, sloppy play, poor ball retention and wingers not covering back has caused some of our issues...

Let’s be honest EMC is hardly a defensive workhorse. I know Lampard has avoided this like the plague but surely he’s got to consider Wright left and Simms down the middle, at least at home, whilst EMC is out. Both been in decent form Saturday aside

Had to reread that

It’s gone. We’re level again. We started unbelievably well (far better than expected from team/squad), now other teams are having a purple patch. Thats football. Still all to play for.

Most fans (over the age of 30) have supported this club through plenty of shit but in recent years we’ve had some amazing times; couple of promotions, FA cup run, the run to the plays off final. Stuff fans of many clubs could only dream of. Unfortunately this seems to have bred an entitlement...

Yeah, agreed, think we’ve been sloppy with ball retention recently and that’s caused more problems

It’s weird. They were playing as a decent unit before injuries (Thomas) and suspensions (Thomas and Dasilva). We would always give chances with a high line but were more solid, we just look a bit disjointed now. Again I don’t know if this is managers spotting weaknesses in set up and exploiting...

Agreed. Players struggling and low on confidence….i know what I’ll do, boo them I often do it when mates are struggling at work. Gives them a right boost
