    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Im aware that plenty are still getting bogged down with planning committees. Got a mate in the industry and he said at least at his local level (not midlands) nothing has changed ie committees sticking their noses in/delaying viable projects which eventually get through on appeal anyway….by then...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To add to the £100m bat tunnel for HS2, the £300m lower Thames Crossing planning costs and the fact that due to obstructive planning committees we had least number of houses built in a decade in ye March 25 This country is bogged down in so much bollocks that just isnt compatible with a one...

    Attendances

    I think the pricing was OTT but if baggies had been on a decent run of form and the weather was better, we’d have got a fair few more Saturday. Throw in the kick off time and it being on TV, all in all a good turn out

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It was Centrica (British Gas) who closed the most recent storage facility in 2017 by looks of it. Government refused to subsidise it. Part of successive governments solid energy security plans !!

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It has and I think it’s due to totally end by 2027. You cannot fund your enemy and then wonder why they’re still going strong 3+ years later. Sure I read that the Russian energy purchases have outweighed the financial support provided to Ukraine

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Yeah, that’s the bit where we can’t really have any complaints. This isn’t really trumps war and he’s got a point when he talks about Europe continuing to buy oil and gas from Russia (idiotic and when you look at what some of them are paying for the electricity unit price makes us look like...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 25th Nov

    If we draw away against our rivals and beat them at our place we’ll be hard to stop even at this early stage. I know what you’re saying and obviously I’d love us to win but I’d take a point here and Ipswich as it removes opportunities for them to reduce the gap

    Simms and Assante

    As a minimum we’ve got sakamoto, Rudoni, BTA, Simms, Mason Clark in and around the starting line up (presume wrights not available), most clubs in this league would give their right arm for that. All won’t start. Depending on recovery, wouldn’t be surprised to see Rudoni and BTA start on bench again

    Yeah, saw it on X yesterday. Putins wish list

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It’s ridiculous. To suggest limiting Ukraines army when they’ve just been invaded is frankly idiotic. Obviously it will never be accepted so why even include it ?! Hope it can at least open up negotiations to enable them to find a proper peace solution but I can’t say I’m overly confident

    Immigration and Asylum

    Yeah, I think people just count the boats but I think there was 100k+ claims last year. ps fair play to Mahmood for trying to address this and burst Reforms bubble. I doubt any genuine asylum seekers seeking safety and sanctuary will give a shit about the changes

    Matt Grimes

    I Id been telling a couple of baggies mates that he was under the radar our most important player…. five mins in, thanks Matty ! Showed up the rest of the game though. Couple of really important chases back/blocks

    Match Thread Coventry City v WBA Sat 22nd November 25 12.30 KO

    Yeah, got to expect that now. Baggies mate who was there said it was the best they’ve played for a while Fair play to the lads today, didn’t let heads drop (unlike the load of our fans that headed to the bar when they scored their second), we just raised our game. Would’ve been interesting if...

    Bit early for that. Batsmen need to get their heads in the game quickly though

    Get Brook and Root on to bowl and save the quicks (only half tongue in cheek)

    Biggest frustration is we’ve given out of form Aussie batters a chance to play themselves into form without scoreboard pressure final innings.

    Not sure there was that much hype. Batting line up always fragile and while we’re 0-10 for 1 constantly that’s not gonna change. Our bowling attack is great when fit but batters need to back them up. Agree, along with India away, it’s still the ultimate test

    Could’ve done with that archer wicket sticking. Feels like we might be 50 or so light
