    Supporters forum - 28th April

    Thanks for a thoughtful response. I think if I knew the answers to the first questions I could gauge whether there is any scope for one. Maybe all the other women supporters wouldn't be interested in one, which is fair enough. It strikes me that the women supporters are silent - none on...

    Supporters forum - 28th April

    Women supporters: 1) Do the club have accurate figures on how many women supporters they have - season tickets, casuals? If not, why not? 2) Do the club survey their women supporters to canvass their opinions? If not, why not? 3) Does the club have any plans to offer replica kit in women's...

    European breakaway league

    What's really p!ssing me off is the media focus on the fact that fans of the Big Six are against it. Are we to conclude that if they are OK with it all is well? How about asking fans of all the rest of the football pyramid? This must be fought tooth and nail or the game as we know it is gone...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If you see life as being Winners V Losers Strivers V Shirkers Patriots V Traitors Then you are an open goal for the Tories who use every trick in the book to paint themselves as Patriotic winning strivers and paint Labour as the home of wokes, shirkers, traitors and losers. Every tory voter I...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Which is a criticism that working people who vote tory level at Labour voters, and is a subtle way of calling them thick, I think.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Firstly the old working class has always had 'Alf Garnett' types who look up to toffs, dislike change and foreigners and have no sense of solidarity with their peers. My family, solid WC dad worked in car factory etc, has all my life had more tory voters than Labour. Secondly, Labour tribal...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I can't see the point of Labour any more. Until we stop talking about a mythical working class that hasn't existed for about 40 years they will go round in circles. Analysis of society along class lines is of no interest to most people. Working people no longer have any class solidarity which is...

    Anyone who loves choral music check out 'The Sixteen'. Sublime. Seen them live many times - Oxford, Birmingham, Worcester. They appear at Coventry cathedral occasionally.

    Derek Chauvin Trial

    If he didn't 'intend' to kill him why did he remain kneeling on his neck long after he was clearly dying? There is no doubt the man is dying and no reasonable person can deny that.

    O'Hare stats this season

    Whilst disagreeing with the OP, I feel bringing COH off the bench in the latter stages is worth doing at times. He may be our best player but he is very wasteful at times. If we only have one up front COH is given too much to do so I would not start him unless we have 2 strikers or someone to...

    School Protests

    As a retired RE teacher of 35 years experience, AT LAST, a thread I can claim expertise on. I will say this: Discretion is the better part of valour. Just like when teaching about pornography in PHSE you don't show actual porn images, in RE when teaching about blasphemy you don't show images of...

    Where there are kids there are paedophiles, it's as simple as that. Paedophiles are very cunning and often patient at grooming. They are also duping the other adults of course.We all have to be hyper vigilant. A child must only be alone with trusted adults and under scrutiny . Sad but true.
