    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Controlled by who? I’m not sure I do know what ‘areas being colonised’ means in this context. For somewhere to be colonised there has to be someone doing the colonising, and you’re yet to explain who specifically that is. Yes, there are various groups of people looking to live by - maybe even...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Which other countries have taken over parts of the UK? Last I checked all the residents of Sparkhill are still subject to British laws, they still have to pay taxes to the British government etc. Our economic output isn’t arbitrarily seized or taxed by another country, nor are our elections...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Because the political and economic structures of this country haven’t been taken over in such a way as to be subservient to those of another one. That’s what a colony actually is, surely?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Parallel governance? Economy? You’ve lost me here. The mere presence of large numbers of foreign-born people speaking another language and not integrating does not mean a place has been colonised. Has Benidorm been colonised?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well not by any standard definition of colonisation it isn’t. What do you take it to mean?

    Who makes it in the Prem?

    I’ve always liked Haji on the left, but I think Lampard prefers a different kind of winger.

    The forgotten Ellis Simms

    I think some of his critics from last season are now priced in to downplaying his contribution this year, which as you say has been very good.

    The forgotten Ellis Simms

    Seems strange to single out Simms for praise after last night’s game, but even stranger to be singling him out for his overall performances this season.

    Rushworth

    There’s talk of Verbruggen moving on in the summer, in which case Rushworth would have a very good case to be the new #1 at Brighton.

    Tactically - Lampard is pretty good

    We’ve gone a bit more conservative and a bit more direct and it seems to have done the job. Onyeka certainly enables us to do that to some extent, but despite making loads of signings in January, most of them can’t get near the side and the side that Lampard seems to have settled on is mostly...

    Rushworth

    He seems more than ready for the top flight to me. Comfortably the best keeper we’ve had since….Kirkland? Hedman?

    Joel Latibeaudiere

    Definitely a limited player even at Championship level, but a real credit to himself this season. Goes to show what can happen when you trust in your squad.

    I don't know how he does it, it's awesome. Like he's playing a different game to everyone else on the team, but in a really effective way.

    Next season

    Think I misunderstood your original point, but regardless, if you think our fans are going to be placid if we spend all of next season rooted to the bottom of the table, I’d have to disagree.

    Next season

    I think if we finished rock bottom of the league then we would be mocked all season long. Doesn’t matter how long we’ve been out of the PL.

    You think we’ve drawn more ire from fans than Wolves this season?
