    Match Thread Coventry City - Rotherham United FC Match Thread - Tuesday 5th Mar

    Unbelievably cringe, imagine one of our celebrity fans doing that after a few Ghost Town lagers. Probably struggle to remember the players’ names.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Rotherham United FC Match Thread - Tuesday 5th Mar

    If we’re planning on playing with a back 3 for the rest of the season then tomorrow night is a good opportunity to try and bed that in, against some pretty vulnerable opposition. It obviously won’t be a training session, but it will be the easiest game we have left to play by some distance.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    No, I think they can be quite useful, so long as you have half a clue about the subject matter at hand.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I didn’t say I disagreed with him! I think Biden’s electability is generally under-rated, and that was also the case in 2020. Obviously, in a vacuum, you’d want a younger and more dynamic candidate. And there is surely someone else out there who could beat Trump handily in November. But we’re...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    An alternative Dem candidate could conceivably have been a better option than Biden, but it’s far from a sure thing and the time to get them in place would have been several months ago. The closest comparison would be LBJ refusing to seek a second term in 1968 and that ended with a crushing...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I also think the controversial actions of our allies - especially those actions which are backed by our own government - are naturally better fodder for debate and criticism than those of obviously bad actors like terrorists or criminals who never claim to be anything other than our enemies.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I don’t agree that “sympathy for Hamas” is “obvious” on here, although you’re not the first to make that claim. If there are clear examples of that, then share them. I’d say the reaction on this thread could be broadly comparable to criticism of the Iraq War - a purported counter-terrorist...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Could you point to two or three of these posts on here that express sympathy for Hamas?

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    They were from the Pentagon. In fairness, those numbers themselves have been disputed, but even if they were exaggerated by a huge margin I don’t see how it changes the moral calculus.

    Just a thought

    The idea that our success this year can only be determined by league position is what I think is a short-sighted mindset. I agree with you that loans would have been welcome in January. I disagree with you that if we miss the playoffs, it means the team has gone backwards. We have a young core...

    Just a thought

    Just ridiculous short-termist thinking. Your nostalgia for the previous ‘model’ ignores the reality that it was completely unsustainable. Our success in previous years came about despite our refusal to give Robins a long-term platform to build on, not because of it. His ability to pull a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s undeniably vacuous but I assume that’s kind of the point when you’re being interviewed for the Telegraph’s weekend supplements. Or do they feature more articles on MMT than I give them credit for?

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Obviously yes? “In war people die” is a pretty handy get-out-of-the Hague-free card, but given the scale of the civilian death toll in Gaza it doesn’t put Israel in great company.
