    Biamou still has lots to offer

    It's a different situation obviously, but there's precedent in other sports for teams being punished for withholding medical info MLB suspends Padres GM A.J. Preller after investigation into Drew Pomeranz trade I doubt it ever goes that far, and yeah the medical kind of screws us, but I...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Nixon got a "full, free and absolute pardon...for all offenses against the United States" over the period of his presidency.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    This is the best article on ways it could play out if things are close/Trump refuses to concede. Long but good. Personally I think if the election doesn't look especially close, many of Trump's allies in government will abandon him quite quickly, but don't underestimate the number of Republicans...

    Biamou still has lots to offer

    It was a strange signing in the first place, especially for a fee, but him arriving with some kind of England-specific asthma condition took it to a farcical level. Not sure what went on with his medical, but personally I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of legal action against his old...

    US presidential Election 2020

    For someone who says Twitter is a cesspit you seem to get a lot of talking points from off there

    US presidential Election 2020

    For those of you convinced the polls are somehow clueless - if they were off by the same margin they were in 2016, the NYT projects Biden would win 335 electoral college votes. Election night itself could look pretty bad for Biden - the swing states that will report results the earliest happen...

    Man beheaded in Paris

    It sounds like the terrorists have done a pretty good job of amping you up for the religious war they're trying to incite.

    Biamou still has lots to offer

    We played the same formation regardless of Jobello getting injured for several games, lost a bunch of them, then changed it and got better. Did a similar thing in League Two when our form dipped, long after Jones got injured (Coincidentally our golden run at the end of the season saw Max come...

    Honestly find it amazing how much people seem to care about TV commentators (who I rarely notice) and pre/post-match panels. Genuinely didn't realise people watch this stuff and actually get worked up about it.

    Reasons to be optimistic...

    I will happily bet that every single current Championship team will still exist in 5 years time. Even at the current levels of insane spending. The only team I'd be worried about is us, and we're supposed to be the sustainable ones.

    Reasons to be optimistic...

    Could understand this mentality if you're a major investor. But as a fan? Nah. I don't care if the system is broken/the economics don't make sense - you play the game to win, that's why we're all here. We're not going to do an open top bus parade if we finish the season 24th with the healthiest...

    You've got to love all the people howling for subs all through the second half, then complaining that the subs MR makes are too late, only for us to immediately concede once we actually do change the formation.

    I hear you, but also we don't have a stadium so yeah (I'm sure the Warwick Uni project is getting closer though!)

    Personally I'm surprised we haven't already sent him back to Germany. Feel sorry for the guy, but with the health problems that he's turned up with, it appears we've been sold a dud, and I doubt we'll persist with him through that like we have with Jodi.

    What summer recruitment? We spent all summer furiously trying to get the League One band back together, and it shows. The only permanent additions have been an asthmatic German and a striker with more positive Covid tests than league goals.

    Man beheaded in Paris

    I'm only talking about that specific screenshot. No doubt there's plenty of lunatic accounts (real folk or otherwise) on Twitter saying it was justified, which is obviously indefensible.

    Experience needed?
