Logistically, it’s an easy away day… it’s just long! I’m happy they went down because they gave it stacks after they beat us. The whole ‘staying down’ looks a bit silly when we’re in the playoffs and they’re fucked off back to L1.

Sakamoto (and/or Sheaf) is probably the best player in the squad in winning the ball/tackling when joining a tackle as a second man. It’s one of those niche roles that managers are increasingly doing where they deliberately leave a player or two to effectively mark two players simultaneously...

Sakamoto’s defensive work was impressive today. It’s a really smart tactical tweak from the management to have Sakamoto defend really narrowly to support the CMs. Credit to MVE and Sakamoto today, they covered a lot of ground between them.

It’s a team of good individuals that don’t necessarily complement one another. They’ve got some cracking players on their day.

Rudoni is putting in performances akin to Hamer in 22/23. He’s given us that bit of X factor in these last few games!

I’d leave it until next week after the first leg. If we beat Sunderland by 2 or 3 goals, you can be safe in booking that flight.

At least you’ll be back in time for Wembley!

The game set up nicely for Boro because they had a high line in the 2nd half. Nonetheless, Asante made a big impact and deserves the start v Sunderland. 100% - Haji was class today, the intent to take players on and score was there. That 3 v 1 he passed up on without even getting a shot off...

Put a 7 fold accumulator on this morning and Sheff U drawing v Blackburn cost me £2000 in winnings. Gutter. Today’s result was never in doubt, from start to finish we were comfortably the better team. 5th place finish too, we should batter Sunderland over 2 legs.

No because I’ve given the reason why I liked it. It’s not untrue to state they’ve lost many councillors whilst many of the areas they have councillors haven’t had elections. It’s definitely mitigated their losses. Point 4 was an example of how the governing party tries to manipulate the system...

Any sensible Labour figure will be thinking they need another hard reset. The Red Wall would almost certainly turn teal if there was an election anytime soon. If Reform hit that 30% threshold that the electoral system favours you, that could be cataclysmic for the Tories and decimate Labour in...

Despite the correction, Derbyshire was also a Tory run council since 2017… We’ve gone down a rabbit role, the essential point why I liked the post was the rebuttal to this idea that Labour didn’t have a bad election night. They’ve lost support up and down the country and if they’d held support...

Did you know? That you can disagree with someone without being nasty… 😂 Most of the places you mention are voting in 2026? Kent is about as Tory as you can get so refusing that one particular postponement strikes me as odd. If you believe the Government didn’t want to mitigate any blows from...

You are projecting here about confirmation biases. Anyway, you and GIMOC to battle this one out. From my perspective, had the whole country gone to the polls, Labour would be facing much worse headlines today. Even today has seen them fall below the Greens in number of councillors. It does...

The part I ‘liked’ about the post was about losing 150 councillors because the reply was to someone downplaying the impact of the results on Labour. Seriously, you sound like a petty schoolchild ranting about who liked so and so’s post… 😂

You’re right, they’ve not lost 150 councillors… it’s 137 and voting is yet to end. The only reason the results don’t look as bad on Labour is because their historically bad 2021 performance lead to a disproportionate amount of Tory wins. If there was a general election tomorrow, there’d...

What is an important figure or factor? This just vague stuff Pete.

Reform is winning councils you’d expect Labour to be governing. County Durham being a Labour stronghold. Even in the Cambridgeshire mayoralty, Labour have slipped to 3rd and lost to both the Tories and Reform.

Yep, a quick google search confirms. It’s hit 10k already this year, a new record YoY. Labour’s whole schtick was that they’re not the Tories and will make things better… The electorate was quickly cottoned onto the fact they’ll make things worse.

The Greens… 🤡
