    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The only firm decision I have made is that I'm not voting Labour again while Starmer is the leader. As I said in my last post I feel politically homeless, so someone is going to have to work hard if they want my vote.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    For the record I have over the years voted Labour, Conservative, Social Democratic and LibDem. The party which most accurately represented my views was the Social Democrats. I don't know which way I will vote in the general election other than that, as I have said, I will not vote Labour while...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Do you really think Starmer will deliver on his promises? When addressing a divided nation over Brexit he came up with a ridiculous policy of negotiating a so-called better deal with the EU, calling a referendum and then campaigning against his own deal. When seeking votes from the membership...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    They clearly haven't "destroyed" the country, a few individual MPs of all parties including the Conservatives have disgraced themselves and the people have made a pretty good job of stoking division. I'm not particularly looking forward to another Conservative government unless they can come up...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You can't possibly jump to that conclusion because I haven't decided yet. It will have to wait until the party manifestos are out. The choice seems to lie between a Conservative Party that has run out of ideas and a Labour Party led by Keir "No Principles" Starmer who simply tells his audience...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Absolutely. Labour refused to voluntarily return the Tobacco Gate money and only did so when pressured by the Parliamentary watchdog. The Lib Dems have form as well. They flatly refused to return £2.4 million received from Michael Brown, who was convicted of defrauding people of tens of...

    Can we avoid an innings defeat? Seems highly unlikely, which is a shame as it is all we have to fight for. ☹️

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    I don't think that is an accusation that you can fairly level at him. Jay Bothroyd was probably the last player of ours who just strolled around in an idle fashion.

    Top 5 Goals of the Robins era

    My memory is awful as well. Have we scored since the famous Ernie Hunt goal following the donkey drop by Willie Carr? 😊

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    My point is simply that if he was lacking confidence - an important commodity for strikers in particular - giving him abuse is likely to make things worse. We need to get behind our players and support them if we are going to get the best out of them.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    In his early days with us the general feeling seemed to be that he lacked confidence. Yet still a lot of fans abused him, when what he really needed was our support. Despite this he has knuckled down, scored some goals and is showing why the club bought him in the first place. He is proving...

    Championship thread 23/24

    Correct. I meant to say we need Norwich to lose to them, although I think a draw is OK for us if we win.

    Championship thread 23/24

    We need Hull to lose at home to Rotherham. That won't happen.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    It's great to see Simms coming good at last. 😊

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Absolutely. The bad news is that we will lose him in the summer. ☹️ All the Premiership teams that can't sign Haaland, Kane or Gykores will be in for him. Hopefully Doug King won't take a penny less than £100 million. 😊

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

    As with several of the other goals he has scored for us he was very alert to the opportunity.

    What would our survival odds be if we went up?

    Astonishingly, according to the player ratings on the BBC website, Gus was their best outfield player! When you think that his rating was 3.30 and Arsenal's worst player out of the 16 who took to the pitch was 6.13 (most were 7+ and 8+) it shows the gulf in class.
