20 goals in 316 professional appearances just screams quality.

He got round his man with relative ease, but ultimately not much came of it bar one chance. I wouldn’t go for him.

It’s our inability to take chances. We nearly threw away our lead against Bradford and they would’ve put everyone they had behind the ball. Too many missed chances and too many goals from set pieces against the ‘lesser’ teams.

Robins out!

If the recruitment team can find someone better, we should do it. Although, I'm keen to see how Shipley gets on in the middle during this last stretch as we may not need another CM if he plays well. It's a difficult one because Kelly is vital to our team, yet is quite injury prone and signing...

If we don’t make playoffs, I want Sunderland to get promoted via the playoffs. They arguably have more resources available than Wolves when they came down here. So, I don’t want us to have to compete with that and another batch of Championship sides. Bolton in recent years have been too good for...

If the Butts could be renovated to hold 20+ thousand I’d lean a bit more to the Butts. But that’s v unlikely even if it was possible. Therefore, I’d prefer us to stay at the RICOH and wait out Wasps.

Which is what I said, so we’re in agreement. The Government lost seats, and the consensus is that May’s campaign in 2017 was one of the worst in modern history. I’m sure you expected Labour to be ‘wiped off’ of the map. Or if you want to go off just %s would you say Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour...

Definition of unprecedented: ‘never done or known before’. In my lifetime Blair won 43.2% of the vote. Thatcher won with 43% a few times and Major 42% of the vote. So 4 prime ministers in your lifetime have achieved that figure. Another 2 or 3 elections from Margaret Thatcher have had the...

It’s peculiar because you have to go back to 1970 for the last time both Labour and Tory achieved more than 40% of the vote. A return to ‘two-party politics’ if you like. The Lib Dem’s actually performed marginally worse (in relation to vote share %) than expected. The 2017 GE was fought with...

Yes I think you do because you’ve clearly misinterpreted something I’ve said. You said: I’ve taken exception to this because the 2017 General Election proved this wrong. Firstly, Labour performed much higher than expected as the polls predicted a comprehensive win for the Conservatives with a...

At least they have a stadium to mock...

... An undercover Sunderland would say that!

Why have you looped Labour, Lib and 'other' parties in together? I may as well as reply 'if you combine every party's vote share, you reach 100% of the vote'. It's stating the obvious, frankly. Before 2017, the last time the Tories won more than 40% in a GE was in 1992, and you have to go back...

I didn't quote an opinion poll, use of 42.4% for the Tories and 40% for Labour is the 2017 General Election result, which again is not an opinion poll. There's not really much you can argue with here. I may as well quote polls since you insist I have, and the polls show a drop in support for...

“Labour doesn't have much more than the hard core Labour voters presently. Corbyn as leader hasn't got many floating voters on Labour's side. If he had Labour would be running away with it.” Yes you did. 40% is not based on polls. It’s based on the 2017 general election result.

You’ve argued that Labour’s support is only limit to hardcore support. By your logic, 40% of voters are hardcore Labour. I like to use polls as they’re helpful, but ultimately, but haven’t been able to predict the outcomes of the last 3 elections. The Tories polled at 20% and more ahead of...

Unprecedented? No, but the difference is more 42%+ in recent times would guarantee a pretty comprehensive majority. So to get 42.4% and lose seats is pretty bad. But, both the main parties shared 80%+ of the vote share for the first time since 1970. In modern times, that is unprecedented. My...

People said that in 2017 and Labour increased its vote and seat share.

Theresa May won't go for that because it will cause even more disunity in the Tory party, that's her #1 priority, to keep the Conservatives in power.
