    Immigration and Asylum

    So when people make up numbers that go with what you want to believe that's fine. If someone else comes out later and makes up some bullshit figures suggesting immigration is really low that wouldn't really be relevant either. Just because people 'feel' something doesn't make them right. And...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    People that are supposed to have been in power for the greater good of the people they represent and end up doing the exact opposite so they can be paid to lobby for big business and the rich. Just because it's a common occurrence doesn't mean it's not an incredibly shitty state of affairs.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Monday 16th Feb

    Saka has been effective coming off the bench going forward and is more disciplined. Esse may be able to unlock their defence when things are cagey early on. Of course he may also do something stupid that leads to them scoring. I'd rather have a fresh Sakamoto who can run at tired legs but also...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Hmmm.... which one of those really couldn't keep it in his pants...? Mind you, why couldn't it have been a female? Why are you ruling out May? Or perhaps Truss managed to fit it into her crashing the economy schedule during her month and a bit?

    Offsides

    Doesn't make sense because if he's relying on the opposition getting back to play him onside before the kick, then they can still block him off. Plus he'll be standing still while they're moving so he has no momentum. I'd love for us to have one or two players stand 5 yards back and they run in...

    Six Team Play-Offs are coming

    But it's also not fair a team finishing 3rd loses out on promotion to a team in 6th. Why is 6th acceptable but 8th is nonsense? We've had instances where teams with over 80 points have lost out to teams with 60-odd. 20 point difference over a season and the team with the lower total gets...

    Loan watch

    One of numerous reasons why I'd scrap U21's for a reserve team, and limit the number of players on professional contracts at any one club to 40-50. Especially at top clubs where wages are so ridiculous that young men who are essentially trainees can earn more during an 'apprenticeship' than a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I thought they'd keep him in place until May as well, so he has to carry the can for the inevitable LE bloodbath. Gives the party a reason for getting rid of him in terms of policy/delivery and giving someone else a relatively blank slate.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Definitely invite them now and get them to explain why they'd cut the funding.

    I don't think "we know you're trying and it's hard, but you know you can do better and you're letting yourselves down" is really going to work from the stands.

    But is your 11yo being paid many thousands of pounds to do her SAT's, been getting straight A's and is all of a sudden getting E's (or whatever the stupid grading system is now) meaning she's getting dangerously close to missing out on attending a good secondary school that she looked a shoo-in...

    Our Two Strikers

    If there's anything astounding about how many goals Simms has got it's more due to his mentality rather than ability. Sure, he has deficiencies (his lack of ability to consistently trap a football always surprises me) but in terms of a goalscorer I think he is decent enough. If he wasn't so...

    That booing wasn't just a reaction to a single game. It's a culmination of nearly two months poor form, results and tactics that have seen us blow a comfortable lead at the top of the Championship. Fans are feeling a mix of emotions - disbelief, nervousness, anger, even fear we're going to...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Monday 16th Feb

    Common sense says we're going to struggle, and likely lose. Clutching at straws, we're at home and we have got good results against Boro in the recent past. Even more of a stretch, maybe now we're chasing rather than top some of the pressure will have been released from the players, or maybe...
