FA Cup. We'll just have to accept winning the league by 17 points instead of 20. 😁

Without wanting to re-open the Brexit debate, the 'unelected' thing was always a bit of a myth. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lseupr/2019/02/19/is-the-european-union-governed-by-unelected-bureaucrats/ Regardless, agreed, the House of Lords is an ongoing shambles. Starmer said he'd reform it if...

Or can't be arsed because you haven't got any kind of argument that stands up to reason. Make your case if you've got one, we're all listening. Quit your whining about a bubble and have your say... Or, what's that saying, sometimes it's better to shut up and be thought an idiot, than to open...

Agreed. I don't think many (if any) professional footballers are any different. It's a short, perilous, career - you're one bad injury, or a drop in form, or simply a new manager that doesn't like you, away from it all going sideways. Who could blame COH for maximising his opportunities...

It's like heading, the key is not to be scared of it and attack the ball. 😁

Traditional hangover game. Cold day, silent crowd, two tired teams, 0-0, and feeling sick all the way home. So obviously, having predicted that, it'll end up a nine goal thriller with three red cards and an injury time 20-yard, knob-volley winner from substitute striker... Wilson. 😁

I'll have to dig that last one out. I'm not exactly a fount of knowledge when it comes to music, especially contemporary stuff, but you can't beat a great riff or lead break when you're in the right mood. Right now though, I'm going to stick on Classic FM and make a cuppa... I need to build...

Ooh, this is a fun one. Of the top of my head, I'm going for... Santana - She's not there. Blue Oyster Cult - Don't fear the reaper. Boston - More than a feeling. Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (Epic, but probably overplayed). Gong (Steve Hillage). Awesome guitarist, but if you can remember any...

Just before anyone else gets there...

Seriously mate, what the fuck are you on about? If you put out some spurious bullshit about Judaism being the religion of "an eye for an eye", something that is most definitely used as an anti-Semitic trope, then expect to be challenged on it. I'm apologising for your stupidity for repeating...

Relax a bit and read some of the eight billion Reacher books that are out there. They're a hoot, and the author is from Coventry (though unfortunately moved to Brum before the proper cultural values could take hold). In a similar vein, but arguably with a little more depth, anything by Elmore...

The fallacy here is that refs are useless. That's propagated by the endless focus on every contentious decision by men-children who've generally never done the job at any level and are analysing from the comfort of an armchair with endless slow motion. If you choose to tie your living or...

If it's ok for Russia to invade and occupy a democratic European country because some elements within it are blatantly corrupt, then we're fucked. It's probably the weakest argument I've heard to try to justify appeasement of Putin.

Yeah, as with the Judaism thing above, I think it's fairly obvious that most Christians (at least notionally) pay more attention to the words of Christ in the New Testament. The clue's in the name. 🙂

I'm sorry, but that's not a very accurate take on Judaism. In fact it's dangerously close to an anti-Semitic trope, I'd argue. The actions of the State of Israel in Gaza are, to my mind, unconscionable war crimes. But that doesn't mean that Jews or Judaism as a whole can be blamed. Ditto...

What cost us was not winning the game in normal time. Dabo was a good servant to the club, pinning this on one moment, by one player, isn't quite right, imho. As for VK, we got a bloody good deal; if he's worth even more now, fair enough - we'll still do ok out of it...

Name one time ever, when the sitting MPs of a party actively said, during an election campaign, vote for someone else? Corbyn had his faults, as above, but to pretend that there weren't MPs out there working against their own party at the last election time is ignoring the obvious. Stop trying...

That's funny because I don't remember the left abandoning Corbyn because of anti-Semitism. That's a very convenient lie, by someone who brazenly admits to being a backstabbing, conniving piece of shit. It was obvious that Corbyn had problems that the mainstream media were never going to let him...

Sorry @Ian1779 , not having a go at you personally mate, this VAR stuff obviously gets under my skin a bit, as does the endless focus on referees. I'm getting old and cranky, obviously. 😁

I'm thinking if you make it a red card offence then it stops it happening entirely. What difference does having a player off for ten minutes actually make? The obvious thing that will happen is that the team that goes down to ten, will now start time wasting for the next ten minutes. This will...
