    George Floyd

    Genuine question - are there still police officers like that in the UK? When is the last incident of UK police brutality? Not condoning it in the least but I thought that this was more of a 20th century issue.

    George Floyd

    There appear to have been a lot of occasional knobheads present. Looking at some of the videos there is a constant stream of missiles being thrown at the police on horseback and at one stage a bike is wheeled at them. Indeed, I wonder if anyone present isn't a full-time knobhead.

    Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!)

    I think we need someone who is really really really really fast - faster than any player has ever been before; can dribble past anyone; two-footed; can shoot and score from anywhere on the pitch and also tackles so nobody can ever beat him. Ideally he'd also be brilliant at headers and can...

    Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!)

    The thing I find frustrating with Mason is his distribution - he loses the ball too often with stray passes. Sort that out and he could be good enough.

    Unbelievable!!!

    I reckon Tranmere could catch them.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Yep, I can believe that. But 90% death rate amongst over 65s is complete arse.

    Bollocks. Not even close.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    OK lads, I've worked out a way that will be OK for the current dissenters. I've calculated the final table but I'm still working on the rules which result in this. Do you think it'll be fine to fudge a few of them?

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Instead of weighted points per game, how about points per weighted game? Every player is weighted like a handicap horse race according to their abilities. Under this scheme, Lee Burge actually has weigh removed and consequently is able to float around the goal.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Not true. Peterborough College of Further Education have also done a prediction... and in that table Peterborough end up as champions.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Is there a method yet which would mean we skip the Championship and get promoted into the Premiership this season? How about PPPPGPG (points per points per game per game)?

    Outside the box idea to settle League 1

    I've got an off-the-wall idea too. It's unusual, so please clear your head of preconceptions and ride with it. Every team elects one player. They all get together two meters apart and are blindfolded and spun around in a circle by 23 referees, who then scarper. The theme music from Zorba the...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Can Peterborough go down? Can the EFL dock them points for standing on the cracks of the pavement or something? Those are the only circumstances under which I'd be in favour of playing out this season.

    Petition to ban a user

    Agreed. But we all have different opinions, some of them quite distasteful to others - once we start silencing people for homophobia what next? And, of course, the best way of persuading someone they are wrong is through example and engagement - not exile.

    What Books Are You Reading?

    Have a couple on the go. Just started the Gorse Trilogy (Patrick Hamilton) but also dipping into Camus's 'The First Man' and when I've only got 10 minutes reading one of Sholem Aleichem's 'Tevye the Dairyman' stories.

    Petition to ban a user

    I'm not in favour of banning anyone. I'm most definitely not on board with the current trend for 'cancelling' and 'no platforming' people. In this case it's probably a troll, but if it were a genuinely nasty person then having access to a chat site with tolerant people is the best treatment...

    Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!)

    Crikey, I floated Ugbo a couple of days ago as the kind of striker we may go for. I have no inside knowledge at all.
