It’s reasonable to think we’ll get 1 or 2 signings in, by all accounts we were chasing a CM and a CB (even that RB too) up until deadline day. I also don’t think Lampard would’ve took the job if there wasn’t no scope to invest in Jan/next summer either. He knows this job will remake or break...

When Haji gets back from injury, he’ll play upfront imo. So an axis of Sakamoto-Wright-EMC which to me has great balance. Longer term, I still believe EMC will be ahead of Sakamoto on the right with Simms upfront.

All of this is why I’m cautiously optimistic that Lampard will be a great manager for this team. He’s got top coaches working in his team and he himself has coached at the highest level. Lampard has said he’s used his time out to really focus on the game and tactics so it’s interesting to see...

Ngl, completely missed this today!!!

The Democrats were propagated the idea that Trump won because of Russian interference. To claim an outside power unduly swung an election towards one candidate questions the integrity of the result and the legitimacy of Trump’s first presidency. Likewise, Trump not conceding in 2020 was an...

QPR worked out nicely for me as I was in central London for work, Leeds was good for the booze up but was terrible game! You didn’t miss much! I wanted to do Burnley but Tuesday and Wednesday are my office days and didn’t have any leave. I live 4 hours away so wanted to get a coach in Cov...

Democratic processes only work when both sides agree on the outcome, i.e. a winner and loser. Both sides in this election raised concerns about voter fraud in this year’s US election, then the previous questioning of the results in 2016 and 2020. With the USA, you have 50 states doing more or...

Part timer… I’m in two minds about Cardiff too, I want to do it but the urge to keep my 100% record waned after missing Burnley away.

Precisely. I just wished we could’ve kept him that season we went up.

That universally applies to everyone on this darker side of the forum… 😂

It’s politics, there always is some element in self-interest in changes like this and boundary changes. To take your example, younger people would more likely to have (at least) a provisional driving license versus an elderly person. It didn’t themselves any good and younger people...

That I don’t disagree with, similar to how everyone gets their NI card when they turn 16 or 17 (whenever it was). Equally, I don’t see why people who have none of the 22 acceptable forms of ID can’t take the 2m to do the online application. We all accept that if someone wants to learn how to...

This is particularly evident the way Simms and Wright were randomly rotated out of the squad at times. It seemed random on occasion He scored 11 goals in the championship the season after he left us which was an improvement. We made a profit on him too, so it’s a successful transfer. As...

14,000 we’re actually turned away from the ballot box. So at best, 2.8% of that group were ‘suppressed’ and presumes that the 14,000 and 500,000 are a 1:1 relationship. That is, have no ID and refused a ballot at the polling station. In any case, there’s a new ID form which takes 2 minutes to...

The fix is simple, get the ID you require to vote if you care that much. I didn’t vote in the 2016 referendum because I missed deadlines for vote by proxy and mail voting. The election just gone, I voted by a proxy. My nominated proxy was contact for ID and so on, these are reasonable steps to...

How wishy washy. We agree on the universal suffrage part. I just happen to be in the majority of people who believe that ID laws are a reasonable requirement to vote as ID requirements is normal for many ordinary things. With rights, come responsibility and if you don’t have any form of ID...

Yeah, pretty much. Kicking up a fuss over 4% of voters without ID seems a drop in the ocean when voter turnout was 58.5% in the last election and in steady decline.

So the point is it’s not suppressing voters if the demographics don’t typically vote. Seriously, to not have any form of ID in a modern society, you’re pretty checked out of society. I’ve long stopped being ID’d for booze and in the summer was refused entry into a London pub (Challenge 25)…...

… and unlikely to vote in any case.

In the same way that not everyone who is eligible to get a driving license gets one. We accept that to reduce risk, we put in certain controls. In this case, Again, focusing on the people who actually were turned away from voting, there was probably a good reason they weren’t given their ballot.
