That’s roughly my view too. Our politics are not as broken as they are in the US but we are more polarised than ever before and it’s getting worse as certain topics bring out kneejerk responses from both, or all, sides. You get it on here too. You can hear the rage in people when they JUST CAN...

Thank you to all those who posted pictures of the poppy. Much appreciated.

I don’t want to hijack the thread but on a similar note does anyone have a pic of the prematch East Stand poppy? I was one of the white card holders but have no idea how it looked from the West. Thanks.

I don’t believe we ‘should’ have any points other than those we actually have. If we concede 2 late goals to Wolves, that’s our problem. Why should we deserve the win? If we should have beaten Wolves, then Newcastle should have beaten us in terms of the chances they had. Sorry, I know this...

I’m happy with them too but I think it’s wrong to write off D-H on the basis of him not playing much at Chelsea. He’s a good player and I bet will shine at Villa if he goes there.

That’s probably the worst idea if you actually don’t want the conversation to continue.

It’s great to be ambitious and positive but I fear we’re setting ourselves up for a fall by thinking top 4 is within our grasp just yet. Despite our good start to the season and great performances against City, Spurs, 10-man Arsenal and Liverpool (first half), we’re still hamstrung by a weird...

I never respond by asking a question or putting a counter argument -- unless I'm really in the mood for it. .I prefer to just say something like "Ah well" and change the subject. People quickly pick up that I've no interest in pursuing the conversation but also, that I'm not criticising them or...

F**k Palace. No need to bring them into a song about FH. And it seems to promote violence which one wouldn't want to encourage. In fact the 2nd line is terrible too. Not only does it not scan but it references things that mean nothing to most people. Fabian Hürzeler is a wholesome chap. He...

I think I'm like a lot of people in the East Stand, or certainly where I am (ESU towards the South). I'm not going to start singing on my own but if a few people round me get going then I'll join in. Also, I go on my own which makes it harder to strike up on my own. If I was with a few mates I;m...

I’ve no doubt some are worse but I don’t think it’s true that "very few are better". Not many are perfect but plenty, probably most, are better. What varies I think is the willingness of people to put up with it. If I was a lot younger I think I’d be far less bothered. I’d be with my mates and...

I don’t buy this rolling stock thing. I can’t believe that there aren’t, somewhere on the network, a few retired carriages in a shed somewhere, that couldn't be pressed into service on a small number of occasions. If not on the local network, then somewhere else. We’re not asking for brand new...

OK, I was going by the figure in the top left today. Maybe that's aggregated followers across channels? Not sure. Anyway, quite a lot!

He has a massive YouTube presence with more than a million subscribers, and he appears on TalkSport. He's actually very high profile, relatively speaking.

Sorry, you’ve lost me there.

No one’s going to finance this (assuming they could even get the land and the licensing) for the sake of 20 events per year. As has been said, the great majority of people just want to get away, especially evening games.

Well done.

There was a brief kerfuffle in the City end which I think was some idiot shouting something and immediately being shushed by the decent people around him.

At last. I'm full of praise for the club in most ways but despite the excellent travel subsidies, they have failed to accept the fact that it's not enough, and that travel is still a nightmare for many fans. If they won't grasp the nettle it's time this was escalated to another level. It's not...

Seems a bit uncharitable. I thought he behaved well after the game. His long post-match interview on 5 Live was reflective and emotional but at no point anything like a 'hissy fit'. Maybe I missed something?
