Nigel Farage says the political elite want to stop Brexit. Rees Mogg and Johnson are the absolute epitome of the political elite, and they are in the forefront of the campaign to make it as extreme as possible. I think the world 'elite' must have changed its meaning while I wasn't looking...

It should be called Top 6 Match of the Day. The absolute essence of everything that is wrong with modern football. Stooges reporting on a money - led procession.

By far the best article I have read about the whole sorry episode. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/18/europe-brexit-britain-state-politics-fit-for-purpose

So where do we go from here? Everything in Parliament is in stasis. There’s no majority for anything except, bizarrely a continuation of the Tories’ inept, hapless government - thanks to the support of the DUP, MPs for the politics and culture of 1690, which says it all. Corbyn didn't win his...

Corbyn is absolutely right that no deal must come off the table in any Brexit negotiations. No deal benefits nobody apart from a few City speculators - who of course are often Tory party donors. Is that the reason May won’t rule it out I wonder? Millions which could be spent on the NHS and...

So on the eve of a doomed parliamentary vote brought into being by a ludicrous referendum which should never have taken place, I say simply this. There was one party which foisted this nightmare on the country - the Tories - aided and abetted by 40 years of luridly xenophobic headlines in the...

The fellow on the left is Alex Hall, beer organiser of our Glastonwick Festival for 24 years despite living in New York for the last 15 or so. He comes back to help run it every year so he is totally up to date and got Barber to sign his Seagulls Ska CD last night :) Scarf is a 'We Are Premier...

Then as now as often as possible (much easier to organise in the old days of course when we were in the lower divisions and kick off times were always Saturday 3pm) post match gig - at the lovely Barrels, set up by Chris, editor of the Hereford fanzine Talking Bull, several months previously...

Absolutely superb programme. For me one of the crucial decisions was to stop drinking at home completely and to make it an exclusively pub-based and gig-based activity. Makes a big difference.

The funny thing is that many of the attacks on Jones seem to be based around his youthful appearance, and come mainly from much older people, keen on reiterating the manifestly ludicrous concept that radical Leftism is a by product of impetuous youth, and that as people get older they become...

The Spectator is turning into a horrible, irresponsible cesspit full of posh fascists. Owen Jones is brave, articulate, politically absolutely spot on and sometimes a bit annoying.

Blimey, it's still going on. I have just had a read and there really is a large variety of opinions on there, as I thought there would be. And ironically the last post is from THPP endorsing the reason I posted the question in the first place. Just because something doesn't affect me doesn't...

I don't think you'd have made that accusation if you weren't aware of me previously but simply saw the post of a long time supporter asking for thoughts on the relevance of a fans' organisation today. There honestly was no agenda other than that, as most people seem to recognise. The cycling...

No worries this end. I have a very thick skin, and most people take my post in the spirit in which it meant. There are some who just want to have a go, and would do so if I posted about how brilliant the new Laibach album is, or something :)

Cycle race sometime? :)

I'm not setting anything up, not going to tell anyone what to do, don't want anyone to look at me, not getting involved any more, just want to drink beer and watch football. I was just asking for an opinion, which I might pass on, and you and the inevitable THPP want to make it personal and...

Barber is incredibly dedicated in his response to individual fans - despite the extra work involved in addressing supporters' issues individually rather than as some kind of collective identity. I have had loads of discussions with him :) But I have given that up now and more or less resigned...

Certainly not flask or bottle top driven, no agenda at all, and I am very much aware of the demographic on here....the discussion goes on face to face at games as well. I am just sounding opinion a bit. Whatever happens, if anything does, I shall just be watching lovely football and drinking my...

On the field things are going absolutely brilliantly, I think everyone will agree about that. Off the field we are treated like 'customers' and since the 'war years' ended have had no collective representation as supporters in the face of the negative aspects of the modern football experience...

Lovely man, hugely talented musician and artist. Played with loads of bands including of course the Fish Brothers, was in my band from 1994 until 2016 when his treatment meant he couldn't play guitar any more, but he carried on drawing and painting until the last, finished his last illustration...
