    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    This is the correct answer. Some of the far-thick on Twitter are genuinely more outraged by this frankly mildly amusing but stupid stunt than they were by Jo Cox. Let's face it, you are spot on - Farage invites this sort of outrage, the absolute twunt.

    [Albion] Henrik Rydstrom - new manager candidate.

    Was trying to think if I'd heard of Hen Rydstrom... Bing! Got shingles real bad in senior year, almost didn't graduate.

    [News] ICF's Bill Gardiner allegedly gave Russell Bishop a good hiding in the nick.

    Yes. This happened when he needed the hospital in the main bit.

    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    Getting a bit macked off with this season already. First the weather is more than a bit tiresome. Now my WIFE has had the poor grace to go to hospital on Wednesday with a pain, then ended up having an emergency appendix op yesterday, meaning no cricket for me last Wednesday AND tomorrow as I...

    [Football] Reasons England won’t win the Euros…

    Southgate, It's not his lack of tactical nous that bothers me - how complex can you afford to be when you've only got the players for a week or two at a time? It's his annoying habits of: * picking his favourites regardless of form. Maguire, Dier, Ali - there are loads. * picking others...

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    Of course it unravelled. Yes he had injuries but RDZ didn't adapt and instead just moaned and whinged in the press. I'd have expected a drop off in form but not to the relegation form we saw. And no you don't know what he was meant to do, but you're not the one being paid big bucks to solve...

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    But even that can be reframed: Heavily backed = always knew that we would not stand in the way of players and predictably sold our £140m centre-mid pairing, but replaced with two hand-picked expensive signings, one a supposed wonder kid from Barcelona (a regular at one of the biggest clubs in...

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    No I really don't think he is a massive downgrade at all and that it is easy to overthink these things, or focus too heavily on only one attribute that makes a manager good at his job. There are many attributes that go to make a good manager in my view - tactical knowledge, discipline...

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    A massive downgrade on what we've had? In the table for the second half of the season, we were 4th or 5th from bottom. The worst six months since the six months that got Hughton sacked. Do we really want another coach who does 18 months and then downs tools despite being heavily backed and...

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    Disagree completely. He could be exactly what we need. He is apparently a good motivator, which our players are probably in need of - our team has spent six months in relegation form thanks to a manager who believed all the hype surrounding him, influenced two of the worst value signings we've...

    [Misc] What is the greatest purchase you've EVER made

    I have this and heartily concur! All those years of arsing about with lesser contraptions. This came into my life and it is so easy.

    [Politics] Why is Nigel Farage on Question Time tonight ?

    If they're that bothered about viewing figures, they would be better off binning the feeble Fiona Bruce. I can't watch it while she's the host.

    [Politics] Why is Nigel Farage on Question Time tonight ?

    Plus of course, he pretty much fills the "c#nt quota" on his own.

    [Cricket] England vs Pakistan T20

    The weather this year is becoming VERY tiresome. First, it is inhibiting my contribution to the village cricket thread and now it is ruining the international pyjama stuff. Nick off, rain. Enough. Away with you.

    [News] Banal Phrases

    "Hard working British people" An absolutely classic Tory soundbite often used to justify not taxing people sufficiently and instead choosing to run public services into the ground while ensuring the rich get to keep more of their money

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    There isn't a single word I disagree with here. I wasn't demonizing private education, to be clear, but I do think VATing it is an excellent policy. There is no reason why private education shouldn't attract tax and the more people who are in state education, the more likely the country is to...

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Although that might be sensible, I'm afraid I don't have time. My advice would be to instead not post a load of shit and then pretend it's a joke.

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Elphicke's defection was surely only about making political capital at that moment in time. She wouldn't be allowed anywhere near a constituency where Labour have half a chance even if she wanted to.

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Not a very funny one. How anyone can lump in Starmer with that irritating pigmy as if they are two cheeks of the same arse is totally beyond me. One went to Harrow, spends more than an average nurses salary heating his swimming pool, has had his snout in the trough and has wasted billions on...
