We have had a remarkable run of reliability in the GK position to think about it. Hardly an injury to mention, not even a sprained pinky finger.

Tomiyasu at Arsenal would be his main competition for RB in the National Team. Presumably would take some displacing.

It did feel a bit much to me for a Eurovision performance and I'd imagine that some of the more traditional parts of Europe wouldn't have received it well. But I'd make the point that we've seen raunchy dancing between male-female partners every year without complaint. The difference is that it...

Not even true, Croatia won the public vote. Not that it matters to these people.

I was impressed by Switzerland, powerful song very well performed with memorable but not too complicated staging on the tippy table. France or Italy also would have deserved the win in my opinion. I wasn't surprised at all that the UK vote went to Israel but remember that doesn't mean that a...

I wouldn't have said he warranted being in the shortlist given our season and his last couple of months. Gross does always fly under the radar that much is true. The far more glaring omission is Rodri.

Absolutely he should. If I were Starmer I wouldn't touch her with a bargepole. Undermines his own party's moral positions and alienates his existing base, just for a cheap stunt to kick a government that's already done for. They should be treating Elphicke just the same as the rest of the...

Couldn't Labour just have publicised that they rejected her request to join the party? Or is that some confidentiality/data protection concern. That way she would look stupid, the Tories would look stupid and Labour wouldn't have embraced one of the most detestable MPs in parliament as one of...

He was doing well enough early season with Hull that perhaps a Championship team might take a gamble, but otherwise you'd expect him to land in League 1, or SPL as an outside shout.

To be fair to Palace they have their hits and misses in the transfer market but it keeps their head above the water each time. Under Glasner, Mateta has even started to look decent. Everyone predicted them to go down a few years ago when they had ~10 players all out of contract at the same time...

The other benefit of a Tory wipeout is that many of the current cabal of far righters will lose their seats. Particularly this is true as these are in many cases the same people who were parachuted in to win the red wall seats in 2019. The longer serving, more stable Tories in the safest seats...

Both Caicedo and Cucurella seem to be performing much better for Chelsea in recent weeks. Shame.

I understand the logic of why they aren't. Labour know they're going to win the next election anyway if they stay on this course. They are trying to appeal to both the remain voting metropolitan liberals and the leave voting working classes simultaneously. Being too outspoken on policy risks...

I hope that's not the case, in Horsham too. Boundary changes could have an impact as the new East Grinstead and Uckfield seat has sucked up more Tory areas of both seats. I'd love if, for the first time in my life, my hometown doesn't just return another yes-man Tory career politician. But at...

I know that Lib Dems tend to do better locally than in general elections, but it will be interesting to see what seats they can take off the Tories in the Southeast come the general election. There are certainly a lot of traditional Tories in Sussex who would find the Lib Dems much more...

NSC is not a publicly owned forum and doesn't exist in a vacuum. If users are posting things like hate speech or libel, then NSC is liable for that, and users should be warned and banned if necessary. If users are being abusive and obnoxious to each other, that also discourages active...

It may not happen but I want Rushworth back at the club next season, we can't keep loaning him out forever - time to see if he can dislodge Bart! If not, he'll still bring in a couple of million, and then Beadle will be looking to prove his mettle in a season or two. Scherpen I would expect to...

To be honest I think the loss of Mwepu is overstated by some on here. He was usually the rotation option, rarely had a run of consecutive games. Yes he usually performed well but not enough to permanently dislodge Mac or Bissouma. Much like Moder really.

I had completely forgotten about it until I opened BBC News this morning. Nipped down to the polling station here, we have mayoral and councillor elections. I'll admit my vote was more against the existing, insufferable and ineffective tit of a councillor that we currently have, than for his...

Whilst Leverkusen are a "works" team, hence the Bayer part, they have a long and proud history. They aren't a recent implant like Hoffenheim or Leipzig. I must say though it's nice to see teams like Stuttgart back at the top of the German league again though. So many years along the lines of 1...
