Couldn't even get a bet on. What's the world coming to? Don't get me wrong, I'll vote Labour but I just watched Starmer on the news. He makes Potter look like Churchill.

For me, the last election was like Palace v Portsmouth. I couldn't find a decent word to say about either of them and whilst we would never know, I'd wager a Corbyn government would have been a complete shitshow during COVID and the ensuing war in Israel every bit as bad as Boris's was. This...

This highlights our culture in the UK quite neatly. Institutions and some schools teach kids to be "successful" generally by teaching the wrong values and behaviours. Meanwhile, competent people don't rise at the same pace due to face fitting issues or just not wanting to deal with all the...

In a parallel universe, we are currently in Dublin having turned over Roma, Milan and became the first team to beat Leverkusen all year to reach the final. Dunk cemented his England spot after keeping Lukaku in his pocket twice. Ansu Fati rediscovered his Barca form and an injury free end to the...

My solution to this problem is driving a car that no one wants to steal.

When I first read we were in for Ansu Fati, I thought that was pure delusion. A player with a billion release clause coming to the Albion? Yeah, righto. It's unlikely I agree but it's surely worth a quick sound out, especially as I seem to recall PB has some sort relationship with him even if...

Worth pointing out here that for a long part of his tenure, Sami Hypia had great underlying numbers. Now, if Chelsea are looking for a coach on a statistical basis, look no further. I think I've found the perfect guy.

Whilst I'd agree with the general sentiment of pretty unlikely, hasn't Barber got some kind of relationship with Poch? I'm sure that's been kicked about before.

Sounds like a classic example of those who have no clue what the data is saying drawing incorrect conclusions about it and congratulating themselves with their cleverness. It's why we will always be one step ahead. The real trick isn't reams of data but being able to separate the signal from...

No. You can't make people do that of their own accord. Or something.

I'd imagine a player or manager who had 2 choices on his plate who was currently in the Championship, Brighton or Ipswich, would probably consider Brighton to be the better career opportunity at this point in time. That's not the same as saying I think McKenna will definitely come if offered...

I love threads like this by the way. Who wants to read about how great people's holidays were or are?

It was called the Thirty Thirty (it was on 30th unsurprisingly). A quick Google suggests it was closed 5 years ago (I reckon we went 17 years ago) with a number of reviews that were less than favourable. I'll disappear further down that rabbit hole in a bit for a trip down memory lane. On the...

Another vote for Tunisia. I went when I was 13/14 ish. Absolutely nothing to recommend it. Crap food, pushy locals with everyone trying to flog carpet. Remember a coach trip somewhere that was like Mad Max in terms of the landscape. The Mrs booked a trip to Gran Canaria in the early days via...

I know the answer and it's an absolute joke. Rail is broken in the UK

This place is excellent - and very reasonably priced - for Pizza https://maps.app.goo.gl/7BJgwLyrYN2uV7nDA

None is the factual answer as I'm not there, however, if I was I'd give a resounding round of applause. As much as I've been vocal about what I think is a lack of diplomacy, tact and respect from him in recent weeks he has been in no small part responsible for some of the best football I've...

It's unlikely there will be any discernable performance issues between the 2 suppliers. Talk Talk will be cheaper, Sky have got marginally the better customer service but at the end of the day you don't want to be phoning either up if something goes wrong. If you go with Sky, don't get their...

Our game is looking like it will be cancelled this weekend. It appears there are massive tyre tracks on the outfield as they tried to mow it after a deluge which has caused it to look like a quad bike track. At best it is proper Micky Mouse boundaries. Proper Village stuff. When I say "our"...

When you look at the income streams for NFL or football neither sports "needs" it but that won't stop them. NFL has the odd number of games which makes it easier to export fixtures than football but they will find a way. My prediction is that the Spanish league will export fixtures first...
