Clearly we will. I'm still looking forward to the season where we have a good, settled, experienced squad with a good, settled manager. Would love to see what we could do. Thought next year might be the year, but will be more development now. Not to say that's not fun either.

True, but so is T20 cricket

The Super 8 groups were seeded in advance so it didn't matter whether we came first or second, we were always going to be in Group 2 for the Super-8s. We were actually seeded as Group winners, and retain that seeding. We get USA rather than Pakistan, which is nice, along with South Africa and...

You say this, and it sounds instantly plausible :o

Yup. But the polls aren't narrowing like we're used to. Actually there was James Goldsmith's Referendum Party, I remember them because my Dad voted for them, he couldn't bring himself to vote lefty (just realised I'm the same age now as he was then, well I won't make the same mistake lol). They...

That 37% does leave the remaining 63% supporting left-of-centre parties. Thats where the country is at right now, after years of Tory clusterfucks.

I pay school fees for my daughter, the school has already written to us to say they will absorb the tax and the fees will only go up a 'normal' amount. They charge a bloody fortune anyway, they must be so loaded. fwiw I agree with the tax, never understood why it was charitable. There's plenty...

Well, he's not going to get the chance to star for England unless he's picked. Beyond that it's up to him. If you try, you might fail, but if you don't try, you'll never succeed.

Is he taking the weather with him?

Seconded :thumbsup:

Most of those type of voters left Labour in 2019 and handed the redwall seats to the Conservatives. They will be heading to Reform in their droves, which should surely result in Labour reclaiming them all

Both left and right have a base, there must be a good 30% of people on each side who never change their vote regardless of the state of the country, the state of the parties, the leaders, whatever. Of course when your 'side' is completely shit many of those people will not bother voting, and...

Of course, but this one feels a bit different. This one feels like 'we know you want to leave, you know you want to leave, so let's get it over and done with now rather than waiting till you get the offer you like. We'll give up some of the compo we would have got in order to be able to appoint...

On the narrowing of the polls, this graph is interesting. It compares Labour's lead over the Tories in 1997 with Labour's lead over the Tories in 2024. Its about a week old, with the little uptick a result of D-day-gate but we can see that Labour's lead over the Tories has held firm at 20...

Baleba, Mwepu and Jahanbakhsh were all more expensive than Webster. Verbruggen and Osman cost just a little bit less, our next two most expensive signings in the list after Webster. Baleba, Verbruggen and Osman are all examples of how we are perhaps now operating in a different market than...

This is such a silly train of thought. What would people think of Starmer of he'd said his party leader was incompetent during an election campaign? Its silly and helps no-one.

The crowd that turn up for a sky news leaders debate in grimsby are by definition people switched- on to politics. They've heard the toolmakers line many times before, so giggled at that. But when Starmer chose to interpret the laughter as dismissive of his background, it became clear the...

Thank you Peter Ward :) Remember that the next time i say something nice about Graham Potter ;) [Oh shit, I mentioned he-who-must-not-be-named on this thread, please don't shoot me thread police 🙏]

maybe there's a lot more welfare cheats given the underfunding of the system, maybe there's a lot more unemployment given record immigration numbers, maybe there's a lot more sick and disabled because the health system is a mess :shrug: I don't know, hopefully labour can start sorting all this...

They did, but its a shit stadium, so :shrug:
