I overheard someone near me at the last home game saying he thought "Jack Hinchy looks very promising" and presumed he was talking about Hinshelwood.

Yes. Sunak considered ineffective, Starmer anonymous and uncharismatic. No one has a clue what he really thinks about anything. I suspect this image will change once the manifesto appears and he has something more concrete to present. I think back to Blair who, rightly or not, I liked a lot —...

I don’t think Sir Keir excites any emotions at all, neither hatred nor love. According to The Times political podcasts that I listen to now and then, focus groups still struggle to know what he stands for, or even who he is. Labour are more popular than the Tories for sure but most people have a...

The Tories have enough trouble with Reform. Their vote is certain to drop sharply, if not completely collapse. Is Corbyn planning to launch a new party? I read in the Guardian a while back that he was thinking seriously of running as an independent candidate in his own constituency but not...

I don’t really understand the point here, or the meaning of "true story". All the bloke was asking, surely, was if you had the right money. Presumably he was running short of change. What am I not understanding here?

I'm still in Stoke, having spent a wonderful 2.5 days here. I've not used cash once anywhere. Even the burger van outside the ground is card now.

I always have cash on me. Some local places eg caffs don't take cards. It's also a fallback option when the technology fails at parking meters etc. I take out about £200 at a time. It lasts for months.

When is the draw?

Let's not forget that almost every player we've acquired in recent times has come from a club whose fans are also probably heartily sick of losing their best players to 'the likes of Brighton'. We are part of the football ecosystem that recycles talent upwards. We are not at the very top -- the...

You need to drop this fantasy of bumping off all those gits in Faversham Wetherspoons.

Well I have actually just retired. But anyway, I don’t set aside time to listen to podcasts. I listen to them when doing other things like driving, cooking, and general pottering about. I used to listen to Radio 4 all the time; now it’s mainly podcasts.

This podcast has never appealed to me, based solely on trailers and clips, which suggest it’s full of matey ex-pros guffawing and cackling about things which don’t seem very funny. The sort of stuff I can’t stand. I’m more of a Football Cliches man.

Fantastic news if true.

Yes, Wrexham might be good. We're likely to end up in some documentary - and live on TV.

Me neither. Since Jan 1st, that 6x3 and one 4. Of course, I’ve now jinxed my decent run.

There are hundreds of Uncle Rogers on social media, telling us why our favourite things are no good. f*** 'em.

Jamie Oliver for me. I don’t care that he’s a bit annoying. His recipes work, and that’s all that matters.
