Can anyone explain why Forest spent £30 million on Elliott Anderson?

You'd get on well with my mate. The look he gave me when I repeated the football cliche "Never make a substition before a corner" as Hinshelwood was hobbling off the field.

Pascal who?

It was not Ayari's game today. Gave the ball away 4 times in key areas and picked up a silly booking, needs to get the balance right with his flicks and his presses, but there's no doubt he has talent and vision. Hopefully he'll get gametime with Sweden too to aid his development. I get...

Today in that second half it felt like the crowd and the team were in sync. I was convinced the lengthy stoppage for the linesman's mike would kill our momentum but we picked up from where we left off. Bringing on Baleba at h/t lifted everyone, while JP and MOR coming on just ramped it up...

Igor MOTM for me today and arguably his best game for us, but not yet at Dunk's level.

I'm 56. Election results ebb and flow, there is disappointment and delight in equal measure. I'm gutted about Trump, pleased about Labour, but that's not the point. My point here is about truth, honesty, expectation, manipulation of the truth, perception, lies and fantasy. It's about the...

I think that calling someone stupid is counter-productive and wrong, but it is clear that some voters are better informed than others. It is also clear that if people choose to vote purely on "it's the economy stupid" and only on matters that effect them directly, without considering the...

You don't think it's catastrophic that a convicted felon / adulterer / riot inciter / serial liar is leader of the free world once again? When has that ever happened before? You don't think it's catastrophic that the Tory party has become The Reform Party-lite, stripped of talent, of purpose...

What are you talking about? My opening post criticised the Lib Dems over tuition fees and I voted for them in 2010. I only didn't open with Starmer because Labour have been out of power for 14 years, in which time trust in politicians has tanked. You will also have read in my subsequent post...

Blair in 1997, Cameron in 2010 and Starmer in 2024 have all employed the ultra-cautious "Ming Vase" strategy to getting re-elected after a lengthy period out of power, with the last two especially light on manifesto detail. The difference this time around is that now Labour have revealed...

I'm leaving party politics and my personal opinions aside when I post this, but it seems as though on either side of the Atlantic there is a widening gap between what politicians say in their election campaigning, and what they deliver when in power. There was a time when you knew what Tory and...

We need politics out of football. More Gazza, less Gaza.

As a society we know obesity is a problem, so a 2-month lead into Christmas and Easter when the shelves are stacked with various sugar products is really not helping. For a 2-month period you have to be incredibly strong-willed to keep walking past a stack of Quality Street every time you pop...

What makes it worse is that back in the 70s Christmas used to start on 13th December, not before. Now it starts mid-October so the buggers have got 4 times longer to sell this stuff, so making a shedload more profit.

To be or NOTT to be. R.I.P. John. A great flounce, and totally warranted. Up there with Clive Anderson and The Bee Gees.

Lee Carsley lives 6 miles away in Kenilworth and has managed Cov on a caretaker basis twice before. This says to me the chairman is jumping now to get Carsley in before he goes elsewhere.

I think to partition the Pope is a bit extreme, and messy. Maybe they should just petition him?

In 2020 you had some unique factors that contributed to big turnout: 1. A big motivation to get Trump out. 2. A big feeling that Trump had mishandled Covid. 3. A white male, experienced, familiar candidate as an alternative to Trump.

Presumably with your taste you'll be going for the Flipped Vanilla Brownie?
