    [Politics] Marcus Rashford v The Spectator

    I don't want to insult anybody's intelligence, but for those who do not regularly read the Spectator, I think it's important to distinguish it from a newspaper. Whilst the Telegraph (for which many of the writers of the Spectator also do work for) will most likely only publish one side of the...

    [Football] History of the Brighton v Palace rivalry, LIVE talk Wednesday July 14th

    As an aside, I love the history of matchday programmes. Just flicking through some of those in the video is fascinating to see the change in price over the years. I wonder what 10p in 1976 would be worth in today's money?

    [Albion] Security at Wembley last night .... Non existent

    Agreed. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict that some are going to try and force their way into the stadium with: a) c.30,000 spare seats. b) England in a major final for the first time in 55 years. c) 8pm kickoff time leading to a whole day of boozing. Obviously doesn't condone the...

    [Football] Marcus Rashford abuse on social media.

    I ask because if the tweets had been abusive (but not racist) to the three penalty takers (or say, if Maguire had missed his), would this just have been accepted and not even made the news? Obviously adding racist remarks makes the tweets even more abhorrent, but I think the bigger issue is...

    [Football] Marcus Rashford abuse on social media.

    If these players had received the same abuse (useless c*** etc), without the racial overtones, would this have made the news?

    [Football] Get England to penalties and they’re ****ed

    I can’t find a suitable thread to post this on so I’ll just put it here as it’s related to the penalties: I’m getting really sick of hearing the pundits say “Italy deserved to win because they were the better team.” Butcher, Cairney, Sutton and Richards were all at it last night. I know I have...

    [Football] Harry Maguire Appreciation

    Maguire gets an awful amount of stick on here but I'm gonna stick my head above the parapet and give him some praise. I was impressed with him in 2018, but from the moment he stepped back into the side he looked like a man possessed. Brave, confident, fearless. Sticking that sort of penalty away...

    [Football] Hurt

    As galling as it feels, I know what you mean. Reaching the final almost seemed/seems like winning the prize as it just never happens to us! A corner has been turned in the history of England. The only thing that will be perpetually painful is remembering just how dominant we were in the first...

    Not sure how true, but funny…..

    Ah, it’s used a lot here in Suffolk but never heard it used anywhere else!

    Not sure how true, but funny…..

    Completely off topic but do you happen to originally be from Suffolk using that phrase? :)

    [Football] Why was Grealish subbed off after 20 odd minutes last night?

    Exactly this. At the time (like with so many of Southgate's decisions during this tournament), I was thinking "are you sure Gareth?" But in reality it was genius, especially in light of the rumours that Southgate and co. have been studying how teams win tournaments. Essentially he banked on a...

    [Football] So why has this team managed to do what no other England team has done in 55 years?

    Clearly there are a multitude of reasons for why this England team has succeeded over the past two tournaments where others have failed, but I think there's a lot in this. My own two penneth is that the England job, during my lifetime at least, has been the final destination/the afterthought...
