Re: Plastic fantastic

Lots of good points made here, but is this exclusively a football thing? I also watch a lot of rugby league, was at London Broncos v Warrington yesterday, at almost all fixtures I've been to ( domestic and international) there is never any issue between fans of rival teams, there's hardly any segreg...

Re: West Ham United -v- SC Freiburg - 2nd leg match thread - 14.03.24

If we can play like we do tonight, attacking and stylish, why does Moyes set up so defensively at home, and have us playing such turgid stuff as we did against Burnley? I mean we were at home to relegation certs and that was a first half to turn the most ardent Moyes in into a Moyes out! Let’s have ...

Leeds v St Helen's looks to be the pick of this weekend's games.
Off to Plough Lane to see if London can get their first win of the season against Warrington - more in hope than expectation really......

Has Diane Abbott got a gig on GB News then? In what other way could they be similar?

This is subjective as I said.
We have better players than Wolves, Brighton and Fulham.
That said is the manager getting the best out of our ' better players' ?

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

It was more obscure procedural guff about her name not being on an order paper (because she's a whipless MP at the minute) and Hoyle can't take a flier with any of that stuff because he's dug himself into a hole over more procedural guff around the SNP's Gaza debate. A sane and functioning assembly...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

The Tories have played a blinder by reminding everyone that Diane Abbot is a Labour MP and giving her a platform. If they can find a way to get Corbyn to start making statements again they might begin to claw back some popularity. She's a Labour Party member but NOT currently a Labour MP. Like Corb...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

That's a reasonable assumption, I think a more correct assumption could be that he was bullied out of letting her have a say by Starmer. He wouldn't want her to have the opportunity to give her experience of racism at the hands of her own party - obviously with the Tories racism and sexism is a giv...

Sadly it tends to be the progressive ones .
All the gun nuts are on Trump's side so no hope really of the next President getting shot.

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Its brought up every time it happens. Couple of Tories went to Ukip, the Change group etc etc The MP is the representative at Westminster not the party they belong to. Most people vote for the representative of a political party - if said rep jumps ship to another then it should be a by-election.

Re: The Next Few Games

Blimey, 52 points means just 9 points from 10 games including Luton, Palace, Fulham, Wolves and a shocking Chelsea. I think we’ll do better than that. When it comes to the last quarter of a season however the bookies odds are uncannily accurate. 3 London derbies in there, they will all up their gam...

I thought that was what Brexit was about, taking it back from the EU- who's taken it from him now?

Re: [Long read] Germany: the rise of the far right in football [non WHU]

Very interesting stuff UTJ. If anyone is interested there was a documentary shown on Sky, think it was towards the end of last year called Stasi FC, which tells the story of East German football, particularly Mielke's Stasi basically taking control of the game and, by means of bribery, corruption an...
