Reform won’t get as many seats as that, because far too early to factor tactical voting into the data. They’ll enjoy an huge increase from 7 but not 250-260. Unless Labour have a Truss event they will get a lot more seats than that although it will still need a huge Job Centre+ for their unemployed ex-MPs in 2029. Green support well overstated, imagine that leader in an GE, Tories 100-150, Lib Dem’s low 100 maybe more if Labour don’t grow a backbone on Brexit.

@AlexLaw76 surely worth one of your ‘Look at Me - We are all DT now’ emojis?

Biggest winners are Russia, and especially China. This is setting them up nicely for their long-term aim of all of those lovely microchips in Taiwan. They probably can’t believe their luck.

And if he attacks the EU in trade, although it will damage the EU as well and we will get a sniffle from it. Their retail, gas and other prices are already causing a lot of domestic consternation and they brought it in themselves with the attacks on Canada.

2004 was all noise and casual vandalism destroying their hovel and taking it out on the OB (and they won!). I’ve seen Millwall chasing them around Waterloo. They have never had a 1991 Covent Garden result and with so much CCTV around now probably never will. Them terrorising the disabled section at Highfield Road summed them up.

True since Suez and 1956 really.

He will need to invade because he won’t get 2/3 of the Senate to spend on such a huge asking price, especially when his tariffs have already fucked their economy rotten.

True, maybe the other way around, get 60 from Charles and 30 from Oriol. Rest Stewart midweek, see if we can get 60-70 mins Sunday. Last time Stewart played 3 in a week he broke.

Make him manager for the skates game - he deserves the hate and humiliation of their inbreds and our travelling support. That would break even his enormous ego.

Agree with TSP - even if we can only get 45 mins out of Romeu it’s him and Downes starting there in central midfield unless Charles can start. Maybe rotate Oriol and Charles. Not a game for Jandar. Have to play 4231 and get Fellows and Scienza playing wingers. But Tonda won’t. Unless Sheff Utd score 4 or 5 and he becomes. Untenable.

Didn’t fit with the AI algorithm Rasmus and his brother use but not everything can have a re-sell if you want compete let alone succeed in the Champ and PL, any of the EFL and National League really. Semmens was a bonehead about this as well.

Some key observations: @L1Minus10 is spot on, a journeyman midfielder pisses all over two lightweight midfielders and the worst left back in our history with a bit of height, strength and bit of an engine. Nathan Wood needs to go, three centre backs and he gets bullied like that. I only watch the goals afterwards now so disenfranchised am I but sounds like Quarshie shouldn’t have been taken off and Wood staying on. So easy to play and score against. Eckert has had it as Steve says if the expected defeat happens Sunday. Set pieces, pressing first half, get your crosses in and drop off second half. It’s that easy. @L1Minus10 made a good point about Bazunu. My views are also well known on here, much to the mod’s disgust, but I did post something similar about Gavin being really, really poorly managed in 3.5 years here and no way back. What I hadn’t clocked was that he’d worked with EIGHT managers and probably at least as many keeping coaches. He will never have the natural goalkeeper ability of a Tim Flowers but look how Chris Nicholl blooded him gradually with John Burridge. By contrast, Gavin hasn’t known whether he’s going for a shit or a haircut probably. Whatever happens at Stoke, Mark Robins is good experienced manager and bloke so he can’t lose really.

It’s reminded me of 2007/8 - hammerings at Preston, Hull and Sheff Weds (5-1, 5-0 and 5-0), sliding from mid-table nothingness under Burley who lost interest, to the thick of a relegation scrap before Pearson, crucial home win v Bristol City who were flying, point at WBA who were promoted, Lallana’s first goal and then the last day staying up v Sheff Utd. Which led onto 08/09 after Lowe messed up and shoved over the cliff what was already a grave situation. The Rasmus of the late 90s and 00s.

It underscores what all knew - America cannot be trusted over Ukraine.

https://www.lboro.ac.uk/news-events/news/2026/january/greenland-island-military-build-up-arctic/ All about dual aims of challenging China and diminishing Europe. Why the Brexiteers ever thought it was a good idea to pivot towards America, or frankly even the likes of Modi is beyond rational logic. Special relationship my arse.

You don’t hear/see the slow handclap these days but it would be a potent weapon but also not trigger the ‘get behind your team’ brigade like booing would.

Just someone like him with some reasonable first team management experience, operational experience, head of scouting etc and played the game as well. Probably more of a Rasmus replacement but he handled Ashley and would have handled SR easily. Should have been looking for a younger version of him when they bought the club. A younger version of John Williams as the CEO who was at Blackburn for their glory years would have helped them as well.

Alan Carr’s dad would be but sadly I think he passed away recently.

Never seen him let us down. Filled in at LB 2023/2024 and conceded less goals looking more solid until Martin put his favourite (bar Flynn) back in and started leaking again at Brum.

Agree but James is a good pro. Deserves a lot better than Saints but his professionalism puts Downes, Downs, Wood, No-Manning-Land, AA and the other tossers to shame.

That assumes that him and anyone in his entourage (including the revolting Millers) can actually read. Judging by his 7 year old grammar in the Norway tantrum latter, I’m going to call it that they are thick as shit and illiterate to boot.

We agree, 🦆 said earlier that we probably should have backed Juric for longer where the Martin crew played up. But then we might have also have ‘claimed’ Derby’s record. I don’t think they’d have put in at West Ham or v City like they did for Rusk and Lallana. The players are a disgrace in the main I concur bar the new arrivals and solid people like Bree returning. I think the fans handbrake will come off a bit more after Sunday and they’ll be clear where they stand with us if they aren’t already.

The leak plus AA’s admission makes it clear he was being undermined. Too much too soon but that squad of players outside of Fellows, Leo, Charles, Jandar, Weligton (as far as we know), Robinson, Peretz and Stewart (when fit), and probably Alex are trouble with a capital T. THB maybe cares a bit more as well. Not to mention lazy with their Martinball and disinterested in the club’s league position and pride.

This is true both ways, only a handful actually know the facts. On the face of, it’s bizarre that a young kid gets offered ahead of someone with 30-odd full international caps, coaching badges and a rising coaching reputation. Equally, Adam might have thought ‘fuck me, they’ve messed the window up again and I really don’t want to manage Flynn, Ryan, Nathan and others. I’ll carry on with the u21 because this lot change like their underpants and it’ll come around again by February, if I want it at all’.

Got a rough wall or floor?
