Whatever people think about the two main parties, Reform getting in would be the final nails in the coffin where Brexit began the burial. Robinson and co would be totally emboldened. Racist graffiti everywhere, back to the 1970s and 80s. Economy smaller even more so than now, science especially medical science destroyed (just look at America) and Farage would stomp off after 18 months to America after falling out with his own cabinet as well as the financial markets. Watch out if you’re in need of medication, managing multi-long term conditions, let alone a woman wanting to control her own body, disabled or gay. A very small minority would far wealthier still. Current government is crap but be very, very careful what you wish for. Electing someone who reckons immigrants are eating swans and is a plastic Trump is not the way to unite the country.

Pitch playing reasonably and we bat down to 9. Their bowling was nothing special but some weak dicks playing T20 in the middle order. Won’t be easy but ought to be able to get it.

I’ve never wanted to beat them more. Western Civilisation v MAGA.

There’s a lack of honesty from the Labour, Conservative and Reform parties about the economic cost of anti-immigration measures. Take the 6% levy on international students which the government mysteriously thinks universities will be able to pass on (and students should never be counted as immigrants anyway, Braverman nonsense). Reeves thinks it’s going to help fill her shortfall and Starmer thinks it will appeal to Red Wall voters. Whereas actually the modelling shows that it will simply create thousands more job losses in a sector which has lost hundreds of thousands of already and drag thousands of SMEs reliant on regular contracts under in deprived constituencies where the universities are the major employer left, with an overall negative drag on the UK economy of £1.8bn.

Highly Shite Street in the news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0q751vlxw1o Not just an issue during the current government of course. Personally I’d take 10% off the family’s UC payments until the shopkeepers were paid back + 10% interest. So the kid causes hardship to their own family.

That’s because Danny Wallace started with Keegan, George, Ball, Channon etc, ditto Moran. MLT, Shearer, Franny with Jimmy. Later on, Beattie learning from Hughes, Bridge with Marsden, Telfer, Shaw and JWP with Steven Davis and Fonte. Talented youngsters need both experience and quality around them to reach their potential but Semmens, and then SR, have never understood this fact.

Hopefully this is the start of Newsom and other senior Democrats coordinating and really opposing Trump and MAGA, providing hope, opposition and ultimately a viable alternative.

The managers should either: - Ask for a much improved first choice from the Ramsdale loan fee - if the club say ‘no, we won’t admit our mistake on Gavin and desperate to recoup some of the money City royally pulled our pants down on’ - Then you use the best basic GK and get him to kick longer. You do not pick the one who can’t catch, parry or save, even if Rasmus Ankerson or Dragan Solak scream at you on Zoom.

Hants batted fine on it though. Surrey have been flaky with the bat recently as Notts found.

Yesterday’s announcement really pissed off a lot of people in the middle ground and quite frankly, any reasonable and decent sane human being. The idea that say an SME owner employing people or cancer scientist who have been here 15-25 years will tolerate being on a 5-year fixed term stay, effectively for the rest of their days is for the birds. Big miscalculation. I dare say some Reform supporters even thought it was going too far. Rebekah Brooks saying in the Sun’s editorial that it may be popular with voters was hopeful that millions of people will forget the new ITV drama about her and others appalling criminality and perverting the course of justice. As you say, let’s hope Farage carries on parroting Trump and recruiting the shittiest end of the ERG. They’ll be cut down to their natural size soon enough whether their window lickers carry on putting flags up or not.

Certainly I’d be asking Jack and Wood to leave a few studs in during training on challenges, the odd knee to the hip and into his back. Wind him up a bit on an autumn morning and see if he’s going to respond in the right way.

If Sugawara hadn’t left on loan I’d have put him in goal. Very adept at handling the ball in the penalty area.

I said he is a poundshop Trump but that’s more like 1p. Saying anything to be in the news.

Jon Brady also linked, good option at that level. Some sympathy with Michael Flynn where the Mike Garlick takeover only happened last few days of the window but they’ve been diabolical, much worse than Saints.

Bazunu still starts league games so wouldn’t be so sure there isn’t interfering from Rasmus via Spors. If Downs is still featuring at the weekend we have our answer.

Miles better footballer than Downs. SR can’t stick their head in the sand like they’ve done with Bazunu, this is an AI signing and total fuck up. Just take the loss and give him away to a smaller MLS outfit and they take the wages. He will never improve to the point of playing in the Champ and he’s miles off League 1 as well. He wouldn’t even get a game at Cheltenham and we are managerless (Cotterill might becoming back) and rock bottom of the EFL. I’m not joking.

Worse than that. U21s and then when does the MLS window open? Might just take a loss or loan with a very low buy option. The club have been stubborn about Bazunu but they really are needing to write off here, be lucky to get 2m for him. I had a feeling at the Stoke game the players really didn’t want to pass to him and easy to see why. Whoever recommended signing the worst footballer I’ve seen National League and upwards for any club should be taken outside of an SR board meeting and shot by one of Dragan’s party.

Majority of our gas comes from Norway via the big Centrica deal and something of a trade off within their sovereign fund’s large-scale investment in UK infrastructure. Around a third from UK North Sea.

Mads will be back up shortly.

He’s been a huge upgrade tonight and vs rather stronger opponents too.

UK doesn’t import gas from Russia, hasn’t since 2023 https://www.sunsave.energy/blog/uk-gas-sources EU less reliant but still buying too much https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-sanctions-russia-gas-banks-crypto-lng-us-president-donald-trump-war/ Hungary and Slovakia, led by Putin stooges, are refusing to set a date for ending purchases which is why the EU should do so on a non-100% member state vote.

Normally ‘Get me out of here’ would logically follow but ‘FFS get him out of here’ would be the Thailand/Cambodia response.

The contract extension was ludicrous but still, THB has been our worst defender by far. I know he didn’t have a pre-season, but Hull away was akin to Alan Bennett v Palace and Scowcroft. If he doesn’t pull his finger out, Andreas Jakobsson is getting displaced in our worst ever XI, that‘s how dreadful THB is at the moment.

Didn’t really drill down on that aspect, too busy on climate denial and immigration.

It follows on from his unfounded and irresponsible bollocks yesterday with his fellow populist fruitloop RFK https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj07e3rjev2o
