I wonder how you'd react if Boris Johnson had taken £70,000 from a donor for clothes for a mistress. I'm sure you'd be downplaying it in exactly the same manner.

I just don't like reports of adults being back in the room and the end of Tory sleaze only to find to no ones surprise that the new boss isn't substantially different from the old one. Tories are shit and Labour are simply a different flavour of shit in better packaging - only with a larger group of oddballs prepared to justify their actions because of their political ideology. Now if Starmer had taken £70,000 and instead of giving it to his wife for clothing had donated it to a worthy cause or similar then maybe it would be worth sitting up to take notice. He didn't though because the reality is the majority of politicians are self-serving and give zero shits for the people they lord over. A plague on both your houses has always been the smarter play.

Thank goodness we had the towering intellect Lammy available to explain it. Looks like Labour aren't the saintly figures that some proclaim them to be after all. Only took a couple of months for the glaring hypocrisy to become apparent. https://x.com/andreajenkyns/status/1835261662397436117?t=KN7osfp1ZWcukn9VbHHALQ&s=19

Barring something significant to move the needle between now and polling day I think it will be tighter than you suggest.

I got told I was talking nonsense on here when I suggested before the season started that Martin would prefer to lose playing perfectly his way than win but with the players deviating from the style he wants. The more he makes the kind of comments he has today, the more plausible that view becomes.

Thought of another positive - Ramsdale being able to vary his goal kicks. Why did Martin not make any subs at half time? We effectively wasted 15 minutes doing nothing.

Fraser might be good enough, possibly Downes too and I thought lesley looked pretty good today.

Lose the next two and I think he might be gone.

It will be "we played some really great stuff, frustrated by conceding two after the penalty miss but it's my fault."

I thought lesley looked good before he got tired. Second half was like it usually is when things aren't working. Meandering and nothingy.

I'll now wait to see the second part of your prediction come true.

Nailed it.

Genuinely could have been 4 or 5 and we never looked like scoring.

I don't think we have been that terrible defensively to be honest. It's the other end where the problem lies. We haven't tested the keeper other than Dibling once. Depressing.

We should have made changes at half time. No idea why we have wasted time.

That's a ridiculous argument. Tyler Dibling being good isn't a negative indicator for the rest of the team.

We had the best half hour of the season. Then it went to shit.

Awful defending. No threat up top. Not looking promising.

Get Cornet on at half time.

Lesley has bee superb so far

For me that's been our best ten minutes of the season.

Overall you have to give credit to Martin for that lineup. I wouldn't have played Stephens but we know he's Martins favourite.

I think it's going to be very close. I'm not sure Trump's goal is to 'win' the debates anyway - arguably he lost them against Hillary-it's to become a talking point and in people's consciousness. I'm not sure how that's going with the general public but he's achieving that online with the eating the cats stuff and a few other memes. He's been underestimated in polling before. I think it will be a big surprise if it's a clear Harris win eventually.

Anyone have a prediction for the team we will play? I'd like us to play 4-2-3-1 but I think Martin will go for 5-3-2 again.

I doubt he has individual files. That would make it too difficult for him to generalise and cast aspersions on as wide a group as possible. More likely it's just one big file he labels "far right" and another one marked "the Jews."
