    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    The only difference I see is that Trump has zero respect from almost everybody outside of his own country, and the only ones that do respect him are the ones with a vested interest in doing so - Putin and Netanyahu. But ultimately, Trump is playing to a gallery of morons domestically by saying...

    [Football] Steve Bruce v Dwight Gayle

    Gayle's remarks were really quite harmless and he only commented on his lack of tactical guidance as a manager, he didn't call him a crap player. That said, it's easy to snipe on the side-lines. The fact is, Bruce was a decent manager as his record at most clubs stands up well. He's just...

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    I don't think either of those are particularly true. Granted, he wasn't notably less intelligent or articulate than the average MP, BUT he wasn't elected for those reasons was he? He was elected because he said things that stupid people liked to hear, despite being a proven untrustworthy...

    [Politics] Brexit - 9 years on, time for a poll ?

    People have answered this for you and it's not that difficult to understand. Every time someone mentions a sector that is heavily reliant on immigrants, you seem to say "yes but there are Brits doing that as well". So by your logic, we're not allowed to mention a single sector that has at...

    [Albion] Billy Gilmour.

    Yep. That one performance against a limited England team is doing a lot of heavy lifting for his reputation, if you ask me. He's not a terrible player by any means but given what we have now, I'm glad he's moved on.

    [Politics] Brexit - 9 years on, time for a poll ?

    It depends on how you choose to take his words, because it's equally true to say that nowhere near enough Brits will do jobs in the NHS that are needed to keep it running.

    [Politics] Brexit - 9 years on, time for a poll ?

    I know what he's said and he's right. The obvious answer is nursing. We pay our nurses quite poorly by western standards, and as such we import Filipino, Nigerian Ghanaian etc nurses to make up the shortfall. Indeed, the Philippines actively trains more nurses than it could ever possibly need...

    [Politics] Brexit - 9 years on, time for a poll ?

    It's also a fact that not enough of them do. Honestly, I don't understand why you find this so surprising. The NHS has long relied on immigrant workers. This is nothing new. "Insult" FFS. Good lord.

    [TV] What's good to watch on BBC iPlayer ?

    It is brilliant.. It's quite old now though - a couple of years or so. It was put out on BBC4 I think.

    Yeah it was Do It Yourself - the one attached (on our wall, as Dury has signed it for my wife, who was about 7 at the time)

    [Football] Relegation candidates next season

    Very much agree with your post here but with one point of order - it's unlikely that a well run club like Bournemouth are selling their three biggest assets in the same transfer window. We sold Caicedo and Mac Allister in the same window, but we were still reasonably stocked in midfield after...

    [Football] Relegation candidates next season

    6th - 10th bracket? 😆😆😆 You're miles off that, even without the plump Neighbours icon running things. How many of your team would get into the Bournemouth first XI, for example? Two at most I would guess.

    [Football] Relegation candidates next season

    A little shout out for West Ham too. They might need a goalscorer, and we all know how it is under Potter with lots of sideways passing and possession if you haven't got incisive front players. But even then they've got 2 or 3 quality players like Kudus. They'd have sell him for silly money...

    [Football] Relegation candidates next season

    I was just thinking, assuming the bottom three are relegated, are there any teams in the Premier league now who might offer some hope to any teams coming up? To me, none of the rest of the teams look like they're remotely bad enough to struggle. I do wonder about Brentford if they lose a...

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson **Loaned to West Ham 03/02/2025**

    Indeed, although maybe a loan to a newly promoted club might suit him better. It hasn't done Buenonotte any harm (he was on fire at Leicester before horsehead turned up and alienated him), and I'd guess Enciso probably wishes he'd taken a similar path from the beginning of the season.

    Sorry for your loss @Han Solo and that things get better for you now. Oh and I hope you feel that posting on here has helped in some small way. Take care.

    Fun fact: my brother-in-law was a roadie for him for years, and his photo is on one of Dury's album covers.

    [TV] Adolescence - Netflix 4 part drama written by and starring Stephen Graham

    Magnificent television. Naturally it's now being politicised over Twitter - once one of the best social media platforms around, now just home to alt-right twats and normal people who love a squabble.

    [TV] The Apprentice 2025

    Interesting. I have to say that both teams being absolute dog shit is nothing new, but I felt Sugar showed a bit of integrity by saying they both lost. And I like most of his one-liners, to be fair. As for Brady, I agree with you there - she hardly ever says anything constructive. She's...
