  1. Westminster Politics

    You’d also have to be utterly shameless to accept an honour from Liz Truss.
  2. Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

    Big Sam was ahead of his time with his pint of Chardonnay.
  3. André Onana | 2023/24 Performances

    10-15 years ago, when there were more Pulis-style teams around, I would have had more sympathy for a goalkeeper moving to the Premier League - a bit like how De Gea was given time to develop after some struggles against the high ball in his debut 2011-2012 season. These days, however, it’s much...
  4. Westminster Politics

    Nearly a quarter of those polled. I’d love to ask just what would be their red line beyond which they would not vote Conservative.
  5. Westminster Politics

    it is appropriate that a party that has long ceased any attempt at serious government is tearing itself apart over a completely unserious “policy” like Rwanda.
  6. Keir Starmer Labour Leader

    I find Starmer deeply uninspiring but the economic conditions are very different to 1997. Blair inherited a growing economy while Starmer is taking over a wasteland.
  7. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    You are over-selling Ten Hag. United took a gamble on a relatively unproven manager to see whether he could make the step up from Dutch league to premier league. So far, it’s not looking too good and he has a huge amount to prove (even taking into account United’s dysfunctional structure).
  8. Positives from yesterday

    Some of the attacking play was good, even if that was partially down to the manager being unable to pick the golden boy on the left.
  9. André Onana | 2023/24 Performances

    Time to cut our losses. He looks like he’s in a Dancing on Ice-style reality TV show where some random celebrity tries to learn the art of goalkeeping.
  10. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    4 points from 5 games in this group is unforgivable. Tonight cannot be put down to bad luck the keeper given we benefited from a very marginal offside call in the first half. Sadly the manager is not up to it at this level.
  11. Galatasaray vs Manchester United

    There’s no way we are holding on to 2-1 for 45 minutes so we need at least one more. Entertaining but it’s pinball football with no control. Watching in Turkey in a bar full of Turks so celebrations were muted when Bruno hit that screamer.
  12. Terry Venables has passed away

    RIP El Tel. Felt like another own goal by the FA when they did not give him the opportunity to take that talented England squad to France 98.
  13. Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

    Defining footballers by trophies makes no sense in a team sport, particularly football where there is no one dominant position akin to QB in NFL. It’s all about the context of the team, otherwise you end up concluding that all United’s glory years players were better than the likes of Robson...
  14. Argentina Thread : Milei wants to join NATO

    I’m going to Argentina in January - should be interesting…Although Milei may be a loon, is adopting the dollar much different to the 1:1 exchange rate under Menem?
  15. Club Sale | It’s done!

    Fergie should not be involved in this decision at his age. Genius as he was, he has as far as I know never worked under a DOF and, if we take the nearest equivalent (managers), he has a track record of poor appointment recommendations such as McCleish and, as we all know, Moyes. Sounds like...
