According to the State Department the Somalian referee had links to terror organisations so I guess it makes sense why he wasn’t allowed in.

Honestly Burnham isn’t ever going to change the world, or even the country, but the one thing he is is authentic. If he could get a good cabinet behind him we might actually see something. Starmer has also been the worst for London centric leadership especially with his ‘pavement pint’ tripe yesterday that literally only happens in London.

No ideally I want somebody who is ahead of the curve, who is charismatic and governs in the way that they said they would.

Tomorrow will be the 1567th day of the Ukraine war which officially makes it longer than the First World War. It has to be one of the stupidest most pathetic waste of life events in human history.

Can’t believe you just compared the genuinely very funny Lee Mack to Stephen Mulhearn

These are good points. Honestly I think he’s relatively ok on the policy side of the stuff, though I wish he was more radical on some things (means tested pensions), but to succeed in this role you have to have some modicum of personality. It also appears he’s sold himself to the ‘Westminster bubble’. He is the continuity PM of what came before him. What’s annoying is before he was PM he gave loads of interviews where he just came across as a normal bloke, he’s got 400 seats in the commons ffs, better than Blair. Do something with it.

Still doesn’t mean much, I don’t he started off badly but now is truly pathetic. This whole era of politicians has been an absolute disaster.

I gotta be honest Starmer was never great but he seems to have gotten really BAD at politics over the last 6 months or so

Money every time he plays is one thing but ultimately he is ours, we gave him his first class debut, I’ve read he was class with the kids on Sunday, he always bigs us up in the media. Whatever happens, he’s a Leicestershire academy graduate and he’s our bloody legend. Even people like Broad that pretend they were Notts born and bred can’t take away that it was the fields of Grace Road that made him.

Did you loot any goods?

we could play at 1/10 standard and still beat Ghana man, no serious country has Ayew up front. Panama are even worse but they’re only a small country. Croatia will be tough and we’ll need to win to make sure we top the group and not meet France and Spain in the earlier knockouts.

It already is a farce, you’ve got World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavarro and his Uzbek team getting basically strip searched on an airport runway. You’ve got referees that can’t get into the country. You’ve got fans that have to pay hundreds of dollars just to get to a stadium as they’re only accessible by car. As we saw with Russia and Qatar, it’s easy to forget about the bad stuff once the football starts and the games are actually really good but it’s still an utter disgrace what’s happening. And if the games are similar to how football has been over the past 1/2 seasons, then it’ll be a bad spectacle. Also it has little to do with Trump, more the post Reagan American system that’s been built. If anything Trump’s enthusiasm and friendship with Infantino will eventually lead to problems being solved.

Seems like Keith Piper, our old coach and Warwickshire legend with local links (Matt Pipers half brother) has passed away

Hear hear man, he was literally drinking rum and cokes. Get him on the session IPA’s and it’ll be all fine.

Wholesome

If you were the England cricket team, it really wouldn’t be that hard to get a corner of a pub sorted out especially on a Sunday night when they’re completely dead. And if you need to get paralytic then do it in that setting, or even a hotel bar.

Davies is already a very good keeper batter so he’d probably have to settle for fringe/second choice if he did but I guess they can offer way more money than us.

Rich countries will always host these events now because that’s the way you make profit, and no non rich country could afford it. At least Russia and Qatar paused their human rights abuses for a month to welcome the world, America seems to be ramping them up.

I do agree though, we’re going to see some crazy scenes over the next few nights. I would not want to work for PSNI right now.

The enemy is Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher and all the politicians that continue to apply their failed socio economic policies. A mentally deranged war victim from Sudan isn’t your enemy.

Just watched the wickets, it is turning but he seems to have come back from India having a much better length.

This will 100% be crap unless it’s a proper tell all type thing which is won’t because he’s signed NDA’s.

Cox is just good vibes to have around the club, seems like a very likeable character and his batting has been superb for us. I’d honestly try and keep all apart from Mike. Hull is talented, he’s just going through a bit of a duff patch and has lost confidence.

The fact you’re all acting surprised this is the situation. Nothing will change until the culture (ownership) changes. This is Leicester city now guys. Either protest or shut up.

So in this context it’s literally just north and South America, assuming Europe stays American. Africa is long gone strategically to china.
