Piastri is a better driver than Norris anyway. Kinda makes up for the luck Norris got in Hungary.

If anyone is doing a 22/23 us then it’s Villa. That team just looks so average on paper, it’s aging and maybe Emery has gone as far as he can with them.

A classic from the forest Reddit page.

Austerity was a centrist policy! It was enacted under a one nation Tory-Lib Dem coalition, probably the most centrist government imaginable. Brexit while daft as a standalone decision is also not to be blamed when you look at the absolute state of the EU right now. The 2008 crash was the trigger but we’ve had no good solutions since.

The problem is that for the general public, the problems that the politicians talk about seem so far away from the problems they encounter every day in their life. Climate crisis means nothing if you can’t find somewhere to live. Fighting Russians is pointless if you don’t believe in the society that you’re fighting for. Hell most working class people in this country prefer Putin to Starmer. The issue is obviously the rich stealing from the non-rich but they’re doing a good job in disguising it.

Is everyone not just a bit done with the ‘centrists’ now though? Like I’ve weirdly never felt more emboldened in my left wing views while somehow respecting the Reform approach a lot more than the current government and the ones the preceded it. We’re watching the decline of our state, and while I think it’s a natural evolution, it’s centre economic policies which have caused all of this.

Realistically the Tories are done unless Farage drops Reform last minute and gets Jenrick to be Tory leader or something. There’s no room on the right now and nobody is voting Tory to protest reform.

When are Samoa batting?

Absolutely mental that anyone is criticising a 17 year old thrown in at the deep end. Most don’t make debuts until their 20’s.

I have no idea what he’s like as a person but he seems to have some leadership qualities, which is something this team massively needs. A calm presence which is something Mads never had.

Yeah I highly doubt he’ll see out his term. There’s a reason why you don’t see many people of his size in their 80’s. Don’t think dementia like others have suggested but if he had a sudden cardiovascular incident, I wouldn’t be shocked. The question would be if he would hand over power to Vance if he was incapacitated or whether he’d rule from a hospital bed.

Matron!

I think out of the early pace setters, West Brom are well equipped to compete. Seem to have that extra quality in their line up?

Hasn’t been seen in public since Tuesday, and everything is bizarrely quiet.

Trump might actually be dead or at least very unwell.

It’s how it’s classified in the laws of the game. You have careless, reckless or excessive. Reckless = yellow, excessive = red, careless = just a foul.

Probably right but sad to see that disallowed.

Birmingham easily the worst of the 4 teams we’ve played so far.

That was a foul to be fair

I was said “dreadful pass” then Abdul did that

Yes but what about the Levein era?

Some turn around by Hibs, hope they can hold on.

We are at war. Wake up people. Living our cushty lives while they destroy us bit by bit.

Loved the sport for about 5 minutes again then

We did quite a lot in the Covid days. Two of the more famous wins away at Man City and the Nacho 94th minute goal v Everton were from behind.
