I blame the following people at LCFC for the fact he's still here, still hopeless but still in the team: 1. Those who thought he was worth signing 2. The coaches, who haven't improved him at all 3. The people who gave him such a long, expensive contract, so the likes of Crewe can't afford to sign him 4. The financial (mis) management people. Because of them we've not had any money to spend on a replacement in the last year or more

We drew 0-0 in September with ......... the team that's going to win the Championship

It´s a bit worrying that he hasn´t played a full 90 since he came back (I think). I hope he doesn´t get injured with Wales

At least today Watford didn´t score 5 seconds later

Don´t be so harsh. They did try to resolve the situation, by bringing in......Carranza

Yes. I think he is intelligent and educated, although he ought to be bearing in mind the cost of his education. He probably used to dumb It down and keep It simple for the voters. Quoting Socrates and using Latin phrases isn't a vote winner

Although when there is more than one party in a particular sector of the political spectrum standing in a constituency, the FPTP system means that they will both suffer, perhaps allowing another party to win the seat. The same may well happen with the Lab-LD-Green sector

It was the mean wage. If, as you say the majority of people have had rises of 2-3% in the last 2 years that´s still around the inflation figure. In fact it was 4.7-6% for public sector workers in 2024-5 More widely, as pollsters attest, it´s the "feeling" that people have about an issue rather the reality that determines how they vote. For example, in a Welsh constitutency some of the people interviewed thought their town was "swamped" by immigrants when the figure was actually 2% of the population.

A quick Google search seems to confirm what I thought regarding wage rises and inflation. Namely, that wages have been rising more quickly than prices for at least 2 years. Yet many people seem to think the opposite is true. Of course, the prices of particular items of food etc. have shown spikes, but prices of other items have fallen/stagnated. I think that many people have made their mind up about this government and won´t let the facts cloud their judgement. This is not a new thing - I actually felt a bit sorry for Sunak because some (OK, a couple) of his policies seemed quite good but the Tory poll ratings were never going to recover after Lettuce Liz.

What is the origin (the original song?) of the Ben Marshall/Ben Nelson song?

I suppose that the immediate strategy of the European and NATO countries is to keep the Russians bogged down in Ukraine for as long as possible. This proxy war is expensive but cheaper than fighting Russia in, say, Poland and involves only Ukranian soldiers

To Peter Shilton, whenever he played against us: "Does your missus know you´re here?"

I remember "Wallington, Wallington, show us your bum" from the Kop. Mark, being a good sport, would then fiddle with the back of his shorts a little.

I´m being serious here. If nothing else this will surprise Watford (4-4-1-1) Begovic (if fit) Aluko CB1 CB2 Thomas Aribo (I´ve not seen him play but he´s bigger than Skipp!) Winks Mavadidi (in the absence of anyone better) Fatawu JJ (free role) CB3 (to hold it up and win some headers) I really don´t care which of the available CBs play where. Titter if you will, but remember how well Walshie and Elliott did at centre forward. I really can´t bear seeing Daka or Ayew trying to play CF anymore.

Despite being captain that was the only time I saw him open his mouth, except when he ran 50 yards to moan at the lino after their first goal. Never once did he shake his fists and shout "Come on"

Perfectly summed up. The errors and the lack of desire to get a second goal made me think that QPR would score, despite their mediocrity. But I didn't expect the capitulation to be so complete

There was a keeper from Spain Who wanted to play in the rain Begovic is too old Jakub should be sold And the club's going down the drain

I would rather stick one of the centre halves up front and, as you say, knock long balls to him. No, I'm not joking. Perhaps we play pass after pass sideways or backwards because the alternative is a pass to Daka or Ayew 😵‍💫

Make JJ captain

If BC had scored the pen that Nelson gifted them we may well have lost

Give me a bit of what he smokes

And from Leicester. Rest in peace

What has changed in the last 50 years is the attitude of the far right in the UK. In the 1970s the NF actually supported the PLO in their struggle against Israel. Now the far right dislikes Muslims more than Jews.

I wonder how many of the people in the UK who are supporting Israel know that Jewish terrorists murdered several hundred British soldiers and diplomats in Palestine in the 1940s

Yes
