They're good at lots of things but the club has been punching well below it's weight for a long time

We are a joke in Europe. Youth policy is pathetic. Women's team is a box tick. Stadium is a disgrace. Fan engagement is 💩

I don't want a Saudi owner but we can do better than Desmond the oligarch

2 things can be true at the same time. The manager is yesterday's man and doesn't know how to solve the problem

It's also true that the board, however well intentioned, are stal, incompetent and must go. A big bank balance but a decrepit stadium, a woeful transfer team, and even worse youth prog.

Rodgers has had enough pauses and international breaks to come up with a solution to a problem that has existed for most of 2025 and has singularly failed. I've zero confidence that he can find a solution, despite fact that his squad are worth multiples more than every opposition team.

Would be great if Brendan went to Forest. Would be good if he went anywhere, tbh. The team has been pish since the Bayern games. That isn't all done to lawwell and Nicolson.

I suspect the Palestinian people, whom starmer has supported a literal genocide against, and the pensioners he has had arrested for opposing said genocide, will be less complimentary

He is every bit as bad as a Tory. Possibly worse as he dresses up in a labour outfit to fool his cult following

There’s no doubting the surge in support for Reform UK, in the opinion polls at least, although the number of their MPs remains five right now. We mention them again – slightly heavy heart, obviously ...

"Speech is only free when it is anchored in truth."

In a column for The Guardian today, Polly Toynbee highlights how some politicians are challenging the integrity of fact checkers and the threat of misinformation.

Starmer doesn't give a toss about that, though. He just wants another reason to show solidarity with the Israeli genociders.

The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.”

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?
