For context we’ve only won 4 out of 18 home games this season. Palace, Wolves, Spurs and Leicester 😕

Garner was so far off the pace in CM it left us almost 10v11

The Guards who have excelled with NYG in the last 15 years have really good lateral agility and balance. The ones who have struggled have been more heavy footed, powerful ‘leaners’. Booker is the latter. Zabel and Jackson are the former. I know who I hope is there at 34 🤞🏻

Will somebody explain to him that the European Union isn’t a country? After all, he is President of the USA and having a better grasp on geopolitics than a slightly slow three year old should really be a prerequisite for the job!

Not only should we not be waiting for him we should be locking the doors and setting security to keep him out of the building.

That would be nice.
As a guy who has been happily married for 35 years I am as vanilla as it gets identity wise but people are people.
Live and let live.

Yes with a tiny % who are neither due to chromosomal ‘abnormalities’.
Yet biology is irrelevant to identity which is preferences, emotions, behaviours.
As a society we may choose to insist on strict biology for some things (female loos?!) but identities are just as ‘real’ for how people live.

Biology isn’t identity
Men have always dressed as women and vv
Men and women have always rebelled against gender roles
Some have always been gender fluid
The labels are new, the feelings and behaviours are not
I don’t like labels because they are divisive but living a lie is surely worse?!

I never think labels are helpful but people always differentiate by music, dress, make-up, lifestyle & sexual preferences. My generation identified as punks, metal, New Romantics & those identities included sexual aspects. This isn’t that different though sexuality is a deeper personal preference.

I read this post and thought that labelling yourself as having both traditionally ‘male’ and ‘female’ attributes may not be a bad thing compared to the aggressive ‘real man’ and TERF female views. Mind you this is from a lad called “a girly swot” quite often as a kid! Live and let live.

His dedication to improving living standards for the much maligned legal profession is the act of a genuinely selfless humanitarian leader

Back up again but for how long? Musk’s behaviour is painting a massive target on every business he owns.

For the 4th time today. It is going down quicker each time. Tech forums suggest it is under constant, massive and varying DDOS attack.

So much of our fanbase has the emotional control of a toddler. Beaming smiles or tantrums. It is tiring watching knees jerk so rapidly, so repeatedly.

Awful game. Take the point. Expunge the rest from memory.

McCullum wants England to play as he did, with total belief he was better than his opponent and could impose his will
The problem is he was good enough to do it most of the time, most of our team are not
What was self belief in him becomes hubris in lesser talents

Yep, we are less than the sum of our parts and some of those parts are faulty

Nobody doubts him as a player
One of the greats
Nothing he did after retiring equipped him to be England coach
I agree we are not that good but we definitely got worse not better under him
He IS part of the problem, he is not all of it
The guy who appointed him, Rob Key, is also a big part

It is utterly irresponsible

Choosing as coach a bloke who made a TV series with Phil Tufnell that consisted of them travelling around NZ daring each other to do things that scared them (abseil, zip lines etc.), drinking and playing golf has gone exactly as you might expect it to for the ECB.
