Maybe we could just return to using the term ‘Blimp’ (as in Colonel Blimp). We all know what it means, it was good enough for Orwell and it’d stop all the point scoring and ‘gammon’ angst.

Only for five weeks. Made less than thirty appearances in the last four seasons combined…not one for me.

Have to admit I’d forgotten him. He’d be in my ‘promising’, but completely unproven beyond L1/L2 level, category. Deserves a chance in a perfect world…might have to be sold in football’s more...

Of which at least five need to be of the ‘first choice’ rather than ‘back up’ variety and include a genuine leader/experienced captain who isn’t chosen by the players this season.

Ludicrously...

Not often I disagree with you Sith, but I really, really hope you’re wrong.
I’ll be gutted if Wildsmith goes and haven’t heard that rumour. He was a brilliant signing two years ago, imo, and still...

Dare say most of us feel the same about the former two but they’ve got contracts. Not convinced we’ve seen a properly fit Blackett Tayor yet.

Not disagreeing with much of that, although I’d definitely try and keep Smith, I’m not as sure about Tommo as you (at that level) and it’s your ‘head’ v my ‘heart’ where Fozzy is concerned…offer...

Unfortunately about another seven months worth, I’d guess…making it as close as possible to exactly five years, and three appalling PM’s, since the last General Election.

While I agree with your post…it was precisely the ‘design of the post Brexit immigration arrangements and the failure (from pure anti EU sentiment it seems) to replicate the agreement that existed...

Hmmm…but then I didn’t did I? So perhaps best to stick to what I did suggest. That Brexit - specifically the way it’s damaged our relationships with our European neighbours - has harmed our ability...

Sorry, think you’ve misunderstood, or it may just be my ‘bad analogy’.
My point was that all three represent ‘evils’ that we fear, things that represent your ‘regenerating many headed serpent’. ...

Slightly odd and defeatist response, imo, AF.
I understand the Hydra reference however I don’t understand how ‘taking out the smuggling gangs’ isn’t going to stop the boats…eventually.
The fights...

I’m not sure which part of ‘it was a tongue in cheek comment’ you missed.
I’m also not sure, given the plans you’ve told us all about, whether it will be you or your intended who will be labelled by...

It was a tongue in cheek comment and - although I might have worded it differently - I entirely agree, but the point was that two of the wealthiest and most successful nations on earth have been...

Lol…tap in…but you took it well. ;D

I do take your point, although I’d query the ‘50 odd years’, but, imo, the migrant issue isn’t going to go away. It is only going to increase as a result of war, famine, poverty and, one imagines,...

Good God…I have never felt so insulted in my life! :P

Rubbish? Thanks…you mean…you disagree. No great surprise there.
But, yet again you miss the point.

My response, to GP, was that…although I recognised his point, there is a real danger in...

I take your point GP and accept some of the complexities you speak of. (Please remember that bit!)
However ‘economically’ we cannot ‘justify’ many things. Economically we probably cannot justify the...

I’ve never suggested ‘immigration isn’t an issue’…I’ve said it isn’t as important an issue as you make it out to be. It isn’t the ‘be all and end all’ issue you want it to be.
We’ve just had local...

Which, imo, he’s proved. He took on a Hull City side that was in big trouble and took them from relegation candidates to the brink of the Championship play offs in less than two full seasons.

I...

On a par with Brum sacking Eustace earlier this season…hope they suffer the same fate. Ridiculous!

About as similar as Surrey and the Cotswolds, GP…but you’re right, ‘Cottonopolis’ isn’t what it once was and the vision of a ‘Northern Powerhouse’ seems a long way off.

Forest appeal unsuccessful. Prepare for incoming conspiracy theories! ;)

Yep…probably (indirectly)…or, if you’re of Tricky’s persuasion…immigrants. ;D
