There may be truth in all these allegations against Trump and his gang - I don't know. What it looks like to me from the outside is 'the establishment' ganging up against him. Trump is a populist appointment. Rather like Brexit, he was voted for by people who were fed up with the way things were bei...

We were the big losers of WW1 and WW2.

Germany was looking for an empire and whilst it didn't succeed we lost ours and all that went with it.

I genuinely don't know, I don't understand the setup or why it was done, but it was done 20 odd years ago.... It was set up at the insistence of the rich clubs who wanted a bigger share of football's income, particularly as a television deal was about to be agreed. Before this the Football League m...

Chelsea send out 40 + players a season I think it is.

FIFA won't take kindly to this. What is so wrong with the FA ? Good question. I'd like to know that too. Football in England seems to me very successful, both at the very top of club football, and lower down. The pitches generally are of a higher standard (with the FA investing in training for grou...

I suspect the reason Hughton got it last year was the unexpected improvement in Brighton from relegation candidates to just missing out on automatic promotion. This doesn't belittle Dyches efforts - it is no easy matter to return to the Premier League on one season. I thought Steve Bruce did well to...

Well done everybody, but....

What sort of person contacts the media about this. Why not just cancel the Norwich arrangements and make them for Burnley themselves??? I don't know their circumstances but I'm guessing there are more worthy causes for the club to help.

Signed, miserable git.

Bride rhymes with Longside. As you found your love there it may be appropriate.

Last line: 'The old Mill Town is my bride'

'I met my love down at old Turf Moor
Dreamed a dream in the wide Longside
And I'm still here, after all these years
For the mill town club, she is my bride.

There was a cup game in the 1970s. It was on a bitterly cold night, so much so that there was a doubt about the game. Me and three other London Clarets met the referee before the game and he invited us on the pitch for the inspection. One of our lot offered the ref a fiver to swing it our way! After...

If you look at the stats in that programme you can see in the early season:

The only reason we are financially viable at the moment is firstly because of the massive Sky support for football - this simply did not exist in the 1970s - and top management by the BFC board. It is the latter that means we don't have to sell our best players for financial reasons, but our best pl...

I like the idea in principle but can't see how it would work in practice without radical changes in the way we live and work. I see at least two problems for which I can't see a solution. 1.

Oh well. Too late then! I can understand the wish for Blake but what has he actually achieved in the Premier League? According to this chart he scored 2 and got 4 assists.

I voted Trippier as we need an attacking outlet and I assume defensively he would be up to standard.

My point is that basic income is to cover rent, essential bills and food, and not a lot else. How about the BI being paid in kind - shelter, clothing, food etc. - rather then money.

if it be your will - interesting contribution. Unless the basic income that you propose, £8,000, is supplemented in some way, most people will not be able to live to their current standards.
