Would be an interesting Venn diagram..... those who think James McLean is a disgrace for not wearing a poppy shirt and those who think it’s a disgrace that players don’t have a choice whether to take a knee or not...... Was just thinking the same. Although if we're being totally honest, it'd also b...

It won’t happen unless they change the rules around VAR. As far as I know goal line decisions aren’t within its scope so it can’t check. PGMOL have confirmed that the video ref can check goal line decisions but chose not to because the refs watch didn’t buzz or something. It does seem officials are...

Fair point from Wilder, he waited 5 minutes at Spurs to find out one of his players was a toenail offside in the build up to a goal but they couldn't take 10 seconds here to see the keeper was in the back of the net.

It says it's offering a code for free viewing on NOW tv of the match vs Man City ,but what's the use of that if it's already free to air on Sky Pick?

I'm still not sure the City game is. Some listings say it is, some not.

Sometimes it feels like nostalgia making you think that season and particularly the play off success was inevitable but watching that back, it’s ridiculous how confident the Burnley fans are defending a narrow 1-0 lead away from home.

Despite the amazing start to the season, I was 100% expecting it to fall away up until that QPR game. We all thought we had a chance after that.

I'm either supportive / ambivalent about the statue toppling so far. My only concern is we reach a stage where we're scratching around for things to topple and we just go after anyone who had views different to ours. For example, I've seen plenty of stuff online about a statue of Thatcher being a ta...

To Kill A Mockingbird is an obvious example of literature which divides opinion just off the top of my head. I've never read it, so can't speak from my viewpoint, but to some it's the epitome of a great American novel, well others bring up the constant use of racial epithets. This one example alone...

Seems a bit weird now, how relatively recent Little Britain was and particularly that it was on the BBC. Fine to pull it, never much of a fan anyway. On a more general note, it's easy to pull down statues and remove TV shows and it's broadly welcomed. I wonder where we go with literature. There's th...

Can I ask whose life on here is going to be any worse due to the removal of any of these statues? Glad it's not just me. Struggling to form a strong opinion about this at all really. I didn't know they were there, and now they're not, I can't see a good argument for putting them back up or mourning...

Fans love a net spend table. As ever, it's the wage bill which most closely follows the league table, the wage bill which bankrupts clubs and the one which needs watching most closely. Lewandowski moved to Bayern on a free the same year we signed Marvin Sordell for cash. So they've got a better net ...

Saw the 6-1 at Preston and a couple of the City drubbings. The 3-0 defeat at Bramhall Lane this season was more one sided and comprehensive than any of those.

No need to squabble with Ringo anymore. He knows as much as anyone how Starmer is going to go on destroying BoJo. Painful to watch at times, a mumbling after dinner speaker up against a barrister at the top of his game. It’s getting to the point where we need Johnson to stay in place as much as the ...

Our daughter's been back all week, and absolutely loved it. Kids adapt quickly, and she's been fine with the new rules etc. I do feel it's going to be causing huge damage to more vulnerable or struggling pupils being away from education for this long.

With that infection rate going down again this week, it seems the inevitable 2nd wave caused by those VE Day celebrations and dog walkers in the Peak District might not happen just yet.

Luton 88? narrow loss in the LC or whatever is was called then, we got a creditable 1-1 draw on their plastic pitch, and more than matched them in the return, but we put through our own net early in the 2nd half, and couldn't get back into it, they were a big fish at the time, and the holders as we...

I think depends on your age, Football seems to matter more when your younger That's true, the memories are certainly more imprinted.

If I got offered a pass to watch the games I wouldn't bother. Not for any moral reasons, it's just that watching football without a crowd is one of the more boring things you can do.

To be honest it would be awful watching the game in a stadium with just 500 people in it. Nice bit of nostalgia for those who went in the 80s. I'd be happy with it, seeing 3 or 4 games in a season would be better than none. I'd have no concerns watching a game outdoors, it'd be less risk than all c...

They might go 'bust' but football will carry on. People will still go and watch their team, it's just players won't get a half million pound salary to play for Reading or Birmingham.

What a horrible and anxious day that was. Definitely the most nerve-wracking 90+ minutes I’ve had to sit through.

Ended up watching most of it again, can't believe how good Carlisle is in that game considering the state he looked to be in at Doncaster around Christmas.
