But you have to be open and honest about it, start to put the framework in place for radical change, trust in a voting majority of the electorate to understand, whilst educating them with complete] openness and honesty in your first five years. You do everything you can to get re-elected in five years time, except compromise on the long term strategy for the very survival of this country as a functioning society.
Unrelenting transparency should be the religion. |

Hopefully that's the case. In terms of your second para, the national interest is of paramount importance in the next couple of years, and Manchester will suffer just as much as the rest of the country if Labour limp, Bidenesque, into a GE with a clueless Starmer or a last minute McSweeney replacement. We have our own frog-mouthed version of the orange baby to worry about. |

I think I heard yesterday that the NEC could kibosh it in theory? Could be wrong mind. I hope I am. [Post edited 16 Sep 9:39]

I've just spent a glorious quarter of an hour bunging - well spinning like a well-thrown rugby ball - acorns up into the howling wind over the river and marvelling at how they retain their upright spinning form as they get buffeted around in all directions.
This sort of thing makes me happy.
What sort of things like this make you happy? |

"...and having to have opponents, and a referee, and having to play in stadiums. What else? Oh yeah, not being allowed to wear bibs, or stand around looking at screens whilst combing your hair...
...if they'd just let us have points for how well we're training. But no observers thanks, we'll just say how good we were in training. Or I will. Three points please. Sorted." |

Not only allow the slinging of bog rolls, but make it mandatory that every fan has to do one a season. Season ticket cancellation if you throw it the wrong way and it doesn't unwind. |

Mainly because rugby is a much more linear game where players and ball are generally moving in one direction together. There would be a lot of collisions with trainers and downed players when, for examples, you're a centre back backtracking under a header, or the ball's getting across the pitch or back and across. |

I think we've got great flexibility in our forwards now, and as you say Akpom, Sindre and (maybe) Szmodics could play that role for us, and the first two probably over an extended period as well. (I know it's very early days with Sindre but I think we've seen enough to suggest that even if he's unpolished, his power will allow him to be effective.)
It's great for the squad but it's also great for the adaptable individuals who've got extra chances to get game time in various roles when we're coping with injuries and fatigue. |

The radical one, which would take a lot of persuasion for some to even consider, would be to move to a Rugby League style timekeeper (not sure if they do it in Union too?) and have an official who stops the clock for throw ins, corners, goal kicks, injuries, bookings, talkings-to etc., and play out two thirty? minute halves on this strict timekeeping system.
I don't think any other system works - trainers on the pitch certainly wouldn't in football and retrospective analysis would be too subjective and open to fkn legal challenges.
However, I'd licence Norwich to do it if they can keep stealing points off our promotion rivals this season. |

Thread | Well done budgies.

Coventry might be one of our closest challengers this season I think, so I'm secretly (well, not so secretly now) pleased that the little budgies managed to somehow park the bus and do extraordinarily well to ride their luck to cling on to a point and deny two to Coventry.
Don't think Cov looked that great in this game, but I just feel they've got enough about them to challenge us and Saints in the top three positions. To Norwich; it doesn't matter how embarrassing it is to play that way, you just ignore the derision and keep scrapping away to take points from the top teams.
Nice one. |

Matusiwa is a phenomenal tackler for me, in that he seems to be very quick in, and then be able to get a legal and effective tackle in from almost any angle. His tackle timing is world class, I would say, from what I've seen of hm so far. |
