I see another dinghy has tragically cost the lives of more illegals reaching our shores, one being a young child. Whilst this is very sad I am at a loss as to why instead of trying to find ways of either paying the French to prevent these boats and getting laws passed to fly these people to Rwanda why has this Government put more into stopping the traffickers. Everything is a bodge from allowing water Company's to pump sewage into rivers to paying motorist compensation for damage to vehicles instead of fixing potholes and whilst we are on about that why do the highways people fill in one pothole and leave another a few feet away ? |

Trouble is if you ask a sensible question on this forum then your in for down votes. You are within your rights to question this. The three teams relegated all have Premier League players in them and whilst even they would need to add to their squad maybe they wouldn't need quite the upgrade as Town do. In no way saying I don't want them in the Prem but the last thing most fans want is to be turning up at PR seeing the team turned over every week and I guess you'd soon see a few who have come back to supporting Town disappear again. |

What will be will be. One thing I would say though and I know you can't have it both ways, a break of no matches or playing it seems strange to me that this situation is allowed to arise where teams all vying for promotion have one playing no games whilst others play three. Why I say this is because the powers that be are so concerned that the last game of the season all teams are required to kick off at the same time so that no one has an advantage. Whilst results could have panned out differently we have to only go back a game or so where Leicester lost and drew a few and Leeds lost as well. Our downfall if again it pans out like that may have been defeat at Cardiff and two home draws. But as our friends from over the pond say "That's the way the cookie crumbles" |

Why a blue and purple line ? A manufactured offside ? |

Sadly they won't scrap VAR as that then shows those in charge for what they are, a bunch of useless so and so's. Offsides, handball have all been farcical, along with allowing play to continue when a player is offside only to then wave the flag when a player touches the ball. I agree last season we played teams who wasted so much time that there should have been a lot of extra time. But this 15 to 20 minutes that's going on now is absurd. How long before we have three thirds instead of two halves. |

Reply | Toenail offside BIN VAR NOW
at 18:53 21 Apr 2024
When the initial move happened the player wasn't offside, they then showed the replay, look at the way the grass is cut, again not offside. VAR and the line shows his toenail is offside. How thick is the line ? Is the line in the right position ? Somehow an onside became an offside in my opinion. Would VAR have given offside if the goal had been by Man Utd. Don't get me wrong, after Town Man Utd were always my second team. Why, because one of my mates when I grew up was a Utd fanatic and when we had a kick about on my local football pitch we were always Law, Best and Charlton with Stepney in goal. So I don't have an axe to grind with Utd. Having said that I am not opposed to City winning either as when on song there's no team better. Feel desperately sad for Coventry and it's supporters. But still hope we come away with something. |

I would hope so. Let Leicester carry on winning. I think we have more to worry about how Leeds do. The best case scenario would be for Middlesborough to beat Leeds, Leicester to beat Saints and the Leeds and Saints draw. |

In these last few games nobody will give anything to anyone. I would now like to see Borough beat Leeds and Leicester beat Saints. That way Leeds would only have two to play and still be two points behind us and Saints I would say would be out of it. |

Reply | Evertons financial situation 😲
at 08:01 20 Apr 2024
Just shows how crazy football is these day's. In many cases paying players more a week than many ordinary people earn in 10 years. Every year due to paying for the rights to show live matches those that bid for these rights pay more and more, battling to outbid the other. each year the price to the consumer increases and I don't see that their subscribers are now increasing. They are either stable or maybe down a bit. Supporters who go to matches are being used as cannon fodder, shuffled here and there and being made to attend away games at stupid o-clock. I fully understand the desire of these fans. The word itself "fan" is short for fanatic and that's exactly what someone who follows their club is. It's like a drug that the more you get the more you want. I know because I was one from the late 1950's until the mid 1980's. I still follow the Town, but rarely go. If a match is televised I go to a neighbours or the pub and have a few jars. |

I don't honestly believe any party is worth voting for. Politics is in the gutter. This whole situation where one Party is trying to get one over on the other. Uncovering of things such as Rayner's Council House selling. Really what does it matter in the grand scheme of things. Blair made millions sending troups to Iran under false pretences. He owns several houses in London worth millions and has a Company that pays less tax than a pensioner with a small income on top of his State Pension. Cameron tried to get a Company he "worked" for bailed out by the Government after getting 1.5 million out of them. Johnson ended up with three jobs after getting kicked out of the PM's role and after years of austerity under Chancellor Osborne he ended up with a nice little earner. Hancock was about as useful as a one legged man in an ar*e kicking competition and oversaw the wasted billions on PPE. Now we are paying for it with higher taxes. That's without the scandal of the Sub Postmasters where 100 million was spent covering it up. As for Starmer and the spice girls, are they, or will the be any better ? I've had years of whatever Party telling me how wonderful things will be under them. Don't kid yourself. They only want to be in power to promote themselves and go on to a nice little earner afterwards. Don't know if you are aware, but when a PM looses that status they are entitled to an allowance of £115,000 a year. Truss must be laughing all the way to the bank after two months in the job. |

We all have our ideas as to the points total each team will achieve, but how many predicted the last games both Leicester and Leeds played ? Who predicted Town would draw their last two home games or that Liverpool and Arsenal would slip up as they have. Anyone who has will have a nice balance in their bank account now. All the players need to do is get the best possible results they can in the last three games. What others do we have no control over. |

My question is "Why do the players need motivation of any sort" " I would have thought getting to the Premier League was more than enough inspiration. |

I'm no expert and to be honest although I won £100 on a free football predictions game a few months ago and have missed out twice on doing similar by getting 3 out of 4 correct I do have strong feelings that the table after all games will be as such. Leicester on 98, Town on 93 and Leeds and Saints on 91. |

I remember the days when I stood in the North Stand and it was divided into two with fencing down the middle to separate fans. This has been replaced by the internet where trolls throw insults at each other and a personal opinion counts for nothing. You are not allowed according to some to have any opinion that in any way is different to theirs. They always say you make your own luck. Many games Town have been in this season has seen them come from behind down to sheer determination and no small help from excellent substitutions. Many have pointed to the few penalties we have been awarded and added to that the last two games where we have hit the post. Injuries and illness haven't been kind to us as well. Nor excuses more a reason to say we haven't been lucky. As for this EFL thing about wanting us to go up to prove that parachute payments don't make those receiving them in any way at an advantage, well, even if we do go up it's still shown that parachute payments make a huge advantage as you will still have three teams in the top four who got parachute payments. |

My prediction for the table when all games played is as such :-
Leicester = 96 points
Ipswich Town = 93 points
Leeds Utd = 91 points
Southampton = 91 points but with an inferior goal difference to Leeds. |

Don't see goal difference making any difference in the current scenario. We can look at the Borough point in two way. It was a point gained, which it was, or two points lost. Obviously 3 points would have made it fairly certain barring a disaster that we get automatic. But who would predict both Leicester and Leeds dropping three points ? I still think Leicester will go up along with Town and believe 4 points from our remaining games would get us promotion as I believe Leeds will only get between four and five points from their remaining games. |

Reply | Time McKenna shows his worth.
at 13:40 11 Apr 2024
In no way would I insult McKenna. People on this forum were questioning him when we faltered last season and if you could look back on my comments you will see I was one who was suggesting he'd get it right and was definitely the right man. Which he is and has been. Again I would like to state my comment would apply to any manager. It's not when your team is powering along like a Rolls Royce, every section is performing as you would like that doesn't show the total worth of a manager. It is when parts are not functioning that shows how good or not he is. McKenna would I believe back me up on that. We have gained one point from two matches now, but many on this forum have eluded to the team not performing to the same level for quite a few games now. Not me saying that, but others. |
