There’s loads of spare seats together at the City Ground. Awful atmosphere but swings and roundabouts?

If they get relegated, do you think they'll be able to force the 10,000 on the waiting list to buy a ticket to make up for those that stop going?....

FA and the PL are both now investigating - it’s not going to end well for the tinpot  whingers..

Taxi for Ten Hag

He looked absolutely shell-shocked when the equaliser went in…

3-3

Penalty to Coventry in the 92nd minute!

Man Ure 3-0 up in the FA cup and cruising - Coventry drag it back to 3-2 and are really giving it a go….

FA are reportedly ‘aware’ of the tweet - let’s hope a charge follows. You can’t accuse officials of cheating and get away without punishment - and as the tweet has been put out by the club (rather than an official) it’s only right that the club are punished as a whole….

They should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute after that tweet - another couple of points should just about cover it....#tinpot

What a shame. Richard Dormer was always going to be a big loss. I’ve only seen one episode of the second series.

It's a pretty major issue for a series when you kill off by far the best character at the end of the first series….

Could be a spectacular own goal from the PL & the FA - goverrnment now demanding answers and Starmer apparently also not happy with them. In an election year that could speed up the introduction of the new regulator far more quickly than the authorities anticipated.....

and such a week response from the EFL - rather than issue a strongly worded 'this is completely unacceptable, we'll be looking at our options' statement, they've asked if the the PL would very much mind (pretty please) giving the EFL some compensation payments....pathetic (as we should expect)...

Hugely entertaing sprint qualy in the rain, but I'm getting really sick of the jobsworth stewards interferring with every race:

1. if the drivers are struggling to keep their cars on the track, what's the point of enforcing track limits? - they're clearly not gaining an advantage by going wide on a corner...

2. If you ARE going to enforce track limits, don't then decide when to and when not to on the fly.....

If the PL don't want replays, perhaps they can agree to forfeit the right to progress in the competition if they don't win the tie. Win and you're through, lose or draw and the non-PL team progresses - if two PL teams play each other they can toss a coin for all I care.....(which is an appropriate method given that this decision has shown them to be a bunch of tossers)....

I don't watch a huge number of TV ads - normally record stuff and then fast-forward through the ads...

Radio ads however are a whole level of annoyance higher:

"Do you have more than £8000 in unsecured debts? get an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) with us - warning this MAY affect your credit rating" - no, it'll screw your credit rating forever....

"Sell your unwanted Gold, Silver, platinum & palladium - post it to us and we'll pay you next day" - I'm sure you will, but the chances of getting a fair price are pretty damn remote....and how many folk will ask them to return their items?

"If you've been the victim of a scammer, the system has failed you" - no it hasn't, you've been a knobby and sent money to someone dodgy despite the system warning you to check if they're kosher.....

"If you owned a diesel car between...." - ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

Sometimes yeah, maybe but this is not an example at all. She deleted the tweet herself once it became clear that she was 100% wrong, and left totally exposed as having said something hugely prejudiced. She wasn't "shut down" or "cancelled".  And this is from someone who is very vocal about perceived anti-semitism (to the point of also shooting herself in the foot when she said that she "didn't look like a typical jew"!). You'd think she might be a bit more aware of religious stereotyping

There are certain topics where we really need to all learn to think about what we are about to say before we say it.

Sadly some people seem determined to say controversial stuff just for the publicity

So all the many thousands of tweets calling for Channel 4 to sack her aren't shutting her down or cancelling her? Strike me that that's exactly what they are.....She's clearly a bit of a gobshite (shades of Gary Lineker about her) who ought to have learnt to keep her opinions to herself by now but should folk lose their jobs for having different opinions?

I might be too late to warn you all but if you're thinking of watching Passenger on ITV/ITVX DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!  Started off well enough, but rapidly went down hill and ended with an episode so lacking in answers me & Mrs R have been patiently waiting for episode 7 to appear for a week!!!

Whack on Baby Reindeer on Netflix instead, really dark & disturbing true story, that is laugh out loud funny at points.

We just about made it to the end of the first episode of Passenger  - after a brief discussion ("that was crap"; "yes it was") we deleted the series link - pleased to hear we made a wise choice 😁

MotoGP - no spoilers but what a great race…

The only box ticking I've witnessed was yesterday when they employed a blind man to run the line in front of the East stand.....

Reports this evening that Iran has launched a drone strike on Israel….

Probably quicker than the real one:
