If Streeting replaces Starmer that would be the absolute end of Labour and would absolutely wreck the country. #r4today

There is a question about whether the BBC can ride out this unique and unprecedented war on progressive views, culture and journalism and the polarisation of society. It has torn itself a part to be balanced when balanced is ridiculous but has also been infiltrated and corrupted

Remembrance Day is now dominated by performative nonsense. You don't need a house sized poppy and a model spitfire to show you care about the sacrifices made for the country. Where's the sense of dignity and the quiet respect gone?

At least we’ve got the entirety of another fucking international break to stew on that, I guess.

You can make all the arguments you want about goals change games and things might have been different had ours not wrongly been ruled out, but we’ve been poor all over the pitch all game.

I don’t understand Neville’s rationale when talking about Doku there. The biggest impact he’s had on the game is to score a goal from a shot from distance. Which is what you give him the opportunity to do if you stand off him.

No card for Gvardiol. Kavanagh may as just blow the final whistle now. He isn’t allowing us back into this.

This is the frustration I have with these ex pro pundits. Richards there saying “the rules are the rules”. Well apply them, then! You’ve literally just had them read out to you. Explain how they apply to that situation or have some bollocks and say that they don’t. It’s not fucking difficult.

Added time is such utter bullshit. Referee’s just make it up as they feel. Utterly random. Take Kavanagh blowing there exactly on seven minutes. Which means he added zero time for the stoppage after they scored their second goal.

Pretty sure in my own mind that their first goal comes from a poor decision between Virgil and Robbo when they first break. They swapped places and had just swapped back when the ball goes out to Gonzales which means Robbo isn’t in position to close him down.

I’d be interested to know what the rationale is for giving that as offside. How does Robbo impact on anyone playing the ball there?

Amazing that Michael Oliver asked the ref to go the screen, so a penalty could be given against us. Yet same Michael Oliver didn't think Doku booting Alexis in the chest was a penalty for us a few seasons ago. 🤔.
