....did well in PMQs today, joking about home ownership by way of a self-parody. She also made a few good hits at Tory housing policy. Actually, when she and OIiver Dowden go toe to toe it's usually good natured banter.

Time for one last hurrah! Up the Pool!

For me, a choice between Hamilton and Ekpiteta. Marv because he was solid. CJ because of all the crap he gets on here whilst setting up goals and playing really well. A friend said Beesley for his hold up play and winning his headers. Then again, Husband did well and seemed to climb a ladder...

I don't like it when posters have their posts removed by moderators but I can understand why it happens. I have said before on here that moderation should begin with posters themselves. As such, I will now apologise to @JJpool and @Phil_bfc deux for being over-zealous in my political jousts with...

I wasn't going to bother but we've been given a bit of hope following last night's results. Here's hoping! Up the Pool.

the Mayor of Brussels called upon the police to close down the NatCon conference whilst Farage was speaking. He said that the far-right are not welcome in Brussels. The police attended and confirmed they were closing it down gradually. The organisers are looking to challenge the decision.

Alan Bates is currently live on BBC2 and iPlayer, giving evidence to the Post Office enquiry. Since I joined (last 10 mins) he's explaining that whilst being held responsible/accountable for £6,000 of Giro losses in the first two months of having Horizon installed in his post office, the system...

In light of the extensive military operation in Gaza by the IDF, resulting in the many deaths of non-combatants and aid workers, is it time for the UK to suspend arms sales to Israel. It is an open question from me. I have my views but am interested in what others have to say. As such, I will...

Just been on the Articles forum to see what (if anything) is happening. below the one article that has been posted is the following statement: "You have insufficient privileges to post threads here." Does anyone else get that message and why should it be the case?

It sounds obvious but what's it for? What kind of articles? More to the point, what has prompted it?

And so the fag end of this failed Tory project continues. Today's news is about the state of Britain's sewerage system. The BBC reports: "Sewage spills into England's rivers and seas by water companies more than doubled last year. According to the Environment Agency there were 3.6 million hours...

Continuing the game by game progress chart update, here is the position post-Wigan.

I found this article in The Guardian this morning. It's worth a read. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2024/mar/19/cultural-division-true-football-fans-plastics?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

As requested, I will update this season's progress chart after each game of the run-in, providing that we are still in with a chance of the play-offs. Here is the chart after completion of the matches in round 38. Up the 'Pool!

Yes, a horrible phrase from a horrible man. However, very apt. We need to beat Wigan. We could do with not losing to Derby. The rest I will leave in the lap of the gods.

Apologies if already posted but LS Lowry's painting, "Going To The Match", is on display at the Grundy until the end of March. Me and wife went to see it yesterday. It's a fine painting.

So, there we have it. No Tory policies so let's steal Labour ones. But, but we want hard line Tory policies...say the backbenchers...we want Thatcher! No, no, no say Rish! and Hunt. We're going to get stuffed by Labour so let's pretend we're them. Bring on the election, I say.

Dembele Followed by Coulson and Byers Mention in despatches for Marv's defending.

...we'd just be sat in the corner of a pub mumbling. Really?

No longer in 8th place whilst also starting to fall away from our progress in 2020/21. It's going to take a lot to put this right. Up the Pool!
