    How would you stop the boats?

    This is a very good point, and one that reform use to their advantage. If boat crossings stopped tomorrow.....zero....we wouldn't wake up the day after in a country devoid of anti-immigrant, racist ar5eholes. The uncomfortable truth is that a sizeable proportion of the country are inherently...

    Live Aid 40 years on

    Bowie's band are incredible. TVC15 is a very chaotic song, all sorts going on and they make it seem easy.

    ENG v IND 3rd test

    It doesn't, but it might swing the psychological edge back in our favour. I get the impression there's an exceptionalism in the Indian ranks which means they can push the boundaries without recourse. Doing the same may just make them take their eye off the ball. As in any top level sport it's...

    ENG v IND 3rd test

    Disagree, India have done it all series (and for years) naive not to take advantage yourself. See Pant chucking his bat half way across the field at Edgbaston last and taking an age to retrieve it. If I were Crawley I'd be calling the physio on first ball tomorrow, even though I'm off strike...

    What would be the easiest match to get tickets for?

    Think they've been a few deaths over the years. Usually disorder in the stands which ends with the police storming in. Was it the derby where Forests owner was seen on the pitch brandishing a loaded handgun?

    What would be the easiest match to get tickets for?

    Is it straightforward to get tickets to Bayern? Always assumed sell outs, long waiting lists etc. A few years back (just as Covid was kicking off) I managed to get a ticket online for Leverkusen - think there used to be a few make general sale for most matches. This may have changed since as...

    Redcar friendly

    Weird isn't it. Appreciate it's the U21 but you would expect at least a cursory mention!

    Redcar friendly

    Couldn't make it last night but should be there a week tomorrow, looking forward to it!

    How would you stop the boats?

    I'd personally ignore the media driven issue and instead focus on a fairer system of taxation and effective public spending on infrastructure to support the delivery of public services. As it stands it's an easy excuse or "bogeyman" for chronic underinvestment in public services.

    Redcar friendly

    Not a glowing reference for any first team squad players who are involved tonight in fairness. Unless they're back from injury this week you would expect them to be in Portugal.

    Boro taxis vs Uber

    This is what Bolt are doing in the UK now. I think Uber prices have probably increased c20% since they launched here over 10 years ago. Bolt come in and charge 20% less.

    Live Aid 40 years on

    There's a decent docco on the iPlayer about this currently. Queen rightly get a lot of credit, and the UK leg in general but the USA roster was absolutely incredible! Not many places you see Dylan, Neil Young, Beach Boys, Tom Petty, Zeppelin and Madonna on the same bill.

    Joshua Tree (1950s Style)

    AI is good isn't it! Ironic that The Doors album they've actually "fast forwarded" a song by 25 years - prize if you know which one

    No signings

    Based on what though? They should only be involved in the FT squad if they're deemed good enough in my opinion. Teams always use pre-season to look at some of the development players which is why they've been in Portugal and will probably get game time in friendlies - difficult to read much...

    Boro taxis vs Uber

    Uber will likely get there. I live in a city which has had Uber for 10 years or so and can count on hand the times I've not been able to get one to pick up within 5-10 minutes of requesting. If I was heading to MAN airport from here I'd just book in real-time when it was needed.
