Reply | Reform - surely this has to be the end?
at 21:57 20 Sep 2026
Reform's biggest asset and its biggest problem is Farage.
Few people on the centre right, and it is the centre right despite what many will insist, have grasped the zeitgeist as much as old Nige. By stating generally mid right wing views over the last few years he has captured a lot of the territory the Conservatives used to inhabit before they went all "Lib Dem" with Cameron, May and Johnson.
The downside is that Farage is a bit of a shit. An utterly untrustworthy chancer nowhere near capable of being Prime Minister, but nobody else they have has anything like his appeal to a certain section of the public, and thanks to their decision to fill their ranks with failed Tories that situation has only gotten worse.
So the party most likely to challenge the current hapless Labour Govt isn't really up to forming a capable Govt themselves. I like Badenoch but the Tories are also miles away.
Basically Britain is F*cked. A military coup might be our best option, if only the armed forces weren't also an underfunded mess. |

Millwall are inconsistent and conceding nearly two goals a game on average. I wouldn't read too much into their early performance against the Hammers. They'd have been well up for that. Far more so than in most games. I wouldn't expect us to walk it, but it's winnable.
I have the impression in my head that we usually lose at Loftus Road. I might be wrong, but they're having a good season anyway. Very solid defensively so far. It's going to be a tough one.
Pompey are currently 19th. A draw is the minimum we should be looking for I reckon. |

I'm not too harsh on Lincoln.
The first priority of any promoted side is to still be in the division the next season and you do that by being hard to beat. I'd say that they're a fair way towards achieving that aim. They really made us work for the win, as was expected. We'll play worse sides and not win. We probably already have.
Having said that, we did make it a little too easy for them to do so in the first half, and the way we came out in the second suggests that Matos thought the same and said so during the break. |

I agree with you on his strengths, but his weaknesses are why, on the balance of it, I'd still prefer the other two. The added bonus of that is it also keeps Lissah in his best position.
There will be a role for him this season though, as will there for most of if not all of the players in the squad. |

He's demonstrating what the level heads knew all along. He's a capable Championship defender. Probably no more than that, and in the long term Lissah and Welsh look like a better partnership, especially when it comes to moving the ball out of defence quickly, but he won't let us down in the meantime. |

Reply | Peterborough United have sacked manager Luke Williams

His behaviour on the way out doesn't suggest "good guy" to me.
Just a hapless duffer and Russell Martin clone who was oddly defended/excused in some circles for underperforming with the players he had and, if we're being honest, had done nothing in his career to warrant being handed the job in the first place.
Sacked from three out of four jobs now. Airport porter probably suits him better. |

This second half is the standard now. Best we've played so far IMO. Huge improvement on the first half and a massive credit to Matos and the players. |

Same problems all over again so far. No creativity against a well drilled defence. We (slowly) get to a certain point and then pass it back. Luke Williams level stuff. |

The quality does matter a lot. The only song we've put up in recent years that was well written and performed by an engaging artist finished second, and would have won if not for the Ukraine sympathy vote.
Otherwise we've sent absolute shit. "Eins, zwei, drei With a slice of pepperoni" FFS. Either that or the one about gay sex in toilets. |

We didn't get much joy at Southampton. Two shots on target all game, and one of those was a penalty.
I hope you're right, but every team we've beaten this season has already conceded double figures in goals, whilst the only team we've failed to beat who have let in that many is Wrexham, and more than 50% of the goals they've conceded came in one game.
We've struggled against defensively well organised sides so far, and Lincoln are definitely one of those. Only QPR and us have conceded fewer. Barring errors on their part, we will need to show more against the better organised back lines than we have so far this season if we're going to win. [Post edited 19 Sep 5:01]

They have a game plan and will undoubtedly stick to that. Smart really. The objective of your first season in any division after promotion is to stay in it, and they're making a decent start.
The defensively well organised sides are who we've struggled against. Just has to step up tomorrow if he starts. |

We've had Government inquiries into football ownership and management structures.

As the BBC is publically funded and foots a significant chunk of the Eurovision bill, MP's are certainly within their right to wonder why we're so shit at it considering the impact of other British musical exports. |
