    January Signings (Ins and outs)

    I think he only won L1 POTY at the end of the season in which we rejected those January offers (15-16)? But it's true that he'd played more games than Hill has. £1mill+ for anyone at the moment would be nice eh!

    January Signings (Ins and outs)

    # I suppose Dack was our equivalent- only we rejected the big offers and ended up sellling him for much less once his contract was running down.

    Simon Jordan

    Sounds like meaningless radio-based clickbait. Have a rant about someone who's already regarded as a pantomime villain, put the clip on social media, stoke a bit of a response, bring more listeners in, and same again tomorrow.

    North Shropshire by election

    That's literally what you said originally? In fact more than 18,500: "Cons to Not Voting -19,800". Unless I'm missing something. Though it's all made up numbers so really doesn't matter anyway.

    North Shropshire by election

    So of everyone who voted Labour in 2019, a) they all voted again this time, and b) 3/4 of them voted Lib Dem? But of everyone who voted Conservative in 2019, a) only 1/2 of the voted this time, and b) 3/4 of them voted Conservative again? A good chunk of the drop in the Tory vote will be from...

    Scally on five live

    Yes indeed. Which is why I have made the conclusions I have (as per previous comments). To be fair I didn't spend a huge amount of time on the feed so that may well be correct. I would echo octopus' point though, I do think there's a difference when role models/those whose opinions reach a...

    Scally on five live

    Nothing wrong with those, or his criticsm of Priti Patel's stance on immigration. More the repeated questioning of government statistics, downplaying of the significance of Omicron, and most worryingly, retweeting of Joey Barton. It's an interesting mix!

    Scally on five live

    Assuming the 9 deaths in the UK are representative, based on the fact the UK's population is 0.87% of the global population, you'd expect about 1,000 to be the global figure over the time period. A tiny fraction of global deaths. 1.3mill die in car accidents globally each year. Totally agree...

    Scally on five live

    The 1,645 is deaths shortly after receiving a dose of the vacine, not deaths as a result of the vaccine. Further down the page it states that 9 deaths over the time period were actually attributed to the vaccine. Compared to 150,000 from Covid, for instance (total to date). I'm not meaning to...

    No there aren't: https://blog.ons.gov.uk/2021/10/04/how-many-people-have-died-as-a-result-of-a-covid-19-vaccine/ Any potential risks from the jab are massively outweighed by the risks associated with getting Covid, regardless. All the time there's a large chunk of the population not vaccinated...

    What - no football ?

    Queen of the South vs Partick Thistle. Slightly surprised Evans hadn't played for either, given he spent his (short) playing career in the vicinity.

    The Official Bolton Wanderers Match Thread

    Trying to be positive, but I can’t help but be annoyed by that. We were excellent first half, well organised and effective all round. Continued into the second half, albeit with tiring legs, and Oliver should have put us out of sight shortly after half time. All changed from around the 70...

    chairman Chat - October

    Sunderland was my first match in two years. It was great to be back but I certainly didn't enjoy the experience anywhere near as much as I used to. Too many people far more bothered by shouting for 'Scally Out' rather than supporting the players on the pitch. Whatever the incident at the corner...

    Racism at Gillingham match (n/g)

    Would anyone really want a criminal record for racism just to disrupt a match that wasn't going their way? There's so much surveillance at games in the UK now and would be so many witnesses that if a racist incident was reported and caused a game to be stopped, the perpetrator would easily be...

    NG Green. Ten years - not a chance..

    The plan is to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. Not to ban the use of all petrol and diesel cars from 2030. How long would a new petrol car last if bought in 2029? So it isn't the case that a complete transformation is needed in the next decade and full infrastructure...
