>>SimonM...I see killgallon has gone. A big loss? Nice to see another ex-Leeds academy product in the premiership though.<<


I think so. But he is in his prime at 26 & it has been clear for ages he wanted to leave, so ?2 million 21 games before he could have gone for nothing is not bad going. He turned down both Newcastle and Burnley before agreeing to Sunderland. I take it you realise Leeds get 20% of the fee? :))

Has to be said, every time I see Gary Co*k I like him less and less. A disgrace to the club he allegedly supports.

The Mad Hatter NY is the hq of MCFC Official Supporters Club NYC- there is a large fanbase there.

We get 400k....good stuff. Might come in handy for next season. Hope he does well at Sunderland.

I think just as many idiots follow Rugby it's just footy is more intense and perhaps brings rowdy behaviour quicker to the fore.

It's more to do with Rugby fans being more middle class than football fans. My wife used to live in Twickenham and got really fed up with Rugby fans weeing through her letter box

No Matthew - a much higher proportion of idiots follow football. Rugby is a bit more civilised, surely. I'm not aware that there has ever been violence between rugby fans - compared to the history of violence between football fans - surely that says it all.

I was part of a group of Moseley fans attacked by Leicester fans at the Cup Final at Twickenham as far back as 1979!! And from talking to colleagues who go to games regularly, it does seem to be creeping into fan behaviour as the game tries to attract a wider audience.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      Sorry to be dim. How are the Greens "peddling sectarianism"? I have googled a definition and I can see how this might apply to Reform 🤬 but I can't see how it applies to the Greens?

      There  is a dance fit class at Harris girls on a Monday evening 630 pm which I have been going to for years . It is an inclusive class  with a wide range of ages.    The  teacher is Fi and she is amazing and  the classes are lots of fun.   look on the web justdanceuk .com. There are other dance classes  (flowetic )that Fi and the lovely Lizzie runs  at Harris girls too . They also have an event next week which is a bit further- near Penge  which is a day of dance to include  just dance fit, dancehall, line dancing, garage fit and flowetic . Which is also available to book on that website  ( look at the events section) .

      that’s just been misused first by Faraz and then Starmer. It’s evocative and negative.  But it’s flooding the news today.

      I didn't realise that either! I thought it just meant division within communities - religious, racial or otherwise.  Yes, it is frightening. The days of the broad church political party are over.
