    Time for Starmer's government to put a bad start and ideology behind them and recognise that there is a small window of opportunity brought about by Trump's victory, to become the go-to trade and commerce route between Europe and America for the next half a decade at least...

    I also just want to touch on a big thing that Trump is saying which is against the grain maybe but probably struck a chord with a lot of Americans and it did with me too. Russia v Ukraine. It's the elephant in the room and nobody is really willing to talk about it in the way it needs to be...

    Yeah i think the Democrats really seem to struggle to see the wood for the trees. Obama was a brilliant communicator. Someone you just listened to whether you agreed with him politically or not. They really have to look in the mirror and have a word with themselves in terms of candidate choice...

    OMT *** TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR V IPSWICH TOWN *** Sun 10th Nov, 14:00 BST, The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

    All the players in this squad can do the basics, I'm sorry. The other thing about defending is that I don't care how good a defender you are, if you're constantly being asked to win headers against or come out to engage PL level attackers, you're going to make mistakes, you're going to get...

    I spoke to a Tory party strategist after the 2015 general election. He told me that elections are all about getting "your" vote out in greater numbers than the other lot. 2024 GE is a classic example of a failure of a party to do that. Tory voters stayed at home meaning Labour and Lib Dems...

    Whether he's just being sarcastic or whether he is actually serious, he has even said in interviews we are just going to play one way,, his way and there isn't another way that we will play.

    OMT *** TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR V IPSWICH TOWN *** Sun 10th Nov, 14:00 BST, The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

    I only have question marks over him playing that role because while he clearly looks an incredible young talent, I'm not sure whether again he might be more of a box-to-box. Does he have the positional sense and sense of danger to drop in when Romero pushes out? It doesn't have to be an...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    The thing is, our players are good enough. They're not probably title contending good, but they're more than enough to be right up there. You also don't make Aston Villa look like total amateurs at home with average players just having a good day. Yes, everyone can beat everyone on their day...

    I don't think Bissouma or Bentancur are natural DMs. Think both are what you would traditionally call an 8. Think Bissouma often played even further forward for Brighton at times. They're make shift. Think Bissouma in particular has a tendency to wander positionally and mentally and leaves...

    OMT *** TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR V IPSWICH TOWN *** Sun 10th Nov, 14:00 BST, The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

    I wonder if the club have accepted that the hole I pointed to that we have is a top quality DM. As you said, if you had someone with the positional and situational awareness of a Rodri, Rice etc, anticipating when Romero is going to come out aggressively and stepping into that gap you would...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Team are entertaining to watch for the most part, but horrendously inconsistent at this level and from that perspective we've probably even gone backwards from his first season. Our consistency this season in the league is almost laughable. I've seen nothing so far to suggest my analysis at the...

    OMT *** TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR V IPSWICH TOWN *** Sun 10th Nov, 14:00 BST, The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

    The team are consistently inconsistent. I'm resigned to finishing around 10th, which is where I think we will end up if something drastic doesn't change. Just trying to enjoy the big wins and I hope we can nick a cup. I'm not sure another season of this would be tolerated by the board however...

    These arguments sound like the Corbyn manifesto of 2019 where Momentum got confused that all of their policies were more popular than the tories, but they got trounced. Tony Blair called this the difference between a 1 minute conversation and a 10 minute conversation with a voter: You ask a...

    I think the emotiveness referred to is the whole "this is the end of democracy" Etc. It clearly isn't, Trump will be gone for good in 4 years time. As for the rest of it, Trump won off a much broader coalition than expected and than he did last time. I think there's a tendency by some to...

    I think there's a lot of the sort of overreaction here from those that are emotionally against Trump (rather than politically against him). The posts I'm seeing are straying into blaming voters, implying a lack of education when actually I look at it and I can fully understand why Trump not...

    America has declined economically within the real economy in the last few years. Its been really tough on average Americans. I actually have huge respect for Sunak and Hunt as to how they handled our economy in comparison - you look at so many other countries where inflation and economic...

    I think we've got our wires crossed and maybe it's how I came across replying - I didn't mean to imply anything was merely trying to add to your post, sorry.

    I think Germany settled into a general state of decline probably about 5-10 years back as I mentioned in a previous post and they've not been able to arrest it.

    I mean my point, whether in America or here, is that it doesn't matter what someone says - Trump is very open about who he is, warts and all. Not in a self-reflective way of course, more in a "what he is, is there for all to see". People voted for him in huge numbers. That's democracy. If...

    But what he says is kind of irrelevant - he was democratically elected. Churchill said the greatest argument against democracy was a 5 minute conversation with the average voter.
