    No reliable official data on imprisonment but below is official data on convictions (could be a non custodial sentence). Convictions are falling (but arrests are rising) which reflects that complaints about people's social media and online posts are increasing - as i articulated. If you want...

    Quite regularly. Malicious communications act makes any "indecent, threatening, or grossly offensive" communication (actus reus) intended "to cause distress or anxiety" to the recipient (mens rea) a criminal offence. The act was passed in 1988 when social media did not exist but it is now...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    i am not sold on Romero at all. Individually, yeah, but as part of a "solid defence", nah. You know why? He's unpredictable. I bet Vicario, his CB partner and the full backs are unsure of what he's gonna do in any situation. Is he gonna dive in? Is he gonna have a petulant kick out? Is he...

    What are we doing here, a best XI between the current squad and 16/17 squad? Here it is: Lloris Walker Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose Wanyama Dembele Alli Eriksen Son Kane

    Not convinced by Silva. If we wanted a Frank style manager we should have stuck with Nuno and backed him properly.

    It wouldn't actually necessarily help the economy, particularly as things have moved on since Brexit. Obviously joining the customs union means you give up your own independent trade policy, so the UK would have to unwind its trade deals with the US, India and leave the CPTPP. The trade...

    It was mostly memories of those first 10 games i think. We really struggled to be consistent in terms of both results and performances after that. Partly that injury Maddison suffered against Chelsea. Maddison was unreal those first 10 games of Ange's reign. Absolutely ran the show. Was never...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah i think thats a really good summation our situation. In hindsight two really risky appointments by the club hierachy. One guy who absolutely had a clear identity, a clear method but one that was a) pretty out there in terms of consensus of how to win at the top level and b) was untested...

    Those experienced/international players don't have the key attributes of the players missing though. If Romero, Maddison and Kudus were all out i'd have the same opinion as you as despite being big losses theyre in different areas of the pitch and you have adequate cover. However both our...

    Came in here after several months away and you're all obsessed with Tommy Robinson still! Deny a fire oxygen and it'll go out!

    I'm not here to defend Frank and the football - its been woeful and i don't think he is getting a tune out of many. Saying that i really can't have it that you don't put players of the quality of Kulu, Maddison and Solanke in that team and get at least 5 more points (Probably more). They'd...

    And they wouldnt have started picking up without that quality attacking/creative talent on the pitch. I am pretty certain if we had Maddison, Kulu and Solanke fit for majority of our games this season we'd be 5-10 points better off, i.e. we'd be right up there.

    Yeah there is not a side in this league that would lose their two most creative midfielders and first choice striker and not struggle. If Villa had not had Watkins, Rogers and Tielemans from the start of this season where would they be? Nowhere near where they are is the answer.

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    For me a CB. I've got pelters for saying this before but Romero and VDV are so so so overrated. Under Ange it was "do they look bad because they're being exposed by tactics" but under a manager whose priority and entire set up is to not concede its consistently a circus act at the back. Look...

    BBC News - Reeves suggests benefit limits on larger families to be lifted https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70j7dxjp5wo It isn't fair that those with larger families are penalised "through no fault of their own". Didn't realise kids were randomly bestoed on people by chance. I suppose its...

    On EU referendum actually the campaign in my view was about the opposite. The EU was essentially a post-war concept - integration of European economies and politics to end conflict in Europe via interdependence. However, its no longer fit for purpose. E.g. in the 1970s when we entered we did...
