That's fair enough, it's just that #abolishthemonarchy has been trending on twitter since the interview. My point was made more in general on those people on social media who are deciding this based on the interview alone. I agree it should be abolished btw, but I've long held this view for a whole host of other reasons.

Well I suppose the Tories have been getting away with it for the last year. In all seriousness if it's not properly addressed this will have international ramifications. It'll make us look even more racist than whenever Farage gets on TV in America. To their credit, I think the youth of today are much more inclusive and far less racist than the elder generations, and the royals ignoring the interview will create a massive disconnect with the young people of this country.

My earlier post shows I'm no fan of the monarchy, however before anyone rushes to judgement around abolishing them there simply must be a response from the royal family to the interview. That being said, I absolutely believe that Meghan has been the victim of racism from the family. Philip, Charles, Andrew, and even Harry have shown time and again what respect they have for anyone who isn't them or filthy rich. Does anyone believe that they care about such things as equality and fairness? It's for the peasants. A real watershed moment is coming for them if they don't address this.

We're as bad in this second half as we were against Sheff Utd. We need so much more quality in the squad. I think it's easy to forget though that less than 2 years ago we had even less quality.

After the 2010 world cup everyone agreed that we needed more technical attacking players, instead of the rush/strength football the English game was based on. The irony is we now have them, and those technical players are now our best, but we've got Southgate who simply won't play to our strengths for the reason you've stated.

This for me all day. Mount is so versatile. When we're not playing the top teams we can easily play with one midfielder shielding the back 4, and I'd pick Rice for that role. Alongside him, Mount can be the link between the back 4 and the front players. So much better than Rice and Henderson doing that. Obviously Southgate will want two players sitting in front of 3 centre halves though. With Mount and Rice in midfield we'd have a front four that would be envied by almost every other team. And quality backup.

I thought that it felt flat, but now it's been a few hours since I watched it I've begun to wonder if Marvel are saving the big payoffs for the upcoming films. The Dr. Strange sequel and 3rd Spiderman movie are supposedly heavily influenced by the chaos magic we learned about in Wandavision.

Wandavision finale was surprisingly meh. No spoilers, but it never left me wanting more. It felt like they were in a rush to wrap everything up, which is no surprise considering it's been confirmed there's no season 2.

I wish the whole lot of them would just fade away. When I was younger I used to argue the benefits of a royal family outweighed the negatives, but now I think they're a bunch of idiotic rich Representatives for Wellingborough lucky enough to be pushed out of a silver plated vag. The more we get to know about any of them the more you see that they're just like every other outrageously rich person. To far removed to even acknowledge the little people. You have to question why the royal palace have stated they're concerned about allegations of Meghan's bullying, but fail to even investigate the sweaty fat nonce prince allegations. There's definitely going to be other major incidents swept under the rug too.

Do we have to have a motm poll tonight? Noone deserves it.

They're so deep. Everything we do is in front of them. We've got to push players past Watkins and get behind/turn them.

Davis on for Ramsay now please. They've dropped so deep it's going to be hard for Watkins to find space. He needs help.

I'd be very surprised if the ref overturns his decision. Edit. Colour me surprised.

We played pretty poorly, but still created some clear chances. There's definitely a way back into this for us. Any kind of improvement and we'll get at least a point.

Just a massive drop off in quality without Jack. Without him we're quite ordinary. To be expected, we're not a bad team certainly and hopefully we can improve 2nd half. Sanson for SJM, Barkley for Ramsey please.

Elmo fast asleep there

This'll be a tight game. Our form hasn't been bad, but some of the performances have not been as good as might have liked. If it were up to me, I'd be asking the players to shoot from anywhere tonight to test Ramsdale's confidence. Because of that, I don't mean to be controversial, I'd play Barkley. Other than SJM I don't think anyone else can hit them as well at distance. However if he's poor in the first half take him off at HT.

1 each. Unbelievable Jeff.

Lilly Savage has just said wolves have yet to have the ball in the final third. What's worse is that wolves do have players that can hurt city as they have done in the past.

Deserve to be as well. Don't think Wolves have attacked yet.

Wolves playing with a back 6. I know it's against Man City but it's so negative. I wonder what the players think. Surely you can't be happy with a setup that suggests you only want to keep the score down.

Ole on TV claiming Utd aren't getting penalties since there was discussion about amount of penalties they've been getting up until about a month ago. Hypocrisy. Utd have been given the most amount of dodgy penalties in the last 18 months above any other team. This also flies in the face of the amount of dodgy challenges Maguire gets away with in the box when defending set pieces.

The problem I think we have with centre, especially 12, is that traditionally it's that player who really decides if a move is on, or whether to go back inside. We've lost that now, especially under Jones. I don't really understand what he wants from his centres, as Farrell slows things down too much, I don't think he's a crash ball carrier, and he's never settled on someone at 13. I guess a big part of that is Manu's many injuries, but we've had so many other players in there, all with different strengths including Joseph, Lawrence, Te'o, Marchant etc. Slade seems to have taken the shirt for now but I only think he's picked for his boot, the same reason he plays Daly at fullback.

Maunder for Youngs, with an eye on Randall. He's been terrific for Bristol and can move to other positions as the game demands. Youngs kicking has been poor for a while, and he doesn't seem to find space like he once did. There's also Dan Robson, who has performed highly consistently for many seasons now. I go and watch Wasps quite a bit so I may be biased there. Obviously Edwards for Ford, with Joe Simmonds also given time. Jacob Umaga has huge potential too. Move Lawrence to inside and keep Slade at outside. Watson to fullback for me, although there are other options there. We have some very good options on the wing too, I just wish Nowell could stay fit. Centre is my only worry tbh. I don't think there's anything world class there. Daly was once, but he's gone backwards since the Lions. I played as a back up until I ruptured my Achilles. Specialist Forward play is a dark art to me, although being a biased Wasps fan I'd build it all around Joe Launchbury. He's the only player who always, always goes forwards. Love him.

Not an excuse for our indiscipline when we got it back to 24 each, but the ref gave them 14 points. Disgraceful from the official. However the results against Scotland and now Wales have been coming for 18 months. Time for Eddie to go after the six nations. Time for some of the players to be moved out of the squad to make room for some seriously exciting talent. You might argue that we won the last six nations and the 'competition' at the end of the year, but we've always been far from convincing.
