Politics does not belong in sport so there is now a thread on non footy to talk politics and the like.

An absolutely ridiculous statement.

I imagine what Pete is trying to say, is that Politics should not be taking over what is supposed to be a sport thread. I dare say twit of the week is not necessarily football related. If Suarez or Ronaldo are nominated the thread does not descend into a 12 page slanging match going round in circles.

But mention Theresa May, Borris, or Corbyn etc and off it kicks.
That's my take on it anyway.
It's boring now. So go and remoan,  or Brexiteer etc somewhere else !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

If you look back at the winners a lot are nothing to do with sport (or politics).


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

I think that if this person is kind and has political education he/she can be a politician. For example, the mayor of my city is an ex-boxer. And I really like what he changes in my city!

Harold Wilson claimed the credit for England winning the World Cup under a Labour Government.

It was clearly tongue-in-cheek.

I respectfully disagree with the OP, but I'm happy to restrict posts about politics to the non-footy forum.
