Christ, we'll be redundant soon, Resurgam and DH Canary - there'll be a government quango to moderate this site (and all other websites <doh>) on our behalf. Food bank, here I come :(

Nah this is going to be the making of us! With so much internet to regulate, the government (or whichever private contractor they've all bought shares in) are going to need to hire huge numbers of moderators to police the internet! With all the experience on my CV, I expect to be in charge of moderating all sports websites by the end of the year. I plan to fully abuse my broad powers to erase that 6-0 defeat at Fulham from history, and make any comment containing the name Danny Haynes punishable by internment in one of May's Gulags.

"We will be global leaders in the regulation of the internet". I'm not sure if that's more 1984 or Chinese Government?

Wow. Very strong words from Tony Bellew on the the Manchester attack.

He's got a point with a lot of this for me. Something has to happen to try and stop this. We can't just accept it's happened, pour money into a charity and move on. Then do the same next time. I think it will need to take something drastic, and I do think the people will start to take things into their own hands if it's not obvious the government are taking big steps. That's can't happen. It will be like watching "The Purge".

And that film was awful.
 
Has anyone tried changing to 'grey alternative' on this site at the foot of the page?

I did so a few days ago and to be honest I actually prefer it. I have to say the MDT's look far better in my opinion and text on all pages in general look much better.

There is also no need to change on all devices as it automatically does it for you.

Pages seem to load much faster on slower connections i.e. when I'm at work, the only slight drawback is that the up/down arrows on the right hand side are missing but that's made up for by the fact that pages seem to scroll much faster.

Try it, see what you think

I've been using that for so long I didn't realise it wasn't default. I agree your MDT's look superb with it, and generally the site is quite clean. The other tip I'd have for faster browsing is to disable "Signatures", much less scrolling!

The fight tonight at Sheffield. They asked for a minutes silence for the Manchester victims. There was a large amount of the crowd singing and clapping in a football match style. I couldn't make out what their chant was, but they are f**king scum of the earth. Disgusting.

Agreed FML and apparently there has been a rise in the number of racist crimes since Monday, yet you saw representatives of most cultures on the steps of City Hall on Tuesday and all with the same message!!!!
 
Wow. Groves Vs the Russian. He looked out of his depth. This reminds me of the Joshua fight. Both have slugged so hard, they are both knackered already. Groves has rocked him and come right back into this. Great fight. The Russian looks relentless and very solid.
 
Wow!

Groves, the first couple of rounds, I thought he wouldn't be able to break him down. He grew and grew, he was so impressive the last 2 rounds or so. I can't believe the guy never fell! So many brutal blunt punches in such a short space of time. That was an awesome finish!!
