  1. Although looking at the table there's not many options for him there. West Brom maybe?
  2. Let's not forget that Rickie may well want to stay in the north west even if he leaves Liverpool
  3. I still think charities are the way forward. No shareholders getting rich from the public purse, and no ingrained bureaucracy because you can kick them out if they are no good
  4. We're asking all the wrong questions about the Charlie Hebdo attacks: http://mic.com/articles/108028/we-re-asking-all-the-wrong-questions-about-the-charlie-hebdo-attacks
  5. A good suggestion. I would also suggest that if you raise people out of poverty then suddenly all this blasphemy stuff won't seem quite so important anymore
  6. I'm just as pleased that Matt Smith is also being dropped
  7. We need to accept that while £12m generally gets you good players in most positions, up front it is much more of a gamble. It worked with Pelle but less so with Long
  8. Arsenal don't defend as a team and aren't well coached defensively. It's little wonder he is going backwards
  9. Chambers definitely kept Clyne out of the team for plenty of matches. I always preferred Clyne myself
  10. You still get everyone groaning when a player misplaces a pass and individual fans shouting that they're carp and to get off the pitch. I remember Puncheon being scared to show for a throw in because his confidence was affected by this
  11. I think Telfer was good but Wright wasn't. So where do I sit in your theory?
  12. He still should have been dropped though. While we weren't a great team, he was a level below the others and as far as I recall, we had other options. Rory Delap is the other one I remember as inexplicably playing every game when we had other options. That's why he got stick. While it doesn't help to have the crowd getting on their back, it is hard not to react when they give the ball away yet again. And its as much a signal to the manager as it is to the player
  13. When Schneiderlin leaves in the summer (assuming we don't make the Champions League) will we buy a replacement, or will Cork have more opportunities?
  14. It may be simplistic to say that the ease of buying guns is the only factor. But it is in all probability the major one. None of the alternatives you've given are particularly convincing and it does seem like you simply don't want to believe that widespread gun ownership is leading to tragic and needless deaths. Out of interest, are you a gun owner yourself?
  15. http://www.motherjones.com/files/ownership-death630.png Across US states, the higher the level of ownership, the more gun deaths there are
  16. 42% of American households own guns, compared to 15% in Canada. The death rate by firearms in the United States was*10.2 per 100,000 people 2009; in Canada, the rate was 2.5 http://guncontrol.ca/overview-gun-control-us-canada-global/
  17. No one has said you can get them in every shop, that is a straw man argument
  18. Seriously dude, your argument makes no sense. Regardless of whether it is possible to get a gun here, it is clearly much easier in the US. You must admit that right? They're available in supermarkets without stringent background checks. Sure it's possible to get hold of a gun here if you really want to. But the amount of work involved will inevitably put plenty of people off, and it also means that people can't rush out and get one in a rage because they've had a bad day at the office or whatever. By contrast, if you have them in supermarkets like in the US, you're advertising the idea of buying a gun to people who may never have even considered it otherwise. The other thing about the US is it's easier to get hold of rapid fire machine gun style guns, which means that if someone does flip out, they can kill more people before they are stopped
  19. Brilliant win
  20. Twice now the commentator has complemented our support. Always an electrifying atmosphere apparently
  21. Arsenal look so penetrable in defence
  22. Hazard is really good
  23. I'm just surprised that Yoshi is at right back. Isn't Toby able to play there?
  24. Easier said than done. The only thing you can do is crowd him out, but we were caught short
  25. Having JWP's delivery in the side makes such a difference
