Of course he did a job for us but you absolutely can compare player popularity across eras. It's a nonsense to suggest that Lallana was even close to MLT.

Proper democracy means giving a voice to those democratically elected even if you disagree with them. The main two parties love people like you because you want to silence people you disagree with.

I don't think it will happen but it should do. Would eliminate the lack of engagement and sense that your vote doesn't matter almost immediately.

They should push for proportional representation. Nobody likes our current politics because you get this centrist blob to try to appeal to everyone that doesn't stand for anything. Proportional representation means that suddenly your vote matters again and it's worth voting for people you actually believe in rather than tactical voting or having no one to vote for if you're in a safe constituency. How does a lefty feel in Clacton at the moment knowing they have no one to vote for? Or a more right leaning voter in Liverpool? It's not right.

Yep. Zero seats please.

They really aren't. They are typing some words onto a screen. Some people aren't thrilled at the prospect of his return, either because they think he does t have much to offer or due to how he has acted previously. It's perfectly OK if you feel differently. You aren't going to change any minds with what you're doing.

I took the unwise decision to agree with him on something yesterday. More fool me.

No because I can't be bothered to counter your idiotic and disingenuous jibes for the fitieth time. Have a good time soggy x

Can't be bothered.

Really odd that we don't want to splash some cash for a really solid prem keeper. Really wouldn't be that much relatively.

A nonsense. I have no trouble at all calling out for example some of the batshit politicians on the left alongside all manner of terrible politicians and 'personalities' on the right. I've also voted for parties on the left and right of British politics because like I said I'm not wedded to a particular ideology.

No one is going to sue you know but what they will do is relentlessly mock and deride you in response and also point to posts like this when other posters ask why you provoke such reactions. As egg said already, the Tories have moved largely to the centre right and Reform is mostly filling the gap that they vacated. Reform UK are clearly on the right of politics. Associating them with the BNP or similar is the preserve of either simpletons or jokers.

I have zero interest in debating individual policies with someone as disingenuous as James O'brien but with even less intelligence. The point is that those aren't the policies of a far right political party. No one serious would be suggesting that reform are far right extremists.

He didn't play or contribute half as much as many people thought he would. Took a squad place from someone who may have had a greater influence in helping us stay up. I think that if you ran a poll, the vast majority would have considered him a poor signing on balance.

Ditto replacing the ehrc with a British bill of rights. Extremist far right parties wouldn't bother.

I wasn't talking about their voting record. You've labelled people as far right on here which are incredibly serious accusations that aren't backed up with anything.

No I don't recall attacking you when you spoke out against Robinson and Hopkins. I said I paid little to no attention to these people and at the time I had little idea who Tommy Robinson was. Unlike you I wasn't terminally online at the time. I'd say theres been an awful lot of terrible behaviour over the past decade in politics and I've seen some disgusting example on both sides of the political divide. I'm happy to criticise those of all political persuasions regardless of politics if I believe they've done something wrong because I'm not affiliated to a particular party or ideology. This is unlike some on here who simply respond with whataboutery from the tories. Not everyone and fair play to those who can call out bad behaviour from those they mostly align with politically.

What does nearest political party to something like the bnp even mean? They aren't the bnp. The greens are mostly loons but if the communist party of Great Britain packed it in, I wouldn't be describing them as the nearest political party to something like the communist Party of Great Britain. I'd be a grown up and not try to throw around slurs in such a haphazard manner. You claim to have had some fairly responsible jobs in your life yet your attempts to associate parties you don't like with the actual hard right is laughable, demeans you and suggests you are lacking in nuance at best and thick as mince at worst.

Agree with all of that.

You describe a significant number of posters on here as far right. Now you're claiming that you have no idea what they are. Glad you're finally admitting that.

Someone on twitter linking us with Jason steele in goal. I was just thinking we needed some steel at the back so looks like my wish is coming true.

That's the point my mate made. Picking too many players who have performed well for mid table prem teams is in his view a recipe for disaster and someone like Grealish should be picked because his standards are higher even if he's found it more challenging in the best team in the country. Have to say it was difficult to disagree.

Also you describe half the posters on here as far right. No one is going to take your definition of the term sensibly.

Terrible actions from someone on the far right is not relevant when someone is discussing wrongful actions from a different extremist group. Doing whataboutery every time it's mentioned makes it look like you're just avoiding any significant condemnation of a group you have greater sympathy for.

Why is it that so many posters on here when confronted with reprehensible behaviour from the extreme left, choose to talk about another group that have also done things wrong? It doesn't lessen the behaviour from an unrelated group.
