He mentioned it in passing as part of his column. Muslims were saying he spent half he article discussing it which is untrue. Oh and islamaphobia is clearly an invention from the last few years.

It showed that he was better than pellegrino. That certainly doesn't make him good. Not for us anyway.

Agreed. I doubt we will sign anyone but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

Let's be honest. If he wasn't an academy player then no one would care.

If we are set on playing three CBs then we are one decent defender short. I don't want one of bednarek or Stephens to be a starter and I'm very unsure about Hoedt too.

Not for me. Not enough quality at the back or up front.

Absolutely. I can't see it happening but I'd be chuffed and it should give us some fresh impetus up top.

How true Of course there are so many problems with this tactic (for tactic it is) that it is hard to know where to begin. How about with the basics? Such as the fact that anti-Semitism is a centuries (indeed millennia) old disease, rooted not in facts but in conspiracy-theories, and which in living memory led to the physical annihilation of a third of the world’s Jewish population. Whereas ‘Islamophobia’ is a concept invented by Islamists in the 1990s in order to try to prevent any and all criticism of the religion of Islam.

Edit wrong thread

Well well well. How interesting.

I accept its tougher but its not a coincidence that our recruitment success has fallen off a cliff once the influence of our old recruitment team has disappeared. The last player you could say who has been undeniably a success is probably vvd with most other buys since then at least being debatable and many being a shocking waste.

Absolute cack. A couple of dribblers on here slagged mane off. The vast majority could see what a special talent he was. Wanyama was a special player when we bought him and celtics best player that had won praise from Barcelona and Toby had shown great potential as well. We can't buy mega stars but we can absolutely buy quality unlike some of our recent terrible buys that have been a complete waste.

I'm guessing that's a joke. The point is we can be well coached and have great team spirit and also get in one or two standout players. We did it under poch and whilst I accept we are very unlikely to have that rare set of circumstances again, I do sense a feeling that most fans feel we could be doing a heck of a lot better than we have been with both recruitment and coaching.

How about coaching, team spirit and also getting in one or two stars like mane or alderweireld. It's not an either or thing.

I'd like to know what changed from our statements about aiming for champions league to Ralph in December emphasising what a small club we are. Did ambitions change? Or was there less finance available under Gao than we had previously. If this is the case then why did Kat sell?

I've made my view perfectly clear. I don't know enough about Corbyn's personal views to ascertain if he is or isn't. As Duckhunter said, Margaret Hodge seemingly knows him fairly well and thinks he is. I can see why some of his actions would make people believe he is. If I'm honest I think he probably harbours quite a bit of sympathy for pro Palestinian activists- some of whom have views that could be described as anti semetic. Whatever the truth, he has handled this whole thing in characteristically appaling fashion.

"I have no idea if he is or isn't". How is that difficult to understand?

I've got no idea if he is or isn't, it just seems Bexy is arguing against me calling corbyn an anti-semite- something I never said. I can certainly see why some would believe he was given some of the things he has organised and how slow and reluctant he has been to address this issue.

Sorry where did I say that corbyn falls foul of the ihra definition?

Ralph will make an ill judged joke about women. Coxford lou will be offended.

Kindly point out where I've said that corbyn is personally an anti-semite. Thanks.

I reckon he could make the season even if we get relegated. I can't imagine they'd want to admit they made a mistake three seasons in a row.

I'm not sure I get your point. You've taken one example from a few years ago of some seemingly harmless lefty types at a protest and tried to make it seems like that is a representative example of violence or intimidation from the left.

As a comedian he would probably appreciate it.
