  1. From memory it's the only time I have ever left an away game before the end. I'd been looking forward to the game all week but to display that level of ineptitude was the final straw. We went for an early beer before half time and quickly realised that we had no enthusiasm to return. I enjoyed myself at the pub far more than I ever would have at the game and I've watched too many games this year to know there was no chance that we would do anything. From the reports it sounds like I didn't miss anything at all.
  2. I left after half an hour and went to the pub. With hindsight it was absolutely the correct decision.
  3. What an awful way to run the club.
  4. Corbynistas going apoplectic on twitter at Lord Sugar trying to suggest that him posting it is a hate crime. Roflmao.
  5. The point is its ambiguous enough to be a problem and combined with other incidents that we all know about, you can see why Jewish leaders are upset and why the average member of the electorate isn't going to be particularly enthused by some of the people that Corbyn represents getting into power.
  6. It makes a good point though. Do you seriously believe he didn't know what that mural was?
  7. Guaranteed its 16 and 57.
  8. Nah its definitely the theory about the antidotes. Definitely.
  9. The company I work with is 90% female, pretty sure I have an adequate grasp of this issue thanks. Thank goodness that the vast majority are how I have characterised them and not like yourself. Its why the vast majority of women in this country do not describe themselves as feminist because they realise it is about man hating and ultimately being unhappy and alone. As for mansplaining, a bigger load of b*llocks has never been invented. It's also very sexist as shown below.
  10. Did you meet him?
  11. How utterly demented. Why are salary differences being published for different people doing completely different jobs? The whole thing is mental.
  12. Roger Beeks, Badboysaint, Monty's turban, Benthelegend and saintlee
  13. Absolutely. What an odious excuse for a human being.
  14. That's the key point.
  15. Surely not? A middle class student socialist possessing an unrealistically idealised view of the world along with a double standard and a bit of hypocrisy thrown in? I don't believe people like that exist!
  16. Exactly. I've seen a hell of a lot more vitriol thrown at senior members of the Tory party or just regular Tory voters. I don't buy that it's just Corbyn that is subjected to hate.
  17. I think it's more just a hatred of the other side and just shows how polarised politics has become. You can see hatred on twitter and Facebook against May, the Tories, the Greens, so called "Blairites" etc etc. I don't think corbyn is hated any more than most from that lot. It does suit a narrative to think that Corbyn gets more hate though. In my experience it's mostly ridicule.
  18. It's basically a different sport. No problem at all with it but it's a bit cringe when they have the men's and womens football captains together in adverts as if they are in some way comparable.
  19. Fwiw I've been told by someone high up at the Echo that we want Graham Potter. Personally I'd give it to Hughes if he keeps us up as he will have earnt it.
  20. Thanks for that. Very interesting initiatives and possibly some things that other western Europeans countries may have to adopt in time. I definitely think we have to be more forceful about standing up for our values in a similar manner. Parallel societies are simply a bad idea and Foster mistrust on both sides. I've previously advocated for greater surveillance of mosques and an examination of ones that have been proven to harbour and encourage terrorists. Maajid Nawaz suggested changing the prevent strategy to the engage strategy and supporting moderate Muslims like himself to a greater degree which is something that I wholeheartedly support- although the problem there is that whatever the government initiative is called it would be dismissed by some Muslim factions who will aim refuse to engage to combat extremism from their community. I agree with your wider point that we have to firstly accept the problem of a lack of integration from a large number of the Islamic community and the come up with a firm strategy to deal with the problem that doesn't lead to racist attacks but which isn't afraid of tackling the problem for fear of being labelled a racist. I think thats an action that moderate Muslims, individuals of other faiths and the average citizen of the UK and Europe would be incredibly supportive of.
  21. Christ. I get we should be humble, but self mutilation is a bit far.
  22. We just have to hope the tories don't become so unpopular that Corbynites get in by default. What a depressing state politics is in.
  23. There's idiots in every country. I can't say we are much better or worse than loads of countries. Fact of life unfortunately.
  24. The vast majority of women are decent, hardworking people who don't want to get involved with any of this rubbish. They are fully aware of how odious third wave feminism is and they want nothing to do with it. I support those women who just want to get on and live their lives without manufacturing outrage or finding sexual discrimination where there is none.
  25. The fact its so opaque is worrying enough. Even more so given the reports we have seen whilst this takeover was completing and the fact the league tried to block it and subsequently changed their rules. There's enough there to be concerned.
