hypochondriac

I doubt we'd buy him if that was our conclusion. Even if he is worse than he was a few seasons ago, we aren't going to get much better for that sort of money. I don't see how we can totally write him off based on his injuries when we don't actually know what the problems are or what his diagnosis is. I'd trust the club to know more about it before bidding.

That's the supposed valuation from Liverpool, it doesn't mean we have any intention of paying it (in fact it says we want to pay about half that which seems about right.)

Thanks for the friendly advice but I hope you're not offended if I choose to ignore the advice from someone who routinely compares posters on a messageboard to Islamic State.

What ten million? I think we'd struggle to get better than ings for that price.

It would be a risk undoubtedly but I'd rather give him a go if the choice is to get him in or stick with what we've got because we know from past experience that doesn't work.

Just bizarre. I was asked what I thought would be a better alternative and I gave my answer. As I already said, people are obviously free to do what they like, I'm not commanding anyone to do anything but they can hardly expect to be free from criticism when what they are doing is largely pointless in the opinion of many. And you're one to talk about spending a lot of time on an Internet forum considering the very public and embarrassing meltdown your relationship suffered due to your posts on here.

Marches and demonstrations with a common purpose and a practical plan to create a positive change are not normally a waste of time. The problem with these sort of demonstrations of late are that if you asked 100 people what the purpose was you would get 100 different responses. It was similar with the women marches last year which were more about screeching at the sky and virtue signalling than actually attempting to do anything of practical use. They had people interviewing participants asking them why they were marching and every single person gave a totally different answer. If the point is to vent collective frustration then I think it's mostly pointless And yes for many who participated, the protest was primarily self indulgent.

People are free to do as they wish but they certainly aren't free from criticism for doing it.

That depends doesn't it. Worried about trumps treatment of immigrants? Maybe contribute to a charity that assists them or donate your time for a similar cause. Want to hurt trump financially? Perhaps attempt a grassroots movement of people who pledge to reduce their dependence on US electronics. Maybe consider talking calmly to Americans who disagree with your stance and try to persuade them of your point of view? Whatever you decide there are a myriad of things you can do that would be more productive than hitting a pan in the street or flying a giant trump baby balloon around the country. The very fact that peple raged multiple thousands for that and a sadiq Khan balloon is depressing, particularly when you could have just donated that money to deserving causes and had a much greater positive impact. Many make a big thing about loving Trumps hate but if all that amounts to is this sort of thing for the vast majority then it essentially does absolutely nothing. That isn't to say that there aren't people who do put their money where their mouth is and do something practical but they are hardly the majority.

Indeed. I see there is a resist placard in the background. I'd love to know what the owner of that placard has done in a personal capacity to "resist" other than dress in a funny costume and smack pots and pans in public. I suspect the answer would be nothing...

That's kind of true but from memory we had a decent pre season under portvliet and people were predicting we would absolutely storm the championship. Didn't really work out...

Not really. It's a political YouTube channel I'm subscribed to that popped up in my notifications. Seems like it gives a flavour of the types of things on offer for the protest yesterday.

What do you reckon this individual is? Commie or evil capitalist?

It wasn’t me unfortunately and as you are well aware, I denied it was me at the time and you have zero evidence to the contrary. Anyway no way of proving it either way as it was over a decade ago so best we return to the subject of trump.

Hi buzzin orn. How sad to spend so much time on here back in the day whilst supporting another team! Sadly for you my ex girlfriend did indeed post on here although it was over a decade ago now and I'm happily married. I'm flattered you would remember something like that all these years later.

Nope. Enjoyed the sun at St James Park most of the afternoon and off home for dinner. Enjoy but try not to make too many negative assumptions based on appearance like you have done in this thread.

A) Yet you can't point to a single post as evidence B) The fact you equate Donald Trump with fascism is a terrible insult to all those who suffered and died under the awful nazi regime. Maybe get some perspective and read some history. If all those who turned up yesterday had volunteered at a charitable organisation instead of banging pots and pans, they could have made an actual positive different to people's lives. C) it's one of those mythical things that is clear to you and soggy. It's sad how both your minds work. You must be mind readers being able to ascertain intent better than the person who posted.

A) I don't care. You already believe I'm a irredeemable alt right supporter and a racist with no evidence so what you believe is of no consequence. B) I'm entitled to an opinion the same as anyone else. What do you think it's achieved? C) Seems fairly obvious to me. There's only one individual on the floor in that photo.

My point was that if the level of protest amounted to dressing up in an unusual outfit and posing in front of a trump balloon then it really hasn't achieved anything of any note at all. The fact your mind leaped straight to something about homosexuals is concerning.

Don't you mean people of colour? "Black" is a hateful slur I'm afraid. I think you really need some diversity and inclusivity training.

Anyway let's return to trump now. This hurtful discussion denying the humanity of trans individuals is helping no one.

People being the hard left supporters jonnyboy and soggy. No evidence provided but jonnyboy and soggy "know". I think I'll sleep soundly with that level of certainty!

Why would you assume they would be homosexual when they are just likely to be a trans woman? Very unfortunate to have a mindset like that. It's little surprise that these character assassinations are coming from the likes of jonnyboy and soggy- undoubtedly supporters of the hard left.

And you're just proving mine. Still no sign at all of any posts to prove these accusations of far right support or support of far right figures yet the same three or four posters happy to fling about vague accusations. When did you stop beating your wife Jonnyboy?

Go and moan to a member of the alt right about it then. Your assumptions are worryingly misplaced and I have to wonder why you would feel there is an issue with someone being a homosexual.
