hypochondriac

Why do you think you have been challenged so frequently?

I think wingers who aren't much cop for finishing are fine. As long as we get a goalscoring midfielder in the vein of sigurdson we will be fine.

Not sure what your point is.

I'm intrigued by this thread but simultaneously I have absolutely no idea what it's about.

Was it a Britain first fan? If the article is to be believed, the perpetrator has not been caught yet so how can it be established if this is a terrorist attack or not yet? If he had shouted somethibg like death to all Muslims then I absolutely agree it is terror related but it appears that the reason they are not treating it as one yet is because there is no suggestion that it is terrorism related other than the attacker being white abd targeting a darker skinned person. Acid attacks are cowardly and disgusting acts by the way and I hope the person who did it is dealt with swiftly. Edit: just seen they are looking for some Britain first thug. I expect once they catch and arrest him they will concede it was a terrorist attack. The authorities are pretty cautious about labeling such things early on unless its cut and dried like some of the stuff we've been seeing recently. Regardless, it's horrific and monsters like this bloke - if it was him who did it- need to be prevented from this sort of thing with just as much strength as Islamic fundamentalists should be combated.

Hold on, what exactly are you comparing here? The far left have been responsible historically for more deaths than the far right though in truth both ideologies are equally reprehensible. Nowadays the far right is mostly fringe groups widely condemned as racists who are a bit of a joke. The problem is that many get confused by what the far right actually is because idiots are so quick to label any dissenting voice a nazi or a racist. You understand that "Kek" is not actually racist right? The far left are in my view much more of a problem particularly in the west since they have infiltrated positions of power within many learning institutions and businesses. Members of BAMN and antifa have been arrested recently for arson and assault, people have had their heads cut open by bike locks swung by professors, been shot and heads have been caved in by these thugs.

Would you consider antifa liberal? Or BAMN? Or black lives matter? The authoritarian left is just as bad - if not worse- than the far right. The rest of your points aren't worth addressing because they have either been debunked in this thread before or you have just written stuff to try to get a rise from me.

Fair enough. The points it makes are still very fair though and worthy of discussion.

A really interesting article from a Liberal site that everyone- particularly people like soggy- should read: http://nypost.com/2017/06/30/the-tolerant-left-has-no-problem-bashing-those-who-speak-out-against-muslim-extremists/amp/

What sort of weird world do you come from where not wearing a tie equals a lack of professionalism? It's football ffs not dining at Buckingham Palace.

[emoji23] what on earth are you talking about? Some right nutters frequent this forum.

I didn't believe that but then someone showed me his belt buckle and it suddenly became so obvious.

It's bizarre. A thread about terrorist attacks is in soggy's world not allowed to discuss the biggest cause of these attacks (Islamic extremism) and their followers without first discussing every other criminal act committed by a non Muslim just in case people forget that non Muslims commit crimes too. It might be useful to use a disclaimer at the top of the page like "everyone posting here acknowledges that terrorist attacks and many other crimes are committed on a daily basis by people of every faith. Discussing the problem of Islamic extremism and the many attacks committed by these people does not change this fact." Maybe that would keep him quiet for a bit but I doubt it.

Thanks. I'll have a look at that and ask elsewhere.

I have an event that requires a sign up that I am advertising through Facebook. It requires a fairly simple landing page with a few details on it that I don't have time to create. I just wondered if someone capable fancied the job off here before I go to look for a media company- shouldn't take more than a couple of hours and I'll pay obviously. Let me know.

Players will leave abd they will say something like "we had no intention of selling players but pellegrino has decided to let some go for squad harmony and to improve the squad." it would be naive to think otherwise.

It doesn't sit easily with me either but the alternative is much worse.

University education should be free for the top achievers who take subjects where we need people such as the STEM fields. Gender studies, women's studies and other identity politics nonsense should be discouraged wherever possible.

Oh I absolutely do not attribute it solely to teaching but it undoubtedly has a very significant impact and not just in the UK. Have you seen the ordeals that the likes of Jordan peterson have had to go through? Or that American university last week who was urged to resign because he refused to leave the university due to the colour of his skin? Or the university lecturers who have been unmasked as antifa members who have been hitting people in the head with bike locks? It's disgusting, dangerous and is contributing to this far left plague by playing on the idealism that you rightly state is a characteristic of the young.

Not sure I can agree that that sort of thing is widespread in more conservative areas. My experience (and what we can see with demonstrations and some of the Liberal idiocy at top universities) suggests that there is a fair amount of this leftie bias infecting the minds of the young. No wonder someone as unpalatable as corbyn is viewed as a saviour by them.

A superb article and sums up one of the main problems for me.

Pochettino sounded like an uninspiring nobody and he was superb.

Good shout. Bell-end-agrino an early front runner.

I'm really struggling to come up with a mocking nickname for him when we start doing badly. Doesn't bode well.

Can certainly agree there. Thanks to whoever put up the financial times link, it was a good read and a neat summary of how much the country has changed since the 90s.
