  1. Take the point but result papers over the cracks.
  2. Better touch and they were in.
  3. Played Boufal and tracking back.
  4. Get in. Total gift!
  5. Wake the f**k up Forster.
  6. Bottler ref.
  7. Forster poor.
  8. Was a fluke.
  9. Palace?
  10. Miscommunication rather than a bad ball.
  11. Still early days - today's performance is better than the Watford game.
  12. The idea that state aid and other EU rules are a barrier to Corbyn’s agenda is bit of a myth. http://renewal.org.uk/blog/eu-law-is-no-barrier-to-labours-economic-programme
  13. Can see that, though depends whether we play to Long’s strengths which isn’t necessarily possession-based football. Gabbi thrives playing off the last shoulder so will be see interesting to see what he does from a deeper position. Hopefully he doesn’t drop too deep looking for the ball.
  14. Well he did try something similar in preseason with Austin in the position that Gabbi is occupying in this graphic. Gabbi is obviously a more natural finisher than Long, so in principle, he’d play up top unless he’s pushed much closer to Long.
  15. Who’ll play up top out of Gabbi and Long?
  16. So what’s your point, little fella, other than wanting attention and to spam this thread with complete shîte?
  17. Still banging on about the Canada FTA without having a clue what it does and doesn’t do.
  18. If anyone wants to read a book on the political challenges facing the EU, I’d heartily recommend Ivan Krastev’s After Europe.
  19. You’re confusing political union and fiscal risk-sharing which are not the same thing. And the problems the commentator highlights -moral hazard and rising indebtedness- are not unique to the Eurozone but affect all advanced countries, not least ones with large financial sectors like the UK.
  20. It’s a variant of his beloved even-North-Korea-has-access-to-the-single-market argument.
  21. Yes British Muslims, on average, have more regressive attitudes towards homosexuality than the rest of the UK population, though how far private beliefs lead to public action is another matter. In highlighting Muslims, the implication is that there is something distinctive about this group, that it provides additional information about attitudes. In principle, homophobia might be found among the wider British public of which Muslims are a subset. Ockham’s Razor reminds us that among competing explanations, we should always choose the simpler, more general explanation. As such, you correctly use a baseline to show that attitudes among Muslims are, in practice, different from the British public. Of course, the British public is not the only group to which Muslims belong: they are also a religion, among other things. Just in the same way you use a baseline to differentiate Muslims from the British public, it also makes sense to compare Muslims with other religious groups before drilling down further and using more detailed ascriptions or categories to understand the issue. Thus, Jonnyboy is quite correct to ask whether homophobic attitudes are shared among other religious groups. It is not whataboutery or irrelevant deflection: it’s simply good science and logical reasoning. HTH.
  22. Why do you think surveys about societal attitudes use baselines and control groups?
  23. Is he one of your FM pals?
  24. Miltonroader aka 9-3, couldnt you have waited till Saturday evening?
