Do you ever read anything to expand your thinking rather than confirm your existing biases?

Their purchases from us have been generally pretty successful - certainly they have a far higher hit rate than other transfers.

Was at the game (though the goal was at the other end). It was a genuine fluke.

How many absolute howlers did Boruc make for us? Arsenal away? Nothing else immediately comes to mind, though I'm sure there are examples. Forster's errors at Palace and Villa were pretty atrocious and on a par.

How are you going to fund all those players wages with that pal?

Thanks for the info - don't listen to the happyclappers and Leslieites on here. They'll try to silence and intimidate you but the truth will always prevail.

R.I.P. Spicey -looks like he came down with a nasty case of 'ethicitis'

Good piece on the jihadist mindset: https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/07/dear-leavebugs-its-time-to-admit-your-mistake/

Once a few go, it'll turn into a torrent. The benefits of collocation and agglomeration are too great.

He's a class-A c**t and wurzel.

Some kippers positively welcome it - little known fact is that areas that most heavily supported Brexit were not ones with high levels of immigration but ones that were most exposed to Chinese import competition. The basic absurdity is that Global Britain promises more, not less pain for these constituencies.

Yet it's not stated in the manifesto.

There's only one way to leave the EU? Behave child.

More faith and zeal: Liam Fox says that a free-trade agreement with the EU “should be one of the easiest in human history".

It's not just housing which has benefitted from a major boom. Assets, in general, have been on a tear since the 1980s. Globalisation, especially since the 1990s, has played a huge role in tilting things in the favour of baby boomers – the integration of millions into global labour markets has kept a lid on the wages of younger cohorts just as they entered the workforce while boosting returns to capital, capital which largely belongs to the boomers and lucky bores like Whitey through their pension schemes, share ownership etc. Verbal’s diarrhoea about generation X partaking in all this gets the dates wrong and fundamentally misunderstands the lifecycle of consumption, saving and investment. Most people don’t start saving till their thirties, if they're even able to – that’s established in theory and fact. If you were born in the sixties, you might have caught some of the roaring 90s. If you were born the 1970’s you would have enjoyed the asset price boom that accompanied the build-up of the financial crisis only to be totally floored. Asset prices have since rebounded thanks to QE (thoughthey look increasingly perilous) but if you entered the market just before the crisis–unlike many boomers who have lived through sustained gains, there has been a natural hesitation or nervousness to be fully invested again. And if you were born in the late 80s or 90s, forget it. Stagnant wages and student debt have made saving more difficult. And when, if you are finally in a position to start saving and accumulate assets, you have the prospect of mediocre returns to look forward to: http://www.mckinsey.com/industries/private-equity-and-principal-investors/our-insights/why-investors-may-need-to-lower-their-sights

Probably a bit of both.

It remains the fact you're wrong, as usual.

Or rest on his laurels.

Eh? You mentioned how the benefits system was subsidising single mothers and the young unemployed and I pointed out that the welfare state (including but not only the contributory state pension) basically shifts resources to the old. That's before we get into the fact that the old are heaviest users of the health system. Get your tabloid generalisations right next time before you spout rubbish.

Odd timing - didn't he sign a five year deal as recently as May 2016? I would have seen how he bounced back this season before committing again.

No odds? In English? You were the one who not too long ago was blurting on about the constitutional significance of conventions like the Salisbury Convention. Yeh manifesto pledges make no odds

You seem to get very riled and make less and less sense on this issue grandaddy You do realise that over-60s account for three quarters of benefit spending? Basically, the tax and benefits system shifts resources from the middle-aged to the old and to the young and from men to women.

Was it in the manifesto? Simple point that even you should be able to understand.

Who Glasgow or ALWAYS_SFC?

Am no fan of Corbyn but let's be accurate: the debt wipeout idea never appeared in the manifesto, so claims he's u-turning or misleading people are greatly exaggerated.
