  1. The format naturally suits him, unlike the dour May. Lets see how he fares with Paxo and being interrogated.
  2. Of course, it is little fella.

    The free kick is on Forster. Should have been saved.

    We were desperately unlucky in the final.

    Didn't wolves play them off the park (albeit a changed side) a few days later?

    Les will sack Puel - will give the chumps their sacrificial lamb ("Uncle Les is listening") and take scrutiny off his and wee Ross less stellar recent record in the transfer market.
  7. Jamie, I guess you thought Ali Dia was a professional footballer too, pal http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2017/04/11/4651763.htm http://www.smh.com.au/comment/our-public-discourse-is-weakened-by-onetrick-contrarians-20170524-gwbuji.html http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s4672973.htm #lapitup

    Thanks for the heads up. Dibden was and is always very eager to meet up with me. Inexplicably so. Sounds like I should be careful.

    Dibden/Jeff was fibbing then, dragging your name through the mud. Not a good look alongside his twitter meltdown as he pleaded to be let back on here. I owe you a massive apology pal.

    Why did the OB have a word with you? Something unpleasant you said about Guly, wasn't it (per Dibden)?

    A cynic might also point at the enduring irrational love of things French from certain quarters around here too (i.e. Pamplemousse).
  12. Still the same persona though...

    Emery? Jack Schittesque.
  14. Doris Bergen's Twisted Cross: The German Christian Movement in the Third Reich and Richard Steigmann-Gall's Holy Reich: Nazi Conceptions of Christianity are very good treatments of the subject. Steigmann-Gall's work is particularly hard-hitting.
  15. Verbal's rage against lefties is getting the better of him. There is a huge difference between stating that as a descriptive fact that ISIS and other jihadist terrorists use Western foreign policy -the belief that Muslims worldwide are victims of Islamophobia and neocolonialism as an effective propaganda and recruiting tool on the one hand and endorsing, sympathising with and even revelling in that justification, on the other. One does not imply the other.
  16. What's the rule when a player has 4 years left on his contract?

    Thing is even during the height of the meltdowns we always kept a few key established players to provide continuity for the following season. In the summer of 2014, we kept Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Clyne, Fonte that provided a decent defensive foundation. We've never been in situation where we've needed a near-virtual rebuild. This summer could test that, though I'm hopeful the likes of Romeu will stay.
  18. And Les got his promotion. A win-win all round.
  19. Thanks for the memories Caceres- it's been one hell of a ride.
  20. Finished reading Gilles Kepel's Terror in France: The Rise of Jihad in the West. English translation came out last month. Good book, perhaps a bit too subtle for some. Review is here: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2016/03/24/how-the-french-face-terror/
  21. As Uncle Les would say, trust the process.
  22. And what are they to say? You do realise that many of those who get caught up in extremism and violence are not just rejecting the laws of the land but also the views of elders and community leaders who are seen as soft and submissive.
  23. "If a Muslim links the terrorism to Islam, then it is an Islamic problem" in the context of the points he was making from a response which you highlighted in and from an interview you initially endorsed - yep nothing to do with him at all, Baldrick
  24. Adam Deen (Hakan Cerrah) I think he'd be delighted to be called a Muslim spokesman and scholar. Your metaphorical fan on the board who thinks he knows how to run a football club but in reality doesn't have a clue.
