Sour Mash

He's (badly) quoting the conversation from the Stoke forum thread.

I thought it was a good, tough, enjoyable game. We were excellent first half, better than last week and could have been 3 or 4 up. 2nd half they did make us work defensively and I thought we stood up to the challenge well. So much for the "new look" Stoke. Long balls for knock downs from Crouch, plenty of iffy challenges flying in, I wonder if their fans seriously believe that is good stuff or not. Poor travelling numbers from them yesterday as well.

I thought he struggled at times previously, but was very good today - it was a real test at times, physically as tough as anything he'll face all season and I really thought he did well.

Block 44 is on sale to Saints? So block 43 is sold? Stoke really aren't bringing many down.

You're right actually, I've just taken a look and the ticket site doesn't look like it is selling for tomorrow.

I can't see that posted anywhere?

I think Forster has been good, but not outstanding. He looked shakey at Spurs. One to judge fully at the end of the season I think.

Unless I'm missing some sarcasm or a general wind-up in those posts, they've got some serious issues in terms of bitterness. I can't think of many examples of a team's fans that seem to care so much about how others view their team.

Agreed, ridiculous decision, just odd. I take it there has been a decision on Pelle's goal as well?

:lol: It sums the posters up on here, "oooh, it wasn't one of the nicer pubs that closed" Such an out of touch middle class turn out on. Just to check, were you able to get a nice brunch after the smoking ban? Was the chap on here earlier about Bath genuinely serious or a wind up?

Very odd decision. I've watched the goals a fair few times now and that didn't cross my mind once.

Yep, that was a cracking result for Liverpool. A Basel win would have started to pull them away from Liverpool.

No chance. Koeman and the club as a whole seem very focused on moving onwards (and potentially upwards) without the baggage of those that saw their futures elsewhere.

The first three points; 1) You do realise the net difference in those coming to the UK from the EU versus those leaving the UK to work in the EU? What great opportunities do you now have that you didn't previously prior to the movement of free labour across borders? 2) You think it clearly is "genuinely economically and politically practical to have a one size fits all system incorporating 27 different markets when some of those markets share the same currency and others do not."? Not up for debate or discussion? No cause for concern? What would be the economic impact as a result of us withdrawing? 3) You haven't answered the fair question - Do you think the Democratic process has improved as a result of being in the EU? My answers to your three questions: 1) Very few jobs would be lost. If anything, the job market would improve greatly for many UK residents without their wages being under-cut by large numbers of EU migrants. 2) Did we suffer from rampant inflation prior to the opening up of the labour market? 3) I couldn't care less if tobacco companies can advertise more or if smoking is allowed back in pubs.

Give up.

Exactly. Regardless of one's views on this subject, Moonraker's perception of Bath was at odds with reality.

It was a generally interesting link, thanks for posting, I am a fan of maps and that kind of thing. But I'm not sure where map 28 gets its stats from? I don't think they're correct for the UK or possibly out of date.

Which posts on here have presented Sharia Law as a "usurper of our present system"? And who on Social Media is regularly stating this? Thank god for map no.28 is all I can say, it really has helped clear out all the regularly repeated myths.

No,Ithink you are right on this. Having watched Stoke closely over the last couple of years, surely they'd have more success at rugby than the 'football' they supposedly play?

That's the whole point. It's relevant for some parts of the country and not for others. It's going to be more of an issue if you live in sayTower Hamlets or Hounslow compared to Bath or Harrogate for example.

What myths does map 28 debunk?

Quite http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2014/10/21/5329941/premier-league-clubs-keen-on-non-league-star-che-adams?ICID=HP_BN_1

Bloody hell, some Stoke fans with serious anger issues on there.

If your concern is regards multi-national", rather than "multi ethnic", then your figures fall down even more. On the basis that over 90% class themselves as "White British" and the majority of those in black/asian categories would also be British, that leaves you with a couple of percent at absolute best that are different nationalties. I know Bath quite well, visited it plenty of times, its a cracking place, you're lucky to live there, but lets not pretend it's affected in any way by mass immigration into the UK, your own figures demonstrate its not.
