    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Agree. We shouldn't be complacent.

    January transfer window

    Hearts say 'yes' but Brian says 'no'. << Note to self: insert a link to someone called Brian who thinks that Kastaneer should stay at Cov. Otherwise the joke doesn't make any sense.>>

    Bridge

    I once taught at the school Wayne Bridge attended (not whilst he was there). You up for it Otis? You'd love it.

    Bridge

    Anybody fancy learning how to play bridge? Happy to teach online. It's a brilliant game.

    Bridge

    Anyone here play bridge? Anyone fancy making a four on Bridge Base? I play once a week with mates but my regular partner at the local club doesn't want to play online so although there is a club game I've not been joining it. If nobody's interested I guess I should try and find another partner.

    Cringey football terms deserving of a temporary ban

    It's an Atkinsonism, I quite like it. My favourite quote about Atkinson (I think it was about him) is that he has 'less than 20:20 hindsight'. There was a quote from Richard Herring about Stewart Lee in the paper yesterday I like. He said that 'he's the kind of person to cut off his face to...

    Strengthening in the summer

    We'll have some money to spend. Another year of Championship money + I'm sure Hamer and Dabo sales. I hope we spend it wisely.

    What was said?

    Anyone know about property developing/BTL?

    I was wrong; I did say I was new to the story. It was the brokers that suspended trading and the US regulator has come down on the side of the gamers. They have started an investigation. I hope these kids have only put in money they are happy to lose because some of them are going to lose a...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Do you know why Bernstein became an apostate? He was a dedicated Marxist and part of the Engels inner-circle... so how did he come to leave his comrades and become the founding father of social democracy? It was because many years had passed since Marx's predictions on capitalism and he...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I don't care about the Tories, I'm just happy that the country has been saved from having a nutter in charge. I can live with slightly left and slightly right and as long as we keep capitalism and free markets we'll be ok. Social policy is also important to me, mind. And I can live with...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I don't want to talk about the Tories. This thread is about Jeremy Corbyn and I came here to chat about the revelations about LOTO in the book I mentioned. I don't really want to talk about Starmer either but I guess that's a reasonable extrapolation for this thread. IMO his major advantage...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Starmer hasn't mentioned Palestine much yet at all. Once he does, that's a real vote-winner and will bring the blue wall tumbling down.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I know, he's almost as bad as Bernstein: he's an apostate. Heaven knows, he's such a sop he might actually be speaking for a majority of the population and get himself elected. How so very gauche,

    Player Ratings vs Birmingham ("a")

    'Gus, you are a prince among men; you play football like a God and everything about you is just perfect' 'Really good compliments, Matty'.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Have you read it? I mentally predicted whataboutery whilst I was typing and I wasn't disappointed. Read it. It'll cost you no more than £15 including delivery. Then ask yourself honestly if you still want that with real power over the country. No need to tell us if you do - it'll be our...

    TLS - Birmingham Away - A Lonely Season

    I'm the opposite to you, Laurence. Apart from a brief hiatus between the ages of 18-22 when I had better things to do I've been compelled to follow every game. However I've never been prepared (or had the time/an understanding wife) to write off an entire day to attend in person*. This season...

    Penalties

    So many of them naïve and foolhardy, including today's. I don't blame the keepers - a penalty is only saved if the taker fucks up. I blame the defenders giving them away. And yet, even if some of them have been grifted by the opposition, we don't seem to have learned anything in the opposite...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Anyone read the book "Left Out" by Gabriel Pogrund? It's widely praised, even by some of the Corbyn outriders (e.g. Novara Media's Aaron Bastani) as being accurate and balanced. I'll finish it tomorrow. What a shambles they were, the country dodged a bullet there. It's so cringeworthy it's...
