    Site confirmed for New stadium

    How wonderful for students, being in such easy access of the ground. One of my mates went to the Lanch in the 80s and went to HR - still has a soft spot for the city. I expect many more fans as a result. If the club is smart it will do half-price or less tickets for the students.

    Realistic Expectations next season

    Quite possibly. There's an awful lot of tosh written on here sometimes. I'd file that comment with suggestions that SISU want to deliberately make a loss on the club for tax reasons.

    Realistic Expectations next season

    Last year's promoted teams hold 3 of the bottom 4 places this year. From the year before, Rotherham went straight back down but Wigan and Blackburn are now top half mid-table, having finished bottom half mid-table during their first year back. The stats are against us. On the other hand, we...

    Transfer Rumour Marcel Hilsner

    I was thinking about Kasta yesterday evening. It seems that it's attitude that's the issue to me - he came in all guns blazing and then his head dropped. One of two things could have happened over the break: 1) He gets his head straight and comes back determined to put it right. 2) He gives...

    Hilssner. The thing that looks like a 'B' is a German letter that represents double s.

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    Yeah but apart from that, do you agree with the post?

    Striker

    I'd rather have the player that Robins and the scouting staff want. I'd prioritise their opinions over everyone's on here, including mine.

    At last! Someone who does know the definitions. I agree with everything you write apart from thinking this quote is about the post-transition. The first sentence explicitly states he is talking about the phase before communism where 'the people' (whatever that means) own production rather...

    Haile Selassi

    So, this is so bizarre that it's difficult to believe it's true. I'm reading a book by Evelyn Waugh called 'When the Going Was Good'. It's a collection of his travel logs from the 1930s. The second trip is to Addis Ababa for the coronation of Haile Selassi as Emperor. He doesn't refer to him...

    It's not socialist democracy, Tony, it's social democracy. We're covering old ground here. Let's imagine you are right (you aren't) and Social Democracy is a kind of socialism which has private ownership of capital and high taxes. Fine, I may or may not support such a party depending on...

    I'll give you that one, Tony. Marx wasn't the first; I'm wrong.

    Democratic Socialism is Socialism Tony. They put the words together. Democratic Socialists want Socialism or Communism with elections. Social Democrats want capitalism with a higher than average amount of state-funded services and consequently higher direct tax. Or, the Right Wing press and...

    How do you suggest that I help them to understand the definition of socialism? I've already provided a quote from the guy who invented it but that's not enough. If you've read so much and define yourself as a socialist then you know... why don't you support me? I understand why socialist...

    I didn't decide that, I read it. OK here's a challenge: google the definition of socialism and then tell me how many pages of google you needed to scroll through before you find one that includes social democracy... not democratic socialism but social democracy. Or one that defines socialism...

    I'm not. It's a quote from Marx.

    The antisemitism quip was a joke. Do you honestly believe that I habitually try to slip silencing slurs into conversations rather than addressing the issue head on? There are many more who avoid original thought and the effort of honestly making an argument. Instead they simply diminish what...

    I'm pretty confident that someone who thinks that adverbs go with nouns isn't one of them.
