    Capitalism- End Of

    Well if it's the only practical solution then isn't is about time it started actually working? Capitalism only has a chance of working if everyone is on equal footing, so all of the arguments about price competition etc can apply as no-one can unduly influence the process with their own higher...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm very much in the increasing public spending and investment, especially on infrastructure, during tough times and recession, as a means of creating stimulus as people have jobs and can use that to create demand elsewhere and thus more jobs. Plus there's fewer people on benefits etc so you can...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Got the distinct impression that they're effectively assuming they'll lose the next election so make it so all the shit stuff happens after that and they can say "Labour's fault". Of course Labour can change the plan, but in reality no matter what anyone does it's going to be pretty bad. So if...

    Doug King Takeover

    Got through the thread and still pretty much none the wiser. Instincts tell me something isn't quite right though so I'm definitely not celebrating yet and preparing myself for this to be another shitshow. Maybe it's just a lifetime of being a Cov fan that that's my default position and I'd...

    Doug King Takeover

    Bit dangerous given how we've played for large sections of our history and how we react to stuff. Just have people slitting their wrists at 3:02pm first day of the season cos we're not 5-0 up

    Given the state of Mike Ashley the last thing anyone wants is him following through!

    Doug King Takeover

    Just to state my position on events of the last few hours. I've no idea what's going on. I've never heard of Doug King. (When I heard about someone called King buying us out of nowhere I expected it to be a guy called Joe and for it to have been exclusively revealed by Greggs. I have no idea how...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Do I trust Zelensky? Not entirely, no. He has a war to fight and part of that will be misinformation and propaganda to try and get support. Do I trust him more than Nigel Farage?

    Can we do a Forest

    But arguably a less attractive proposition to signings if we've sold some of our star players. Or if the sign on the promise they won't be sold and then are, we've got some disgruntled players in the squad. I kind of feel like this year could have been our opportunity. We've already had a...

    England WC 2022

    I'm pretty sure the stadiums will be demolished after the tournament. Which would be a disgrace anyway given the materials and energy put into them but considering the conditions the workers who were made to build them suffered and those that died, it's a monumental insult.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    As a human being, I want to see it ended. I don't blame the Russian conscripts for their plight and don't want to see them suffer through a harsh winter. But realistically the people we need to be concerned about are those higher up. Putin would not take a break in fighting as a ceasefire. He'd...

    Hamer and Sheaf

    If you were picking the midfield solely on ability you'd have Sheaf, Hamer, Palmer and O'Hare. However, O'Hare and Palmer, despite their clear technical ability, as a pair may not offer the same amount of energy and tactical discipline that we need, so one of those two drops out of the starting...

    Fair enough. I took the 'if we got through the next round' as being implied and they were just mapping out the route from there on in.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I can just see Jim White outside the Kremlin. "And I'm hearing that Iskander is on it's way from Moscow to Przewodów. That's going to be an unpopular move that's going to upset a lot of people on both sides. The Russians are going ballistic!" While at the same time a load of pissed up Russian...

    Hamer and Sheaf

    But those explanations are just assumptions of what type of player those in each area of the graph would be. I.e. Someone how doesn't make many progressive passes and doesn't complete many of the ones they do is therefore a player not expected to do so. Whereas someone how makes a lot of...

    But the route would be the same. IF we get through previous rounds then we'll play on different days depending on if we win the group or finish runners up.
