    Squad numbers?

    You'd think they'd want the squad numbers out for the kit release so if people want them printed up they can be before shipping. Last few years lots of players have kept the same number for following years regardless, with one of two changing for one in the first 11. Giving everyone under...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Is there any research on how cold/flu with coronavirus affects people? Or those that have had and recovered from coronavirus?

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    This ones quite long.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    He's been allowed to get away either a fair bit already by complicit Rep's. If he loses he won't accept it, will call it a sham and rigged. I reckon he'll effectively put out a 'call to arms' to his base and we'll see people with guns actively out on the street trying to 'reclaim' their...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Yep. In the current era I'm not putting money on anything. His behaviour in office should see Trump already behind by a landslide. Fact he's only a bit behind tells you that a lot of people either are so entrenched in the Rep/Dem bTTLE they won't vote otherwise, they can't accept it's a massive...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I'm far more surprised Obama wasn't. Idiots with guns on the whole are Republican/Trump supporters.

    Champions league final

    Idiots with money never see past them though. The Galactico's era at Madrid was ridiculous. Didn't work as a team at all but every season without fail go out and buy whoever was considered the best attacker available.

    Julien Dacosta - CONFIRMED

    Trouble is we're playing them away on a Wednesday ;) But it is in April so it may well be wet.

    George Floyd

    I think it isn't particularly relevant today and seems to be there to hark to the days of Empire etc. along with things like Rule Britannia, Jerusalem and the other Pomp and Circumstance stuff. Wouldn't want to see it banned or airbrushed out of history as it says a lot about the era and the...

    Nationalism

    I'm right on the cusp of X and Y. I feel I've got more in common with the X than Millennials though. Never quite sure about them though because the difference between the beginning and end can be stark. Millennials for example are born through the Tory govt of the 80's and those born early on...

    North or South ?

    Warwickshire. West Mids I think for most is seen as Birmingham. Been plenty of noise from people wanting the region renamed Greater Birmingham because they have this one-upmanship with Manchester over who's bigger. West Mids from Wolverhampton to Birmingham is pretty much one large urban area...

    North or South ?

    With the Midlands if they're going to set it here it's going to be Birmingham, like Peaky Blinders. Up north it's almost certainly going to be Manchester, Liverpool or maybe Newcastle. The Nativity movies were done in Coventry because the author was local but again I don't know if they were...

    Gnabry.

    When Arsenal signed him I'd only really seen him play for Germany and felt he was a good player, but the reports on him were that he had tons of ability but the heart of a mouse. When the going got tough he would hide and at times you may as well play with ten men. From what I've seen of him...

    Ex Player Watch

    I remember once when we had our half time drink and there was no orange squash, just apple or blackcurrant. What a kerfuffle.

    Nationalism

    We didn't have our landline put in until about 1988, and even then no-one was allowed to use it apart from an emergency. I remember using phone boxes and the smell very well. Wasn't allowed to use the home phone to call friends until the mid-90's and even then only briefly.

    Nationalism

    What's untrue? I didn't say loads of people went to higher education. I said it was free, had grants and you could sign on as unemployed to those smart/lucky enough to be able to do so. So much of the uni intake when it was free came from the private schools who could have afforded to pay for...

    Nationalism

    This I agree with. Unfortunately in this age it has come to a point where even if you want to go without it it's virtually impossible if you want to have a chance with anything. I know i should turn the laptop off more often but I turn it on cos I need to do stuff on it and end up coming on here...

    Nationalism

    But nowadays a package holiday abroad is often cheaper than the equivalent time spent here. And despite the expense my grandparents did go to Spain every few years. My last trip abroad was over 10 years ago. My last proper holiday of any kind was 6 years ago on the South coast for four days with...

    Nationalism

    Well if you could afford to go out why didn't you just not go out and use that money to get the more important things you didn't have instead of wasting it? That's your equivalent of a Costa coffee and a pizza. You're just refusing to acknowledge it as such. So they could afford the phone box...

    Nationalism

    I'm mainly talking about my grandparents generation, who would've been young during the war. As has been said quite a few times and ignored by you is that we're not saying they had it EASY. It's they had it EASIER. Of course there were times it was tough for them early on in life with the war...
