I tend to be the opposite - I think I'm right. But I'll listen/read their point of view and take it on board and it can make me realise I've missed something or the've thought of something that can improve my own thoughts. If someone has expertise on the issue then I'll question myself more but...

I agree that why I enjoy the off-topic discussions here is because there's such a variety of beliefs and ideals it's a far better place to get a more balanced view of public perception than other areas of interest where there appears to be be way more groupthink and everyone is largely on the...

Is that the one where you have to paint a red cross on the door and a van comes around with a tannoy saying "Bring out your dead"?

I still think Brentford took their foot of the gas knowing there were midweek games and could've gone up a couple of gears had they needed to.

But on the plus side the underground scene has just got a massive boost.

I reckon they put the promoted teams on a fair bit at the start because it's a chance of a perceived 'upset' and it's someone different to entice audiences, inc our own fans (we've got a decent following as a reasonably large city) who aren't complacent about us being on TV. Plus arguably it...

8th on happiness index, we're 15th. Similar life expectancy (6 months more) Better climate Only $1k less on GDP per capita despite not trying to be an economic superpower or using this as their main way of assessing success. Nigher ranked education system A PM who actually seems to have some...

That's 4 of the first 5 home games on Sky in some form or another.

Dangerous precedent to set. Esp considering Dunk got sent off for a very similar challenge for Brighton and Richarlison got set off in the same game for a reckless challenge. It does feel like keepers think they're exempt from certain laws. Amount of times you see a keeper just come steaming...

Think we should go back to 3-4-2-1, but we need to make sure those wing backs are part of the four rather than becoming a back five. Let them push forward slightly and have the CB's able to cover wide a bit more. We've got two DCM's to help plug any gaps in the middle should they attack. I'd...

Indeed. If you do something kind or righteous it's because you've chosen to do so. So if any religion wants to take some of the credit for these good deeds by leading you down that path it also has to accept the heinous crimes committed by some. I get very irate at certain preachers who say...

Always a lag between changing behaviour and circumstances. With people on furlough and therefore still in employment, sitting at home with nothing to do and nowhere to go there's been a bit of retail therapy/home improvement going on. As that changes and the situation leads to more...

It's rife. Arsenal were going to sack their mascot (£20k pa) for cost-savings the same day they spent £45m and £220k pw on Partey.

It does seem odd. He tries to get Godden to play in behind despite not having a great deal of pace, hence he gets offside. Meanwhile Baka has pace to burn and is told to drop deep and win headers because he's 6'4''. If MR wanted someone to drop deep and challenge aerially yesterday he should've...

I still think I'd like to see more joint ownership of private with local authority.

The last thing a dictator would tell you to do is 'trot off' and letting you carry on freely, giving you the opportunity to tell others of what you think. They'd be keeping you on a very short leash to prevent you doing exactly that.

Nonsense. It's people like this that have reduced white extremism. I think there's very very few people who don't think that there is a very small group of Muslim's who are extremist and a genuine threat to people and society in general. But the second you agree to such a statement the...

Difference is those ones you mention are questioned, ridiculed and pulled apart for the nonsense they are. People who believe them aren't given tax exemptions or have their concerns considered, or indeed built into, how society works and is legislated for. They're largely castigated rather than...

How many of them were clapping the NHS just a few months ago?

I agree. It should been the other way round with Godden going for the initial ball for Baka to try and get in behind with his pace. But MR does still seem to be obsessed with getting Baka using his height rather than what he's more comfortable doing. IMO he'd have more likely been a menace to...
