    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The reason the economy to them is based around the wealthy is because of the metric used to assess 'success'. As long as the overall mean average growth improves then the economy has improved and getting a handful of billionnaires significant increases in wealth is far easier to achieve than...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    We previously shielded everyone and that didn't work. That was your original quote. Maybe I'm mad but when we talk about everyone I assume that to include the people in care homes. Besides which we had the lockdown and the number of cases, deaths etc fell. We've opened stuff up and their...

    As is the standard of us and Arsenal. It's all relative. People we're raving over here wouldn't even get a mention at other clubs like that.

    Did we? Last time I checked sending positive cases into a largely closed environment of the most vulnerable people isn't shielding

    Realistic signings

    Is it that they're too good for this level or that this is currently their level and the league is actually inferior to what it should be because so many young players are hoarded in big clubs development set-ups? One day they might be too good for this level, but right now this may well be...

    OK, given the huge number of academy lads and U23's teams like Arsenal take on even getting into a squad of that nature is an achievement but lets be honest, that competition is the equivalent of the EFL cup or checkatrade for us. Nice to do well but frankly not high on the list of priorities...

    Statistically you're more likely to be killed by an asteroid, because although the chances of it happening are very low the death count if it does will be billions. Also you can't catch cancer from being close to other people. There's plenty of things we could do to reduce cancer cases in terms...

    But if he planted them for a laugh who's to say he didn't plant the Ten Commandments for the same reason?

    6 championship clubs need bailout

    Not necessarily. It could be considered poor performance and thus could be sanctioned. I think it should be allied to wage increases as well.

    England V Denmark

    I think VAR wasn't used at this stage last time either, just in those last few games.

    Save our standards - MPs reject amendment

    I was doing my best to be civil. Compared to some others who have just resorted to calling people a brain dead c*** I felt it was reasonably restrained. I was trying to politely point out on the other thread why the likelihood of why that contractor was chosen over others with the argument of...

    Well, they could just become special holidays a couple of times a year. Surely you'd still enjoy seeing the team play and visiting new establishments like Das Titz or El Boobies?

    Save our standards - MPs reject amendment

    Well don't go writing threads of surprise at something others realised years ago as being blatantly obvious. This isn't about bias. If it were Labour, or the Lib Dems, or the Greens I'll call them out on it too. I looked at what they've said and done before and used it to look at what the...

    Save our standards - MPs reject amendment

    They can't defend it. They said they'd defend and uphold standards, then refuse to put it into law. Difference is for some of us this is no more than we expected. We looked at their track record of what they do compared to what they say and worked it out ages ago they were never going to uphold...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I'm thinking that now there are more cases again not only are people more likely to get it but they're likely to be exposed to it by more than one source, increasing the overall viral load and thus making it harder to fight off. Plus as it inevitably seeps back into those more vulnerable groups...

    NON FOOTBALL RELATED SONGS SUNG AT THE FOOTBALL

    Just thought - when fans sing "Who Are Ya?" at rival fans why isn't The Who version used?

    That's the point I fixated on. It lets the big six decide the rule changes so anything they decide to give now they could, under these proposals, just remove quite legally in a few months time. So that 25% could well be nothing in a years time.
