See Tyler and Rowe were offered contracts and Callum Martin released. Have George Ward and Dan Lafferty already gone? I was sure they were 2nd years?

Retained players list

But last time it was supposedly about a better deal then just when it looked like something might be happen they pushed further and wanted more. We want lower rent - we want FB money - we want leasehold - we want unencumbered freehold.

I think around this time there was still a dark stain on football from hooliganism it was trying to shake off. Not exactly seen as a place to take the family for many. Plus we were perennial strugglers much of the time - for a non die-hard going to watch a team get beaten wouldn't likely have...

But the financial argument is does it make more money to receive more gate receipts from higher crowds but little/no FB money etc, or the FB money from a much smaller crowd which reduces gate receipts?

I know.....

Was it pulled up with a furlong to go while leading by a length?

Dabo I'm sure would've come up due to Viveash and his Chelsea links rather than his stint in Holland.

He is. Was at the Belgrade a few years ago and talked a little bit about the football.

Victorian era - age of empire and strong belief of British superiority. Also the age of industrialists who were hardly renowned for fair employment practices so I imagine for them how someone who'd generated vast wealth and helped build the city made that money was of no consequence to them.

I agree. But unfortunately it hasn't stopped the Neo-Nazi element in the country either. It's still very uncomfortable for them, but in historic terms is still recent - within living memory for some. The only way you could determine the effect is to be able to view the alternate reality whereby...

IMO it should be removed but can see why it remains as he was the catalyst leading to modern parliament (even if his actions were effectively King in all but name) and without it we may have remained under an absolutist monarchy for much longer. He was, in modern terms, a religious extremist...

But the thing with Colston is was at the time such an attitude wasn't just acceptable it was pretty much expected. In hundreds of years time the entrepreneurs of todays may well be looked upon as despicable because they paid their workers far less than was fair and there was huge inequality. In...

Disagree. America massively airbrushes it's past. China completes hides theirs. I imagine a lot of less well known countries do the same. If we do have a troubled relationship with our past it's because we do try, in some way, to recognise that not all of it is pleasant. Other countries don't...

I agree about not obliterating history - the bad bits help you make better decisions in the future. But the problem is the history, as you put it, "is all there if you want it". Trouble is lots of people don't want it. They'll ignore it and just focus on the positive aspects and that leads to...

I assume you mean remove them from public view rather than remove them completely. We need to keep the memories of our mistakes alive just as much so we don't make the same mistakes again.

When you say those three pushing the statue down the round weren't blm are you sure you don't just mean 'black'. You know it is possible to support and sympathise with a cause even if it doesn't directly apply to you. But given you're a rampant Thatcherite which is all greed and me-me-me maybe...

Although I'm often in agreement with you it's not necessarily the case. Have you never had a conversation with someone who's fed up with the direction the country is going in and just asked 'why don't you leave?" Not in a bigoted or racist way but genuinely why don't you choose to emigrate...

Actually Gandhi was racist. Brought up in the caste system and believed people with darker skin were inferior. Churchill was a great leader but was a racist and a sexist. As for the swimming thing if true they're stupid.

Not sure about this as it further encourages echo chambers and bubbles. OK people who listen to O'Brien probably don't listen to Farage/Ferrari anyway but the issue we have with many papers/media is too much bias. Not that I think Farage deserves a platform for many of his views which aren't...
