Do you know why Bernstein became an apostate? He was a dedicated Marxist and part of the Engels inner-circle... so how did he come to leave his comrades and become the founding father of social democracy? It was because many years had passed since Marx's predictions on capitalism and he...

I don't care about the Tories, I'm just happy that the country has been saved from having a nutter in charge. I can live with slightly left and slightly right and as long as we keep capitalism and free markets we'll be ok. Social policy is also important to me, mind. And I can live with...

I don't want to talk about the Tories. This thread is about Jeremy Corbyn and I came here to chat about the revelations about LOTO in the book I mentioned. I don't really want to talk about Starmer either but I guess that's a reasonable extrapolation for this thread. IMO his major advantage...

Starmer hasn't mentioned Palestine much yet at all. Once he does, that's a real vote-winner and will bring the blue wall tumbling down.

I know, he's almost as bad as Bernstein: he's an apostate. Heaven knows, he's such a sop he might actually be speaking for a majority of the population and get himself elected. How so very gauche,

'Gus, you are a prince among men; you play football like a God and everything about you is just perfect' 'Really good compliments, Matty'.

Have you read it? I mentally predicted whataboutery whilst I was typing and I wasn't disappointed. Read it. It'll cost you no more than £15 including delivery. Then ask yourself honestly if you still want that with real power over the country. No need to tell us if you do - it'll be our...

I'm the opposite to you, Laurence. Apart from a brief hiatus between the ages of 18-22 when I had better things to do I've been compelled to follow every game. However I've never been prepared (or had the time/an understanding wife) to write off an entire day to attend in person*. This season...

So many of them naïve and foolhardy, including today's. I don't blame the keepers - a penalty is only saved if the taker fucks up. I blame the defenders giving them away. And yet, even if some of them have been grifted by the opposition, we don't seem to have learned anything in the opposite...

Anyone read the book "Left Out" by Gabriel Pogrund? It's widely praised, even by some of the Corbyn outriders (e.g. Novara Media's Aaron Bastani) as being accurate and balanced. I'll finish it tomorrow. What a shambles they were, the country dodged a bullet there. It's so cringeworthy it's...

He's been poor for weeks now.

I like that they have a player called Colin. Do they have a Gary and a Geoff too?

Max is playing well.

Fucking stupid.

"Burnley can get it back". If they could bottle Clive they'd make a fortune.

Can you please take your politics onto 'Off Topic'?

We wasted good money in bringing in Camp. When Marosi was injured we should have put Wilson in goal and Hamer on the bench as the back-up goalie.

Sorry to be a geek. If they shorted the shares they must have sold shares they did not own. They cannot have a negative balance at the depository so they would have then borrowed the shares from someone else - for which they pay a fee. But I agree with your point. Only heard about this...

Lads, I don't know about you but I feel like I want to write off this signing immediately. In fact, I feel so strongly about it, I was considering crucifixion. I'll need a posse to get him up on the cross - please let me have an idea of numbers so I can figure out if this is feasible.

Our aim has to be to emulate Athletico Barnsley and Real Luton. They scraped themselves safe last year and have kicked on to be comfortable in mid-table. The other sides have so much more money than us that it'll take several seasons of small improvements before we can imagine troubling the top 6.
