If I ever get a tattoo…

I completely missed the date on that! I nearly gave the number a ring…”I’ll have 2 tickets please”!

Bloody loved that!

More or less spot on! I was correcting him being mis-named as merely “The Postman”…Which I would love if it was a strange homage to a 2nd/3rd rate mid-90s Kevin Costner film…but ours was definitely of the flying variety. Edit: now I think about it this would have been impossible given that the...

Mine was : “The Flying Postman”. What an entrance!

I don’t think Norwich defended well. We missed SO many chances. That’s on us not on their defensive master class. I’d even say efforts where there are last gasp defensive blocks, while they look good/heroic, mean that something has gone awry defensively at some point.

It’s been downhill ever since. 😀

They’ve got better…but not much.

Pompey looking the better side in the first 30mins

Just through the door…and haven’t read any of this thread but I’ve repeated this sentiment a couple of times already. What absolute fucking shit their game plan was…despicable. I can’t remember ever seeing 2 players booked for time wasting in the first half! Still it made the equaliser all...

Sorry, missed this earlier… A) im not sure I was ‘arguing’ and B) Im not sure I understand what you’re saying.

I don’t know too much about it but wasn’t the area where China now is basically kicking the shit out of each other for centuries?

Some Left wing people wear similar T-shirts now right? Che Guevara being the obvious ‘pin up’. I think there’s a certain irony in the capitalisation/commercialisation of such things. Maybe it’s about the ideologies behind Communism that’s appealing. In practice it doesn’t look too good.

No need to google. I’m not really disagreeing with you regarding the efficacy of communist regimes, just that many communists may argue that those countries werent/arent communist.

Hmmm…that’s an interesting point. I guess, whether you think as a political system it works or not, many communists would not align themselves with Stalin etc and might argue that those brands of Communism are abhorrent and not actual communism? I think there’s also a difference between...

I don’t know about that. I was taught as GCSE level that Stalin killed more than Hitler. Also, i would suggest that people get accused of being a socialist/communist as something to be derided for quite often…it’s happened on here…for expressing even left of centre views…or even centre views...

Ah yes. Communists are always portrayed as being ‘good’.

I’ve seen Norwich vs Pompey this season. They weren’t amazing. Got some big defenders, who were quite physical. They didn’t create much at all really but perhaps worryingly scored via a set pieces/a ball into the box. Pompey missed a pen and absolutely battered them in the last 15 mins or so...

Was it Middlesbrough and Chelsea? Chelsea lost.

Reminds me of a professor I knew once, he said to me, “Terry”, he said, “Terry, I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal'”. I can’t remember his...
