From what I've seen, Social Media Warrior covers every group that you named.

Well aye, but on the evidence we just saw this season, he's probably good at least for another one. As you said, there are other positions which seem more worthy of attention.

Was under the impression that Diame became 'mint' when his position was changed. You're talking as if he's just been in a purple patch though...? What if he's just a better player further back?

I don't think she has a point. All political tribes lash out at each other on Twitter. Actually, if your point is that twitter is to civilised debate what a dictatorship is to democracy, then I'm in agreement. But if your point is that middle aged men are forming opinions based on the rantings of 20 year olds on Twitter, than I despair for them. And the writer of that article. Fuck it, and the Times in general. And you.

Have some of these kids been offending you or something? If the working class are flooding to the Tories because they're being called names, then they are certainly the immature ones in this context. Why vote for a party that will improve your standard of life when you can choose the Tories as a safe space to prevent against being called names... I think you give the working classes no credit at all. The reason the they abandon the left is because the left has generally had no message for them, preferring to prioritise other groups while maintaining the status quo and making it look like they're 'doing something progressive'. Not because they're being called names ffs.

Lemme know what you think of Mario then, I haven't tried that. I prefer the Super Mario Bros. style games they release to the blockbuster Mario title they release every few years, but that's just me.

Right wingers are snowflakes? I honestly don't think many people in the centre would be put off by those sorts of words - and if they are, then they're more interested in narratives than they are in policy.

In your view, I am the leading Corbynite on here, right? Have I ever used any of those terms? Who are you warning, exactly?

This has been pathetic

I'm curious about this too.

I nearly made that joke myself just to deprive someone else

How many mackems do you think would know that off the top of their head? One or two?

Seriously..?

We've all lost already, frankly. This shambles is a total distraction from the country's actual issues. Rising knife crime, collapsing NHS, who gives a shit? Let's divorce the EU without any understanding of what that entails, costing fucking billions of taxpayers money, to make ourselves markedly worse off.

Rationally, from a business perspective, you must be right. I think I saw something about him needing to be repaid if the club gets back to the PL in 5 years (which if you think about it, is almost an incentive for them to delay for year 6). But maybe Short does actually just like the club, or does actually recognise that his reign was an unmitigated disaster. Stranger things have happened.

His statement said something like "I'm leaving the club debt free". I think it's crazy but I don't see how we can spin that any other way than "I have paid off the debt".

It's in the interests of the incoming party to be presented in the most favourable light as well. And certainly for the immediate future, even with the debts cleared, they're going to have to roll their sleeves up and cut costs. There's still an age of austerity ahead of them. The problem they've got, I would guess, is that if it goes to shit again - there is no way that these guys will be able to save them. And sure, getting out of League 1 should be easy enough - but from the Championship on the basis of only spending what you earn, whilst also competing with clubs wielding parachute payments and the like..? yeah, no way. They're not coming back up to the PL unless they pick up a very good manager.

The state of this thread now mind... HMHM will hit the roof. He'll need the table throwing emoji...

I don't think there is a sleep one. There's one for throwing a table in anger though: (/>.<)/ _l__l_ I'm done now, don't worry.

Needless to say, -.- is supposed to look like someone who is sighing and disappointed with something, rather than a Chinese person

I constantly have to check my posts in here to make sure I don't start using those things as they are very definitely not TT approved The number of times I've wanted to type -.- at CT...

XD

Is every thread in the forum going to be transformed into a political showdown

not addicted at all then.

I'll say one thing for spacey, he's certainly created activity on here I can't keep up with all the posts atm.
