Surely it would have been creepier if I had watched him in silence...? Rather than acknowledging that having done so would be creepy.

Honestly I'm just basing it on how risk averse Charnley is. I could see him incompetently enabling something like this, but I can't see him wittingly taking the actions required to screw over HMRC. Although I could see Llambias doing that in fairness.

If it's a loophole it won't be illegal though, will it? And I just can't see the club risking this level of scrutiny in pursuit of something genuinely illegal. I could see them going along with another club doing it at their end though, thinking that we'd be immune to any action.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/25/brazil-goalkeeper-bruno-fernandes-de-souza-prison-guilty Bruno, the Brazilian goalkeeper who murdered his ex and was released a few weeks ago, 5 years into a 22 year sentence, on a technicality - has been sent back to jail. Because Brazil presumably took a long, hard look at itself, and decided that no, this wasn't an acceptable course of action for a civilised country.

He could play in the lower leagues if he manages to keep himself fit for 18 months, but realistically, at his age, why would he bother? He said himself that he's going to have to retire.

Was a good fucking strategy tbh. Could still win it too given that we're not exactly free scoring atm.

Just looking at the PL table this year, West Brom are 8th on 44 points and are 14 points adrift of Everton in 7th. We should have no trouble next year given that this effectively means that there are about 12 teams in the division all just about shit enough to go down if they aren't careful. I remember being surprised at how well West Brom were doing earlier in the season, but it's now apparent that they're operating at their usual level, and that the division is just terrible.

I think everyone knows that they're down. Even Moyes will. They had to beat Boro for any chance of revival and even then it would have taken a miracle.

Well I think Caroline Lucas' voice is important, so I'm pleased. Doubtless she'll win that seat with some comfort.

If it turns out that the real culprit here is Marseille, as seems likely considering that both English clubs have been dealing with them, then this will surely be nothing more than a slap on the wrist. They have to punish West Ham as hard as us for one thing, and I doubt the FA is going to want to issue points deductions to two well supported clubs. It'd make next season a complete farce. I think the biggest annoyance is what ewerk mentioned about the takeover though - no one will buy us while this is going on.

Is that the one they've been working on for years? To be brutally honest, Chinese naval power isn't something that could worry the Americans. They lack any real ability to project their power outside of the immediate sphere of influence that they operate within, even with an aircraft carrier.

No idea what one is

Good, although I thought Farron had ruled out this sort of thing?

Yeah I figured that I should chat a bit rather than just watch you in silence EDIT - your chat was good though

I can confirm this is an unmissable stream Strongly recommend others check it out.

Stream is working

Where have you been anyway

Charnley survived a relegation that he was almost solely responsible for, I wouldn't guarantee that this will undo him.

I suspect the FA have looked at it and concluded that an 18 month ban is quite simply the most efficient use of everyone's time. It forces Barton into retirement and basically means that he will no longer be their problem.

But, surely all those consequences you've seen mentioned have been noted by fans? Not anyone who actually knows what's going on. It'll be a transfer ban if it's anything, but they'll not get it through before the summer window. Might even take months. Plenty of time for us to prepare for it.

I know, but I'm gonna leave it there to put the argument about how 'harmless' these people are, to bed.

This is Sargon again and yes, we know what we all think of him now, but this is a video about the problem now being caused by the now 'militant' SJW wing of society. Granted this is the US at the moment, but the organisers of 'left wing' activist groups (I use that term extremely loosely) are openly stating that they need to resist Trump supporters by 'any means necessary', and have repeatedly, openly called for and initiated violence. There have been fights in the streets with hundreds of people as a result. This goes back to when you had that nazi guy being punched in the face. I said that was dumb then and I stand by it now, because actually we have ordinary people now being hospitalised. These people make the left look fucking ridiculous.
