I think this is an interesting new slant on the terrorism issue: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/15/alt-right-manosphere-mainstream-politics-breitbart The radicalisation of young, white men. We've had some examples of this over time (Breivik, Rodgers, now Mair (granted he wasn't young), etc). There's no religious factor there, so why are these guys doing what they're doing? Breivik makes clear he was acting in defence of Europe against a Muslim invasion - which sounds like the kind of thing an Islamic terrorist would say, just turned on its head.

Surely the promotion itself is far more profitable though? I mean, I get that your scenario is just hypothetical and the amounts could be different, but even so... So it's the fans being shortchanged, ultimately.

That kind of thing should be made fully illegal if it hasn't been already. Vested interests. Surely the club could sue under those scenarios.

Not like us to whore ourselves out for advertising...

No, it's literally just score updates. And yeah, it's through their news app.

That's fucking weird...

The Guardian does this fwiw. I get score updates to my phone as notifications. There's about a 5 min delay normally though - and weirdly, they don't show the final score, just the goals.

Indeed.

Rotherham fans seem to think it was a training ground bust up.

I put in the 'assuming we can get past Hull' bit for good measure Agree on Liverpool.

So, are we expecting the following in the QFs, assuming we can get past Hull: NUFC Liverpool Man Utd Arsenal Of the three of those, I'd want Man Utd. Although Mourinho might actually go for it as he may have a point to prove.

A Somali refugee... not a great time for someone of that background to do something like this. More fuel for the anti-immigration fires.

If all ten of them turned out to be Pulis it wouldn't overly surprise me.

I was parodying someone else Although maybe The Fish is just a more verbose Trump, who knows?

He move a lot off screen, draws players away and so on. You can't see it, but it's there. Trust me.

I thought Ant had decreed that we were ceasing the abusive thread titles Their hoodoo has worn off, no?

2-1 for me. This will be a good test IMO, in terms of viewing how well placed we'll be for next year. Not that I expect Hull to be there next year, but still.

You're the Australian sounding one, right?

Palace fans talking about the possibility of Hodgson taking over from Pardew. I bet that'll sting Pardew...

They have Not sure which I'm enjoying more... I keep checking on the Spurs forums to see what they're making of all of this, and it's fair to say that the shift of public opinion is now firmly against him. 'Worst panic buy I've ever seen', 'Someone needs to be sacked for this' and '£30m ffs' all feature prominently as sentiments. There are the odd couple who are still clinging to this sentiment that he'll come good and that we would have been relegated much sooner if he hadn't been here as long as he was Also quite like the comments about how we're never happy unless the whole team, board, and everyone to do with the club is a geordie. A good number of them are seeing sense now tbf.

Is that praise or criticism? I'm supposedly seeing this tomorrow but I have wiggle room to get out potentially. Should I go?

Aside from the standard point about how concerning it is for 'religious faith' to guide decision making, she could not look less energetic and confident if she tried. I have a question that I've been mulling over for a while for some of the older members on here I guess - I was first politically conscious during the Blair years, and while I don't agree with a lot of what he achieved, I think it's impossible to consider him as anything other than a very capable politician and a statesman. Brown was not quite as strong for me, but still good. Since then, we've had people leading the parties who looks worlds away from the same level of capabilities (both Tories and Labour) on those fronts. Was Blair a one off or has our political class been bottomed out?
