Both the Momentum left and the Brexit right are attacking the same thing, just from different sides. The establishment middle. I could not be more convinced that what we're seeing is an ideological assault on Neo-Liberalism despite the fact that most of the people involved in said assault don't know that this is what they're doing.

Fucking hell, had no idea Mourinho was so bitter about him. Will be interesting to see how that plays out next season, but it looks to me as though Mourinho is slipping these days.

Sunderland's relegation is about 5 years in the making, it's mental that they've clung on as long as they have. That said, they're going to throw the kitchen sink at staying up in the January transfer window. And presumably they'll get M'Vila back then.

Yeah they don't seem to think very much of Watmore. Pickford is held in quite high esteem but I reckon they'd keep him no bother. Clattermole would stay. Probably about his level these days anyway. I reckon Rodwell would probably stick with them too Much as they'd hate that. Borini would be off I reckon.

That was it

Palace seemed to have turned a corner now mind. Not sure they'll finish below any of Sunderland, Boro, Hull, Swansea and Stoke.

Oh yeah. What song did we play to antagonise him?

I'm not pro or anti Israel, I just want to look at things objectively. Israel is a murderous state that appears to have embraced Darwinism in its foreign policy approach with its neighbours. I also don't believe in a two state solution. I don't think it'll ever work because neither party wants it to. I think the British and Americans carved up Palestine without any proper consideration of the political consequences, and I think that there was a politically forceful Zionist movement in the UK especially for this. I am aware that a number of shootings were carried out by Zionist terrorists in the early days of Jewish resettlement, and that they eventually became dominant over the Palestinians through force. At least based on the sources I have read. I can't remember the name of the book but I'll post it later if I remember.

Aye, and that tweet saw the councillor immediately suspended with a quote by Corbyn suggesting that all Labour party members who are anti-semitic are immediately excluded from the Party until an inquiry is commissioned. Not sure what else he needs to do, really.

I guess that's true. It does all rather feel like a distraction though. Corbyn is the first non-Zionist sympathetic leader Labour have had in some time, right? It's a natural stick for his enemies to beat him with. I wish they'd all just stop squabbling and get back to attempting to put on a united front, but it looks like the course has been set already. The press will spend the next 4 years making Labour look disunited and rebellious.

Yeah it'll be the same sorts of jobs he's always had. I reckon he might get Stoke if they dispense with Hughes. Maybe West Brom post-Pulis. Someone like that.

All that tells me is that Corbyn doesn't believe Labour has an anti-semitism problem. That's not exactly anti-semitic. He's entitled to his opinion, and to be honest, if he came out and said they did, what exactly do you expect the press would do then? Far better to just tackle it case by case and generally play it down. It seems to be a very small number of individuals who are even being caught up in this.

Aye, Bruce genuinely isn't that bad. I thought he did alright with Sunderland as well, before it all went to shit. His Sunderland team were the last one that wasn't absolute shite, I think.

Be interesting if they got Allardyce back, but would he even want to go? If I was him, I'd take the year off. It's not like he'll struggle for jobs in future.

The weird thing with her is that it doesn't sound as though she needs his money or anything. She must just genuinely care for the guy. I mean, hasn't her father funded his whole defense? They were together when this happened, I'm sure. EDIT - Dammit ewerk.

Mine was 4 years and left me with about £19k of debt. It's heading the right direction now but I'm nowhere near paying it off.

Also, how come wolfy's epic above didn't get the credit...?

I'm struggling to imagine Pardew doing anything of the sort, although maybe I'm doing him a disservice...?

What a waste of space the sun is.

I'm probably being a bit liberal with the term but I've read a good number of cases of female teachers seducing and engaging with 13/14 year old boys. The sentences they get aren't equivalent. I don't even think it's called rape over here is it? Would a woman doing what Johnson did get the same sentence as him? No chance. But yes you're right about the thread. Although Ched Evans was the theme and we're not too far off that. I was just trying to answer quiff's question as helpfully as possible

No one has an answer to this other than its a double standard mate. It's considered acceptable for a sober woman to sleep with a drunk man though because of stereotypes about men not being able to get it up when drunk and so on. Also I would imagine few men turn around later and claim they've been raped. Those that do are probably laughed out of court. There's the answer. Not saying it's right, but I can't think of any other conclusion. It's the same reason that female paedophiles get off easy. Narratives are more important that truth and rationality, IMO. As for Ched Evans, the whole thing will hopefully act as a warning to other young men. Also hope he'll be able to redeem his career to a degree. Unfortunately, this may also damage the outcomes of other rape cases where victims do deserve justice. That's the biggest danger with high profile cases like this. Im curious as to what the guardian is going to say given what they published on the topic...

:lol:

I'm not entirely sure Villa's ambitions actually are higher than that... And besides, it's horses for courses. They need to be promoted and they can always jettison Bruce when they want to push on.

gamergate was about ethics in video games journalism!

I thought New York was the leading financial hub until around the turn of the century. I recall a lot of upbeat news coming out at the time it was 'confirmed'. Also, Rents, if the EU leaders can't see why this has happened, they're doomed to repeat it. Obviously you know I think it was a stupid decision we made, and that it reflects very poorly on us, but the EU should be paying attention to the causes.
