  1. Hadn't appreciated that he had that many assists as well, some season for him I'm more bothered about Ollie breaking 20 league goals, incredible that no one has done it for us in the top division for so long. I'm sure he'll be doing everything in his power for the golden boot though
  2. Haven't totted it up, but surely when assists are included as well no one is touching him for PL goal involvements this season
  3. And those comments from Riley are outrageous, what exaxtly does she think she's doing to help things with inflammatory rhetoric like that? Hopefully damages her reputation as a public figure moving forwards
  4. The disdain for the local community in B6 that you get with a very small minority of posts relating to new stadium chat/VP upgrades never ceases to amaze and disappoint me Presumably the same posters are more than happy for us to farm young football talent from the same community in our new inner city academy
  5. Definitely like Zatman said, lots of crossover with the abuse in the Catholic Church
  6. Can't have been paying much attention, this one has been bubbling away for ages
  7. Mods - we really need a vomit reaction option
  8. Have now had two emails off the club in the space of a week offering me 30% off a renewed Claret membership (let mine expire due to being priced out of regular attendance by the increase in ticket prices). Could just be a cynical attempt by the club to rake in more passive income, but interesting that people are starting to notice empty seats and the club has sanctioned a new supporters group within the stadium. Can't help but wonder if they're realising they've overplayed their hand slightly with the combination of price increases, TV and LG and want to get disgruntled core supporters back on side
  9. I'd agree it's quite a loosely organised grouping, but still pretty coherent. Comparing to anarcho-syndacalism is way OTT IMO. I'm ambivalent on BLM fwiw, the initial 'movement' generated real momentum, since then I'd say it's done some good work and some not-so-good things, but claims that there is no BLM organisation and its just a slogan feed into some of the nuttier gammon conspiracies about the movement IMO
  10. Presumably responding to the claim in the original post that black lives matter isn't an organisation but merely a slogan. Evidently, it's both
  11. Should note that I'm on the waiting list for a season ticket, but would have to think seriously about whether I could afford it if I was offered one now though with the price inflation since I initially put my name down a few years ago. I'd be pretty likely to turn it down if offered one this summer (which is doubtful anyway)
  12. It's both, really. As per blacklivesmatter.com: That said, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. doesn't exactly scream Marxist-Leninism at you
  13. The price increases have killed it for me the last two years. I had a membership and would do probably 10 home games throughout the season, price of the ticket is ridiculous really, before I've had a pie and a crap pint. Gave up the membership and only go down if someone has a spare now. I'm sure there are a lot more like me who used to go regularly but can't really justify the cost any more
  14. Sick of puns derailing threads on here, I'm signing off
  15. The overwhelming majority of female prisoners are previous victims of various forms of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of exploitative men. If we hope to reintegrate them into society the bare minimum is really to avoid revictimising them whilst incarcerated. Settings like prisons and rape centres that house some of the most vulnerable and socially excluded woman are where the rights conflict comes in. As others has said, the bathroom.issue is largely a loud side drama
  16. Played football with his son when I was younger, and him and my old man got quite friendly (which the old man loved, as you can imagine!) Terrible news - too young to have seen him play for us, but by all accounts a fantastic player and a lovely man
  17. His brother is a Villa fan, so I can't imagine his family's reaction would've been a sticking point
  18. Actually feel pretty sorry for him, must be gutted that his body gave up on him before he even turned 30. Seems a decent lad and if we're being honest it took humility for him to move here in the first place, as he still had a profile at that point. Not his fault we signed him, but what the **** were we thinking. His medical must've been a giant red flag
  19. Always remember him on the pitch with Grealish after the play off final and some pundit made them both wave to Prince William 'our future king'. McGinn definitely didn't look fully comfortable with it
