Probably worried about his acca not coming in

Always preferred Gareth Gates

Moazzem Begg, one of the British Muslims that was held in Guantanamo went to the King David school

Proper shite Scrabble hand, that

About as funny as an aneurysm

It's an advert for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Didn't realise Andy Street had joined the Blues coaching team

I feel like the BBC's reporting on Israel/Palestine improved after the 2014 Gaza war (Operation Protective Edge), largely IMO due to on the ground reporting on social media which had not really existed before. Seem to remember a few examples of pretty egregious pro-Israel bias in their early reporting of that conflict, which was subsequently criticised. Things do seem more balanced now on the whole, whether my hypothesis holds any merit is debatable, but that's the way it has seemed to me

The rule change I wanted to post, but couldn't remember when this thread was started has just popped into my head (slow work day), and it doesn't look as though anyone else has suggested it so I'll revive the thread. A penalty kick should be just that - one direct shot on goal from the penalty spot. If the keeper saves it, the ball is automatically out of play and the game restarts with a goal kick. The odds are already massively stacked against the keeper and IMO its unfair that a keeper can save a penalty and then concede if the ball rebounds to an attacking player

I'd imagine there is, I remember seeing that statistic about the proportion of the baby boomer generation who own more than one home, was something ridiculous like 25% of them. This is partly the issue though, we sold off our social housing and now rely heavily on those people who own several homes to provide housing through the private rental market. The more that housing supply is constricted, the more that housing wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of the population. Hence why we need to build more housing units to address the affordability issue. Restricted supply = house price inflation

Under every single government since the late 1970s we have built significantly fewer houses than have been needed to keep up with demand. We need to build a lot more houses to even begin to make a dent in the current need for affordable housing units

Nah, you're alright

Hard disagree, it's much, much worse, and that is entirely because of the ownership. The complete death knell of any illusion of fair competition in the sport, and a key reason why I'm fast losing any interest in football as a whole

Some of the post in this thread are just utterly bizarre. Let it go lads

Spotted the fatal flaw in your hypothesis FWIW I agree in principle, but all the evidence from his time here suggests that he's physically finished at the top level

Classy

Couldn't agree more

Absolutely spot on

I can no longer afford to attend games with any regularity, I would've usually attended 7 - 10 home games a season

The officiating of Premier League football matches is subject to widespread corruption

Tbh for me it's 75% people talking about what a prick Brand is, 20% people complaining about the right wing nut jobs and maximum 5% actual alt right conspiracy stuff

Elon Musk is undoubtedly a word removed, but I have to be honest, I haven't seen this take on my Twitter feed at all

Got a sneaky feeling another team will be relegated as well
