44 = 4 + 4 = 8, BK8 ?

He was one of our better players yesterday.

Help others? ... A Rotary club near you?

Only watched to the third goal. Probably, will watch the rest later tonight. Up to that point, I thought Cash was as effective as anyone so I gave him the man of the match. The whole thing was lackadaisical.

From their FAQ Some of the questions are slanted Most of them are slanted! Some right-wingers accuse us of a leftward slant. Some left-wingers accuse us of a rightward slant. But it’s important to realise that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions. They’re propositions — an altogether different proposition. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are more moderate. That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass. The propositions should not be overthought. Some of them are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger reactions in the mind, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy.

You probably are if you go by the people on this forum. There are communities where you would be a Bolshie

It's not the Wes Edens axis that bothers me too much but more the Nassef Sawiris axis. the WE axis is how much of your (and your neighbour's) money we are willing to spend for the common good vs the common good coming from working hard and smartly. The NS axis is how much government we want in our everyday lives. But of course, we do need to take the Political Compass with a bit of salt. I suspect the relative positions do reflect reality somewhat. If we were on an evangelical website there likely be more positive scores

Yesterday, Bruno Guimarães got an assist for the ball bouncing off his arm.

This has been posted before ... it's worth a little bit of fun The Political Compass It gives a bit of an explanation of what it is about and a review of where it thinks politics is at in certain parts of the world. I typically score -4, -4 or thereabouts.

I think both are correct in British English ... I tend to use center as in the center of a circle, but centre as in a shopping centre

In my youth, I voted for Maggie, and promptly left the country the following January. The interesting thing when I left I was mildly conservative and when I landed in Johannesburg the next day I was a leftie. These days I vote Liberal in a Canadian context.

Actually, it is the uneducated that dictate spelling and grammar. A European centrist would be a raving leftie in American politics.

It's OK ... I'd give it three stars, but if you're interested in that kind of thing then I understand. The general takeaway was there's more to empathy than just thinking one can feel what another is feeling in a given situation. It's when people enjoy empathizing or get hooked on it, it gets dark, especially in negative situations.

I think this painting seems incredibly modern considering it was painted in the mid 1400s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fouquet_Madonna.jpg

This game exemplifies how a nil-nil draw in football can be entertaining. Chelsea might feel a bit aggrieved ... robbed by Martinez ... such is life. 7/10 Cash I thought he had a really good game against a winger that obviously quicker than him 8/10 Konsa solid game 7/10 Lenglet 7/10 Moreno 7/10 Kamara I think Kamara and Luiz were off their game a little 7/10 Luiz 8/10 McGinn 6/10 Tielemans Diaby 5/10 Seemed to misread his team mates Watkins 6/10 Not as bad as made out. Despite the good individual play of the midfielders some howit did not gel and Ollie did not get the service. +9/10 Martinez Just some thoughts.

Has anyone noticed how dysfunctional the matchday thread can be?

Just finished The Darker Sides of Empathy by Fritz Breithaupt. Apparently, empathy is not all it's cracked up to be. The book is a little technical, but I let parts wash over me.

Dam Brexit.

The extra profit (not revenue) goes to paying off the interest first. Not the principal. If we could pay off the project in 8 to 10 years that would be a great achievement. So I agree with you it does not look like a great investment at this time ... unless a really cheap loan (2 %) could be secured over say twenty years. But no lender in their right minds would do this. The question for me is how many of us would buy bonds say at 2.5% over twenty years to finance the new stand? It's in a good cause and for the benefit of Aston Villa.

I mean, that is patently not true I think the opportunity cost(s) comes to: does V Sports have other projects on the books with a better rate of return? My question would be where the data comes from, what the assumptions are, and the math behind it. I have to admit the replies so far have been far from convincing.

Can you go through your assumptions and math please?

I don't have any special insight here ... but according to The Times Plus lenders/investors may have projects that have a higher payback than 5 %. NSWE would likely have to forkout some of the money themselves so are the returns higher than 5 % from their current investments? As yet I have not seen anyone do a ROI calculation either for the new stand or a pie in the sky new stadium.

So far women are head and shoulders better than Sunderland: Faster Stronger More physical More skillful Tactically more astute Better drilled But apart from that not much in it.

Yes, it would be expensive. The current Bank of England rate is 5 % or thereabouts. Looks like it's heading lower. But lenders will tack on a percent or so. They will also look at the profitability of the project and the risks involved. So lenders (and V Sports) would have to assess (bet on) the coming British economy, the sustained success of Villa on the pitch and general good financial management of V Sports.
