that's the problem with public figures, we judge them based on next to nothing

He literally tried to strangle a player mid game and publicly humiliated a local journalist for no real reason.

Bloody hell, we weren't that bad in the first half. Second half was outstanding. We look a far better team with Rodriguez in it, whose clever movement and play really helped us play some football, mercifully. Shout for Hendrick too who, despite being very frustrating on occasion, I thought caused th...

This. You only really need to look at how corporation tax receipts have increased over the last 10 years (nearly doubling) whilst the tax rate has reduced, to understand that punitive tax rates do not work. Fair tax rates do, and companies/people are quite willing to pay them. Everyone wants well-f...

This is what the Labour Party/socialists just don’t get. Those that earn more, tend to be the most highly skilled. The highly-skilled can go and work anywhere in the world. And they would. If they can, the “billionaires”, with property all over the world, certainly can. There will always be another...

So many to choose from but find myself going back to Ashes to Ashes more than any. Astonishingly good.

Certainly wouldn’t be starting McNeil. He’s our one spark in the team and if he picked up an injury we’re royally ******.

Swizzlestick

Tedious OP. Small mercies you didn’t mention Orient.

Stoke finished consistently higher in the league after Pulis left. They went down because of poor recruitment.

There’s more to football that what’s being currently served up.

Swizzlestick

Another incident in the game that I thought very strange was Taylor blowing for half time before the corner could be taken. Can't say Ive seen that for a long while. Again think he did because he got the original decision wrong. I just wonder whether he'd have done the same if it had been Everton. ...

Have to say the programmes / films for children on the BBC have been absolutely fantastic. Room on the Broom, Gruffalo, Zog, Stick Man, Paddington 2, Worzel Gummidge - all great.

Has Wrongo morphed into a bot stuck on repeat mode?

Is he also a former paediatric A&E and PICU nurse at Leeds Hospital?

Swizzlestick

Well, to be fair, given both Newton Dunn and Hazarika were there as guests , to review tomorrow's newspaper headlines. To bring it into the conversation would have been almost as irrelevant as your question. Bringing up that the political editor of The Sun using far right sources in one of his arti...

Was Tom Newton Dunn questioned about why he used the neo-nazi website Aryan Unity as a source for one of his articles or was that side-stepped?

Swizzlestick

Latest polls appear to show the gap narrowing. Still think the Tories will get their majority fwiw, albeit a small-ish one, but it's been another dreadful election campaign by them. They way they've dealt with the A&E story has been startlingly bad, especially for such a key issue, and they've drumm...

The board sanctioned significant transfer fees for Vydra (nowhere near the team), Gibson (nowhere near the team) and substantial wages for Drinkwater (probably won't see play for us again). Maybe they aren't the problem.

Swizzlestick

Our football seems to have gone even more functional tbh. I was very disappointed with how we set up on Tuesday night. City are a top team but we were giving top teams a game before. A couple of good signings would swing the pendulum back. I love the Premier League and want us to stay there. Champio...

Swizzlestick

Alas Matty Vydra was even better than him in the Championship and that hasn't worked out too well (for whatever reason). I know we have to cut cloth accordingly but I can't help thinking we need to set our sights a little higher than Championship players now if we are to improve. If we want to move...

I get that Levy/Lewis are hardly Abramovich, but Spurs did spend £55m on one player in the summer, so they're hardly going to be shutting the bank account off completely. It'll be interesting to see how a player like Eriksen reacts to Mourinho's methods. especially considered he's practically downed...

Wasn’t aware Inn on the Wharf was re-opening. Who is it that’s got that one? Always liked that pub. My mistake, looks like they just applied for a new licence - think Burnley Express must have edited the story late doors. https://www.burnleyexpress.net/lifestyle/owners-of-iconic-burnley-pub-inn-on-...

A proper pub which I was sad to see get run into the ground before it closed. Thr right landlord will make it a great venue.

Swizzlestick

Fair play to them. Not an industry for the faint hearted, but they appear to be making all the right noises. Great that they're getting involved with local businesses such as Batch Gin, too. Hope this and the soon to be re-opened Inn on the Wharf (which I still say has the potential to be an absolut...

It’s also a four year old interview shared by Toby Young.

It was this kind of ‘smear Corbyn constantly but provide absolutely no coherent positive plan yourself’ that resulted in the Tories losing their majority last time out.

No quivering. Just have a problem with people who only like to lay in to others while contributing nothing of note to threads.

Good to see people telling Elon Musk what he really meant to say. Doesn't strike me as the type of person to speak bullshit to be honest.
