Re: Going Vegan in feb

How are vegans going to maintain soil fertility?
Cannot use manure since this has come from "exploited" animals, not enough compost to go round and not enough land to feed the world's population. Low yield, dog and stick agriculture belongs in the 19th Century as do vegans.

Re: Sean Dyche

But today SD was right, Arsenal were constantly diving, we were denied a penalty when Long was pushed, 2-handed in the back in the penalty area and the 3rd Arsenal goal was offside. Score could/should have been 2-2 with a decent ref rather than the homer Friend. Booked 5 Burnley players too.

Re: Sky loading the Dyche again

Yes hard to bear today, if Jamie Redknapp is the referee we draw 2-2. Dyche justifiably unhappy but it happens most weeks now. How the penalty not given I don't know and Arsenal diving/cheating was there for all to see.
