Yes I'm wrong but only because it was quite complex. Arsenal relegated. Then finished third in second Division, then fifth before war. First Division expanded to 22 teams in 1919 - It was Chelsea the victims of a betting controversy who retained their place despite being one of relegated teams - The...

They cheated relegation back in the post WWI days, but I would take great delight in them experiencing the drop, even more so given that a potential ESL club would then be plying their trade in the Championship, sadly I honestly can't see them going down, they struggled at periods last season, but ...

Doesn't Alan come across well in video interviews, nice and calm. He paces himself.

It looks like Bob Holiness (1956 ?) was second after Barry Nelson (TV 1954)

Caernarfon_Claret

Sorry Bob Holness was the last to play Bond on radio before the film series which means there could have been x number before on radio, then there was the TV series.

Sean Connery could have been twelfth for all I know.

Caernarfon_Claret

That is Bob Holness first.

Might have been Bob Holness ( of Blockbusters)

Went in for my Pfizer vaccination at 7 PM, had the injection at 7:27 and sat waiting to leave at 7:42.. Are we still losing 1-0?

Caernarfon_Claret

Remember it's only goals that won goal of the month that can be included, ruling out any Jay Rodriguez goals.

Vydra won goal of the month in February hence its inclusion.

I think it was inevitable that Ederson would win it.

And finishing below Arsenal.

Should be made to offer their content on a non-compulsory subscription model.

That's probably the best alternative.

Advertising revenue not robust enough to support a BBC showing adverts as well as the existing Commercial broadcasters.

Caernarfon_Claret

I used to interview people about the BBC. Very mixed answers when asked if the license fee is value for money. Of course here in Wales S4C is a beneficiary of the license fee, and here where 80% of the population is first language Welsh - a Welsh language service, whether it's S4C, Radio Cymru or wh...

You'd probably have to do it league by league both for % of players and then managers, and also for current managers you'd have to go back at least 5 years and look at % from then as if most managers are retired players there'd be a lag. Just as an example if 15% BAME players in league two 18% in le...

No female managers, shocking.

Advertising your own programming or advertising TV license is not taking revenue away from commercial broadcasters.

Caernarfon_Claret

One way to do it would be to sell of various BBC properties, break the BBC up, and keep BBC 1 and BBC 2 only. No adverts so ITV isn't put in trouble. So as an example The Natural History unit gets bought by Discovery Channel and they provide certain programming for BBC 2 - maybe a year after first b...

Caernarfon_Claret

Agreed. Make it a level playing field. If you commercialize the BBC, advertising revenue for the other commercial broadcasters will plummet. If you want to get rid of the license fee you'd have to scrap the BBC completely or possibly make it a subscription service without advertising. Commercial br...

In other words - you can't just scrap the licence fee - you'd first have to restructure the whole system, ITV, Sky, the whole lot - as there as a complex interplay going on. Work out a new modern system, but you can't just scrap the license fee as it's not just the BBC who would be affected. Even if...

Don't want to steer too far from the topic of antisemitism here, but. I think the problem with the terms "race" and "racism" is that they are open to interpretation, so whilst some of us look at them from a Scientific angle and see they are nonsense if you look at the Greek "genos" and the plural "g...

Also worth noting that Arab slave trade included the trading of captured Slavic and Arabic people as well as the Bantu people (Zanj).

Edit - and The African part of The Arab Slave Trade apparently focused on female slaves rather than male slaves.

Caernarfon_Claret

Presumably Brazil's involvement was because it was still a Portuguese colony. Up until 1822 when Brazil gained independence. Brazil abolished slavery in 1888. So around 66 years of involvement as a sovereign state. And around 300 years involvement as a Portuguese colony. Similar to the US involvemen...

Caernarfon_Claret

Yes, yet most people forget important factors, such as that Brazil was a huge importer of slaves but most people focus on the US only, slaves went the way of Arabia and most slave traders were Arabic in getting them to the coast where they were sold on as part of the supply chain. Also it should be...

Definitely Ethnocide occurred in The Era of The African Slave trade, a term I wasn't familiar with until about two weeks ago. I'm sure many of you are aware of it and obviously it's affects are still with us. Ethnocide refers to the extermination of national cultures as a genocide component.[1][2][3...

Caernarfon_Claret

Sadly we don't have the option of defining our own terms. Just as "racism" and "race" are stupidly named. So it seems "Genocide" doesn't adhere srtrictly to the Greek. The United Nations Genocide Convention, which was established in 1948, defines genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, i...
