Why on earth would you want either of them to go?

Brady has been poor for most of his time here. He had a few good games pre injury. That’s it. Not a massive Hendrick fan but I can see what he offers to the team structure and gameplan. He has been ten times the player for us then Brady though.

100's attend East London lockdown party. Many more march through Peckham to support BLM. How soon before the Nightingale Hospital has to re-open. It is all the fault of the government. Difficult for the govt after backing Cummings imo. They’ve lost face. The above however is the fault of selfish di...

Favourite Actor - Tremendous. I was talking to someone who had met him out in California. I’m not an envious type of person but in this instance definitely.

‘A little knowledge is a dangerous thing’ Get proper advice. For all the purported ‘experts’ there are plenty that lose money by doing things on the cheap and because they are ‘in the know’. I pay my accountant large fees but he’s good and knows his stuff. I once tried a cheaper one and it was a com...

What a ridiculous thread this has turned into. If you read his interviews and watch the documentary he isn’t claiming depression but just simply a disappointment of not playing. Imagine the reactions if he came out and said ‘I’m earning thousands of pounds a week without having to do nothing!’ The ...

Not sure how to post it but two squares up just to the left of the centre cross. Quite surprised. Some of the questions make you answer one way or the other when you might sit on the fence.

Blackrod

Not that fussed about him re signing personally. If anything though we are probably more likely to resign existing players as I can’t see us splashing out big fees on new players in this market.

Blackrod

There was a thread on this already. March 2021 I said on that and still think the same.

Blackrod

The governments message changed from one that was clear - stay at home - to one that wasn’t - stay alert. So it’s understandable that most people went from understanding the message, to not finding it clear. Cummings clearly didn’t respect the original clear message, and it’s pathetically weak of t...

Funny how you don’t hear many people talking about OJ Simpson getting away with murder. Apparently Cummings is the bad guy in all this yet OJ is walking around as a free man.

Eh?

Past his best.

Thought I’d give the 2nd episode a chance. It’s abysmal and the acting is atrocious. A flop in my eyes.

It’s one article only and I’m more concerned about the close proximity to other passengers. On many budget airlines you are squeezed in like sardines.

Think the oldest programme I still have is one of the yellow ones but I’ve loads the season after. Had to go up to Scotland straight after the 87-88 Carlisle 4-3 home game and remember trying to keep a low profile at the service station as their fans seemed quite annoyed.

Blackrod

I thought it was Scotland you cancelled? I've seen Cheltenham races blamed I've seen Liverpools champions league game blamed I've seen open borders blamed But other than in your mind have I seen people who booked late holidays in March blamed... Please can you point us all in the direction of that ...

Blackrod

Probably less but most people I know seem to be drinking more. Don’t really understand it when people say ‘I never have it in the house’ or ‘I never drink at home’. Is there a reason ? Why not ? I know someone who says this but goes to the pub a lot. He now has no choice but to drink at home.

John Smiths - generally acknowledged as the worst beer ever - the only natural ingredient it has was water

Just don’t agree with that at all. Plenty of terrible beers about. Bank’s Bitter off the top of my head would fall into this category.

Blackrod

Not sure they should be collecting payments when they will not be able to offer a full season of games. What happens to people who cancel having paid some payments and others who have paid in full already ?

Blackrod

Shouldn’t be any bailouts. Whilst clubs can afford to pay millions to players it’s tough luck really. They need to cut their cloth accordingly and a prudent business would not be run in the way football clubs are. Football clubs and players need a reality check.

Blackrod

Hahaha! You think someone who actually cares about people would have got it worse? I think we’d have taken earlier measures and saved way more lives. And come out of the lockdown earlier, also saving the economy. Johnson has done so poorly already, I’d be interested in your thoughts on how Corbyn c...

Blackrod

Lack of principles and hypocracy isn’t going to inspire public confidence at a time when it’s needed. One man isn’t bigger than the party or government. Should have gone as have other public office figures who breached lockdown rules.

Blackrod

They hadn’t invented the electric chair, lethal injection or firing squad in that era so not going back that far (or that backward)

Easiest way is to have it as part of the scratch card system surely ?

I don’t need to move because I support both Corporal and Capital Punishment. It doesn’t upset me either that other people don’t support these types of punishment. Someone who has butchered or murdered an innocent person deserves a harsh punishment imo. I accept that others think that games consoles,...

Strange, as the Oxford dictionary definition of liberal is;

'Willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.'

I'm not sure you know what liberal means.

This is the point. You can’t accept that others have different views to yours. I do.

Blackrod

An excellent player for us overall. Benefited from who was playing along side him. Didn’t start off too great at Everton but as said above it wasn’t an organised defence beforehand. He wouldn’t walk back into our defence at present though.

Blackrod

Liberals don’t accept extremely harsh punishment. I accept they have different views. These types are intolerant of others views. A ‘life’ sentence that isn’t ‘rest of life’ is not worthy of the title. I strongly support capital punishment but it’s hardly odd and others can have their own views.

Blackrod

Doubt anyone will do anywhere near 30 years. Even so that would mean the oldest out at 69 or the youngest at 54. A daughter has been lost forever. If they are not being put to death they need flogging with a whip and sentenced to hard labour.

Blackrod

Needs to go if the government want to preserve credibility with what they are telling people to do.

Blackrod

There really is an underclass in this country. A life sentence = up for parole after 15 years. Meals made for them, tv, probably games consoles etc. Just get rid of them.

Blackrod

Personally don’t think he’ll ever be much good for us. A major disappointment for me.

A large proportion of the population aren’t that intelligent and have no idea what 2 metres is. I see many standing a token foot apart.

Other than for the children of key workers it shouldn’t have been reopening yesterday. 1st June is the earliest it will happen.

‘Yesterday we were informed it was re-opening on the 1st June) .....’ didn’t think it would need re phrasing

Our school was reopening yesterday and we received a letter from the head saying so. Today we have an email from the head saying it’s not as the governing body say no. Does anyone know what is going on ?

Or maybe they want to work in a safe environment.

Yes. Increased rates and reduced LTVs on new apps. Many existing borrowers will benefit as per my last post. If it helps these people then great.

Anyone wanting to go to the pub or a restaurant in July ? I’ve got used to doing without either for a while longer yet.

For many who have taken a holiday they will find their interest rate has dropped in that time meaning they will be accruing the amount owed at a far lower rate. Silver lining for some which will help.

Samson was a great player. One of the few Arsenal players I liked. I remember the Ruddock episode and he didn’t come across well at all. As for the ‘demon drink’ referred to above it’s not. It’s the demon in the person who can’t control it. There are plenty who can ( as with gambling).

Blackrod

‘.... non existent threat posed to young children by Covid 19’

Firstly that is debatable at best. Secondly it’s not just about that but who they might pass it on to in their family and beyond.

A lot of your posts are strange.

Almost 40,000 have died from coronavirus in UK.

Imagine a full attendance at Turf Moor being killed. Then filling it with replacements and then they are all killed.

I'm sure everyone can agree that there is no place for racial abuse in football. Blasphemy though? How is that an issue for you?

The government need questioning more on this. There are plenty of other people examples of countries that acted swiftly in this respect( such as NZ ) and have seen much lower numbers and have the virus firmly under control. To say they acted on medical and scientific advice at the time doesn’t reall...

You can’t really charge someone for a product you can’t offer. Not sure of the legalities though. A bit of communication would help. As said above it is very hard to win fans back. Just ignoring them won’t help.

Good for him speaking out. Nothing wrong with his appearance now or in the past.
