I am happy Viera is doing well. I like him and he's clearly a good manager, I just wish he was doing it with someone else!

He's always been class. But now with a bit more physical strength, a bit more consistency, playing in a position that suits him and with the right kind of players (Mwepu and March stand out) around him. All adds up to that class being ever more evident. One of those 'how long can we keep him'...

All this I'm sure. But also it'll be the fear he has of his own sexuality and his attempt to drown out the memory of that recurrent erotic dream involving Ant and Dec, a bathtub full of Swarfega and a large rabbit called Derek.

What you describe may be true now, but what I challenge is the phrase 'best we can hope for' I accept that faith may be fundamental to the identity of many. But unlike sexuality or ethnicity, it is possible to change your faith. More importantly it's also very possible to change the way that...

No. It isn't! 'Many people are racist, but as long as they are tolerant of black people then quite frankly that is the best we can hope for' Many people are anti-semitic, but as long as they are tolerant of Jewish people then quite frankly that is the best we can hope for' Sounds just awful...

Broadly similar but: I thought Webster was pretty good, especially as it was a come-back match for him, so would bump up to a 7 Would take Connolly down to a 6. Not because he was as awful as some are saying - and I definitely haven't written him off - he is young, works hard and is getting...

I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up. I would add that it's not just about limiting other people's protests. It's the self limiting that people do that I find so frustrating. 'It won't be enough' is (often in cynical and patronizing tones) equated with 'we shouldn't bother' and...

Was not expecting to persuade you of anything (I'm not that foolish). I'm arguing with you on an internet football forum in order to let off steam about something that I am genunely angry about and to avoid doing some work that I am finding tricky. I'm a devout athiest, but there are certain...

Please god.

The Rwanda point was made by another poster. I thought that I'd made it obvious I was replying to your post, but referring more generally to those using the 'what about other bad stuff' argument. Which is what you are still doing. The nub of your position seems to be 'other bad things dodn't...

I agree that they are looking beyond oil (though as we have always known and has recently been made even clearer, they have always done their best to make sure the transition is as slow as possible) and this is part of a wider, long term strategy. But I suspect owning Newcastle is more about...

Won't work, but would be the best way to keep the Tories in power for ever and make sure relationships with the EU go steadily downhill. IMO. The correct answer I believe is to get very rich and buy it via the tax haven of Malta's 'golden visa' programme.

It's about power and control. Building up a portfolio of assets that are important to ordinary people in the UK. Property, care homes, transport companies,football clubs. It all serves to embed the regime deeper and deeper into our society and culture and makes it harder and harder for our...

Like others, I am basically very lazy Yet I've done more with my life than almost anyone I know. So I like to think of myself as less 'lazy' and more 'easily bored'. I certainly have not made any money from my laziness though. Almost every time I have changed my job/life etc, because I'm too...

yeah, all those idiots, with their peer-reviewed studies and so-called 'evidence' https://www.pnas.org/content/118/4/e2014564118 There's plenty more out there, but I guess you can use google and understand how to differentiate real science from pseudo science right?

From a 30 second search - silimar to flu/pneumonia combined, but way above flu alone (I genuinely don't know if that's a meaningful distinction, or just semantics).

This for me. Better to take some relatively minor, and precautionary action now and hopefully avoid need for anything more significant as winter gets going. It's not going to be too bad for most of us - as the vaccine still seems to be preventing serious illness even as it's effectivness wanes...

My heart flutters not at all when the opposition get a corner these days (cunning blocking tactics aside). Sanchez, Duffy, Dunk. Nobody's going to be beating THEM to a cross! (while the commentators are burbling on about the 'aerial threat' of Big Dan Burn)

1. We all have to live with a bit of hypocrisy in our lives. Or we'd hardly ever do anything of value. 2. Not sure exactly where the hypocricy lies here though? Unless you've been holidaying in Saudi Arabia recently, or deliberately buying shares in arms companies with Saudi contracts? 3. I...

Lot's of flags get taken into football stadiums without problems I assume? I agree it's unlikely the club would actively support any protest (although would be nice if they did). However, if they took proactive action to stop a peaceful protest that would be very bad PR for them. And...
