I think that moans from, shall we say, an element among the more recent recruits to the Albion cause are inevitable re the signing issue. I'm sure some people would have liked us to have recruited some PL journeymen or 'taken a chance' on Neto. I am pretty sure we'll be signing a few more...

My German mates tell me Gross is like a much better version of Darren Currie, a great signing who can put the ball on a sixpence. So a wrong assessment. In any case I personally would actually like us to give the majority of the team who have performed so well over the last two seasons the...

Tony Blair

A reflection on the Corbyn/Glastonbury event and the Corbyn phenomenon, for want of a better word, in general. There's nothing new about Jeremy: he's been saying the same thing for 35 years. It's not a personality cult. He was an unassuming Left backbench candidate in a leadership election...

Some of the curmudgeonly comments on this thread are so funny! It is fantastic that so many young people are energised and that they don't even NOTICE the bile of the right wing press which influences many older people (or if they do mock up wonderful pisstake versions of Sun/Mail front pages...

ULSTER SAYS NO! But the man from Delmonte, he say YES! And he's an Orangeman too :)

What about all the pensioners who don't have an independent thought in their head and believe everything they read in the Daily Mail? There are generalisations on both sides. The balance has been redressed at last. Your argument about 18 year olds voting used to be applied to women. Before...

German friends think very good signing, by far the best player in a club that battled gamely against the drop

Right 41% Left 49% Electoral system nul points

Absolute disgrace. Exactly what the FA said to us. 'Archer has the shares' - it's a business matter... Bollocks to the FA/EFL. We won. So can Orient. I met many of their activists at a benefit I did for them the other week. Proper fans like we are. Devastated and determined. Solidarity.

Just over 2 weeks away now. Saturday tickets will sell out soon, others not far behind. Just to let you know Promotion themed beers and general celebration guaranteed. We don't do 'headliners' but some of the acts will be familiar :) Attila The Stockbroker and Alex Hall, in conjunction with...

This may be true. But it won't be Momentum doing that: Momentum is a separate organisation, although there are currently moves to make Labour membership compulsory. It will be Corbyn's inner circle within the Labour Party. Some of them are quite aloof! There is a ludicrous amount of tribalism...

I know loads of people in Momentum and have done many gigs for them. All the ones I've met (including the 'inner circle who organise) have been caring, decent people who want a fairer society. Many of them are young people who have never been involved in politics before. Simple as that really...

Narrow majority for left of centre, here as nationally.

Best manifesto I have ever read. Of course 5 unelected press billionaire owners will tell their puppet journalists to pour scorn on it, of course there will be cries of 'Where's the money going to come from?' I'm not sure that has much traction any more though.... A majority voted for Brexit...

Back to the 70s fine by me.Thriving NHS, T. Rex, punk rock, British Rail,utilities in public ownership, a British manufacturing industry, proper trade union rights and BHAFC in the First Division! We've done the last bit - let's have the rest (apart from T. Rex... RIP Marc, 40th anniversary this...

Hundreds of thousands of people voted for him - many those who had dismissed politicians as 'all the same' and had no previous political allegiance. I know, I have toured the country doing support gigs for him and met them ;) The stereotypical 'Corbynista' as someone with years of membership of...

The real blame must be put at the feet of those who refuse to serve under a leader twice elected with a massive majority, head of the biggest political party in Europe, with an army of canvassers ready to go in the GE. Having said that, in that interview Abbott made Bellotti look plausible.

Most of our press is owned by five unelected billionaires who tell their editors what to print (apart from Dacre who doesn't need to be told what to print because he is even more right wing than Rothermere). What they tell them to print is screeds of endless abuse of the leaders and ideas of the...
