    [Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

    I'd rather have a democratically planned socialised economy where the government provides for the need of the population - not the profit of billionaires. Truss, Putin, the Hungarian goon and the Brazilian fascist are all cheeks of the same a*se - working to protect the interests of the elites...

    [Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

    'stoic nature' - :rotlf: A mass movement of the British working class defeated the poll tax and brought down Thatcher - then Kinnock tried to out-Tory the Tories and put Major back into power.

    [Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

    Liz Truss and Keir Starmer - tweedledum and tweedledee. The electoral system is designed and structured to prevent change - that is what is in the interests of the wealthy eltes. When there was an opportunity for potential change with Corbyn the entire force of the economic and political...

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson

    Nah - you got the list wrong - Ferguson is not the best of those available - yet - but he will be very shortly. He is progressing at a pace that De Zerbi will have no choice but to put him in the team in the near future. Obafemi is currently the best of the young Irish strikers - Swansea...

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson

    Really - I have been touting Ferguson long before he signed for Brighton - since I saw him pay for Bohemians against Chelsea as a 14-year-old. I think Ferguson is going to be the best player in an Irish jersey since Roy Keane.

    Connolly was very good in the U21 game - played with a lot of confidence.

    [Football] Nations League & other international football, October 2022

    Duffy is done - he has four central defenders ahead of him - Egan, Omobamidele, Collins and O'Shea - he might make an appearance as a sub in a friendly but that is what is left of his international career. Molumby is a regular in the WBA team and has been playing well - Hendricks has been on...

    It is incredible how inept Hackett has been - I have never seen the likes of it before. Unless he shows a marked improvement I wouldn't be shocked to see him sacked during the bye-week (in fact right after the Colts game). Dom Capers is a senior assistant with the Broncos and could step in as...

    [Football] American invasion of the Premier League - the end of promotion/relegation?

    The billionaires will collude when it is in their financial interests to do so - they have been doing it for decades.

    [Football] American invasion of the Premier League - the end of promotion/relegation?

    Absolutely not - the billionaires in the USA are no different to the British billionaires, the Arab shiekhs or the Russian and Chinese oligarchs. In fact the USA is one of the most inequitable countries in the world because it never had a (now dwindling) welfare state like most of Europe...

    [Football] American invasion of the Premier League - the end of promotion/relegation?

    Time is relative - you cannot pluck revolutionary upheavals out of thin air - they happen organically - and we are heading into a period of revolutionary upheavals on a global basis. The outcome of these developments is much harder to predict.

    [Football] American invasion of the Premier League - the end of promotion/relegation?

    it is a little bit ironic that a poster gives out to me for 'pontificating' about a country I don't live in (knowing little of the history of Ireland and England or the fact that my daughter lives in England) - yet has the username 'Guinness Boy' :drink:

    [Football] American invasion of the Premier League - the end of promotion/relegation?

    Swansman is spot on - the yanks and others would like to have the PL as a stand alone league closed off from the rest of the pyramid. Actually - the yanks would really like a European Super League closed off from everyone else. Ultimately the Americans would love a system similar to baseball...

    Like I said - there is probably a two year window - this season and next. And if I was to make a prediction I think the Bills will win at least one.

    The 'creative accounting' will only go so far - in reality the window for the Bills is this season and next season - after that they will start to hit some trouble. The window for the Broncos (because of Wilson's contract) is next season and the season after). Some teams have QBs still on a...

    [Politics] Truss v Starmer

    From my perspective this has nothing to do with 'hope' and 'expectation' or 'doomy predictions' The reality is that capitalism is in its death agony - as has been termed by some people, we are moving from an 'age of crises' to and 'age of catastrophe'. The Capitalist West was triumphant when...

    I'd be shocked if Miller plays more than two seasons with the Bills. Next season Allen's cap hit jumps from $16million to $40million and jumps again the following year. Now the BIlls will likely kick the can down the road with some of that - but in two years time they will have to cut some...

    I think the Bills have to be considered favourites for the SB. They added some valuable pieces - Von Miller is going to be a beast. He won a ring at Denver - won last year with the Rams - could well win this year with the Bills - and then he will go back to the Broncos and ride the wave of...
