Yes, exactly -today was dire -totally. To be fair to CH, initially, there did seem to be more attacking intent, he can't be blamed for Knocky's idiocy and some of the goals came from our bad passing. But the usual defensive crap was evident as well, and taking one striker off, who admittedly...
Can I assume that you have not been to many of the matches this year? if you had, and had to endure the defensive crap that the rest of us have had to, then you would realise that it is hardly knee-jerk. Today was by far the worst performance, but many this season have been poor, and Ch is...
Buy you accuse Dingodan of wild guesses - is this not what you have just come with; a wild statement? Of course there are areas of the world where there is much to do to reduce poverty, but to say there are huge areas is not true.
Depends on what you mean by global. Communism was/is alive and not well in many countries, and I think I am right in that all have moved away either partially or totally from this. Communism is surely something you can compare capitalism with, and quite frankly, history teaches us that when...
Yes, very true reference Corbyn. I strongly suspect that had Labour been involved from the outset, and however reasonable Starmer may have appeared, there would have been the Corbynistas in the background with the sole intention of prioritising any move that might bring down the government. And...
Good that all is coming along well -I took much longer after both my hip jobs. I notice on the other reply that you advocated a broader approach straddling the parties which might have been better, and yes, on hindsight, that may well have been the case. Or would it? Labour and Tory are now...
Exactly -whilst it has it's faults, not the least in that excessive greed and selfishness on the part of a minority can be encouraged/rewarded, it is still a hell of a lot better than what comes second. Trust me -my family lived in East Germany. The first free election there saw only 14% vote...
Whilst it is true that the Torie's inability to compromise must take their fair share of the blame, it is not only they who should be castigated; Labour MPs, who don't want to leave even though their constituents do, have thwarted every move and good old Vince Cable, is wanting people to join...
No, I don't think it is a trendy view; I suspect that it is one widely shared, as she is in the middle of opposing camps totally unwilling to compromise, and as a result, the rest of Europe must be laughing and weeping in equal measure.
Good post, but how to find that middle ground-that is not easy. People are greedy and reluctant to pay taxes, but of course want the ambulance there in 8 minutes, should the unforeseen occur. Yes, we should look after those who are genuinely less fortunate, but again human nature will prevent...
Yes, this is the one that we get home afterwards -gets to falmer abut 17.35. We stay on the concourse, have a pint or two, watch the highlights (yes, I know!!) and leave at about 5.25. Don't be put off by the still large snaking queues -there is a train to seaford beforehand which takes a few...
I wasn't there ,though did think about going -sounds like I missed a great occasion. But I do find it strange that the situation with the loos should have been a problem. Given that the venue is close to Wembley, it must surely be anticipated that loads of men would use the loos. We cannot be...
I hope that your optimism is justified, but am not totally sure; I imagine that prior to Burnley and Saints, you would have said something similar about the 5 winnable home games, as I did, to be fair. As to your comment about those not attending Withdean -one might argue that THAT is insulting...
Much will depend on the tactics in the three "winnable" home games - aim for 0-0 at best, as we did last week, then your scenario becomes reality with frightening speed!
