It is. But I thought I’d also credit the band who did it better. (Awaits further neg)

Psycho (kid) Killer - Talking Heads

War Pigs - Black Sabbath/Faith No More

Bernard Hill/Yozzer Hughes passes aged 79.

Israel have reportedly gone ahead with the banning of Al Jazeera. Only read about it the news, but I’m yet to read the comments of the Israeli Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

Worrying times, etc…

That’s a shocking decision to disallow that Bournemouth goal.

Could be. They’re still bad meffs though.

They were also singing “we played the shite on a Wednesday night and they hardly touched the ball.” Referencing a game in which we had 77% possession.

This can’t be accurate, surely? https://news.sky.com/story/sky-news-projection-labour-on-course-to-be-largest-party-but-short-of-overall-majority-13128242

Jabba the Slutt.

The Co-Op Arena stuff in Manchester is funny. Another event cancelled tonight, at the last minute after they’d already admitted some fans. The general piss up/brewery side of it all is the funny bit. The serious bit is the reason for tonight’s cancellation - steel bars falling from an air conditioning unit on the gantry into the actual arena itself. Bit mad, that!

Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo is the full name. It’d be a cool, Ancient Rome sounding name. If he wasn’t such a bad, stabby cunt.

A Palestinian Solidarity Campaign lanyard with their logo and Palestinian flags on it. It had a brass holder attached which had an insert that read “Boycott Israeli Apartheid.” All very non-threatening, despite her protestations.

This isn’t normal behaviour. It’s pathetic. Zionists were getting “triggered” by the Palestinian flag before the October attacks. That’s why the IDF have been seen, many times, seizing the Palestinian flag from people. Freaks.

“Mistaken identification.” Hmmmmm? I wonder what the nature of that mistake was? Was it a mistake made after anxious scrutiny of who was in the building? Or did they just see their faces and fire?

Hahahaha. The state of this lying fucker.

New banners and flyers at The Pit for next season?

13 year old killed in that sword incident in Hainault. Heavy, that.

“could” ”taking into account the overall context” Personally, I don’t find the comparisons between Israeli slaughter in Gaza and the holocaust to be particularly helpful. While they both involve the brutal, intentional and targeted slaughter of innocents because of their ethnicity there’s definitely a distinction that needs to be drawn between the slaughter of thousands by bombing and shooting etc and the rounding up of people on a scale never seen before or since to transport them to death camps where they were then killed on an industrial scale. So, I’d say the IHRA definition would be satisfied if making a comparison between the murderous actions of Israel and the murderous actions of the Nazis - the holocaust. But, I’d disagree that all comparisons between the current Israeli government and the Nazis - two right wing, nationalist, racist regimes - are automatically antisemitic. I don’t think that the IHRA definition goes that far, in its wording. The late, great Hajo Meyer, in his book The End of Judaism: An Ethical Tradition Betrayed, thinks that a comparison between contemporary Israeli politics and Nazi Germany (pre the commencement of the “final solution”) is a legitimate one. And a comparison that should be openly discussed. He provides many examples of why the comparison is legitimate - all of which stand up to scrutiny. I repeat my stance on the unhelpful comparisons between the holocaust and the heinous actions of Israel. But, that aside, if Israelis find the more general comparison with Nazism to be offensive, the best way to avoid it is to elect a non-right wing government that doesn’t (in some ways) act like Nazis.

It’s good to hear that the leader of the opposition has come out fighting against plans to cut benefits for people with mental health issues and has confirmed that, if elected, his government will reverse or won’t pursue such a horrible policy. Er, hang on….

This approach to interviewing advocates of genocide should be adopted by a lot more people in the media.

I wanted to pick two options. The delusional optimist in me wants to say anything can happen and it’s not over til it’s over. But, I picked the Everton game. After Palace, there was still a small chance as I believed that Arsenal had difficult games in Villa (which came true) and Chelsea and Spurs (got that wrong!) And I believed that City could drop points at Spurs and maybe Fulham. That may still be the case, but I think that the points lost at Everton meant that we’d still trail City by a point or two if we won our last 3 or 4. But the bluenose blerts can piss off with the “you lost the league at Goodison Park” shite. The loss there was the final nail in our coffin, but the league is lost over a season. We lost the league with cheap draws/bad officiating causing draws at Luton, Brighton, the two against United and the home draws against City and Arsenal. If we just won one or two of those draws, we’d still be in with a chance of winning the title. Particularly if one of those hypothetical wins was in the draws against City and Arsenal. It’s diminished slight due to our own performances of late, but there’s still a lingering sense of being robbed by woeful refereeing too.

I keep on flip flopping on this. I initially thought sell at a market value. But, I’ve just looked at his goal figures over the past 2-3 seasons (this current one included). And, I’ve looked at that graph that Code posted too. Then I’ve took into account the stop/start season he’s had with international games and the travel and time away from our training regime and team that that involves. And the injury that has hindered his season too. Despite all these factors, he’s still on for a 25+ goal season for us. Not to mention the assists. And that’s all while not quite being at the top of his game. His statistical history shows a player who pretty much guarantees goals. And, while Code’s graph shows decent figures for Nunez, he represents a cautionary tale when it comes to Salah. It’s all good selling a player who is on a bit of a downward trajectory, performance wise (are there temporary causes for this though?) but does their big money replacement (because, if sold, he’d need replacing with a new signing) offer a guaranteed replacement of those goals? Nunez hasn’t offered the expected goal return and has been abysmal at times. Who says that wouldn’t happen with any hypothetical Salah replacement? Or that they’d need a couple of seasons to settle? I'm like that fella in the pub on the Fast Show. I just don’t know and keep on changing my mind. At the moment I’m back to keep him, but maybe try him in the number 10 role or centrally.
