  1. Thing is she isn't indicative of cancel culture - she is just a very horrible person who has little or no talent and has been reduced to trolling. She can still say what she wants that is her right, but she doesn't have the right to a job at a newspaper. I do think cancel culture is a thing - but this isn't an example of it.
  2. But they weren't they were sent about MPs not in their faction! This whatabouterism is becoming tiresome. If you build yourself up as a moral movement then that is what you base your decisions on. You don't get to drop your morals when it suits. Sadly, I suspect the public see through this charade from the Blair and Corbyn factions and they are fed up with it. The Tories focus upon winning - and we all call them liars and hypocrites, but they keep winning. Len has made leveraged Unite money often enough - he's clearly been using this as a threat since Starmer took over. The Turley affair was factionalism that cost Unite members millions. I think in an organisation as big as the BBC the idea that they are not going to have Tories in position of influence is naive - Kusenburg is an obvious Tory, as is Nick Robinson, but others are not and they get criticised as much by the others as being 'work lefties'. Put it this way - who do you think carry's more weight in the eyes of the public - Kussenburg or Linekar? The vast majority of the public don't follow politics and don't watch the news.
  3. I don't see Haaland going. Simply because it makes no sense to pay £130m when you can pay half next year. They'll be looking for a huge wage so, the lower fee helps in that regard and despite what the current situation is - Madrid, Barca still have a lot of pull. I still think that is why City won't buy Kane - I think they want Haaland as well. Although they could afford both - it would be taking the piss if they did buy them both. I guess Pep isn't thinking of 10 years, but 2 and Kane helps in those 2.

  5. Shrodingers Evertonian - they can hold two opposing views at the same with ease! There are people suffering from split personality disorder who are less contradictory than those fuckers! The Peoples club owned by a billionaire is perfectly compatible in the Evertonian mind.
  6. More fool you. It is Monday! Yeah not sure how real this is. Seems like a big stretch to link him. I'm not sure Klopp goes back for players who fucked him off first time around.
  7. Echo linking us with Brandt - for about £17m. Not sure if this isn't just speculation and wishful thinking but it make sense. Versatile and can cover a few positions.
  8. Stop sitting in the kop like a youngster then? Do you wear skinny jeans? No, nice comfy slim fit are enough for the older gentleman. Upper Kenny - love it. Lots of space to sit. I was in the Main stand for the Palace game and I was impressed. Lots of space. To be fair - the Kop has never been my cup of tea - I don't like the view.
  9. Or as Bill would actually say it 'My dream is my David, or my Bob, we had a wonderful, beautiful time together - a time were we fought with giants and dreamed big dreams, we were angels in a world of devils and David fought Goliath and I have to say I had a tear in my eye the day he left'.
  10. I never got Veron - just always seemed to be on the periphery of games. And Riquelme - same. Lots of those types of hipster players down the years - you read article after article in them and yet you never see anything tangible! You don't see those players much nowadays as the physical side of the game is so important.
  11. Yes! It was horrible and the fact that they are trying to brush it aside is a disgrace - albeit not surprising. It wasn't akin to Suarez when we made an error of judgement - that became who they were for 3 or 4 years. They became more racist and revelled in it because they were not us!
  12. I read £8m so, £15m seems like a starting position. It think you are right - I'd be very surprised if we get that! We may value him higher if we use him in part exchange? But we tried holding out for the maximum last season and we got stuck with them - I'd accept £10m for all of Grujic, Shaq, Origi and Wilson! They need to go.
  13. This sums it up perfectly. Says a lot that even during all those years (decades) there was genuine shock when they threw dozens of bananas at Barnes in the League Cup tie. As overt the racism was - that was still shocking!
  14. We are being fair. He's played and played well in the Premier league, worse players will move for more money - most championship players are £15 -20m. I don't think we are expecting that now - but anything near £10m is fair.
  15. We have no need for Sancho with our current front 4, he'd be a great signing but I don't think he is worth £80m. He is for United as they have Greenwood out right.
  16. Gotta be honest I think both of us were bad! Last game of the 86/87 season against Watford, Barnes got horrendous racial abuse from the Kop. Evertonians would be more correct to say that had they signed Barnes we would have continued being racist. The grounds in those days were overtly racist.
  17. Nah, that wasn't your point. Your point was the owners are cunts. Its always that.
  18. That would be an entirely different situation. Your inability to see this is quite telling. It isn't.
  19. Doesn't surprise me to be honest. You'd need common sense.
  20. Didn't he give his twitter account over to an adult baby! Slightly less ridiculous to giving the job to a drunken thug.
  21. Harry Wilson in talks with Leeds? Get him, Grujic, Origi and Shaq out and I suspect we'll replace Gini.
  22. What does that even mean?
  23. Okay. PHE said yesterday that schools are not increasing the numbers, she disagreed! So who is right? She said explicitly that schools opening in March would lead to an increase - it never! Now she has latched onto the India variant as proof she was right! Sorry but she may have a better grasp than me or you, but there are a hell of a lot of other people who disagree with her who also have a better understanding than me or you! Those pricks who called for an end to the lockdown - The Great Barrington Declaration i think, all have a greater understanding than me or you. Where did I mention herd immunity? I mentioned the economic affects. The economic downturn is going to be huge - we just don't know how big. Unless you are suggesting that there is no economic effect to closing the shops and bars? So what part of the protect the economy has proven to be Bullshit exactly? She is looking at the numbers. That is all - she doesn't have a medical background, she isn't an epidemiologist. FFS - there are clearly socio-economic factors at play here and she isn't offering any solutions. The amount of middle-class wankers calling for a lockdown who were phoning Just Eat weekly beggers belief. The poor literally didn't exist.
  24. No need for the sarcasm. You must be able to tell the difference between looking at the numbers and what the response is. What do the numbers tell us about the effect school closures (something she has been calling for since they reopened) have on childrens education? Particularly poor children? What do the numbers tell us about the economic effect to another lockdown? Or the effect on peoples mental health? She has consistently ignored any evidence to the contrary these past three months and has the temerity to criticise people for calling her on her negativity. As an aside. Is it okay for an economics professor to call for an end to lockdown? That is their expertise as well? She has numbers, SAGE have all data to take into account.
  25. I can't fucking stand that Pagel. Fake Sage need to fuck off - no accountability and they just keep pushing zero covid. She had a go at people criticising her yesterday for being negative. Apparently we aren't allowed to get worried and scared, we are supposed to just accept what she says. She isn't a medical expert either she is a maths professor i think.
