    That may have been taught before but it's not the teachings of the faith now. Like every religion though there are still lots of people who follow whatever suits them.

    I believe the answer is Yes. The police record reported racial and religious hate crime. While I haven't found data on the number of convictions which arise from these reports, it's clear that the group described as "white" are well represented. 31.3% of victims of racially or religiously...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I'm careful not to conflate politics and religion. And I also understand that, out of respect to the many (including on here) who have suffered trauma at hands of individuals within the Catholic Church, not to go overboard praising leaders within it. But Leo XIV is showing that progressive...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I read this quote the other day that struck me as really capturing the Zeitgeist of the moment. The search for truth is an essential element of democracy … When questions about what is true lose their appeal, and a pragmatism takes hold that is content with what appears useful or effective...

    Although I do hate the Chavs nearly as much (and depending on how the mood takes me, sometimes more).

    Wish I could double like that post mate.

    I’ll raise Madueke’s “foul” and offer you Saka’s double handball that should have been a pen. Far worse than the Sissoko one in 2019.

    Yeah made my peace with them winning the PL as long as we stayed up. Couldn’t accept them winning the Cl as well.

    Champions League 25/26

    Their inability to carve out decent chances from open play meant they failed to beat City and Liverpool this season and were beaten by both Utd and Villa at different times. You can dislike Wenger but at least his teams always played with a style that I was jealous of.

    Champions League 25/26

    Wtf??? Other than their goal they didn’t really threaten PSG. Only one team set out to win this.

    Igor Tudor when asked about whether Spurs could stay up under him said "100%.". How did that go?

    This is just flim flam for which there is no actual evidence to back up. I cant analyse things where evidence doesn't exist. The facts are that both seasons were blighted by injuries. This season though the competition to remain in the PL was a lot stronger than last. I am out of this discussion.

    We have finished 17th twice under 2 different managers with different styles. The common theme? Injuries have shorn both of their best players. That's what needs to change next season as well as strengthening certain areas if we want to compete with the big boys

    We don't know anything for sure. I have said before, those final games were not representative of the rest of the season. If RDZ had to play 2 games a week with what Frank had would he have done better? Possibly - he's a better manager IMHO, but it's not a given. You can't necessarily play...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    *Sigh* we know RDZ is a better coach. But I'm absolutely sure, even under him, results would have reverted to the mean eventually. And we will be in a similar position next season if we do not strengthen and get to grips with our injuries. What ever the metrics say, the eye test said to me that...

    *** The official 2025/26 Premier League thread ***

    They are a deluded bunch to be getting rid of a manager who delivered the PL title last season!! Iraola deserves the opportunity to prove himself at a big club.

    *** The official 2025/26 Premier League thread ***

    I’m not sure why Palace would think Iraola would see them as a significant step up from Bournemouth. He’s done the whole punching above weight. I think he will want a big job next, like Saudi Sportswashing Machine or possibly Liverpool.

    Can't dis agree with much of that. And let me be clear, the job RDZ did was phenomenal given where we were when he arrived. But the biggest influence he exerted was psychological. Getting into players heads, making them believe they were better than they were. He will be a top coach here imho...
