    New number one needed

    My theory is that an exceptional goalie, as opposed to an average one, will save you 15-20 goals over the course of a season. How much would it cost to sign an outfield player who could score that many?

    Gary Lineker

    There is nothing funnier that someone having some kind of deranged rant about "lack of respect", accusing others of being 'snowflakes'. Talk about thin-skinned and over-sensitive, it's like an internet version of the "The Princess and the Pea".😄

    And one of honour too, I don't doubt. Ah well, at least you know you've still got it mate. 😁

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Forgot to add, has pushed Israel's greatest ally into vigorously lobbying for a two-state solution and brought the Palestinian issue to the world stage far more effectively than any of his opponents could ever manage. Netanyahu is like Trump, a very stable genius.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Hmm. Launching 300 drones and ballistic missiles without expecting any of them to get through is putting a lot of faith in Israel's defence capabilities. Apparently it will have cost Israel and the west around a billion pounds to shoot them all down (BBC's Jeremy Bowen stated anyway.). As for...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I suspect Iran anticipated a bigger impact from 300 drones and missiles. Probably lucky for everyone that it didn't quite play out that way. I think it suits Netanyahu very well to try to stir this up a bit more - it distracts from Gaza and guarantees the West keep the weapons and support tap...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That would be a surprise. Ten minutes of research shows that Brexit has had a negative impact on exports overall, and is an ongoing drag on the economy. Whatever you're smoking in your pipe, you need to lay off it for a bit, you're hallucinating. You got Brexit done, now own that shit...

    Item Thread for those looking for FA cup tickets

    My Dad said that if I kept doing that I'd go blind. I asked if I could just do it until I needed glasses. 😄

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Well argued, but I think where we differ is in the definition of authoritarian. I think the typical definition of authoritarian goes way beyond sugar tax, for example and into the realms of suppressing democracy and individual rights. Taxing sugar, or cigarettes, or booze, isn't the same as...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Probably not for this thread, but I think it's entirely possible to be left wing and broadly libertarian. Controlling the worst excesses of capitalism is more about regulation of business and redistributive policies than removing individual rights, surely. The Political Compass website has a...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Direct quote from her website Suella Braverman MP : "I worked at the Bar for 10years (sic), specialising in Planning Law and Judicial Review." Is the problem that you can't read, or that you're too lazy to bother? I'm not trying to embarrass you either. I don't think you're capable of that...
