Re: Sarfend

You actually make a very good point about Royalty and upper classes. I will also accept Richards point that he cared for Chelsea. He could have left them in the s**t. He didn't but I still stand by my point about the people that we allow to take over clubs. No, he doesn't make a good point at all. ...

Re: Shirebrook Town

Poor planning...dont get me wrong they have to make money but seems very bad planning on their part if they knew the dates at the start of the season. No. Not poor planning at all. That's a cheap shot based on hindsight. At the beginning of the season, they would not have known they would make the ...

Re: PSF suggestion

Weymouth away would be cracking ... Wonder if their new manager would be interested in hosting us, or whether there are hard feelings towards us there ...? I always look forward to PSFs, although I can appreciate why some people see them in less positive terms. Nice to have the opportunity to visit...

Lanternhall, i think you will find Yeltsin gave away and before him Gorbachov from the peoples USSR. Abromovich was a poor Russian dew and was shall we say at the right place at the right time. I will certainly not moan about him and the British goverment loved moving his money round London...till ...

Re: Council election

Old Bob - all I meant was that two ends of the scale are both extreme, whether good or bad. And I don't care how violent or strong you are - you don't scare me! :lol: I don't think we really disagree, Nobs, violently or otherwise. (You see, I'm just a pussy cat.) You are right that the two ends of ...

Re: Council election

Bottom line, both ends of any scale are extreme by definition. Errr ... unfortunately not true, Nobby. This is known as the fallacy of the middle ground. Take as an example the degree of support in Russia for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. One end of the spectrum: enthusiastic support. Other end: con...

Re: This weekend’s NL playoff finals

Pleased to see the back of Bromley's plastic pitch. Cheerio. Though the NL will be welcoming Tamworth and their plastic pitch from next season. Out goes one, in comes another. Not quite, Chalkie. There is no one-in, one-out rule to maintain the status quo. We could just as easily have been saddled ...

Re: Council election

Perhaps those labelled as "woke" think it is meant to be socially conscious, kind and empathetic, although that is far from my definition of "woke". My personal definition of "woke" is someone who has a very rigid set of personal values which they impose on every aroun...

Re: Council election

What I am about to say has nothing to do with the particular outcome in Rushmoor today being good or bad but a generalised comment about local election voting Something that came up in conversation among the volunteers this morning was how much local politics (council elections) is influenced by na...

Re: Council election

You are right. Is not just Rushmoor. This isn't my country anymore. Would be nice to meet some English people in England The Spanish residents of the Canaries and Balearics seem to be coming to a similar conclusion, an unsustainable influx of foreigners although theirs are mainly British. The probl...

Conservative. Labour. "Two cheeks of the same ar*e" Freedom of speech? Freedom from state surveillance? Labour will just double-down on what the Tories have done to restrict our liberties in the name of wokeness, inclusivity and Net Zero nonsense. I won't be voting for a "Uni-Party&q...

Re: Premier League and National League in talks over new cup competition featuring under-21 sides

So if scrapping FA Cup replays was seemingly proposed to ease fixture congestion and then someone thinks about introducing a new competition? Where on earth does that logic fit in? Am I missing something? You are not missing anything, Tim. It's the FA, PL, and NL dumbkopfs who are missing something...
