I was thinking the same as I posted that.

If Bruce hadn't had a decent start they'd be right in the shite now. That's 9 league games without a win. I don't think they'll go down but it would be fucking great if they did, the mackems did and we went up.

Israel continues its merciless pounding of the defenceless.

They're not white though -
The perfect riposte would be "Shouldn't you be keeping your players away from the children's ward?"

I thought I'd seen something in the past about some money going to the player and some going to the BCCI but all the articles I've seen reporting it seem to think he gets £1.7m for the tournament.

And loads of people are fucking thick

To be honest it wasn't blaming / crediting them as such for Trump's victory as there's much more to it than that, it's more just a depressing trend of people (ironically the types that love the phrase 'sheeple' etc.) being so utterly convinced about certain things based on the scantest of evidence from those types of chancers. To a degree Brexit was another example, i.e. lets ignore the facts and believe the likes of Farage, Gove and Johnson. Even though it doesn't take much to work out most of their purported beliefs were just about their own political gain

Don't remember that one from Playschool.

I didn't mean you. If I did I'd have said. I was more thinking of the crackpot conspiracy theorists that take all the shite the likes of Jones comes out with about Bohemian Grove and 9/11 as gospel (even though almost all of it could easily be disproved with a small amount of research) then just dismiss the majority of the scientific community out of hand as being part of an establishment plot. I brought them up because a lot of those types are the exact same people who would have voted for Trump and will be lapping up his shite

I never said they were doing a good job, I disagree with the notion of the media's homogenity though. Also, if I was asked if I trusted the media I would have to ask what the term meant. In either case, you seem to be arguing against yourself, because if this nebulous body you refer to as the media are so influential then perhaps you can explain why the trust level is so low

I find it weird and depressing how some people will question the main stream press and hold them to account but don't apply any of the same to the likes of Trump and Alex Jones.

We beat them 2 seasons ago and we've won 5 out of the last 7 against them at SJP in the league

Actually, don't

Corbyn gets some sympathetic press but I guess there's not going to be loads of it when you've got fuck all in terms of leadership or your ability to get your policies across. I do agree with HF in that he wasn't given a fair crack of the whip though (but he correctly points out the circumstances that caused that too). Trump has the likes of Michael Gove giving sycophantic interviews with his boss there to make sure, not to mention Fox News (also run by Gove's boss) pretty much being positive throughout his campaign. Russia get a more balanced view from the western media than the other way round. It's also difficult to argue they aren't taking part in a new Cold War. Arguably the US and its allies are as much to blame but you'll get articles written that will make that point too, I doubt you see much criticism of Putin at home. I wonder why (and no, I'm not blaming the media on that one ) And yeah, you never see a single piece having a pop at the failure of neoliberalism. Have another go

The wanker(s) doing it probably didn't put any money towards the cause or owt either.

Hot off the press there. -
Can't wait for the cracking deal we're about to get. Worse off with no discernible benefits (even to those who oppose immigration). GREAT
