Not sure than the position in the table is a reflection of his talent, I think Sanchez is a steal at the price we paid for him. Great talent, and our best signing since Henry and Bergkamp.

Basically a perfect microcosm of all that is wrong with the modern world


a) twitter 'storm' as news (or 'miss miss, barry called you a slag')

in fact b) twitter

c) the democratisation of stupidity

d) people sharing the stupidest stuff without thinking

but most of all

e) people getting so fecking offended by everything the whole time, usually hypothetically on other people's behalf.


Pikeys the lot of them!!!!

He didn't really understand that a minorly crass attempt at anti-racism had clearly been edited in order to make it racist.

That makes him a bit of an idiot, albeit in this case a vaguely well meaning idiot.


None of which is really the point.


To reiterate AM's point, given his background any attempt at a racism smear should be laughable, but never underestimate people's ability to be offended on the off chance that someone somewhere may theoretically be!!

I have never agreed with the defence of - I can say that 'cos I'm half black/jewish/irish / my mums a muslim etc


all the more reason for not joining in with racist rubbish


I'm not making this point on the balotelli issue (on which I agree with El Pibe) - just a general thought cos it annoys me when people defend themselves in this way - its not a justification.

Today at work this colleague was horrified that the most popular boys name in 2014 was Muhammad or so she read. She didn't want to discuss it with me without my having said anything meaningful anyway. Anyway I had to leave early to go to the dentist but found this article and sent it to her:


http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/muhammad-isnt-uks-most-popular-4726470


I didn't get any reply. By the way my appointment was with the beautiful Dr.Islam.


The question is, is it safe for me to go to work tomorrow?


* When I say she didn't want to discuss it, it appeared to me that it was because she didn't want anyone to disagree with her that this was happening in her beloved country.

good article AM, not entirely sure why its in here.

But yes, all its revealing of is a tremendous lack of imagination among muslims when naming their kids ;)


Jes?s has massively fallen out of favour in Spain, though Mar?a still dominates...spaniards do tend to obsess about their mothers so no surprise the holy mother still wins!!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
