  1. 5 goals in 6 would just meet a low bar threshold? That is Harry Kane form hahaha. Agree with the general point though. Absolutely must try something different, we need goals!
  2. Teams always target our left hand side and Mav doesn't track back enough. Thomas looks a different player when he is protected properly
  3. They have blown up and got famous very quickly, I only heard of them about 2 months ago and they have become massive in the last 4-6 weeks following their KEXP video.
  4. Luke Thomas good game anyone?
  5. Late on but what pub are leicester fans at?
  6. I know not your point but does anybody blame them? Isn't it a shared facility with the US? I am absolutely in no way supporting the Iranian regime but British politicians saying their attempted strikes are "outrageous" snd wrong when the US and Israel have been bombing them for weeks don't make sense, unless I am misunderstanding something. Dont get me wrong strategically its wrong and im not talking about their attacks on other gulf countries.
  7. Ive watched him play for us many times. Hes a twat but im not sure its attitude. The wednesday celebration imo was wrong but justifiable if you are him
  8. Call me out of touch but how much has Daka been?
  9. I dont like faes (based on his football more than anything else), but I dont think he is a twat and have never understood it. I remember when he signed being buzzing that someone so obviouslt wanted to join us! What are the actual reasons that he is a twat?

Fair if you can afford it but I know multiple men who had prostate cancer and had successful treatment and live completely normal lives now. Im sure the AU system knows better than me tho!

    Health

    I am a bit of an anti dentist person but I would let it roll and if it gets bad get rid of the tooth. 1400 is a joke
  12. But wait, what target is that precision Israeli missile hitting? Or am I missing something?
  13. Hey mate, will come back tomorrow but thanks for a genuinely decent argument!
  14. Okay my point was more its a news story about a person more than a political issue. And most leaders have had bad stories about them. I am a long term green supporter but dont agree on all their policies or on all issues. On the bold, Green party now second biggest party by voter intention and growing much more quickly than others, so not sure I agree. Will have a look at the interview and come back on it, but I disagree with the concept that theres a Green/Islam alliance at a national level. Thanks for ignoring the rest of my reply and just using sanity as your argument again.
  15. This is good to see. A lot of people have avoided this as a topic as they think we have burned bridges with the EU. The EU would love the UK to rejoin, not only are we a major player economically but it would really help their stronger together narrative if a country who had left wanted to rejoin, and would be an example to others.
  16. Also, we aren't in an election cycle and what Zack Polanski says is not necessarily official Green Party policy, so I've drawn my understanding from policies in the last manifesto, and a bit of more recent events (i.e. Gorton and Denton) and what senior members of the party have said. I'm sure a lot of policies will be ironed out before the GE, particularly with the surge in green party membership from people you would expect to be less 'radical'.
  17. I wrote a long post in response to this that hasn't been approved. I see others have liked your post which is interesting. Ignoring the boobs part as it is a non story - consider that our last respected PM inserted his genitals into a dead pig's mouth. Green Party supporter so wanted to come back on a couple of points from my original post (I've kept the language friendlier): 'Flat out lies when it comes to economics' - our economic policy has been based on empirically and academically disputed economics for as long as I can remember. Austerity, self-imposed fiscal rules, etc are all prefaced on untruths. Increased spending in difficult times (i.e. now) is probably now the pervasive view among academic economists, and has had support from revered economists such as Keynes for 90 years. In fact, the government multiplier effect (where government spending leads to a relatively higher impact in economic activity) has been proven empirically to be greater than even left wing economists thought. The issue is whether or not we would be allowed to borrow to fund it, as it goes against the institutionally accepted view. 'Legalising all drugs' has to be seen within the context that despite headline drug abuse numbers coming slowly down, there is still a major drug issue (cocaine as most obvious example) which is a public health issue and also an issue for our prisons, which have been in a capacity crisis for the last few years, when treated as a crime. The easy decriminalisation example is Portugal, which despite some recent issues has still led to long term benefits on the two issues I have highlighted since inception. Moving the phrasing to legalising is interesting, and the point is that some level of controlled access could be possible to certain less-dangerous drugs and that addicts of some of the bigger hitters may be provided during their treatment. I'd even argue that this isn't that much of a departure from The Thistle in Glasgow, which is something that is already being tested. Moving from a criminal issue to a public health one makes sense imo. I don't know enough about private landlords to add much to the debate there, but I do know as a resident of London that it is currently exploitative and unaffordable here. On Islam, where specifically does the Green Party give Islam preferential treatment, or suggest legal exemptions for Islam over other religions? From what I can see, the issue is that the Green Party have decided to engage with a disengaged population on local issues within that context, and that the Green Party (as policy) disagree with the somewhat questionable approach of the state of Israel, which has been conflated into a 'love in' with Islam, in your words. Happy to hear more on how you think that is a realistic issue on a national scale. A more general point. IMO the "Greens are insane/dangerous/infantile/gullible" narrative which voters of more right wing parties are currently using plays directly into our hands; you only need to look back to Brexit to see that people being described as dumb/stupid/uneducated further ingrains their belief, and making out that a party who many now see as a legitimate alternative is the home of 'insane' people is the same approach. People claiming they are superior because the other side is stupid breeds contempt.
  18. Looking for 1 ticket. Live in london so can pick up here or at the ground, or pay for rapid delivery if anyone has one today
  19. Yes but hes realistically optimistic
  20. Sums up our recent history to be honest!
  21. I've been a Green party member since 18 (16 years now) and I actually think their policies currently are pretty weak on some of the big hitters. But I think a wealth tax has a large amount of support and will probably be their big policy going into the next GE. I think there needs to be some serious thinking about their policies on immigration, nuclear weapons and nuclear energy before they become a genuine electable party. In any case Zack is probably still aiming for 30 seats and to hopefully be in a coalition government.
  22. Maybe I went early. Keeping the willingness to keep going for the jugular after 6 is difficult. Our 9 0 was genuinely special
  23. Could easily get to 10 this
  24. Anyone going to Angine de Poitrine in London? I missed my chance when they moved to the bigger venue as was on waitlist but missed the email! Looking for resale again now
