  1. Tbh I think it’s a bit fucked up they’re only now against this sort of dangerous rhetoric now that they’re facing death threats. Strange silence when we had years of junior democrat congresswomen getting death threats because of their politics/skin colour/gender/religion. Guess its easier to condemn death threats from your political party when it’s directed at you and people you work with? But saying silence is complicity is true. But these people were silent throughout much of Trump’s administration. The cynic in me thinks this is just republicans trying to distance themselves from Trump now that he’s on his way out.
  2. Small kitties are so fun/funny to watch as they learn more about living in their home
  3. Looks like the attack was carried out by MEK
  4. Honestly, I think it’s a bit harsh banning him instead of a fine or something. But I think the worry there would be “did we just go easy on racism and set a bad precedent?” - which is a fair worry. Even though I don’t think Cavani’s an actual racist - I think it’s just a cultural difference sort of thing. He’s just come to England from France where saying “fuck your race” is an acceptable insult to utter out loud in public too... so you can forgive him for not thinking too much about the racial sensitivity of what he said. Having said that, when you’re in a new country and there’s some things that aren’t socially acceptable... but they are in your homeland... you should follow the social norms of where you’ve moved to. And accept those norms so as to not accidentally be offensive. But yeah I think a 1 match ban based off those other players’ bans for “similar” occurrences makes sense
  5. I think he's bitten people 3 times, only been banned for being a racist once. Weird saying "only" for racist shite. One time is too many. Here I don't think Cavani's been racist, he's just using the term the way it's used in Spanish speaking countries. The issue is we're not in a Spanish speaking country so he probably should be punished for it... even if that's a bit harsh.
  6. Considering Netanyahu said we should remember the guys name... it’s not hard to guess which country is responsible
  7. This article’s behind a paywall, but it’s not surprising at all. And it reflects why exactly we are in this position. https://www.ft.com/content/93821297-96ea-4286-8f01-ccb6fa09161f
  8. This won’t hurt many of the 61% of people who voted to leave in Sunderland. Yes Nissan employs 6,000 there. Yes, many more jobs are created by the plant because supply chains and dealerships are a part of getting cars to consumers. But since so many Brexiteers were warned of reality and chose to ignore it and present their own alternative theories to what Brexit would mean to them... they’ve got their own reality. These people aren’t losing their jobs. They’re gaining their freedom. At least that’s what they’ll tell themselves when they’re waiting in the dole lines getting covid.
  9. Controller, my PC doesn't have the graphics card for anything super modern, unfortunately.
  10. The first one is such a good game. I want to play a new Star Wars game that’s as good as Fallen Order (which I loved) - I’m doing a trial run of Squadrons and I’m finding it to be absurdly difficult.
  11. Ziyech having that stat would be fairly impressive, considering he missed a few games at the beginning of the season. Crazy to think Ziyech was basically begging Arsenal to sign him last season while they had a release clause they could get him for fairly cheap... and instead they chose to waste a shitload of money on Pepe. Meanwhile, Ziyech has come in and looked like the player we all thought he was at Ajax meanwhile Pepe looks like Arsenal paid maybe 50-60 more than they should have...
  12. I hope he’s just as good as he was before the injury. Because imo he and Trent are the 2 best RBs in England, as long as he’s just as good as he was before.
  13. I think Pep's a cunt and it's disappointing he's going to be here for longer.
  14. I think we usually water the half at Anfield we’re attacking in the second half though
  15. Tbf I hope we did request that guy never have anything to do with our matches again because he is a dumb cunt and he probably shouldn’t be involved with officiating football matches at all.
  16. We’re seeing a massive surge where I am (the last 4 days have been record numbers for the most positive tests in a day here), as well as nationwide. And because a big man child lost an election and doesn’t care about doing his job anymore (although I’m not sure he ever did), I suspect this is probably not going to go well in the US.
  17. I am the forum’s Doctor. My colleague @Dr Boris Gobshite has been missing for quite some time though
  18. Quite a few reasons tbh. One is Southgate completely ignores Klopp’s requests to have our players on a different training program to the other England players when there isn’t an international tournament. Then Gomez and Henderson get injured constantly (Gomez’s injuries picked up away at England have meant he’s missed over 100 matches for us). Secondly, I hate so much of what goes along with the England side. The media going completely insane with everything, so many England fans are twats, and having to want players that play for Manchester United and Everton to do well. Third, other than that one World Cup... watching England has usually been an exercise in how some of the best players in England can manage to look like they’d struggle to beat a bottom half premier league side playing some of the most rubbish football. I suppose it’s fine, because most international sides are much shitter than a bottom half premier league side. But it always does feel disappointing... other than that recent World Cup when I had exactly 0 hope for them doing well and they made the semi finals. And it’s not the England team’s fault, but part of the reason is I just think there is too much international football currently and it’s just an impediment to club football. I fully admit I’m a hypocrite and when England are in the World Cup or Euro... I’m a fan. But I can’t stand this Nations League bollocks so I’m well against it and the stupid number of internationals had already in this condensed season. It’s more like thinking you’ve got AIDS but it turns out you’ve ONLY got herpes. It’s not as bad, it’s still fucking shit.
  19. I think that any side that can’t beat us right now is shit
  20. Tbf I’d love it if our English players never ever played for England again
