  1. Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

    That their young citizens would get (relative) freedom of movement in a country that many of them previously (and still do) visit and work in, as the largest speaking english country in the continent.
  2. Fa Cup Replays Scrapped

    It doesn't have to be a British mega club. 13 clubs currently in the league have an average attendance of at least 30k. 15 clubs in the championship with at least 20k. Even a few league one clubs with around that level. Pretty galling really.
  3. Fa Cup Replays Scrapped

    So surely that's quite a big argument then? Football isn't just about making things as comfortable as possible for the biggest clubs.
  4. Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

    First part, because the EU isn't as vindictive or childish etc as many of the posters on here, who want to get every dig in any every opportunity. Labour because Starmer is so afraid of being attacked on anything Brexit related the twat, particularly in the red wall I'd imagine. And probably...
  5. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    Hopefully this is the end of all of it. Sounds like Israel attacked potentially one site and did so without even entering Iranian airspace. Iran seem to have gone down nothing happened here, nothing to see route. Hopefully they can sell it to their population/hardliners as so. And hopefully...
  6. Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Discuss more, tweet less

    Just as the 'UN' partition plan started, so it continues, with the exact same country providing the same destructive cover.
  7. Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

    Have I gone crazy? That seemed a blatant dive from Gundogan.
  8. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    But the poster you quoted wasn't even saying that?
  9. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    I'm genuinely interested to know who these kinds of people are. I mean.....why wouldn't the White House prioritise domestic policies over Ukraine's military goals? And why (if this is all true), would you piss off your biggest backer, by doing exactly what they've asked you not to do?
  10. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    The issue is that there are basically no posters on here who support Iran or its idiotic leaders. The fact that people point out the rife hypocrisy or denounce an attack on a consulate does not mean they support the Iranian regime at all.
  11. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    Israel doesn't exist (both historically and currently) without the USA. And yet the 56 Suez crisis happened without the knowledge of the USA. I don't 'want' evidence but if you're going to be making such definitive statements, and linking articles claiming they provide the contrary argument...
  12. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    That's fair and I don't think anybody on here or that I know in real life in any way supports the Ayotollahs. The dispute that I personally (can't speak for others) have brought up repeatedly is the targeting of a consulate. There either is international law, which we apparently try to uphold...
  13. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    I've read this 3 times now and am unclear if I'm being an idiot but cannot see a single shred of evidence there for their claim that Iran knew about and sanctioned October 7th? As for your post slightly further down, nobody is claiming that Iran does not fund, train and at times direct its...
  14. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    :lol: Thanks for this, I needed a good laugh today.
  15. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    There are many 'actual genocides' and they don't have to be as stark or drastic as holocaust or Rwanda to be counted as such. In the same way that lynching black people while wearing white hoods is very obvious racism but you can have racism without it hitting you over the head so obviously.
