Because if your whole pitch is 'we're the sensible ones', you kind of have to demonstrate that for it to be believable. If your argument is that the left have normalised hyperbole, the answer obviously isn't to adopt the same standards when it suits you. If you claim to be different, people...

The problem I see with the approach is Farage/Reform are engaging in exactly the same nauseating performances that they claim to be so against. You can argue that they're just going like for like, but when a huge part of your pitch is that you stand in cultural opposition to the virtue...

If he's over his injury woes then a great bit of business. That feels a big 'if' though - he's barely played in 2 years.

Devenny is younger than Imray and already done it!

I was surprised to see Townsend that high up... I can only assume he was a bit more dynamic in that regard before he arrived in SE25. More broadly, I don't think we should ever take for granted that we had the best dribbler of his generation, certainly domestically, playing for us for over a...

It's fine to be critical of it - I think anyone being honest would be critical of it. When the whole Reform machine shifts into public, performative victimhood stating things like "If Polanski is not in police custody by this tomorrow, the Police will have declared open season on Members of...

This has got to be one of the worst transfer windows ever, surely? I don't think you could call any of them a success!

Yeah... the lonely pints status.

I know it might not be obvious to you given your social status, but posters on here are not the only people talking about this. There's a whole world out there - you should give it a go.

Whilst it's obviously a ridiculously stupid thing for Polanski to do, I agree with you on this - the never ending victimhood from Farage and co seems to be wearing thin with a lot of people, though obviously not the cultists.

I don't disagree re the squad size, I'm just not sure that the free agent market is the solution!

His last contract was £250k a week, so how much are we paying for someone to be a back up/cup player? If we say Chadi Riad is the player currently filling that role for us, he's on £30k a week...

If Mateta leaves and we replace him with a guy who managed 5 goals in 41 games in the Championship last season, we might as well pack it in. I appreciate the effort, but I don't think there's much value at all to be found at that end of the market.

He's crocked! He hasn't managed 30+ PL games in a season since 15/16. Last season he managed 9 league games, the season before that 11, and before that just 16. He'd be one of our highest earnest and likely only able to play about a third of games.

Nearly every major politician of recent decades has been 'door stopped' at some point or another. I do think it's a practice we should probably ban - a journalist can have the same effect 'stopping' someone at their office or at a public appearance.

Oh cool, we're listening to experts now! Only experts who are affiliated with every pro-Israel organisation going and who the IDF take on tours around Gaza though, obviously. But this chap certainly seems to have made a nice media career for himself since October 7th.

You’ve introduced objectivity by degree recently, despite it dispelling your own initial argument - the extension of objectivity by degree is an acceptance of my initial point: no one is objective and so trying to dismiss arguments based on the poster ‘not being objective’ is nonsense.

I’ve never made that claim at all. I am simply pointing out that one of the biggest predictors of poor reasoning is believing you’ve largely overcome your own biases. It’s called the ‘bias blind spot’ - look it up; it’s a common thing amongst the delusional.

Quite right, because I’m not deluded enough to think otherwise - the fact you think that’s some sort of gotcha is what I find bizarre. It’s more troubling that you have taken issue, over months and months, with such an admission, because it speaks to the extent of your delusion and indeed...
