If we go by countries England - Leeds (and later Spurs) Spain - Real Sociedad and Valencia Italy - Parma, Lazio Germany - Dortmund France - Auxerre, Monaco Netherlands - Ajax Portugal - FC Porto Most of these are connections I formed when I started to watch international football circa 96-97.

Do you live in Yarmouth?

Ditto for Chelsea in the Abramovich era.

Hooji Hwang 🤣

Rowe instead of Barnes

Don't really care, if Rowe and Sarge are fully fit by then and no new injuries/suspensions, we can take on any team in the division. OTBC never mind the dangers 😎🔰🤛👍👏

Stick this one straight in the "sub zero" section!

Stream died, but at 2-0 up I thought this game was safe... famous last words!

What's happened to Gibbs?

Not bad stats for the 1st half...

It's a very unfair comparison, this season vs '19. We were spoiled with Farkeball. At the moment there are a lot of things in flux and not defined in the club, SD, ownership, but overall it's the inconsistency, the poor communication from the management, the lack of character, the streaky patterns of good results/performances turning to mush like last Wednesday. Can't really blame paying fans who do their best to support the club at a really tough time financially for many, yet feel they're not getting the connection - that isn't built just on results, it's putting the fans at the heart of everything the club does. Wagner ain't Farke, Knapper ain't Webber, Sainz ain't Emi but we ain't no mugs. We want desire, ambition, vision, intent, so NCFC needs to either s#it or get off the pot. The club needs to value the fans, bring them on board to press forward in whatever direction is chosen by the powers that be, then clearly communicate coherence of intent in every action.

No way you missed Sara's volley?? 🙄🙃

We can keep the cheese thread going. Norwich defo gave Rotherham a Tunworth today.. are you on board?

Home form has been good this season, away form has been abysmal.

Sainz really put a complete performance today. Is this the best he's played for us?

Mate, Feta out of here.

I Stilton can smell you from here..

I only started to watch 2nd half, it feels really strange to be 4 up by half time. At this point clean sheet, no cards and no injuries I'll be very happy with the result. OTBC 🔰

2-2

Mierda

That depends on how skilled, efficient and competent an individual politician / political party / system is. For politicians that are not very good at what they are meant to do, like the current govt iteration, they will focus on the "wedge" issues, not with a view to improve society for everyone, but to radicalise their base, appealing, by their rhetoric, to some of their worst instincts. A political party that is competent and forward-looking will focus instead on the best instincts and values of its citizens to forge a positive path forward. Why should a leader, erm, follow its followers' ?

As stated originally, it was through work.. I have no interest in meeting such people.

Where did you live, and what did you learn that broadened or narrowed your perspective? Where were your assumptions challenged, and confirmed? What do you carry with you to this day? Pros and cons of each country? Where did you integrate better, and why? If you went and lived abroad, were you expected to integrate into the culture, speak the language etc? If not, then how can you demand that people who move to the UK do that - unless for you it's merely about following the laws of the country? If you lived in 10 countries yet talked the bare minimum with locals, didn't participant in the local customs/culture, etc, what did you learn? It is possible to live in different places and still be very insular... it takes a degree of openness and courage, a willingness to contribute (more than in just material terms ie work, taxes, etc), to integrate successfully. Opinions aren't inherently wrong - until we start lumping ours on other people and refuse to allow our opinions to be challenged, refuse to think we are above logical flaws / rationalisation / getting emotionally tangled up. Since this debate is on immigration... No country can support a massive and sustained increase in population - logically correct Where this increase is from migration, controlling migration by lawful and humane means is not only desirable but essential - logically correct Asylum seeking is illegal - logically incorrect Rwanda is humane - logically incorrect

Fish rots from the head. Leader sets the tone, not only by what he says, moreso by what he does but also by what he condones. IMO it was antisemitic - just ambiguous enough to shrug off most accusations until the EHRC report. When any party purges its most moderate members, without a very strong, valid reason but instead mostly on purely ideological terms, it will easily spiral into some form of extremism. Corbyn did it in 2017, Johnson did it 2 years later. Only difference is that the latter became PM and trashed any semblance of standards or accountability in government. I did not say Lineker's words carry more weight, but they will carry further. Why you should listen, no idea. I'll tell you why I do.. Not because he's wealthy. Not because he's a football legend. But because he's travelled to many places, experienced other cultures, talked/worked with people from many different cultures and backgrounds. Because he is from a different era, where people did things differently/treated each other differently - for good and bad. These are the kinds of people that I learn from. These are the things that add dimension and an overall more rounded perspective in life generally... and yes, it's still possible to do the above and remain a narrow minded a&&#ole. Just less likely. Someone who for example never travelled abroad, who worked/studied with mostly people from the same background may have learned about other cultures, other viewpoints in school etc, whilst valid, it is a fairly restricted perspective.

Your rhetorical question does not impress anyone... the answers are clearly made up in your mind. You can ask as many times as you like. My opinion on this does not matter; as I'm not a British citizen I don't have a vote in such things. Why the f**k would you listen to a word I say anyway? So many other voices you could listen to, yet choose not to - Gary Lineker is a Brit with a much better standing and profile than myself. Previous PMs - and Tory ones at that -have said the Rwanda Bill is racist. As was the Windrush Scandal. I've been in a few countries before, but I don't think it is a coincidence that only in Norfolk I've seen people - plural - (admittedly through work) who have shrines to Nazi ideology in their homes, or display their tattooed hakenkreuz in the company of strangers. Friends close, enemies closer? Blood and soil, yeah?
