"It's a pretty reasonable political opinion he's amplifying".
Are you effing kidding me?
Our owner shared posts calling for Israel to be ‘dismantled’ and praising Hezbollah. Yeah, that's right, the genocidal terrorist organisation who have vowed to wipe Israel from the face of the earth.
Then he goes on to repost conspiracy theories that Israel ‘owns’ the US, citing paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein as evidence.
But hey, that's a reasonable opinion, nothing to look at here. There are plenty of tone deaf posts in this thread, but for me this takes the biscuit:
"I felt pretty unsettled this week when Trump stated he would have no issue displacing two million people from their homes to turn their land into a luxury destination... "
Oh dear, so because you felt "unsettled" by something Trump said, then by extension, it's okay for our owner to tarnish the good name of our club and alienate our many Jewish fans with these vile and ignorant opinions, is it? Wow. Just wow.
I am from the manor, or near enough. And knew it well growing up as my mum taught just off Portobello Road and plenty of her friends lived in those lovely tall houses, so I went inside plenty of them. And yes, there was squalor, but not a great deal. And yes, I know about Rachman, but here's the thing, you said:
"It was literally a slum back then. "
Which is utter nonsense. Parts of it were pretty run down. Most of it was fine, even the poorer areas. It was not a literal slum. They had literal slums in the East End back then, mind you. Cheers.
Edit: Actually, on consideration, I agree, some parts were pretty much slums. But I suppose I'm being pedantic, because large parts weren't slums. As you can see in the clean and ordered streets in the film.
Edit 2: Utter nonsense is a bit strong. I apologise for that.
Whatever the reason is, it's an amazing reception. It's a long time since I was last outside SA when the players come out, but I've never seen anything like that before.
If I had one word to describe that match, I'd say: refreshing.
How refreshing was it to see us monstering the fookin Roverrrs?
How refreshing was it to see how much those players cared? When Frey did that counter-pressing charge at the end of the 1st half and then geed up the crowd. That was fantastic.
Loved the way we fought our way back into that game second half and boy I enjoyed Colback's goal...
What a life she lived. Tragic, harrowing and exhilirating in equal measure.
"Her mother was Baroness Eva Sacher-Masoch, a Hungarian, half-Jewish former ballet dancer who had fled the Nazis in World War II. Her father was Major Glyn Faithfull, an eccentric British MI6 agent turned professor of Italian literature. The stage was set for an unusual childhood..."
"She was still in school when she met the Rolling Stones in 1964, just as, she says, "London was ready to embrace free love, psychedelics, fashion, Zen, Nietzsche, tribal trinkets, customized existentialism, hedonism and rock-and-roll." She described Mick was "a cheeky little yob"; but she wasn't about to fall for him, not yet. But Jagger and Richards wrote a song for her to record, "As Tears Go By," and the 17-year-old schoolgirl found herself transformed into a pop star."
In one sense, she was another Stones casualty, like Anita Pallenberg. If you played with them, you were playing with fire...
Her resurrection from a junkie living rough on the streets to return to making music, poetry and performing live was quite remarkable. I loved Broken English when it came out.
Easy there fella. All the Jews and Arabs who live in Israel are 'semites'. Others have said it, but you're dangerously close to crossing a line with your posts in this thread my friend.
It's funny how some people will seek any opportunity to peddle their favourite theories, often going wildly off topic - and it's happened in this thread, despite Clive's pleas.
Mr Sheen's post about 'Neutral Moresnet' made me think of Konigsberg, another one of those geopolitical anomalies that not a lot of people know about (as Michael would say). Now known as Kaliningrad, it is the capital of the Russian province of the same name, that exists wholly outside of Russia, sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania along the Baltic Coast. Must be weird living there. I read this about getting there by car:
"The road system is extensive in the Kaliningrad region; however, they are not always well-maintained, and sometimes it is hard to get around because of absence of signage indicating directions/destinations (especially in the city). On large roads, signs are displayed in Cyrillic and Roman letters.
"Driving rules are generally the same as in most European countries, but many do not follow the rules, especially during rush hour in the city. Beware of the traffic police because they like to stop foreigners and often expect bribes."
