I have, and I agree. He's one of the commentators who is tracking/documenting the main structural changes in capitalist society as they occur. I had hopes that Labour would address these fatal structural flaws but the reality is that the country is so 'owned' via debt and right-wing media...

Exactly, LAs are basically all bankrupt because the Tories forced them to sell their assets (see my comments on 'The New Enclosure' above), savagely cut their central funding and forbid them from raising sufficient revenue via local taxes. Hence, private providers feeding at the trough of...

People may not have come across Brett Christophers, a British Economics professor who lives and works in Sweden. I first came across him via journalism in the Guardian and read his 2019 book The New Enclosure, about how a vast part of the UK's land mass, previously owned by the public, has been...

Yeah, not a good wind-up, man

Absolutely true, but more than that, if Britain had borrowed at this time (when interest rates were low) we wouldn't need to be borrowing so much to fix the problems in the public sector - we would have maintained it. What we actually did was create (both under quantative easing and under the...

Firstly, I had a look at the OP on this thread and astonishingly. only 3 people - now 4 - had liked ThatFragranceGuy's original post. A terrible oversight on my part as he/it has saved me (and probably others) hundreds. I've been on it two years come mid-Feb. So chapeau to that man! Anyway...

I do think we've been spoilt by having Doak.Jones' confidence has suffered but it will return, and he's capable of causing a fair amount of havoc (now placed in service of a rival). Doak will soon be gone - possibly very soon. Hope we've got someone lined up...

listen loud

Me too, but it's still strange to hear you say the FA Cup is a 'nothing match'. Sad, really :cry: - shows how even fans can't really dream any more

As others have said, while they've been generally poor they've pulled out results against play-off contenders away recently. We don't have a divine right to beat them. Yes, we expected to win and we're all disappointed, but that's football. In terms of Carrick getting more leniency, I don't...

Coventry was marginally the better team, looking dangerous, until Hackney's sending off. Then, we were always losing the game from when they scored just before half-time. I think our league position reflects how good we are. Our attack is more potent when we have space in which to play, as we...

My ex-wife's family are Chinese Thai also. I lived in Lad Prao and Kaset-Nawamin

I disagree that Asian millionaires wouldn't be interested, but I'm not sure if I'm interested in them. Cardiff themselves are a good example of a team whose Asian backer alienated the fans - changing the Bluebirds' strip to red for a start! - and though he has stayed the course they are hardly...

Like most, I was pretty fed up at 5pm yesterday, and when I got online later there was the usual 'Carrick out' stuff. However, whilst I share posters' frustrations at a poor performance (which stopped the momentum from the Hull victory from building) and the poor home form in general, like I...

He carries the ball well, but is frustrating in his end product. I'm hoping McGree gets a run as he's proven himself a decent player. Thought he was good v Hull. Not sure Burgzorg is the answer at home against a massed defence.

Agreed. Actually our one/two-touch playing out from the back has improved this season, and it bears pointing out that yesterday's goal came from their attack, not from a turnover when playing out. The thing is, we don't have a striker who is good at holding it up anyway. Lath has improved in...

His shooting is poor though

Thank you, Voice of Reason

I usually defend Barlaser but he's been so poor today. Why hasn't Carrick subbed him off for Riley 15/20 minutes ago?

Doak will want to stay and help get us up - he "absolutely loves it here", remember. At this stage of his career he will nurture dreams of establishing himself at Anfield - undoubtedly the best place to play football in England. The only way I could see him leaving us is if Salah, or maybe...
