Kobe beef isn't that a real thing.Not familiar with the gent but Basketball is a great spectator sport in that there is a score every few seconds and always a result .
Lowry has done very  well to say the least in view of the stick he gets.Good lad

Do you think so? It's certainly a great sport to play, but it's pretty boring to watch. 75% of the game is irrelevant. It only becomes slightly interesting in the last quarter when the match is won and lost. I thinks that's the problem with American sport. They concentrate so much on there being frequent scoring, that it becomes routine and lacks excitement when they do score.
I prefer moments of brilliance in sports rather than just constant routine points.

This furore over the Brexit 50p and the pathetic resistance from Adonis and Campbell is as sad as the desire from Brexiteers for a blue passport.

The fight to get back into the EU has to begin now. The more we resist idiocy like the brexit 50p the easier our entry back into the EU will be.

No, it won't. The more Remainers don't get over it, the more entrenched positions will become and the less open to reason people will be in the event that a return to the EU looks sensible. Just suck it up - who cares about a stupid coin that'll quickly vanish out of circulation into Brexiteers' pockets a.s.a.p. as some daft 'souvenir'??

Super I used to take daughter to Leicester Riders games Saturday evening pennies to get in and you are right on top of the action.I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it on tv mind.
West unfortunately I am looking for the opposite result -surely Villa will have to open up a bit so nice open game please .

More scummy behaviour from football fans yesterday. It's just a game people. How sad are people's lives they'll attack someones home over a bloody football team. Grow up.

Yes, sadly as much as I like football it has to be admitted that it is followed predominantly by the lower racist classes.

I don't see any racism in this particular issue Mac, just moronic untermensch behaviour.

This wasn't a racist incident but we can be almost certain it was committed by the racist class. (untermensch if you must)

Are you saying that all the perpetrators were white? I would think that some were not.

Don't make me say it. They were working class. Ok, are you happy?

So all working class are racist are they? You really are a piece of work, aren't you? Made worse because of your professed SJW credentials. Go look up the definition of 'hypocrite'.

Westy all I can say is well done to Villa.We should have won but didn't few mistakes lack of clinical finish and Villa showed a lot courage and effort to keep pressing.Good luck

[westisbest]

Cheers dyna. Nyland certainly kept us in the game with some crucial saves.

Played well in parts. Maddison has an off day by his standards.

Looks like it will be City, unless United can somehow turn it round.
Will need some luck in the final. Not expecting much, but if I can get a ticket, will enjoy the day out.

Liverpool could smash almost every record this season. I wouldn't put it past them to win the European cup aswell. Great job by Klopp without buying any superstar names. A great club.

I do think Klopp will probably end up elevating himself to the upper echelons of greatest managers that we’ve seen in the game in these islands, I also think Guardiola should be there in the list. A list for me that would comprise of..
Fergie
Shankly
Busby
Paisley
Stein
Clough
Mourinho

I’m sure it’s just coincidental that Caledonia sounds very similar to Catalonia.

Let’s hope the U.K. govt handles itself a bit better than the Spanish govt did when faced with a separational crisis.

Don't forget Wenger who lest we forget revolutionised football in England, his later Arsenal career takes away from how good he was for the first 10 years. Guardiola tends to take over good teams, gets them playing well and then sods off when the going gets tough, the quintessential flat track bully.

Why Mac? The SNP are powerless on the issue, she's rattling a rubber sabre.
Sturgeon has no power to make a referendum happen and she'd be a complete moron to have one now even if she could. Its certainly worth waiting a few years to see if Britain is successful or not.
She is the most pathetic one eyed politician in the country. Everything, and I mean everything she and her bigoted, horribly Nationalist party does is viewed through the lens of independence and she has never given a good reason or justification for Scotland being better off independent.
Ghastly woman

Bearing in mind the current numbers of SNP seats a) in Westminster & b) in Holyrood thats probably the best approach to boost her popularity and mandate even more. It’s clearly not in his nature but Johnson will have to tread carefully here.

Of course the other one that will eventually surface as well is the majority of NI MPs floating the idea that it may be better for them to align themselves to Dublin rather than Westminster.

See the trouble with being a bull in a china shop and lying through your teeth is that you have to continue to lie bigger and bigger until eventually it all goes pop!!! I’m afraid standing with your fingers in your ears going la la la la just doesn’t cut it.

[super_realist]

JAS, they're all liars. You can't seriously believe that any politician is trustworthy.

Would Johnson actually care anyway? It just means that his party would be in forever.

Just an observation here...when a Left of center politician is caught lying, the retort never comes back as, “Yeah but all politicians are liars”, the condemnation, vilification, shaming, ridiculing goes into overdrive. Whereas when Tories do it, by far the most common retort is “Yeah but all politicians are liars” as if that’s some kind of valid excuse!!

I rationalise the above by recognising that we do live in a conservative democracy where lying is acceptable. If you vote for lies then you shouldn’t get irked by it when it happens.

Oh...and would Johnson care anyway? Most definitely not, care is not a word I’d remotely associate with Johnson in any shape or form.

On the last part, certainly for a while yes.

Hmmm, not 100% sure you got the point Soul which was that there has been in recent times an awful lot more lies peddled by the right. In spite of which a majority of the electorate find it acceptable. Now is that because
a) They are really good liars and many believe them or b) The truth isn’t really that important. Which one is it?

Why do you only acknowledge the lies of the right. What about the laughable lies of Corbyn  et al. That's why I said they're all liars.
I don't see one side as being any better than the other. Why do you? You can't still be bitter that Labour didn't win, its not like you could genuinely want to have a Labour government with the feeble Corbyn at the helm.

The vast majority of mps are decent and work hard for their constituents. The whole all mps are liars is based on views of the minority of mps. It's like people who think that the country is to PC or liberal because a minority of people complain about things.

It is getting annoyingly "woke" and "offended" though to a ridiculous degree.

Nope, it isn't.

A minority of people find ridiculous things offensive. This is then picked up, picked up by the media, and brought to the attention of loads of people who then getting in a frothing mess that the country is becoming this that and the other. When it's really just a very small amount.

Case, in point, being Mr Realist. Who thinks this.

It's like, people want to be offended at each step. A minority get upset, then a bigger group get upset by the minority. People aren't helping themselves.

Celebrities tend to be a big problem, the majority of them lean one way so as to look woke and being in the public eye their voice is louder than most.

[beninho]

Owen Jones, who I find pretty annoying, is no more noticable then Farage. Lily Allen the same with Hopkins. Nothing about trying to look woke , a word I don't really understand, it's just people expressing opinions. Doesn't mean they are the majority, it's still the minority.
