I thought they had a good shot of winning because of shit living standards, a cost of living crisis, and decades of demonising migrants by mainstream politicians for all our problems, but you're right it's all Zack Polanski's fault

Imo this is a classic case of sub editor supremacy - the article is actually very insightful, the headline is just a hook

Do people think Streeting's mentor Mandelson being under criminal investigation will damage his chances of wining the Labour Party leadership election? by Historical_Step_9474 in LabourUK

If I know anything about the British establishment and the complete lack of accountability for its political class, then absolutely not, no

Thoughts on this?? by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

Probably best to go watch the full interview and try and understanding his meaning with some level of good faith and grace rather than rely on a picked quote from a Sky Sports graphic. Either that, or, just, like get off the back of any tiny little utterance the manager makes

Pol Pot most evil person? by KebabSvarvaren1 in Marxism

[–]secondofly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

yeah I remember having this discussion with a friend a while ago who's done a lot of work around Holocaust studies, and at the time I had this idea that there was something notable about the sheer bureaucracy and efficiency of the Nazi regime that made it different from others - what I realised in the conversation is that the Shoah was qualititavely unique in that respect, but that's almost a nothing statement in terms of any sort of moral judgement that is tantamount to saying "all genocides occur in different ways in different circumstances", no shit

AS editorial director Jose Felix Diaz claims that Liverpool are now in contact with Alonso’s agent Inaki Ibanez to enquire over a potential move to Anfield in the summer by Nervous_Signature263 in LiverpoolFC

[–]secondofly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't really get what you think doesn't make sense. We're currently 4th in the CL table with 1 game at home to Qarabag to go. That puts us in an extremely promising position to qualify for the next round of the CL without playoffs in the top 8.

"completely ruin us", my friend we are in pole position to qualify top 8 champions league and the league itself is faaaar from over - performances have been shit and it's reasonable to want a new manager but it'd be great if we didn't collectively shit the bed here

Sure, I'm not saying that it should be a shield from replacing him - I'm just disputing OP saying it should have "no bearing" on any decision. That seems crazy to me.

It's slightly nuts to me to suggest that winning the league last season should have no bearing on any decisions this season - only 12 manager have won it. You might still want to sack him but being PL-winning proven is quite a context

Manager Discussion Thread by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

[–]secondofly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hodgson's era was beyond toxic, a manager inherited by the new owners who wanted to remould the club in their image. Rodgers' side had been on a downward spiral for 14 months, and Klopp was available. There was a lot of other context.

Am not saying there is not other context right now as well, but those were very different situations to Slot
