The greatest trick the capitalist class every pulled was convincing the workers that they weren't engaged in a class war.

Just watched Hallow Road, from May this year.
An unbelievably stressful film. Went into it knowing the basic premise, which is that it's mostly set in one car as two parents drive to their daughter at night, who has been in a car crash, and that it was only 80 minutes long.
It's a thumbs up from me. I love these kind of low-key, high-concept thrillers, and definitely didn't see a lot of the twists and turns coming. I thought it had ended once, then it went off again, and I was a bag of nerves for most of the last half hour. The actual ending is fine, although I was hoping they were about to pull off something really great. But it was fine.
Rosamund Pike is pretty good, some of the other acting is less convincing, especially the over-the-phone stuff, but it didn't really matter, the film is carried along by unfolding events rather than character development.

Id rather see him at CM as I think that's where you get the best out of him, so long as there is a player alongside him like Madsen who can do the progressive stuff. He can do a cover job in defense, but I'm not sure he should be blocking other players from being in the team there. |

I must be getting old because I don't really understand this, but apparently people are interpreting this as Esquerdinha being pissed off with not making the squad

I'm more in the pro-Field than anti-Field camp, but I don't really understand why he's being played there ahead of Esquerdinha generally, unless he's injured, nor why he was brought on chasing the game specifically? I can just about rationalize starting with him there if JS rates him so highly that he wants to find a way to get him on the pitch, but seemed an odd substitution at one nil |

So many times Dunne made a move in the box and either the player on the ball didn't see or didn't want to take on the cross. |

He's a frustrating player. Comes across as a nice lad, got some good attributes, can best a man but reliably then runs up a blind alley. The offside was ridiculous. Have to say he wouldn't make my squad tbh. |

Yeah just a lack of sharpness all over the pitch, losing battles everywhere and no deciveness when we do have the ball. |

There's definitely a player with potential in there, but against Millwall he looked like he'd never passed a ball. When he's on it and composed he looks like he has the potential to be the sort of player to really dominate a game. Not quite there yet, but hopefully it will come. But when he's not on it as recently he's a bit of a passenger imo |

If you think your ISP is blocking your VPN, some VPNs have specialized services to get round it. On Nord for example you can use an Obfuscated Server, which gets round most things. For example iPlayer is very good at detecting VPNs and blocking them, but a UK obfuscated server usually works fine. |

Pretty much our first team that isn't it? Only change I'd have made is Hayden over Varane, would like to see him get a start, see how he fares. Varane has looked a bit suspect of late. |

This is the infamous third game away fixture isn't it. Would be a nice indication of progress this season if we could get a result. Don't see any reason we shouldn't beat Derby, but would be content with a draw. |

at 13:30 23 Oct 2025
I've wondered about how Celar, and to some extent Kelman, think about our changing to playing with two strikers straight after they left. Obviously would have suited both of their games much more than 451.
We may yet find out with Celar of course |

If it's 352 with Madsen further forward it will be interesting to see how he does receiving the ball under pressure, back to goal etc. For me he's looked better playing deep with a bit more space.
Edit. Having said that id be surprised if we are switching to the 352, pretty dramatic change [Post edited 22 Oct 19:24]

I have a hunch that William will be the one who, on taking the gig, will oversee fairly radical reform to the royal family's role. I don't really know what that would look like, or how you do it. But he seems reasonably smart, he's had a front seat for a lot of the most depressing chapters of the royal family, and i suspect their popularity is only going to keep declining with his dad in the hot seat.
I find the royal family an abomination, and the public's fascination with them degrading and embarrassing, but it's also a double edged sword for them - they have this unnatural, gilded life, but it drives them all insane (and worse - see topic of thread), not helped by all the inbreeding of course.
Historically there were other methods for solving the problem of course, but a managed winding down is probably best for everyone.

There's something nauseating in the way Andrew, Epstein, Trump etc. use such childish language in the leaked email exchanges. At the risk of getting Freudian about it, something about learning to expect to get whatever you want seems to make these men simultaneously predatory and revoltingly infantile. |

With regards QPR, the Twitter contingent are pretty right wing based on what I see, but I appreciate that's not necessarily representative of the wider support. |

FC Utd of Manchester definitely had left wing origins, fan ownership, links with left ultras in other countries etc., but not been for a long time so don't know what it's like now. |
