    On balance, I tend to trust their instinct for self-preservation over your rather rosy assessment of the character of a man who has repeatedly and unashamedly sided with some of the most virulent anti-semites on earth.
    Indeed, even that most passionate of lefty broadcasters, James O'Brien was positively scathing about Corbyn earlier. References to Nazi's in the home of holocaust settlers was a step too far.

    Whether or not they can pay the stadium costs while retaining their few star players and also aggressively investing in better players is a different issue. This summer may suggest not - but then it has been an extremely odd and almost quiet transfer window all things taken into consideration (apart from Liverpool).

    City 1 player, Chelsea 1 player, United 1 player?**

    *big signings of course
    They took out a £400m five year loan so I’d say they’re ****ed for the next few years.

    They're going to have their lean spell, and if Pochettino handles it half as well as Wenger managed ours, I'll be surprised.
    I like to quote (more or less) Danny Fiszman when people say things like this:

    'the annual debt repayments on the stadium are £20mil but the additional revenue generated annually is £50mil so can you explain to me why you think the football club will be worse off financially once we move into the new stadium?'

Following orders - it's what they do.
    It's all a conspiracy against Our Jeremy, you say? He didn't appear on Iranian State TV claiming Israel carried out the terrorist attacks on a beach in Egypt? (That's the Iranian State TV which parrots the Iranian official line of wishing the destruction of the jews? The Iranian State TV which paid him £20,000. The Iranian State TV he didn't appear on.) He didn't welcome his 'friends' from Hamas and Hezbollah? He didn't organise and speask at an event comparing jews to Nazis, on Holocaust Remembrance Day? He never regularly shares platforms with some of the most outspoken jewhaters in the Islamic world?

    Fúck me, that's an awful lot of lies they've got away with. Is it because jews control the media, like they control banking? THOSE FÚCKING ROTHSCHILDS! Fúcking jews, no wonder Our Jeremy hates them.

    NO! WAIT! I'm confused now.

    I would agree, but didnt he sign a new 5 year contract recently?

    Levi's worked his charm and persuaded the bloke to buy into the vision.
    Of course, at the same time he's secured a huge fee for the club, should any of the Euro giants decide to go shopping.
    You can't really doubt Levi's eye for long term gain. Just look at the deal he pulled on those stadium cranes. Some absolute top Jewing there.

    In fact, the closest they came to such a threat was in East London in the 30s and it was the far left, including my granddad, who lined up alongside the jewish community and battered the BUF out of the east end.

    Ghosts of Cable Street. Oh yes

    My mother-in-law went for tea with Oswald Moseley. His manners were impeccable, apparently. A gentleman. Then he started wearing silly uniforms and taking himself seriously, and before you knew it Bertie was asking, "Look at that frightful ass Spode s****ing about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?”.
