Culture is very complex and vulnerable to external factors and Judaism in particular both because of it not being a proselytising religion like Christianity or Islam and because of the intolerance it has been subjected. Lots of Jews over the centuries have assimilated within the nations they...

The Ashkenazi is a sub group of the Jewish Diaspora which simply means you are a descendant of practising Jews who left the Middle East hundreds of years ago. (They emerged after what we now call the Anglo-Saxons and we don’t consider the English as a distinct race.) So it is still a cultural...

You’ve missed understood my point. I was answering whether Judaism was a race or a religion and it’s a religion. Therefore antisemitism is the hatred of a person defined by their religion whether the hater realises it or no.

It’s actually an ethnicity based on language which is why the Oxford English Dictionary definition of a Semite is: But obviously in common usage anti-Semites are prejudiced against Jews (or who they believe to be Jews) and in theory might not be Islamophobic but invariably will be too. But...

Man City flailing around in their penalty box at the Amex trying to get rid of the ball when Joao Pedro’s retrieves the ball with a long leg and puts it on the back of the net. I could feel an equaliser was coming but my first response was to laugh at the sheer hilarity of how it looked (and how...

I really hope Pedro stays but have been concerned for a few weeks he will go to Liverpool. He’s not an out and out number nine so if Evan Ferguson recovers his mojo then both can still play, he’s a game changer, he’s spontaneous (his goal against City at home being a good example of how...

Yes, that’s a fair point and it underlines mine that their recruitment model was never as good as ours is now because they couldn’t replace the sold player.

Yes, we shouldn’t get carried away but I do think our recruitment model is more intensive, dynamic and wide ranging than Southampton’s was back then. While they predominantly relied on their academy and acquiring talent within for the most part the relatively small pool of Europe (buying Virgin...

Conversely, regular top ten finishes are a better gauge of progress than one off cup wins (Palace and Wigan) where luck plays a bigger role. The fact is we have finished in the top ten three out of the last four seasons while Palace have only achieved that twice in the Premier League era (10th...

You should be more than ‘not sure’ because it isn’t 😂 but ‘colours’ is a figurative term for the kit identifying the team including its hue!

Loved the way Tommy Watson was in such a rush get into an Albion shirt he ripped his shirt after scoring. Fans and pundits who drone on about which clubs they don’t support they would prefer to play at the top table are utter wankers. Football isn’t Stricity or X Factor where spectators get a...

Being Argentinian I would have thought he’d much rather play for Barcelona because of the link with his country’s two most famous players. Add in that Barcelona look they could be on the verge of a new era of dominance (their championship winning team is very young and Lamine Yamal could become...

I loathe Real Madrid and would hate to see one of our all time greatest players in their sordid colours,

It has been claimed by TEAMtalk’s Fraser Fletcher that the club won’t let him go for less than £80m and that both Bayern Munich and Liverpool are interested in with the added complication that they are both after Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.

The more snide comments we get from the so-called ‘big six teams’ the better we are doing. A few years ago they only pitied, patronised or ignored us apart from the honourable exceptions that every fan base has who would have known about our history and nearly going out of the league. Now we‘re...
