    That's it with Liverpool. You look at the team sheet and it's underwhelming. The Diaz and Jota injuries have been massive. We know they can't defend without Van Dyke - couldn't before he got there and struggled every time he's been out.

    Difference between being able to kick a ball and being tactically astute. Dyche changed the shape and style. As good as yesterday's result was he's still got a long way to go in terms of getting that team scoring the goals they need to turn up.

    Maybe but this is a change of management style in this case. Sometimes got to work hard before you start playing pretty football. Watched a few Arsenal games this season and teams have been sitting off them, letting them play

    Haven't gone into the detail of admin report but was a figure ever reached for the total amount that RFU were insisting had to be repaid in order to continue?

    Mason Greenwood

    Apparently the girl had told police & CPS last April she wouldn't be a witness. Maybe they kept it open hoping she would change her mind. Difficult to continue at Utd but other clubs (maybe overseas) will take him because he is a good footballer. Expect to see some PR company organising a...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Russia launches a push then it's anti aircraft defence & tank "killers" they need now. Italy & France were talking about sending some.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Have to remember these "older" interviewees also grew up in (and were educated by) a system that was anti-West already. There's little independent media (any negative or attempts to report the happenings in Ukraine is still punishable by up to 15 years in prison) so people often just parroting...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    absolutely. Theme is constant in the "West" that trade and money can change mindsets/political systems etc. "Less liberal" regimes interpret the "West" as weak due to the perception that policies on issues such as immigration, equality, free speech, human rights show Govt weakness. Putin has...

    Everton haven't had a problem with conceding goals - pretty much average for those outside top 6. It's scoring goals - only 15. Dyche isn't known for that side of his management. It could all come down to the proverbial 6 pointers against other teams around them. Dyche won't be there long (if...

    People don't like backtracking. Eagles were getting pelters last few years for being a disfunctional organisation who didn't know what they were doing. Nobody was taking Hurts seriously due to being ousted by Tua at Alabama. Then suddenly everyone wakes up and finds they have built a great...

    Attritional stuff by the Eagles. 31 pts off just 270ish offensive yards is impressive. Can see them repeating that on the Chiefs. Thought the Chiefs might get taken with Mahomes injured - just not the same player if he can't move. But that Chiefs defense is way better than when the Buccs took...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Going to happen more often. Iranian support for Russia could well see the sharing of nuclear technology between the two countries as the price for this support.

    49ers & Eagles probably best 2 balanced teams in NFC. Eagles have 2 exceptional lines particularly O line which has been a massive impact on Hurts this season. Purdy struggled against Cowboys and is going to have to improve a lot against Eagles. Maybe he's getting too much credit as he's "Mr...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It's state controlled media. It's very much aimed at domestic consumption for the regional masses as being their main source of news. Don't forget it is still a 10 year sentence for openly criticizing Putin's Ukraine policies. Again the mobilizations/conscriptions etc are focused in the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Armaments need special govt export license. In these are conditions basically saying for the exclusive use of the purchaser or something similar. It's to control ( in theory) where arms are ending up ég countries buying arms then reselling them to "problem" countries. Also applies to many...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    To the Germans it was just another manufacturing business - mainly for export. Ukraine war has changed that mindset. Going to see real increases in theirs ( and other EU countries) military spending. One for Russia, two to reduce the reliance on the US and it's less reliable political mindset...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Not sure it makes that bigger difference. Russian public been told the whole time that they're are at war with NATO; that NATO do have boots on the ground in Ukraine etc. The bigger threat of a disproportionate reaction was Ukraine committing attacks inside Russia - which they done. The...
