    The official NFL Thread

    If the average American is anything to go by, the rules are to drink as many beers and eat as many calories as humanly possibly while a sporting pursuit goes on in the background!

    The official NFL Thread

    Did the Raiders seriously beat the Pats last week? They were rubbish last night against LAC! I'm guessing they have no back-up quarterback, as Geno Smith was pants. They used up 11 minutes to gain 64 yards in 18 plays in the second half, then got picked off! He broke a whole bunch of records...

    Some of the Week 2 games puts things into perspective a bit more. Bears ran the Pack pretty close but got humiliated by Detroit. They were saying how great Aaron Rodgers was for the Steelers by sneaking past NYJ, but they were both well beaten yesterday, and Dallas only won in overtime against a...

    Some of the best attacking football weve played for years

    No, but the problem is we *didn't*! We dominated possession and had loads of shots, very few of which were on target, from which we scored once. Norwich defended much deeper than QPR or Derby and crowded us out. The tiki-taki passing in the box only works when the defence go AWOL like QPR's. xG...

    Some of the best attacking football weve played for years

    Sorry, but unless our strikers and AM start taking their chances, i fear your optimism is premature. Lovely football with no end-product does not win games!

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    And, given the numbers over the weekend, what proportion of these individuals pose *any* terrorist threat to the UK?

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Reports suggest the White House was informed of the impending attack. They are complicit in the violation of international law. This is a clear attempt to destabilise the peace process and to disrupt the UN general assembly meeting where a two-state solution will be proposed. Bunch of c*nts!

    I'm looking forward to the Chiefs-Eagles game this week. Looks like Jalen Carter is going to get a fine rather than a suspension, so reacquainting himself with Mahomes (in a sporting manner) will be fun to watch! Good luck to the Vikings for the season!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Sadly not ... A recall petition will take place if an MP is: convicted of an offence in the UK and receives a custodial sentence (including a suspended sentence) or is ordered to be detained, other than solely under mental health legislation suspended from the House of Commons for 10 sitting...

    I don't quite know how Chicago lost that, to be honest! Williams looked so dominant, and was really mobile in getting away from the pocket when he needed to. Vikings just covered his targets so well, i guess. McCarthy looks like the real deal, though.

    The Pack looked really good. If Love can find his targets that easily for the rest of the season they will do well!

    That made the game rather closer than it otherwise would have been, i think. Hurts looked good, but his passing options were pretty limited throughout, i thought. Good to see the Chargers beating KC. Media bigging-up Aaron Rodgers 4 TD passes but Steelers only won courtesy of a last-minute field...

    We started watching that. Turned off after about 30 minutes. For such a stellar cast, the acting was proper "am-dram" standard! Was loaned the book to read by a colleague but haven't got round to it. Will hand it back unread! Film put me off totally!

    How much are they for away fans? Any more expensive than for us?

    There was talk just after the viral unfortunateness that they might lease off Uni House, but Stuart didn't want to lose his empire!

    I had a meeting involving our HR Business Partner recently, and it was quite refreshing to hear her say that they fully support a hybrid working pattern, wherever it can be accommodated.
