    Spanish super cup sellout

    Had missed this. Spanish super cup being held mid-season in Saudi Arabia. Slippery slope of football prostitution continues.

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    You'll still be paying for their security. That'll probably cost a bit. Plus they'll have all the wackos from her family turning up with film crews to cash in. Thought they were supposed to be moving to Africa (Botswana maybe)? Not enough publicity there for her?

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    Need a sweepstake on what products they endorse first. Saw they'd copyrighted/trademarked a load of names a while back. Hired their own commercial team. Time for Charles to admit Hewitt's the father on the Jerry Springer show and give them some US TV air time to kick off the new business

    Iran & USA

    Also Iranian missile attacks on US targets on Iraqi soil undermines the Iraqi position with a large part of their population. They've allowed iranian-backed militia to attack US assets prior to Suleinai assassination and now a large missile attack (in proportion to number of missiles US used)...

    Iran & USA

    Iran threatens Israel every week. Dubai a close ally of Saudi plus strong links with West. So a geopolitical threat from Iran. Unlikely to bomb due to large expat population (Inc Iranians) which could draw other countries into any conflict. Iranian threats to unleash Hezbollah and other Shia...

    Iran & USA

    The overt threat could be over. Iran's control of its domestic media & Internet censorship means it can claim honour served with the "death" of 80 Americans. Iran knows it can't fight an overt war with the US and its leadership is aware of the potential consequences of engaging in a war with...

    All purpose cricket thread

    Stupid idea. Teams already struggle with over rates. Lose a session to weather or light and game is pretty much dead.

    Thought they'd blown it at tea. Pretty decent all round team performance.

    Iran & USA

    But if this assassination increases Iranian influence in Iraq it could just have moved Iranian missiles that much closer to Israel. Soleimeni was a terrorist in a uniform but was openly killing him on foreign soil a wise move? Time will tell. certainly the growth of Iranian-backed militias...

    The official NFL Thread

    McCarthy to the Cowboys. Which version turns up? Could be a problem for Elliot as never had much of a run game for most of his Packers tenure.

    Needed that late wicket. Need early ones tomorrow or could waste Sibley's ton.

    Think the kids in the middle order showed a lot of promise. Yates has the temperament to open but maybe too soon to move him up. What we will be is ridiculously over-staffed in the quicker bowling dept (surely can't have a repeat of the 2019 injury nonsense)

    Iran & USA

    tbf multiple foiled attempts to take out every President. Obama was supposedly "heavy traffic" with all the right-wing racist nuts even when he was campaigning before he got elected the 1st time.

    But he was basically playing some one day stuff and 2nd XI red ball cricket. He certainly isn't the cricketer that arrived 3 years ago. Hope Farbrace is out there looking for new batsmen as we won't be seeing Sibley this summer

    Iran & USA

    Several reasons. State controlled media and multimedia paints its own version of world events. Several organisations can mobilize large numbers and make sure people attend. Military has a far bigger role in these states compared to us and the rest of Europe. Many do buy into this inter-faith...

    Iran & USA

    Same old story. After the Iraqi vote those MPs present were chanting "death to Israel", now the Iranians threatening Israel.
