The bat shit crazy religious extremists, Hamas, were actively encouraged to take control of Gaza by the Israeli Government of course. That should never, ever, be forgotten. As for staying out of the middle east (or Ukraine), I'm afraid closing your eyes and hoping it will all go away isn't a...

I see where you're coming from, but reverse it and put a gang of Palestinians storming a hospital in Israel to neutralise an Israeli politician. Do you think that Israel wouldn't call it terrorism? The one thing I would say is that it's better than bombing and killing innocent civilians in...

There's always some kind of settlement at the end of a conflict, the key thing is on whose terms. It's not exactly out of Ukraine's hands, they're clearly willing to fight on against what they see as a threat to their existence as a sovereign democracy. They could fight more effectively and...

It's a bit rich coming from anyone British (or obviously, Russian) these days. Ukraine, at least, is improving its record on corruption, we're getting worse, and Russia has been bent for so long it's miles beyond a joke. Plus, it's completely fucking irrelevant, unless you think Russia...

Not much to add really, the bloke gave everything and a bit more for us. How many players have enough drive left in them to improve well into their 30s. An absolutely key part of the club's rise; a leader, and a warrior, and I'm sure he'll be much missed around the place.

Good listen that, thank you for sharing. Right man, right club, right time, we're tremendously lucky, imho. I hope, if or when we do get promoted with Robins at the helm, we remember how he got us there and how much we owe him. Especially if we're struggling. If there's one manager who...

Who's getting hot here? Personally I think it's pretty strange trying to fall out with Maidstone because we think they should be on their knees with gratitude at meeting the mighty Sky Blues instead of Man City. Such an odd thing to get all upset over an entirely understandable reaction...

I hope we don't have to start hating Maidstone because they were disappointed at drawing us instead of Man City. Who in their position wouldn't be? Taking it as somehow disrespectful is ludicrously thin-skinned, in my opinion. I hope we get through the replay, and Maidstone come to the CBS, all...

Chapeau, btw... 😁

If we sign him then we need someone next to him who is quick, March? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solly_March

I'll help. It's not that difficult. The first wrong was Hamas crossing the border and killing around 1,400 people including women and children. They've still got around 100 hostages or so, it is believed. The second wrong is the Israeli state killing over 20,000 people, including thousands of...

I suspect it's the manager that decides beforehand who is taking the corners, letting the players argue about it at the time would seem a bit "Sunday League". (On that note, I like to think I could deliver a decent right-foot inswinger at least once in every 400 attempts. Luckily we were so...

If only we'd signed Victor Tarp instead. Covers every blade of grass. 😁

Ireland has a system that looks a bit better than ours, but still is criticised and it's also up for reform (says Wiki). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seanad_%C3%89ireann Off the top of my head, I'd make it an elected position, at least in the majority, and those elections based on PR so that...

FA Cup. We'll just have to accept winning the league by 17 points instead of 20. 😁

Without wanting to re-open the Brexit debate, the 'unelected' thing was always a bit of a myth. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lseupr/2019/02/19/is-the-european-union-governed-by-unelected-bureaucrats/ Regardless, agreed, the House of Lords is an ongoing shambles. Starmer said he'd reform it if...

Or can't be arsed because you haven't got any kind of argument that stands up to reason. Make your case if you've got one, we're all listening. Quit your whining about a bubble and have your say... Or, what's that saying, sometimes it's better to shut up and be thought an idiot, than to open...

Agreed. I don't think many (if any) professional footballers are any different. It's a short, perilous, career - you're one bad injury, or a drop in form, or simply a new manager that doesn't like you, away from it all going sideways. Who could blame COH for maximising his opportunities...

It's like heading, the key is not to be scared of it and attack the ball. 😁

Traditional hangover game. Cold day, silent crowd, two tired teams, 0-0, and feeling sick all the way home. So obviously, having predicted that, it'll end up a nine goal thriller with three red cards and an injury time 20-yard, knob-volley winner from substitute striker... Wilson. 😁
