    USSR invades Ukraine.

    True, but then Russian media don't broadcast anything negative about the regime there anyway, at any other time either.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Here you go. Perfect example. Russia universally sing from the same hymn sheet (apart from the few independent voices, who are either shut down or arrested). So, the US intelligence said the invasion was happening and the French intelligence said it was not. It's not one universal voice over...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    We know there is a lot of propaganda from the Ukrainian side. My new missus (have to mention the "new" bit, because obviously old missus is Russian and it would be very confusing) keeps sending me stuff from the Ukrainian side, which is clearly just propaganda.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I agree. Big difference between anything and everything, so I never take anything as fact, but think maybe there is some truth in it l, whereas, with Russia, I expect it all to be total bullshit

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Example of the Russian side. Some military pundit over there has said that not only is the campaign going very well, but it will go down in history as a shining example of how all wars will be carried out in the future. That's how successful it is Well, it is clearly not going to plan is it...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Very true. Russia is renowned though for steering so well away from the truth, it's almost laughable.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I would always be more likely to believe something coming from Western sources than from Russian. Everything that comes out of Russia is controlled and state validated. Here, besides governments (which I am always a little dubious of), you also have military history people, ex generals etc...

    "My mistake" would have sufficed.

    I liked the Rice/Phillips tandem, but Bellingham is a player who can be box to box and both hold and attack, so has many more strings to his bow. I would like to see the Rice/Bellingham explored further.

    Do you think he would be in if he was playing at a top Premier League club here?

    All looking good for England women so far. 🤞 Pinning SA back and it will need a big innings from someone to turn this around. SA currently 71-4 chasing 294.

    International break including WC playoffs

    Not sure on that. James is excellent at right back and Shaw at left back. I think they are both top players. We then also have Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Armstrong and Kieran Tripper. At the left back we have Ben Chilwell. It's the centre where we are weaker I think. The centre backs...

    Get on your molly.....ready for the drop? PLUR.

    It's really worrying when you say "old ravers" but the scene was too young for me. 😱

    It will be Mount though. He is a Southgate favourite. I don't think he's done particularly well for England myself. Done really well at club level, but hasn't shine that brightly for England. I much prefer Foden to Mount.

    To be fair, Southgate always seemed unsure as to where Grealish would fit into the side, even when he first went to Man City. Southgate is in love with Mount and also really rates Foden and Rice, so it is at times hard fro Grealish to find a place in the England line-up.
