    With the rest O'Hare thing I can see the point. He is integral to a lot of our attacking play but we don't really make much headway early on in games. So for him to be more effective and give him a rest, I would consider Allen and Maatsen to start a game, make sure we set a solid foundation and...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It's not a defence, it's a deterrent. If a nuke is sent by Russia Trident has failed. It will not protect anyone from the effects of that attack. All we could do is fire some back before we got obliterated to destroy parts of Russia as retaliation. As much as I wish such weapons didn't exist...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I've always taken the title as being sarcastic and more about Putin's mindset. If they genuinely thought the USSR existed then the title makes no sense, because Ukraine was part of it.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Come on. In the space of days the Taliban had retaken the country. And it's not like they're a well-trained, heavily-armed huge group with the latest technology and weaponry and backed financially by a superpower. It was a colossal fuck-up.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I sort of agree with you but for many in the upper echelons, especially the likes of JRM, Brexit was all about greed and corruption. Being able to do things that are potentially risky through deregulation that the pesky EU would never allow them to do. We've actively encouraged the investment...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Agreed. And that's not a warming thought either. Xi has the potential to be as bad. Arguably even more control over the population than Putin, and certainly willing to remove any dissenters. So if we're relying on Chinese help eventually, they'll undoubtedly demand things like total control of...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Probably, but given his absolute control he has over information to the Russian people it would jut martyr him and make them feel the entire world is against them. Like in Communist Russia there will always be someone waiting in the wings to take over, so even if there are those that are...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Yet... If he took Ukraine and felt emboldened he'd push further. No-one thought Hitler would be crazy enough to attack Russia while still fighting in the West, but by that point he'd become so deranged and spurred on by his march through Europe that he did. Absolutely suicidal decision that...

    #He's here, he's there, he's every-fucking-where# Strange thing was I put Jones(Shipley) on the bench as well then realised I had too many subs, so took them out. I was wondering how with our small squad I'd got too many...

    O'Hare is a Burden on the Team

    And as far as I can tell everyone thinks he did exceptionally well to create that chance for himself. But once he got himself into that position he should score. He did the unbelievably hard bit then messed up the easier bit. If I smash my car up as I'm parking it doesn't matter if I've driven...

    I'm old enough to remember

    Hammering handwritten messages to the parish noticeboard didn't really have the same effect, and conversations took weeks.

    Player Ratings

    Dabo looked good after a layoff. Hamer looked re-energised. You do wonder how much others would be able to give if we could give them a rest. Gyo is putting in a tremendous effort and if he wasn't playing so much I don't think any defence in the league would be able to handle him.

    O'Hare is a Burden on the Team

    I'm assuming that's including getting into the position to score. If you're looking solely at it from the shooting position, those should be scored more often than not.

    O'Hare is a Burden on the Team

    He did well over all and yes, most players wouldn't have got themselves into that position to get the chance, but once he has he has to score from there. it's literally a sidefoot pass into the corner. You don't have to be a great shot to score that. He just loses all composure when given the...

    Tavares.

    No-one on here wants him on the pitch more than you want him not on it.
