Its even more important than that. Really interesting article from Matthew syed in the Sunday times which I meant to attach earlier in the week Here’s a snippet ‘Let’s circle back to Ukraine. Did you know that it has been described by Jonathan Maxwell in his superb book The Edge as a...

Agree that eradication of Hamas is their stated aim and also heard the disquiet at their lack of efforts to free to hostages. But i do think they’ll end up agreeing at least a temporary ceasefire in return of the remaining hostages in the short term. External pressure is increasing. Maybe I’m...

To be fair, Pete’s question is a reasonable one. If Hamas released all hostages then it removes another ‘justification’ for Israel’s actions. We all know that’s not what Hamas have wanted though, they’re happy for Israel to bomb Palestinian civilians. Their plan to get a reaction worked better...

or more if you sit in the same stand as swifty

Might be worth watching some of the hard knocks shows. You might end up liking some of the players, coaches etc of a team. Ive got a soft spot for Lions after watching them even though I follow saints (for my sins)

Just desperately clinging to power…and using the death of civilians to achieve it. The only way to achieve a proper solution is the removal of Netanyahu/his government and Hamas. Fuck knows how you get there though

Love it. Footballs probably too fast moving. Works perfectly in nfl though as it’s pretty stop start so allows them to jump around whenever it looks like there’s a chance of points being scored

To be fair to Purdy I thought he did pretty well. As the commentators said I’m surprised 49ers didn’t run as much as expected start of second half, when they went back to it they started causing problems. Chiefs defence has been immense all season* so got to be taken into consideration when...

Didn’t have a great half and awful interception but 49ers defence was very good. Came alive in second half. Couple of great runs and shifted momentum. Just felt never in doubt when he had the ball late on. He’s a genius

Noticed on eticketing that Baggies away also started to go on sale today.

That’s exactly what I do. Avoid the score and watch ‘live’ fast forwarding through the breaks, brings it down to a 1.5 hour watch Fair play to Mahomes and chiefs. Great defensive game all round and then a very exciting 4th quarter onwards. You do wonder if that extra point miss cost 49ers but...

It’s not about indulging anyone, it’s what the NATO members agreed in 2006: ‘In 2006, NATO Defence Ministers agreed to commit a minimum of 2% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defence spending to continue to ensure the Alliance's military readiness. This guideline also serves as an...

Agree we need close co-operation with European countries, especially with France, who i mentioned above and have been the only larger European nation to take defence seriously. I also agree that if trump gets back in that will be even more important. I’m just questioning whether an EU army would...

Of course. I was talking about the agreed minimum 2% of GDP for nato members…which a load haven’t been paying for years

I presume that’s a joke ? Just look at the difficulty in providing Ukraine support being held up by Hungary. I can see it now ’Hold on Vlad, don’t invade anyone just yet, we have to go through our usual months of bureaucratic laborious negotiations to decide whether we all agree we can employ...

Yeah, had a the snake queuing at my turnstile against Bristol city. Worked fine and makes sense. Must’ve been other issues today

Think I heard he’s now got nine goals in his last 14 starts. Plus any assists

Refs really need to start protecting him more. It’s a disgrace whats being dished out and it’s an injury waiting to happen. I suppose after the blind eyes being turned to date and the lack of response to the Allen injury, we probably can’t expect to see any change Love his mentality though. No...

Absolute nutter and ridiculous comment. I fear for NATO if he becomes president again. The underlying point with regard to defence spending is correct though. Loads expecting a free ride, look at the % gdp spend for 2022 and 2023 for a lot of nato countries*…and that’s with a war going on on...

Very good second half after awful first 25
