Tavares has me buried deep in the mud, what a legend. Went absolutely mental.

He sounds like a smart guy: Conservative MP Bob Stewart 'was kind of torturer' during Troubles I suppose we’ll see - where did he say Putin would nuke first? I’m surprised you don’t think the market reaction has been significant. I’ve not predicted a meltdown anywhere, but the market response...

Which there obviously will be. I think anyone predicting growth in ST sales next season is deluded. I don’t think we’re going to recreate last year’s offer (pent up demand after Covid, cheap tickets, back in Coventry) and that this year is as good as it will get for some time.

Terrorising people with the threat of the apocalypse in the hope that it gives the west pause IS Putin’s nuclear strategy! Seems to be working on a few people already. As for the second part - didn’t you say that Putin didn’t care about his own economy a few days ago? And that keeping Ukraine...

I mean, there are all kinds of reasons, aren’t there? Russia’s military power is an important factor. But I seriously doubt that the only thing deciding our involvement is “Crazy man could push big red apocalypse button”. At least, I hope it isn’t - otherwise, to borrow a phrase, we may as well...

Putin is dangerous enough without having to resort to Dr Evil cliches. Since 1945 there have been plenty of psychotic maniacs with nuclear capabilities, but whatever the strategic setback, none have used them outside of Christopher Nolan films. In real life, “If I can’t have it, no-one will”...

This isn’t analysis, this is (quite literally!) the plot of Tenet.

What is this based on? I fully accept that Putin isn’t acting rationally, but it’s a big leap to say he’s now gone suicidal. His behaviour around Covid alone for the past few years shows a paranoid, self-preservationist streak from a man with a deep insecurity about his own personal well-being...

That’s not what Finland’s former PM thinks…. Anyway, as we all know, this was all NATO’s fault to begin with, so I’m sure if Finland and Sweden do apply to join then people will fully understand if Putin invades them as well.

I mean, there have been a few games this season where our entire tactical approach can be summed up as “Give the ball to Kane and let him cross it”. It was crazy how much we went through him at some points. And he actually did pretty well!

Hilarious that anyone could call Aeroflot the “official carrier of Manchester United” with a straight face. But clearly there needs to be a concerted effort to make sure that deals like this simply aren’t tolerated in future.

Our season ticket sales this season were the highest in decades? Sales for next season will be substantially lower unless we make the playoff final or sign Neymar or something.

The Sheaf song bugs me if only because there’s one too few syllables in “Ben Sheaf” for it to work. So I can only assume people have based it on the Roy Kent song from Ted Lasso, which is just wrong.

And I said that Vladimir Putin will surely appreciate any policy that turns his invasion into a consequence-free cakewalk. You even suggested giving him extra concessions on Ukraine’s future membership of NATO, which would be an excellent advert for Putin continuing this strategy ever westward...

Your argument isn’t a political one - your masterplan of “let them get on with it” is shared by cranks across the political spectrum. And your suggestion that it’s a viewpoint shared by the wider public doesn’t seem to be based on any evidence at all. The reality is you’re out of step with...

What did I do - reel off a list of my enemies and the nicknames I’ve given them on a message board unprompted again?

That’s a lovely speech, and I’m sure you felt great typing it all out. Your mates down the pub would surely pat you on the back for it, if only they existed. You’re still wrong on Ukraine btw.

You’re in good company then! Bit of a nightmare all round for you, this one.

Their position (which I disagree with) is certainly not as cowardly as “let them get on with it”.
