Youth team players generally shouldn’t be near the first team! This isn’t controversial.

I seriously doubt Tavares is going to come on, let alone score.

Do you need a lie down? We’re talking about Russia, old chap, I think you’ve got your reds confused.

Well for a start I would propose sanctions more tough than the only one you’ve proposed, which is to give Putin the one thing he wants (after we’ve already given him a free chance to let him annex another bit of Europe, of course). Do you think your plan would deter Putin in the future?

Vladimir Putin likes this 👍

My main point is that regardless of the quality of politicians, many of the recent alternatives put forward by Western countries on both the left and the right have a dangerous blind spot where it comes to this specific issue.

Does that guy work with an old bloke with a keen interest in axe murderers by any chance?

His op-ed on the matter earlier this month made his position clear, and it was completely bizarre IMO. Not sure I'd want someone who spends so much time apologizing for the Russian POV being in charge of the West's response. Biden is no foreign policy genius (see, uh, Afghanistan) but he does...

I mean, I like Bernie too, but I can also acknowledge that he's got a real vulnerability on this specific issue. He certainly wouldn't be my pick to lead the international response on this one. But he would be yours?

I can only imagine what Trump's response would have been to all this! Which presidential candidate would you rather be running the US strategy here?

I was listening to a fascinating talk on Nazi Germany’s war economy just yesterday. It’s an hour long, but well worth it. Long story short, it argues that Germany wasn’t anywhere near as advanced economically as its opponents...

Fascism? Really?

It's hard to believe Bidwell is still struggling with match sharpness 30 games into a season where he's racked up more minutes than most members of our squad.

Ahh man, I really wanted Allassani to be good. Where is he now?!

I mean, sure, it's an assumption, but a pretty safe one I'd say. Same reason I wouldn't give Hilssner a standing ovation if he came on next week. Is there a reason beyond blind, happy optimism that I should think different? (I'm not swayed by a good goalscoring record in the Professional U23...

Not very well, but weirdly I don't think we lost a game where either of them played there? Anyway - if you watched yesterday's game and thought 'Thank heavens we got rid of all our senior striker depth to bring in Bidwell', then good luck to you.

Interesting argument - how did Bidwell get on yesterday?

Because we have one of the league's smallest squads combined with key injuries to our forward players. Players like Tavares and Dinanga wouldn't normally get close to the bench of a Championship side, but here we are. There's no shame or controversy in admitting this. They should be enjoying it...

Don’t think it’s limited to a few people. Who was the last player who got such a big ovation when they came on for their debut? I didn’t even make a big fuss over the guy in my first post in this thread. But apparently there’s only one guy who people want to talk about. Apparently I hate the...

The New York Times there, with their finger on the pulse of British political commentary.
