As did the Spanish in South America. Unforgivable, unfortunate and wrong

My guess is…exactly what we were taught. Nothing. It’s offered as a minor at today‘s Universities. For those who don’t do Media Studies.

So, looking forward to our discussions about an escalation in Eastern Europe. when it starts to hot up in Poland and the leaders in Eastern Europe have their own recollections of what war was to them. There you go, if wars were as simple.

In my view, this is going to grind along for a while. Optimists suggest the UA will break through and then consolidate before liberating Crimea next summer. I’m thinking it won’t be as easy to clear current lines. Russia will feed another 500k conscripts into that area. But, F16s and...

The US plays To its strengths. Biden or Trump. Now there’s a scary scenario. Trump is an arse. He‘d cut budgets, allow Putin to overrun UA and leave Europe facing war. Biden will need a pick-me up if he is elected.

Some pretty interesting stats there.

I had a feeling we’d bombed out a few seasons ago…post Christmas our form was very poor

That’s a low benchmark. Robin’s will want the same level as this season. Our position was ahead of the plan last year. There would be a fair argument for Robins to want our league position to be similar to last season.

The stars wanted a higher level league. 1 got it, the other enjoys the sunshine in a poor top league. We have players on 4 year contracts who are also young. I’m thinking they will be moved on if we haven’t got in the prem in 2 years.

We finish the season stronger most years. But I think there are a few cases during the Ricoh seasons where we tailed off dramatically. If we finish this season the same as last, then we are in for a treat. The Premier Card season ticket is a fair marker for what the owner/manager et Al...

Yes, moved on to the US version. It’s a bit grittier. But also difficult to watch at times due to the pig-headed hunting mentality. Anything that moves is fair game…

Alone USA. On channel 4 player. Straw sucking fly on the wall wilderness survival. What can go wrong? Some real hill billy /hunting mentality that shines through at times.
