This sort of score line has been coming. Also, Skipp is up there with our most pointless signings because he offers absolutely nothing to this squad over than a body.

He’s been hooked for it as well.

Ward on ………

I mean, Cooper lied that he was a football coach, maybe somethings in the water.

He’s better than what we have. Not really an ideal use of a loan signing though. I’d rather sell Faes and bring Souttar back.

The standard of some of that defending isn’t even league 1 ability. For all the talk of playing in Europe, outside of the larger teams, some of the teams would struggle to Compete in league 2.

I think you’ve most likely hit the nail on the head with some of this. Or I wondered if it was the new Finance Director tidying things up.

Another update and this one is massive!

It would be bonkers for anyone to use one now. The ones the USA dropped on Japan by all accounts were quite insignificant compared to what could potentially be unleashed now.

I’ve just sat down and watched Undisputed. I’m so looking forward to UyskFury2. This time, they have a mutual respect for each other and we’ve not seen any of the circus of the last fight week; so far. Fury as a person, is different to Fury the entertainer. Paris would be happy if he never got back into the ring. The Uysk fairytale needs an ending however and I hope it’s this fight and then he can retire, as a proud Ukrainian. I’m calling an Uysk win.

I’m think nine nations are generally accepted as having them. Great Britain, United States, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, North Korea Then under sharing rule - Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey and Belarus. I guess it’s then where are they stationed elsewhere like in a James Bond film, like you mentioned.

Is it as dim as my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, that now barks if a door isn’t open enough to fit through? He hasn’t got the brain cells to nudge it open with his nose / head.

You’re right, however people will still continue to warmonger to hold onto them. At some point, some crazy nation will drop a nuclear bomb and we’ll need to adapt to survive.

Obviously the Israel / Hamas war as it is now known was triggered in October last year. From a one point of view it does look like Israel are also undertaking a “special military operation” within the Middle East currently. Either way, when you look around the world, we’ve got ongoing conflicts in the Ukraine, Myanmar, Middle East, large proportions of Africa, Mexico, Sudan, Colombia, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, Haiti. It’s crazy really that we’ll have over 100,000 unnecessary deaths this year, because people wants to disagree about religion, drugs, oil and are on ego trips. We’ve got so much land that isn’t used in certain areas because people are in dick swinging competitions with each other, so you have this migration that causes constant friction. If we addressed the root cause of the issue and maybe supported the infrastructure growth in some of these places, rather than resorting to blowing them to pieces. We’d have a more balanced and developed world. Ultimately though to reach that point, this will lead to more blood shed. I’m not sure certain sections of the world want full world peace either. Unfortunately as anywhere takes in more people from either side of a conflict, it brings that anger to its own shores. So violence spreads. This is why we see the riots in Europe etc. I personally don’t believe that the migration levels are the issue really, if we can all live in peace and harmony, people won’t care. Unfortunately it’s the culture clash, or even historical actions that causes the friction. We are a little island at heart and whilst we’ve always had migration, we need don’t have an infinite amount of space. It would be quite nice to keep some greenery and not need the 1,500,000 houses they want to build in the next five years. I fully understand why people want to come here for a better life. I’d want to as well if my family were at risk of some of the atrocities that are happening within the conflict zones. It just seems bonkers when you consider that we are cramming everyone in because we have a system that semi works but is breaking at heart. If we had the land Australia have, we could potential accommodate the amount of migration that ideally wants to come here in a safe manor, rather than people risking their lives crossing the sea on rubber dingys that are made for paddling in a lake. My solution. Send everyone to Australia.

This Manchester City fall off is incredible.

They’ve had to make some choices which will have caused some backlash. They’ve got 4 years (ish) to get the country on the road to recovery. I can’t imagine what a reform lead country looks like.

I think Labour will only do one term if they continue like they are.

https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-leicester-city-plot-sensational-kiernan-dewsbury-hall-return/ Exclusive: Leicester City plot sensational Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall return Leicester City could make a sensational move to re-sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on loan from Chelsea in January, sources have told Football Insider. The midfielder joined the Blues from Leicester in July, but they have been alerted to his availability and are expected to explore the potential of a return. Football Insider revealed on 7 December that Chelsea have made the 26-year-old available for transfer in January, just months after his arrival from the King Power. However, they are set to demand at least the £30million fee they paid to sign him to let him leave on a permanent deal, forcing the Foxes to explore a potential loan. Dewsbury-Hall was a crucial part of the side which saw Leicester promoted from the Championship at the first time of asking last season. His performances in the Championship earned him a big-money move to Stamford Bridge, but he has since failed to make an impact. As a result, the Foxes are interested in providing a potential lifeline for the midfielder to establish himself as a regular Premier League player in the remainder of the season. Since his move to Chelsea, Dewsbury-Hall has played just 13 times across all competitions and was an unused substitute once again for the 4-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday. He has averaged just 52 minutes per game, with all seven of his starts having come in domestic and European cup competitions rather than the Premier League. The midfielder was among a number of players all-but excluded from Enzo Maresca’s plans, despite his success in his Leicester side, and is now keen to move on. A chance to play more regular first-team football is thought to be an appealing prospect for him, and he will assess his options in the transfer window. Leicester, meanwhile, struggled to find a suitable replacement for their star man after his departure and could now bring him back to fill the void he left. Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider in November that Premier League clubs are lining up to sign Dewsbury-Hall in January. Aston Villa are though to be among the interested clubs and are keeping a close eye on his situation, and will provide competition to Leicester’s effort.

https://thehardtackle.com/transfer-news/2024/12/08/crystal-palace-in-transfer-tussle-to-sign-ryan-kent/ Crystal Palace are eager to explore a move for free agent Ryan Kent as two other Premier League rivals are vying for the ex-Liverpool star’s signature. According to Fichajes, Ryan Kent has been garnering plenty of attention from some of the Premier League sides ahead of January. Crystal Palace are considering a move for the 28-year-old ex-Liverpool forward, while Ipswich Town and Leicester City are also in the mix for the free agent. Some might remember Ryan Kent for his stint with Liverpool and Rangers after that, as the versatile attacker is now a free agent. The 28-year-old ex-Liverpool forward left Fenerbahce back in October as he was deemed surplus to requirements by Jose Mourinho. Given the timing of his exit from the Turkish side, it was difficult to find a new suitor immediately, as the January window represents the best chance to do that. Leicester City and Ipswich Town are in the race to bring the free agent back to the Premier League, as they view the 28-year-old ex-Liverpool forward as an option that gives them something different in the attacking third as well as improving their depth. The relegation battlers are eager to take advantage of the unique opportunity to get the forward for no cost whatsoever, although they face competition from Crystal Palace. Oliver Glasner’s side is set for a busy January transfer window and could sign players in a number of key positions. Palace now view Kent as an opportunity to improve their attacking lineup as well as add to the depth. The London outfit will aim to leapfrog their fellow bottom-half rivals like Ipswich Town and Leicester City, as they could put forward an offer for the 28-year-old ex-Liverpool forward to join them.

It’s amazing what a different voice can do for a player. Maresca could have been the making of him last season.

Soumare powering through

A Reid / Vardy masterclass.
