I play Zero build, as I detest the folks that build boxes. Thats my love of COD MW whatever it was back on the PS3.

The Lego Fortnite is pretty cool to be honest.

It’s a stupid system. We would have been better sending them all to Australia.

I’d assumed the coverage off this has slowed as we turned toward winter and it becoming more difficult to get territorial advancements. I don’t really see why either Ukraine or Russia would want a ceasefire at this point. Ukraine won’t accept the paper it’s written on. Russia wants to wipe out all of Ukraine. This will rumble on for years to come I’d imagine.

I guess they saw it as, spend £140m. Saves more in paying to house, feed, rehome, etc etc etc

He’s clearly got great technical ability. He just needs time like you say.

It’s crazy to think they allow this to continue. How can they call themselves the most forward thinking state in the world, the. Continually turn a blind eye to mass shootings.

Apparently one shooter is dead, they’re still searching for a 2nd.

I’ve just looked and you’re right. He was red carded in the last minute for pulling down the last man when England were 4-0 down. He was also sent off at the weekend I believe.

I don’t disagree. It’s clearly with intent and shouldn’t happen, even moreso at that level. I personally don’t think it’s as bad Thatchers elbow, or even Keane on Haaland. I hardly played for 4 years after I did my ACL the first time. Getting kicked, targeted etc was what I expected. However I can also emphasise that the lad is 16 years old and has clearly made a mistake. Wolves seem to have handled the situation quite well by taking him out of the squad etc. m

Fair point, as you are 100% correct that It doesn’t tackle the root cause of the issue. I guess the energy needs to be point into understanding why they are homeless. I’d hazard a guess they’re not all monetary related though, so it needs a system and support for various situations.

It was an horrendous challenge but my point is you may as well have the police on standby at every Sunday League game then, as it happens week in / week out. It’s violent conduct basically, so a 3 match ban as a minimal. I think he picked up a 5 match ban for it? However Wolves sat him out for much longer. By the way, I didn’t play Sunday League football for this reason.

No it doesn’t. However, if Alves gets off the floor, that tackle is never mentioned again. I ruptured my ACL when I was 16 from a tackle from behind. It’s brutal but the reality is, that’s football.

Whilst we are on the homeless / sleeping outside idea. I see the latest figures are over 3,000 people across England. That does feel a little low to me, however isn’t the solution just to invest and build a massive homeless shelter in every city?

It’s a business like any other. I purchased additional properties years ago, however until the stakeholder pension kicked in, I didn’t have a pension. When I choose to retire, they’ll still give me a steady source of income. Eventually though, I’ll pass a few to our children, as buying a house for them is going to be a nightmare.

Think back the Keane / Haaland incident. 3 match ban and £5,000 fine.

Those sort of tackles happen every week in Sunday league. They were part of the game years ago. From Alves point of view, it’s unlucky but what happens on the the pitch, stays on the pitch. It wasn’t a great challenge but he was never going to get an extended ban for it. If you fall or twist incorrectly, he could have picked up exactly the same injury from a tactical foul.

What a “Cat”astrophe Was it a cat burglar

Everton are paying it for us

I’ve been playing with the Daughter as well.

It’s definitely more balanced this year in terms of ability. Haaland hasn’t been as freakish. No coincidence when KDB is out. He’s so underrated and the world thinks he’s great. Liverpool have found that consistency again. As a unit they are incredible when in full flow. Arsenal are still lacking in my opinion compared to them, however they are still picking up points. The gap between Villa / Spurs / Newcastle and the top isn’t t insurmountable. Alex Ferguson always said if you’re within 10 points at Christmas, it was winnable. I can’t really see any of them pushing. They’ll all potentially be in the mix for that 4th spot though. How Ten Haag is still employed is beyond me. Chelsea are also starting to improve. Everton will finish mid table, even with the points deduction. The standard at the bottom end is as good as the top end of the Championship this season.

I realised I’d not done this after the last few games, as our exciting style had football had most likely put me to sleep. Anyhow, both Ipswich and ourselves are still setting a phenomenal pace and will average above Readings record championship points total is we carry on at this average points per game. Our goals for is a similar average to the last time we got promoted, however our games against is still very, very good, amongst the best we’ve ever seen in this league. Only the Sunderland team of 98/99 had a better average goal difference for goals against. Ipswich are conceding lots of goals on average and that isn’t sustainable.
