Ultimately it also clears the Conservative Party out of the “Boris brigade” and gets them back to being a more stable offering (hopefully).

Just pay what we need to pay and sign Dju.

I know we all joke, however it is now the 11th. Other than Antonio, we’ve heard absolutely nothing about incomings, or outgoings for the men’s team. The ladies team have had some movement.

We have an few options really. 1. Football is a money game and a billionaires play thing. We just need to accept it and allow the money to flow and people chase ambition. Clubs like Newcastle flourish and become the new Superclubs as they’ll make transfer worth £500m for players. PSR is abolished. The Premier League becomes the Super League. 2. We have a wage cap that is the same across all clubs with a heavily audited approach, to ensure we have a level playing field. You end up with a league like Scotland and everyone leaves to go and play for one of the other clubs in Spain, France or Italy. We saw this with the wage cap in Rugby. 3. Currently we sit with option three, which is a PSR approach that allows restrictions of investment, and stifles growth from the smaller clubs, allowing the big clubs to grow. This supports the elite class system. 4. We just abandon all history and UEFA generate a European Super League, similar to that of the American system, with play off games etc and Madrid Vs Leeds is a casual Tuesday night game for 6th or 7th spot in the league. Money is free reigning for transfers, however you have a sort cap for something like £300m per annum.

They may as well just say ticket sales for the game were …… If this continues though, how many jack in season tickets. Bizarrely, I think more people renew if we get relegated as they’ll want to see us win the league, rather than seeing us just scrape safety.

I think this largely feeds by social media (maybe we should call them Social Mafia) algorithms, that re-enforce what they are looking at!

It’s largely a game of luck and trying to get caught up in the heard mentality crossfire when people begin to assume you’re a traitor.

I spent yesterday morning, helping people get out of the road I live on.

We’ve improved the squad already, as Carranza has gone. End of business.

Anyone but Liverpool and Arsenal and I’m happy. I’d rather Forest or Coventry win in than them two.

I overlook a nature reserve where I live. The road and everything I can see in front of me (pond, trees etc) looks no worse than it do at 21:00 last night. It sees that massive blast we got was the worst of it. I can imagine when you get onto roads that actually see traffic and a gritting vehicle, it’s easier to get around.

Someone should be able to make an AI video of that!

That episode was hilarious really.

They have some really, really, random stuff

Trump is completely different as a President in how he acts to his predecessors. He’s leveraging social media to bully and push his agenda, rather than use the “old school” media. He’s basically cut out any sort of PR person to round the rough edges off what he’s saying. He publicly criticises peoples and challenges his own allies. Even the entire impeachment stuff and how it played out was bonkers in reality. It’s just a lack of traditional respect. Then you have the entire MAGA and American first approach, whereby he’s questioned NATO, Paris agreement etc. Then you have the entire bypassing congress, reducing authorisation to undertake stuff, legal challenges, aggressive style and polarising views. It’s almost like he doesn’t care about conflict and just bulldozes his way to what he wants. Almost like an aggressive businessman, rather than a politician! I can’t think of a similar leader in history that is really like him. Napoleon maybe? You could have see him bashing Twitter back in the day! Obviously Trump hasn’t gone around the globe trying to conquer half of it though.

It’s a massive game of poker isn’t it? They’ll likely want to occupy some land, buy a section of it, or station further troops within the region. If he uses the military to start a war over Greenland, then he’d be seen in completely different light in history. his FIFA Peace prize will need withdrawing. To start with, the financial impact to the US markets would be crazy, as you’d get NATO sanctions all over the place. In reality, I think we’ll see continued tension whilst Trump remains in office. This has rumbled on for years, it’s just becoming more vocal now. He risks recession and destabilising the US financial market if he goes to war with NATO.

Bin Laden was the world’s most wanted person and arguably the US was at war with Al Qaeda. Slightly different situation. It didn’t get congress approval, however it was done under the “authorised use of force act” from memory, that allowed the US President to bypass congress. Al-Zawahiri was also authorised under the same act I believe (by Biden). Were they within International Law, now that is debatable! The US didn’t invade Libya.The UN authorised a measure to protect Libyan civilians after the country was in all out civil war. The US undertook initial air strikes, but it was more of a NATO thing. Every President since the “Authorised use of Military Force” act was put in place, has used it. Bush for Afghanistan. Obama in Somalia, Yemen and Pakistan. Biden as mentioned above. Trump against ISIS and the killing of Soleimani at Baghdad airport. The argument here is that he’s actually relaxed the laws for authorisation further. I don’t think any of them truly clean hands, in relation to “should we have got involved” if we are honest. It just depends on where you sit in terms of personal opinion. I’ve not really looked into it in that much detail to understand if it was an about oil (which was my initial assumption), or whether they believe he’s an actual cause of drugs trafficking. It’s now come out that 40 people (civilian and military) were killed in the operation, so whilst they’ve taken Maurdo, it has come at the cost of life. I’ll underpin this with though, is Venezuela trafficking as many drugs into the US as Mexico and Colombia? The answer is no. Trump say what he wants to suit his narrative. A ground war against Mexican cartels would be a huge ground offensive though and that would start a massive conflict in the region, causing massive refugee transit into US soil I’d imagine. All of this is complete different to continually popping off Greenland!

It’s unfortunate for him, however he won’t be the only player we will have had in trial this season. Niggly injuries are part and parcel as the game after you come back from significant Injuries.

We’ll when you consider he’s also taken aim at Cuba, Mexico, Greenland and Colombia in the past 48 hours, is a little concerning. The Epstein files are just another issue altogether. At this point I think the word has largely assumed that a high proportion of socialite type celebrities will have visited the Island.

Trump hasn’t ruled out using the military to take Greenland. Which would end NATO. I really isn’t a fan of it is he.

Just watching this now! I missed this originally

Will they fill 52,500 seats?

I’m surprised Cifuentes is at 15% in still!

They’ll always just announce the ticket sale number unfortunately, not the number that passes though the turnstiles.
