It doesn’t matter really does it? European politicians are powerless and pathetic.

Holy crap, that Trump post about Zelenskyy ☹️

Aside from Hitler the second (Putin), I’d be far more annoyed with Biden and the European morons promising the world while having absolutely no balls to follow through with it.

Going to go against the grain but the new Everton stadium looks class. It’s functional and not a complete hospitality hell hole until Tottenham. Unlike West Ham, fans are close to the pitch too. Aesthetically from the outside it’s as good as I’ve ever seen. It’s much closer to Liverpool centre in a historic part of the city going through gentrification (some class bars in walking distance). If they get it right, it could be a success imo.

Zelensky throwing a strop probably isn’t going to convince Trump that restoring relations with Russia is a bad thing. He needs to play the cool and patient game.

Club culture is involved in a lot of this as well. Post Pearson I can’t think of a single manager that has given youth a proper chance.

Leeds squad is vastly weaker than last season, they’re basically playing at a similar level. Piroe has been firing away but they would get destroyed at premier league level in much the same way as us. That Sheffield United squad being where they are also tells you about the standard.

The same fixture the other way around is when Meslier messed up. What a nightmare.

Chorlton has a lot of decent eateries

Look at the Swansea team he had though, looking back it’s scandalous that he didn’t get them up.

It’s funny that presidents have gotten away with things much worse than Watergate. Nixon was generally one of the best presidents of the past 80 years and I think it’s weird to see him in the same context as Trump, which is terrible indictment on American politics.

Why not?

British troops in Ukraine then! Thank god. Especially when you hear Zelenskyy say that Russia is staging 150,000 troops in Belarus ready to attack Poland next year. We need to support Ukraine to stop them. Especially as the Mango Mussolini doesn’t think Russia wants to start a war with NATO. Idiot.

Good lad Mark

What are the best countries/teams currently for a decent combo of atmosphere and a real cultural identity? Looking for another trip maybe to a non big five country.

There is probably a way around it a) break the rules like forest b) pray

Top 5 will likely qualify, unless Villa win the CL it’ll be the top 5.

Very good chance now I think that both Forest and Bournemouth are playing in the champions league next season.

I’m skeptical, doesn’t mean they didn’t do it. Just on the basis for why would they do it now? I’ve seen some credible OSINT saying that it was probably an unintentional crash on the way to Kyiv, but obviously flying explosive drones over a nuclear disaster zone is abhorrent in the first place.

About right

Policing in football has come a long way in the past few years, for the most part they interact with fans, treat them as humans rather than cattle that must be contained and only really respond when absolutely necessary (again for the most part). Yet what we’re seeing from the club completely goes against this ethos. Do they know how stupid they look when the police are the sensible voice in the room?

I’m pro Ukraine but feeling a bit skeptical about this drone attack on Chernobyl this morning. I don’t really see what the Russians would gain from it, while the timing means Ukraine could potentially gain a lot. Maybe the Russian military really are that stupid.

The people defending the bans on here are embarrassing themselves. You can’t ban people based on vibes and if it went to a civil lawsuit it would likely be overturned but people aren’t in the financial position to take a premier league football club to court. If someone did something genuinely dangerous then the police would deal with it and once it got to that point, bans would justifiably be handed out. Quite frankly, if the police aren’t interested then neither should the club be but hey ho.

That’s the 5th league game in a row that Wigan haven’t conceded a try which in modern rugby league is completely unknown. Shame there’s no world club challenge this year.

Let’s be fair it’s not her making the decisions here.
