Putin just sacked the lunatic Patrushev and replaced him the incompetent Shoigu and then made the new defence minister some dull technocrat dude I’ve never heard of. I wonder if he’s purging anyone who is of any threat to him? This would be good for world peace in a situation where Putin stays alive and in power for the foreseeable.

Our front 5 (wilf-kdh-mav-fat-var) is better than anything Utd have put out here. Honking stuff.

West Brom play like 1970 Brazil between the halfway line and penalty area and 2007-08 Derby once they get a sniff of goal.

100% outside the box. He launched himself into the box like Tom Daley.

Leeds have an absolutely horrible bunch of players. Very easy to dislike. That clown Gnonto is one of the worst.

How can you call them the best team but then the outsider. If they’re the best team then they’d be favourites?

Me when the Israeli act comes on.

Jimmy deserved to go out on his own terms. Not dumped unceremoniously and leaked to the media. McCullum is still a terrible person.

I’d imagine the hope is that Indian money is invested in it, ipl owners get a slice of the teams and double up or something as a few IPL owners have a portfolio of teams around the world.

Just woke from a dream where 1st (us) played 6th (Sheffield Wednesday in this case) and we threw it away and lost on pens. So glad this isn’t us.

Torquay United have been saved. A group of local businessmen, the lead of which is a supporter of the club, have stepped in with funds to clear all of their tax debts!

But it’s only escalating. We were very fortunate a couple of weeks back that Iran ended up backing down after their attack. If they hadn’t then that was the casus belli. We’re one step away from global war. Basically the West v Iran and Russia. The unknown variables is if Saudi would stay on the side of US allies (I think they would) and then China who I think would sit out of it and then go wherever the wind blows. Bunker down folks and maybe start seeing potassium iodine stocks are like.

I feel we should be doing more to pressure them not to proceed with Rafah. It's going to be brutal, even if IDF are not gungho, civilians will still absolutely get caught up in it. (And yes I know we should also be hammering Hamas to release the hostages).

Based on Cameron's "nothing will stop arm shipments to Israel" quotes today. How far do you think that would go? If Israel nuked Rafah tomorrow like some of the hardliners have called for, would we still be sending them bombs?

These things happen though. Slavia Prague dismantled us in the Europa league despite coming from a very poor league and being in poor form. Villa have a few injuries and clearly don't have the depth to be at their best.

What's your thinking behind that? Olympiakos aren't great but 5 or 6 goals? Really?

Of course the weather is glorious on the weekend that we’re not playing. Why are there only 2 div.2 games in mid May?

cough ENZO cough. Needless to say the system has looked better once Enzo has given a bit more freedom to the likes of Abdul and KDH.

Usyk is going to beat Fury

This is exactly why he won’t go, because no club is paying a £10million buy out clause for him (unless a top, top club comes in for him).

Yeah he should've waited but it still would've been offside, so it wasn't actually a bad decision. Nothing would've been different.

They're all complaining but he was still obviously offside?

It's so utterly cringeworthy. With commentary the less the said the better 99% of the time.

It's the guy who did the World Cup final which was seen as one of the best reffing performances ever. On the other hand he gave that stupid penalty against Newcastle at PSG.

The officials made VARing look very simple there unless our lot lol.
