Ridiculously good goal in the circumstances.

Hard agree, I think he could hold his own at Prem level in that role provided we aren't playing bomb scares next to him.

Crikey, what a ridiculous save.

A friend who works in the MH field introduced me to the idea that anxiety/low mood/other symptoms aren't the source of a lot of mental health difficulties, it's shame. There's no such thing as good or bad thoughts, or rational or irrational thoughts. The driver of every negative feeling we have is guilt and shame because we feel like we're letting the tribe down, and when we feel that we let the tribe down, we become vulnerable (to predators historically) to negative consequences.

I hope first and foremost that you’re not beating yourself up over it, because I can imagine that’s the first thing that would come into peoples heads. If you try and normalise the situation, covid was absolutely miserable, even more so for those isolated at university. So he 100% will not be the only one who was bumbling along well in life and then bam. Lack of purpose, lack of social life, isolation, no clarity as to how long it would last = what’s the point? If you want to approach him, you could share that Wolves video with him and just reassure him that you’re always there if he needs you.

I find this Georgia stuff a bit weird unless I’m not fully getting it? The basis being that any political party or organisation gaining 20% of their income from foreign countries have to declare it as such. Now I get the implication that this is modelled on a Russian law (so bad), but in this country, if you asked people if political parties should be allowed to be funded by foreign states, you’d say absolutely no chance.

The Saudi punishment for assault is a beating, which we can all get behind in this case.

Video of it. For once I support the full implementation of the Saudi law.

Why is it worrying? People (especially kids) genuinely have less interest in China related stuff because it’s so far removed from our way of life both politically and geographically. It’s not as if these kids are going to growing up as Xi apologists.

Can’t wait for his celebrations in front of the Napoli or Lazio ultras when they sing “tua moglie e un erba”

I obviously love Vardy and will do always and forever but it says a lot about his personality that he’s besties with Wise. He could be mates with anyone in the game if he wanted.

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?
