Talent is a generous word with Walliams.

Brook, brilliant player but as daft as mince.

I’ve made it clear so many times on here that morals get us nowhere in this world. Sadly the strongest win, and we’re slowly wising up to this. Thankfully Putin is an idiot who is destroying is countries future.

It basically all depends on Trump right? If he decides to heavily arm Ukraine tomorrow (he won’t), it could halt the Russians in their tracks. If the status quo continues, Russians slowly take more and more of the oblasts that they’re illegally occupying while killing more Russian and Ukrainian men, destroying both countries futures. You can see why it’s tempting from European leaders view to keep this going on. The longer it keeps going, the longer it’ll take Russia to re arm, the quicker NATO can get ahead and deter anything too wild. The idea that Ukraine will take back the Donbass or even Crimea is pie in the sky stuff short of a NATO intervention and civilisation ending nuclear warfare.

Careful, this rational and realistic view will get you cancelled on this forum.

Happy for them, both good blokes!

This event has done its time and is a relic of the darker side of the past. The further it appears off radar, the sooner it dies, thank goodness. Manchester 2002 was good fun though.

The problem for Belgium was always that they wanted shared responsibility and the other EU countries weren’t prepared to do that. I don’t blame Belgium, it’s a weakness of the EU system. The problem is now that the funds come from the taxpayer which is obviously going to turn more people against supporting Ukraine.

A lot of these issues aren’t just Leicester issues, the country is economically on its arse. The only cities I can think of that are thriving are Manchester and Liverpool and they have different transport systems and urban layouts.

They took two instead! I reckon the Aussies can just about get a lead of 400 here which will be too much with Lyon.

If we drew this series, we wouldn’t have the ashes. Winning is tough.

Loved seeing the Kenyan lad beat Black and Decker.

I know we’re bad but it has to be said, winning away in test match cricket is really really hard. In fact the last time a side actually won a series away from home in the ashes was England 2011, the Aussies haven’t won in England since 2001. A loss is expected, the disappointment is the hubris I think and the cheapness of defeats. This Australian team, while still good, is a shadow of its former self.

Selby has only dropped one frame in his first three Scottish open matches so far. Might be in the best form of his career.

there’s very much special military operation v2 vibes about this Venezuela build up. They’re going to go for full on regime change like the good old 1970’s in South America. Maduro is a bad hombre but this is never the answer.

This is why we need war to reindustrialise the country.

Rehan is playing for Hobart right now, so evidently England didn’t fancy him for the ashes. Probably not good enough at golf for them.

Is he just saying this stuff to get more money or do you think there’s intel?? It really is a struggle to see how Russia would be a direct threat to the UK, how are they going to invade? And a random missile attack would be pointless.

Does he struggle with his mental health? That’s not a normal response to losing a close game.

Trump’s tribute to Rob Reiner is touching in terms of how psychopathic it is.

That bloke that stepped in and got shot was a part of the local Muslim community. I think there’s something pretty symbolic about him stepping in to protect Jewish people from evil. I hope he gets rewarded with whatever he wants on this earth and that God (if it exists) keeps a nice warm space for him in paradise when the time comes.

Police have denied this one but Jesus Christ, the perpetrators are feral scum.

Please don’t!!! 😭
