How does Coady wangle these gigs. Literally sat next to Carragher acting like the big one.

That Saffa scumbag trying to blind the wales player needs jailing.

What a loser

Non ironically this. Nice to see Haines, Rew and Tribe get runs, all lads that thrived in the championship last year rather than playing golf.

It takes guts to come from 3 down in such circumstances. Fair play to the lads.

All jokes are at Soumare but all season we’ve looked more solid (albeit minimally) when he plays and an absolute mess when he hasn’t.

This would be a stability pick but I think the club wouldn’t be that sensible

Things are really really bleak and bad but this is exceedingly unlikely to happen. We’d just end up like Sunderland did.

This debate reminds me of stuff like arguments over ‘zero suicide’ where morally it sounds like absolutely the right thing to do, then you realise how utterly miserable and restrictive society would be to ensure that nobody ever died by suicide.

Probably the most significant event in Ukraine since Feb 2022. Let’s hope they get the most corrupt gone.

Not to go into a patronising conversation about colonisation but I highly doubt the population of Curacao would be too thrilled with your assertion.

Ahmed Musa > Alexander Isak

Who would replace Slot at Liverpool? Klopp?

It’s called managed decline, we have peaked and are declining, the winners will be the party who makes the landing softest.

It’s amazing how they’ve turned it around in a short time. They’re close to the all round team. Solid enough batters, fearsome fast bowlers for hard decks, nippy seamers for green tops and probably the best spin pair/trio in world cricket.

Daily Mail says we’re in for Ashton Turner, would that be for the Blast?

All you idiots pushing for youth got your wish, hope you all feel stupid.

A few of them went fishing in the sea instead which feels a lot less tone deaf.

KDH making a hero of himself, I bloody love that for him. What a fella.

We are if we get this wrong

Ukraine is a pawn between west/east. It’s sad but that’s geopolitics. Maybe I’m naive but I don’t see the reason why Putin would want to invade any other European nation. The only risk is maybe Lithuania so they can get a path to Kaliningrad, but if de-escalation in Ukraine occurs then diplomacy can fix that. The big risk is a misinterpretation or accident leading to a bigger confrontation. People keep screaming ‘it’s 1939’ again, but ultimately Hitler didn’t lose over a million men fighting for nearly 4 years and destroying his economy in the process. It’s a different ball game. NATO needs to build up, deter, deter, deter, then Russia won’t play silly buggers.

South Africa are hammering India once again. They’re so good.

We are sadly heading back into an era of might makes right, international institutions are crumbling and climate crises only lead to resource grabs. the deal that Ukraine is being offered now is likely much better than one they’d get if they fight another 12-24 months. They’d be a sovereign nation, on Feb 24, 2022 everyone would’ve taken where we are now. So take it. The Russian translation thing is a stupid red herring that the biggest idiots with no plan keep clinging onto as some sort of ludicrous ‘gotcha’. Of course it’s going to be translated because it involves a Russian speaking country.

Some would call it malice, others would call it realism. What’s alternative, keep pushing Ukraine to fight a war that they risk losing (the way things are going they will), declare nuclear ww3 by fighting Russia or trying to muster a plan to end this crap in a way which meets the needs of Ukraine and Russia as much as possible?

Yeah, they should go for an unknown Dutchman Ruud Van Nistlerooy to replace him too.
