Yahya is a new entry in the 2024 boys names maybe we can expect to see adolf or Donald next year ……

I stand corrected - He must have been used differently last season based on those numbers. Previous seasons were nothing like as prolific We can’t afford to sell skipp annd we can’t afford to have expensive players sat around. Unless we have a loan option planned for him.

Just seems a broadly similar player to skipp and winks why do we need another ? (Unless winks is off)

the guilty brother will go down (might only be for a year). Given it is a first offence he may have got away with a community order without the publicity and his not guilty plea. Bloke singular mac one of the brothers isn’t guilty of anything at this time Regarding the red mist policeman - if he’s not been involved in anything similar before then I’d accept it was an ill judged reaction in a highly stressful situation. If he’s got form then he should be disciplined

In this case the judge pointed out to the jury that the two hadn’t been involved with the police previously. He said it was up to them to assess whether that made it less likely that would be guilty. Given that the evidence was on video I found the comments bizarre. I wonder if judges have been told to say things like this to try and bring about not guilty verdicts, given the lack of space in our prisons. Maybe the thoughts of the DOJ is that someone who commits an isolated violent offence isn’t much of a risk and on balance doesn’t need to be put away. Wouldn’t sound like justice to me.

Well one brother has for now - perhaps it was thought a poor strategy if the they had entered different pleas

good assessment as you say, the charges relating to pc stampy are unproven (for now) I would expect that the cps will go for a retrial under pressure from the police and politicians. I think this would be the correct route forward. I also think that the prosecution would find it easier to get a guilty verdict on retrial (especially against the brother already convicted )

Must be getting close to a verdict on the manc airport trial jury unable to be unanimous so asksd to reach 10/2 by the judge the defence was basically self defence as they didn’t realise they were being challenged by police. If they get off then I’m concerned re precedence. Anyone involved in a scuffle can lump a copper and claim they didn’t realise. The videos I saw looked pretty solid for a guilty verdict. Whether one of the policemen needs to be disciplined is another matter. Surely that doesn’t affect the guilt/not of the defendants - isn’t it separate??

As opposed to above the soil ……

Get the spinners on !

Is there any oil there ?

if you thought it couldn’t get worse - think again Police officers 'also abused' Rotherham victims https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn9y0lvpyqvo

It’s Tuesday ?

Is that a regular MAGA phrase ?

Bouba is into his last year and his salary will now be a reduced 50k. There is no financial benefit for him in not leaving (there was before ) we will be trying to move wilf on because he has value in his fee. The issue will be that his PL salary will be 80k and any club he goes to will want us to reduce the fee by the remaining contractual difference between what they are prepared to pay him and that amount. Wilf will be on approx 50k here if he stays for the championship. If he moves abroad then he can expect a similar salary. I just think he will decide that it’s time to move on.

Will do a job for us this season, especially when winks or skipp look like they’d struggle physically with the opposition in that cdm area (assuming we no longer have wilf and bouba )

Barak had a go in 2000 but by the time the two sides were on the same page, his premiership was clearly close to the end and Arafat judged there was therefore little to be gained from negotiating on Jerusalem’s status against the PLO stated position and risking someone coming looking for him with a loaded gun. As you say, history shows that those brave enough to try and make peace are likely to become targets of the lunatics on the fringes.

Hear hear

Should be 1-1 hemp isn’t the first player to only see the goal when the opportunity arises

You can’t see in that much detail Mac the areas of n Gaza that can be clearly seen through those binoculars hasn’t been inhabited for more than 18 months Some people will go to gawp or in some cases even celebrate but many will go to reflect on their own circumstances- remember that all citizens will serve in the army as reservists or have kids/close family in that position/soon to be. They won’t know where they will be sent ahead of their period of service. like I said in my original post - it’s nuanced. We look at too many things in life as black and white - they’re nearly always shades of grey. (Sometimes of course, very very dark grey).

https://aurdip.org/en/its-the-best-show-in-town-from-the-sderot-promontory-the-breathtaking-and-sinister-view-of-the-gaza-bombing/ I missed the bbc news ‘snapshot/report’ of the sderot viewing point. This article perhaps gives a more nuanced view. there will be right wing arseholes in every population (we have plenty here and they even make the cabinet in some PR govts) but you can’t label everyone as having the same reasons for wanting to look into the ruins of north Gaza.

The only positive about him is that he’s isn’t a big earner His championship salary around 30k but we know he’s saleable so let’s get it done !

Must be a larger release clause you'd expect spurs to have something to say about that ! presumably the player gets more dosh so no reason for him not to sign it. Win - win for him!

I think it’s £27m english and a PL club sale could be a buyback clause with a value already set

20m isn’t enough but given our position and desperation it’s expected. we could have had 25+ if we’d waited till next summer and done the loan with obligation but everyone knows we need to get money in now. a properly run club would have been putting mads into other clubs and agents minds last autumn when he was performing well. Teams plan for the future - they don’t make knee jerk decisions come the summer window. We needed to be marketing him when his stick was high and we might have got a few clubs interested with maybe an extra 5m. No doubt we weren’t thinking about relegation last autumn - too arrogant for that. West Ham under potter is a good fit for him. No doubt when he took over there they marked mads as a target. otherwise we might be scratching around to get 15m!
