Of course he can pour fuel onto the fire that’s already burning best to just let things calm down a bit trump has already said hes welcome back when he’s ready to talk peace! trump wants the minerals in Ukraine away from the four oblasts already under Russian occupation. I reckon trump will try and make a deal with Russia over those. This is also about trying to separate Russia from china’s grasp. Trump sees that as a bigger threat to americas global position - he only cares for what he can get out of ukraine in a deal.

I disagree Nothing good will come from it imo hopefully he will just keep repeating how grateful he is for the support of the USA and not allow the host to push him into more responses that will upset trump.

Doubt that will happen

After Vance had finished his ‘speech’, zelensky should have nodded and the public conference would have been over then the shouting could have happened behind closed doors trump and Vance pushed him and he fell into their trap trump wants their minerals because the alternative is that putin gets them - it’s that simple

Very but the future of his country is at stake - that’s the reality. Whether we like it or not - whether it’s right or wrong - he needed to have the argument in private. There was a point where he needed to step back and he kept digging - I appreciate he was 100% entitled to state the truth but he just empowered the two nobheads to carry on hitting him. ‘not in front of the children !! ‘

Zelensky showing his inexperience - especially up against a character like trump he should have held his tongue and said that things needed to be discussed in private never wash your dirty linen in public

He looked ok under cooper when he was tasked with being responsible for creativity. Since BEK now has that role, FB looks lost when he plays. Pick one of them but not both cos it clearly doesn’t work

I need to hibernate again ………..

My assumption is that trump is going to try and manipulate the U.K. as a means to influencing what the eu does. The EU is a large issue for him and we are but a large pimple. is he going to force us into choosing between the states and europe? if we avoid tarrifs and the EU doesn’t (presumably with reciprocity), how will that play out - especially in Ireland. It’s intriguing.

Just you …….

Which kids ? this is just like two seasons ago under rodgers no intensity - just jogging around the pitch are they actually fit?

Will a defeat by less than three be a step forwards ?

You’re still being way too happy ! (used to love working there - not the journey in and out though! )

Do you see the issue here ??

Couldn’t you have just gone on a march or made a placard ! At the risk of opening a can of worms, voting leave in 2016 wasn’t a terrible thing to do per se- just terrible timing. In 2030 it might have been great timing. ah well - it got rid of Cameron and Osborne. Some will see it as worthwhile for that alone.

Knew he was PSC but like you say, until nov we won’t have a handle on how much of the club is owned by different parties and even then it may not be clear

Is none of the shareholding owned by KP any longer ?

i think you know he has chickens and no cows

Everything is a deal with the USA’s self interest front and centre. (And of course his too) his apparent empathy (when it’s offered) is likely just a means to an end But he’s the most powerful man in the world for the next 4 years so we have to deal with that reality and try to make the downsides as limited as possible and any upsides as positive as they can be. I still want to see someone actually call his bluff and stick to their position to see what happens.

Assuming it was an impact whack to the knee then agreed. (Unless there is a small break somewhere which would be v unlucky for him and not relevant to him being injury prone) presumably if there is no scan planned then they aren’t overly concerned.

Agree then we can see some of the kids

much better but I’m very concerned what you might be taking and mixing !

Seems dodgy to me £62m for us across 30 pros ? We know we have a fair chunk of players on £4m. Must be higher than that. and Liverpool - £128m? must be way higher than that. if you take the numbers as being reasonable in their relation to each other then villa in 7th place would be a couple of average seasons away from trouble without more deals like they just did for Duran.

Would it be the one considered a ‘fit and proper person’ ?

I’m not having Vance as a better option - sorry but we’re better off with the nutter who has done it before than the nutter who is just an inexperienced nutter.
