I think a fair few are thinking that the squad he’s going to have next season playing the way he wants to play is not likely to work out well. if he was able to recruit the technical level of players required then he’d be more than fine. Infact, without a points deduction I’d be inclined to see a top half finish but we know we can’t spend to do that and the chances of managing it on frees and unknowns is slim at best. his stock is high now if Chelsea are really interested then he’d be nuts to stay here in preference to having their squad for his tactical plans.

Perhaps kompany would be a good choice for them

Doubt that grealish and madders will surely make the 30 and rashford is one of his ‘go to boys’

Is that just your opinion ? apparently no Henderson or sterling

Who cares ? Should posts about kel now go into the ‘they used to play for us’ thread! (Although technically he remains our player till end June)

I note the EU and usa offered its deepest sympathies and the Un sec council stood for a minutes silence. Diplomatically the UN thing would be tricky to get through but were the public declarations necessary?

The ICC warrants (they aren’t arrest warrants yet) are quite interesting. Israel is not a signatory. Palestine is a signatory. (Despite not being a state). Both netenyahu/ gallant and the Hamas leaders are obviously incredulous. From what I’ve read, the charges against the Israelis are more to do with the collective punishment angle of the denial of basic human rights to the civilian population. (Water, food, electricity) . The charges against Hamas are more related to murder, rape and kidnap. I am thinking that it’s possible the court rejects the Israeli warrants being issued on legal basis. they could also do the same with the Hamas ones on the basis that they shouldn’t be a signatory to the ICC as they aren’t a state. it all looks as much politics as anything else. And the war rolls on. As mentioned earlier, these actions would seem more likely to extend it.

Not a very large selection I’d say you needed more than ten to be at all slightly suspicious

I don’t think Harry would be soutted by the Saudi climate !

Surely this will only make extension of the conflict more likely ? you would think that this would be better done after the war has ended

Few too many injuries given our restrictions on money going out ??

Still uneasy with copter crashes I’m sure other sm chat forums are full of memes and puns but thankfully not on here

Have we discussed this issue recently ? i thought I’d present two perspectives…. https://www.outsports.com/2024/5/19/24094170/oregon-trans-teen-aayden-gallagher-wins-state-200-meter-title-also-wins-a-silver-medal/ https://www.foxnews.com/sports/transgender-high-school-runner-oregon-hears-boos-crowd-winning-girls-200-meter-state-title.amp

More joined up thinking at the club then ….. you’d hope it was more a splash paint effect once it’s actually visible

Khameni is currently supreme leader raisi was favourite to succeed him if he’s dead then who is likely to be the next supreme leader? I believe it’s khameni’s son

How do you find stuff like that ?

If he has perished, who is next off the taxi rank ? I mean as khameni’s successor

Surprised?

Did he sign a new deal ? If not then he wouldn’t have got a salary increase of any note

Already spent on rudkin’s promotion bonus !

Picked a good time for it then ……… will be back at the same time as the internationals that get knocked out after the group stages

could be your best post ever 😂

Saving on parachute payments next season means that each PL club receives an additional £5m above expectation

No comment to be fair, I suspect they can’t get Palestinian journos into rafah as it’s an active zone and the area on the Egyptian side of the border is a restricted military zone. Most of the stuff in the media nowadays has to come with video or photos
