Given that Iran has a lot of Chinese weapons and systems, does the past ten days make Taiwan a bit more secure ? seems that the missiles and drones are about all that have performed to a reasonable level (and tbh, vast majority of the missiles have been intercepted) The missiles and drones are not Chinese sourced.

3d chess ayew has dragged his marker up the pitch and left them defending 3x3 😄

Don’t see why not the fella may well have sorted out his accommodation for Tuesday night in Newcastle before travelling and maybe didn’t have any bags with him. Or maybe he was prepared to hang around the town and travel back the following morning. Some people, are very relaxed about stuff like this. He doesn’t seem like the sharpest tool in the box. arriving in London and putting ‘st James’ park’ into google maps would offer an Exeter option. I recall once staying at a Greek hotel where the owner told me that he had spent a day in Peterborough when he wanted to go to potters bar. That was in the days of just asking people rather than typing in destinations.

Half a clean sheet 😄

Can you post this in the post match thread ?

How many do we need to be sure of a win ?

What an assist 😂

Word was that the Iranians offered this last month. Could be that this was mis leaked and was an American demand which Iran had refused. Perhaps they’ll now take it to stay in control. If Putin has told trump he has Iranian agreement to this then maybe that’s what prompted the comments that it will soon be over. They being the 25% that support the regime rather than the 75% that don’t. trump will have let down all those he messaged ‘help is coming’ in January. Then the Iranian people can join the back of a long queue.

Well it will please his mate mad vlad. And that Venezuelan jaunt is even more rewarding now.

2 Chinese nationals killed by missile strike in central Israel I doubt the Chinese govt will be particularly bothered. They’ll continue to call for the aggression to end on all sides. Got me thinking - what would happen if two British civilians were killed in Dubai or Qatar or Kuwait ? presumably we’d just call in the Iranian ambassador and say we’re quite cross and would they please stop because it’s ‘just not cricket’ ???

Can’t disagree with that But they are striking so many targets that I can’t believe that they’ve done detailed due diligence on all of them.

The building was part of the naval base till 2016 when it was repurposed as a school building. I’m not accepting that the Americans would deliberately bomb a school. They are a lot of things but they aren’t that heinous. Likely cock up and outdated intelligence - hopefully not an example of AI being used unchecked.

There is a running joke in Israeli media that this guy is an Israeli spy. Basically he is continually avoiding being killed in strikes against Iranian military leadership. Someone created spoof social media accounts for him. I’m 99.9% sure that this is just another piss take.

Looking forward to this Dowman kid being old enough to play for England men.

Seems like verstappen will have a more competitive car than last season. Despite Mercedes obvious advantage, im intrigued as to how close he can make things hopefully the red bull will be reliable and allow him to compete for the title.

suffer ? Spending the next thirty years in solitary with tv, internet, video games, hot showers. Some people would pay for that ! anyway, past tense confirmed

On a lighter note, Huntley will soon be past tense 🤙

Opportunistic by the Israelis who have a chance to remove Iran from being an existential threat to them for decades to come (and perhaps forever though that relies on regime change which is extremely doubtful). an Iran which resembles modern day Iraq (ie. A political mess) wouldn’t be a bad outcome for Israel although obviously it would be for many Iranians. not clear what the Americans are after apart from geo political stuff re China/ energy supplies to Asia/ defence tech to rogue govts (the ones USA don’t like) . The Iranian regime is a loose cannon in their eyes. They can’t control them. But as in most things that trump does, he’s only thinking one step at a time and that’s likely to mean a very poor outcome for everyone (apart from Israel if Iran's military/missile capabilities are completely trashed)

Assuming we go down, will we have another internal investigation? of course the only people still in the same job are Top and rudders!.

Gerald ford left the eastern med and now in the Red Sea (and probably en route to the gulf). this backs up the noise from centcom that the Iranian missile threat is severely diminished. If they’ve decided that they don’t need to be in the eastern med then they’re not bluffing on that. A few pieces in the press that the Iranians have almost run out of launchers rather than missiles.

It’s just not fair how the other teams try really hard and run around a lot

Didn’t manage to put the members on sale at 5pm though ……

Saw a lot of stuff earlier in the week that the cia were responsible for the khamenei info that allowed him to be targeted be interesting to see if the Americans refer to the origin of the outdated intelligence (if that’s their excuse)

not sure how long it will take the Americans to come clean on the school bombing. The school was on the same site as an IRGC base, there is some chat about it actually being part of the base until 2016 when that building was re purposed. You’d assume that the intelligence was therefore outdated - I suppose the question then is whose intelligence were the Americans using. I wonder if some of the target sites are AI generated ??

What if I bump into Jennifer Anniston tomorrow evening ??. what if I win the lottery tonight ??? anything else more likely ???
