Relieved Wright won that one, Plaiser scored well, but crying out loud he is difficult to look at.
-
Rashford is not what we need, but Arteta does like his pet projects.

Para 2, you are correct. I am stating that out of a sadly growing number of cases over the last 20 years or so, where children have been tortured and murdered( and lets face it most by their so called parents) I cannot think of one miscarriage of justice. Of course I am not saying it could never happen and I take your point that one mistake would be one too many. The courts could only sentence the death penalty in certain cases and where proof of guilt was incontrovertible. A mandatory appeal should result in the High Court ratifying or striking out that sentencing decision.
-
Not the category of murder that I am advocating the death sentence for, please read back my previous posts. I am also talking of contemporary cases where modern detection is more definitive.
-
Can you think of such a case where the guilt has not been ironclad, because I cannot?
-
There was absolute proof of guilt in this case and in similar cases such as Baby P and the other horrible case in the news the other day. Modern forensic methods such as analysis of mobile phone data, CCTV and DNA make prosecution of these cases so much easier than of yesteryear. I do agree that there should be no doubt as to a persons guilt if they were to receive such a sentence, but the torture and murder of a child is a really exceptional catatory of crime, which imo demands more than a chuck away the key approach.

Death by lethal injection, or hanging would not do their crimes justice. It would need to be something more medieval.

He happened to miss the most important one of his career so far. Granted it wasn't in the PL. 🤣

Very sad news, won’t be the same without his commentating.
-
Awful match overall, but that was an enjoyable last ten minutes. 🤣
-
Hoping for a few more “I can’t spake” moments from Wayne Mardle.

20 mins in and absolute tedium.

Absolute couple of psychopaths right there.

World Football Thread 2024/25

I didn't see the game of course, but rare to see a manager dig out a player in public the way Postecoglou did with Werner. Having said that I saw his first half stats, which were pretty atrocious. -
FIFA has been corrupt for years and it gained public attention for such under Platini and Blatter. As for your second sentence, yes it's called sport washing, exactly the reason why an odious regime such as the Saudis should not be awarded the world cup.

Just started The Agency on paramount (through Prime). Decent cast, Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright and Richard Gere. Anyone else watching it?
-
You can’t get more Trumpian than that. He has the concept of a plan?
-
I admire him as a player, so I really hope he doesn't go to Saudi.
-
So a bit like their last manager. 🤣
-
I would say he was super lucky to see any Everton team win 4-0. 🤣
-
I would n’t bet against Man City, but without Rodri and big players such as Foden in a slump, or De Bruyne too injury prone I can’t see it. Chelsea have clearly improved, but like Liverpool they have some really tough away fixtures left.
-
Spurs is a manager’s grave yard. How many of their ex managers go on to bigger and better things. Off the top of my head, Mourinhi is now in Turkey, Pochettino in charge of the US team and Villas-Boas who is still quite young has given management up entirely. 🤣🤣
-
4th, you having a bubble mate! I think it will be 2nd or 3rd, but if it's not 1st does it really matter that much? 🤣
-
I think Liverpool would have had more than enough to beat a pretty rank Everton team.
