Attacks do happen most days and leave their mental or physical marks sadly. As I say you can't life your life in fear of it though. 

 

But sorry but I don't understand how the response to someone going about their daily life being attacked, is to strike fear and damage to property or people also going about their daily lives. People who had nothing to do with the original incident. Like you I'm not surprised because we live in a country moronic idiots. None of this takes away the concern I now feel for a family member living through this chaos, a concern that wasn't there when a lone lunatic was arrested after stabbing someone.

As I've said previously, there's far more white on white or black on black crime, but that's so commonplace it's not newsworthy.

I have friends who are Christians (Baptist) who refuse to watch it and will never accept it as a parody. 

 

Religion really narrows minds.

I'm Christian and I think it's hilarious.

But then, we're all different.

This could be huge for us. We may have lawsuits aimed at us from championship clubs but….. we have one of the biggest claims of missed champions league football for 2 seasons. This is going to be incredibly messy and I’m shocked this door has been opened. 
 

I don’t think a single club should be sued…. I think the league should be for allowing it but seeing as the league get their money from every club that would be a little unfair 

Because Man City breached the rules?

He was very smug, a Southampton fan, and almost definitely trousered a bit from dodgy deals around the COVID pandemic but I weirdly think Sunak would have been perfectly okay in "normal" circumstances – by the time he got in he was on a hiding to nothing after the previous trio of gimps had basically ruined the country. 

Yeah, and May wasn't bad, she just took the reins when Brexit was happening, did it in a fairly "soft" way, when people who had voted for it wanted it hard (as well as leaving Europe )

Schmeichel 

Elliott

Morgan 

Huth

Ricardo 

Kante

Izzet

Tielemans

Fuchs

Mahrez 

Vardy 

 

Started off pretty easy but couldn't think of anyone decent to play left wing so ended up going with 3 centre backs and using wing backs but ended up with Mahrez playing up top or just behind Vardy. Could have used Guppy or Barnes but would have meant dropping Vardy which I just couldn't do. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would drop Elliott and bring in Okazaki, allowing Mahrez to go out on the wing, but as you say, makes an unbalanced team on the left wing, though you could go with Steve Corica who played right wing for us sometimes and stick Mahrez out left as a left footer. 

While Elliott is a Leicester great, I think the space that Shinji used to create for Vardy is very much under appreciated by some. Also, though he played for Scotland, Elliott was very much English.

No Faes or Vestergaard?

Didn't know where to put this, as it's so random. If anyone plays Pikmin Bloom, you can go for a walk with Okasaki 😂

 

Shinji is involved in management you say?

When Americans say "the western hemisphere" I think they generally mean the Americas and the Carribbean, what we in Europe used to call "the new world".

Yeah, there's always a problem with East/West, it depends on your viewpoint unlike north and south, which remains constant.

Assuming the East coast of USA is the Eastern edge of the "western hemisphere", then China and a huge chunk of Russia are in it.

Cuba was always a communist outpost I guess but also there were many of them dotted around.

 

Right now the issue is that Marco Rubio is Secretary of State and national security advisor, and his parents got kicked out of Cuba back in the day, so he’s using his opportunity as a final form of revenge. And ultimately nobody is going to defend Cuba. Russia can’t and isn’t even communist these days anyway and China just aren’t either. In 1962 the Soviet Union needed Cuba so they could stick nukes there to keep America in check. Ballistic submarines means they don’t need that now. So what you’re seeing with both Cuba and Venezuela is one man’s personal motivation to kick all ‘anti-American’ regimes out of the western hemisphere once and for all. 

I get all that - still doesn't make sense.

As a side point, where is the line that divides the West/East hemisphere? My guess it's actually more accurately a tertisphere.

As a Canadian, we go to Cuba by the masses and no chance am I on a watchlist. If I am, I dont care because I won't be going to the states while they are run by psychos. I don't give a shit if I ever go there again. 0 plans for it!

 

I don't agree with how the country is run but the people are so lovely. I think with the Castros basically gone and the current knob in place its only time before Cubans rise up especially with the US actions of starving the people.

The people are unlikely to rise up because America's blockade is indiscriminate and weakens them as much as their masters.

It probably is an act of war, but the problem is that they are powerful enough at the moment that they can seemingly get away with throwing their weight around as they like. 

 

Hopefully one day soon that will change. No nation state should have that kind of relative power. 

I'm just totally baffled how a massive country can feel threatened by an island smaller than most of its 50 states.

I just Googled it, and you could fit Cuba into the USA 89 times. I'm probably on some CIA watchlist now.

Just watching an ITV report from Cuba.

Should the blockade of Cuba be considered an act of war? It's certainly hostile.

Just because you don't agree with a governmental system doesn't give you the right to do what the USA are doing.

Is a dove just a white/albino pigeon?

 

We've been plagued with the feckers recently. I wouldn't want to see a dove cry, but a pigeon... 

No. A dove is a dove, a pigeon is a pigeon.

Either way, if they're white, they're not wild and someone has a pigeon loft nearby.

Edit: or possibly a dovecote.

That race was just a farce.

And how is your wife?

Equating D-Day to immigration is just scummy and it also dishonours the soldiers who fought, in many respects, for people to be able to have some agency in their lives.

This kind of journalism annoys me, yet we get it all the time.

Clarke has 'some decisions to make' - but what are they? 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/czrxg1306lro

Decisions to make? Really? You mean he doesn't just randomly select 11 players and tell them to just go out and enjoy themselves?

I wonder how many time we'll be told that managers have decisions to make through the World Cup.
