  1. That's not what his point was though. 

    It was merely stating the particular situation that could arise, and the potential intrigue that would result.

    I'm quite sure he'd wish for a bigger win for us, and a bigger defeat for Derby.

  2. Don't think anyone has twisted your words.

    The police have a duty of care to all, and the unfortunate copper there is faced with a really difficult situation. 

    It is a sad state of affairs when it comes to such situations though.

    I've gone slightly mad and just done a £5 bet builder:

    - Whites to win 5-0

    - Cambridge to win 1-0, Kachunga goal.

    Whether I'll be happier with going into the last game with a real chance of going up, or the £9.5k in my bank, who can say?

     

    Good luck!

    Edit - thinking about it i know how they'd do this. They'll set it as a "derbies" round, and chaff like Fulham v Brentford will be the earlier kick off first part of a double header culminating with Arsenal v Spurs.

    Newly promoted Bolton v yo-yo side Burnley as the appetiser for United v City at MetLife Stadium.

    You've gone a bit chemtrail!

    But we keep hearing how London is a multicultural safe city yet here we have a man being told to stay away from certain areas because he’s obviously a Jew. 
     

    As for the comparison  with the EDL, the EDL were painted as a violent group of larger lout racist football thugs, The Pro Palestine mob, so we are led to believe, are a group focusing on peace. Can you see the irony. 

    Certainly a huge irony.

    As for the copper himself, he is between the devil and the deep blue sea. He has an impossible situation on his hands, and it made sense at that moment to try to get the fella away. 

    The bigger picture however is very different, and Rowley seems to have emboldened the groups to behave in such a manner by the management of the marches.

     I’m not sure IE gets along with strong characters - hence the reason we’re bereft of hardmen & mentally strong players.

    Whilst we don't know what goes on amongst the group, it would perhaps be a bit naive to think everything is rosy all of the time. Just like in any workplace; people don't always get on with each other.

    Whether it's at such a level for the manager to behave in such a way, I'd have my doubts.

    Clearly he has favourites, as he has preferred methods, but that would be the case with most managers.

    Was this your idea or was it part of the 'interesting take on things' you heard ? 

    What does it matter?

    Hezbollah have an arsenal of 150,000 rockets.

    They've been using them pretty much daily since October 8th.

    Which in turn requires expensive air defence systems to be deployed frequently. 

    Disruption of this supply line would be of benefit. 

    I would sat it's not rocket science, but in reality it is.

    I note that strikes also took place in Syria, so maybe supply routes are a target?

    I note no regional debate on the subject, which is typical.

    Come on barring Sheehan and JDB the same team ripped Oxford 5-0 not long ago and we had Coleman in net

    quality was ample Tuesday it was a disappointing performance end of 

     

    I agree. 

    Maybe so many changes at once had an effect (whether it should have is a different matter).

    It's done now though, and nowt will change that, so onto next game.

    How did we get on against the shittest team in the league at home?

    Carlisle won here, and at Peterborough. 

    They lost by a single goal at Pompey and Barnsley.

    Hopefully they turn up and put a show on for their fans.

    That's like playing Kane in Centre Midfield. 

    Bellingham could play anywhere on the pitch he's that good. He plays no 10 for the biggest club on the planet and has been exceptional. 

    If Southgate had bothered to let some other CBs have a go we could afford to use Stones like he's often used for City.

    But no. We have pack our CDM with pivots to protect our weak as piss back line.

     

     

    No, it isn't. Not remotely.

    No coach at any level coaches to leave players unmarked on the edge of the penalty areas from corners. It’s lack of communication from the playing group and nothing to do with Evatt or coaches. Seems a stick to beat Evatt with, especially for those who’ve wanted him out for months… utterly ridiculous, he’s got his faults but the positives outweigh the negatives.   

    Pretty much my thoughts.

    He can be frustrating, but players also have to put their hands up to.

  12. An interesting take on things I heard: Iran needed to make a show as their proxies have taken a bit of a battering. A show of strength and who's in charge.

    Perhaps going for Iran directly wouldn’t be the best move, but to go for the supplies to the proxies. Maybe hit a ship or two carrying weapons to Yemen, or similar and try to divide the proxies from Iran.

    I’m not really hammering it. My average speed varies from 22-26 kph, so 2 hours ish, depending on wind and how fecked I’m  feeling. 
     

    My knees and ankles  are bolloxed from football so can’t run any sort of distance.
     

    But cycling doesn’t seem to bother them at all. 

    Used to get aches and pains deep inside them and across the top after a long ride. That was at around 15 years old.

    Physio lady reckons the caps aren't quite running along the grooves properly now- probably weren't then neither!

    He has not played central midfield once all season for Real Madrid.

    He has 2 or 3 players behind him in every singe game, Modric / Camavinga / Kroos / Tchouameni / Valverde.

     

     

    That maybe the case, but watching his England performances, for me his work off the ball has improved tremendously. 

    A more mature player now.

    If Southgate gets that out of him, and it allows us a slightly different approach (even as an alternative) then that's a good option. 

  15. I think Bellingham has developed recently and added more physicality to his game, and now provides the attacking threat, and a ball winning ability that gives us options to partner him with Rice.

    Well, it seems things are already starting to happen. Banning speeches and attendance at a conference by elected politicians from Europe is a very slippery slope.

    Especially since the mayor himself has a pretty dodgy record of meeting with unsavoury characters.

    I take it from your response, that you think it's all fine in a supposed decomcratic country?

    It was to take out the Quds Force commanders located in the consulate, who would have been involved in the planning of the terrorist attacks on 7th October

    Whether it was a wise thing to do is a different matter

    Not the first time they've carried out such moves.

    Going down is 1 thing, and most fans deep down get that its been coming, and is part on the game.

    But its the mess we are in off the field, and how bad the club has been run, that could send the club further down.

    Thats where the panic and fume and sometime OTT reaction is coming from.

     

    Been seeing a few articles, including some from an Everton fan site thing.

    Some serious concerns about stuff that has happened and still maybe happening, and the potential for yet more points deductions.

    If they were to go down, and get a hit next season, that would be grim.

    Mind you, there could be others getting hit too.

  19. I said earlier in the season that Everton had too much to get relegated- they were on a run of form at the time.

    Now I'm not so sure; lose om Saturday, and they're really in the mire.

    Gravel voice just been on saying a number of new injuries too.
