Would it even have been investigated and highlighted if any other company had produced it? I dunno. It’s because it is funded by the tax payer it has to uphold higher standards, and rightly so.

Politics over there is completely fucked. I don’t usually take much notice of it but had a look on X the other day and it’s polarised to the point where rational debate is just impossible. Trump could literally say anything and some people will support it because it’s their side, and vice-versa. It’s like the Brexit situation we had here but on steroids. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trumps whole stance on Ukraine is shaped by the fact that Biden supported Kiev. Whatever the Democrats thought and did has to be wrong, actual facts are irrelevant. I guess they have always had the two party thing over there but I expect the whole thing has been turned toxic by social media.

It wasn't just the managers though was it, wasn't he time he took over when Kat was looking to flog the club so we were already in decline, he certainly didn't have Cortese spaffing Marcus's money up the wall like it was going out of fashion, like Posh had. Football fans always get spoilt easily, when you are used to Van Dyke and Mane you are bound not to get excited by likes of Che Adams and Jack Stephens. Puel's football was boring as hell though which didn't help which is why when he got sacked I wasn't bothered even though I thought it was harsh.

Excellent job compared to two complete tossers you mean.

His problem was that he followed Poch and Koeman, the fans were spoilt.

I wonder if the sports finance rules are making a difference? The middle clubs seem to be catching up with the traditional Champions League sides which makes the gap between sides like us even bigger. Or could just be us that are shit and making it look worse.

How can VAR not see him holding him. Cheating cunts

So shit from Sugawara.

This, wasn’t a lot of contact but stupid thing to do.

I expect Russia launched the attack because they knew that without US intelligence it is harder for Ukraine to intercept them so would be more effective. Previously as soon as missiles or drones were launched the US would tell them where and when they would hit - so basically the US is actively aiding the killing of civilians in Ukraine. Trump clearly wants Russia to get the upper hand and take more land, that will force Ukraine to sign the deal for the minerals and make it easier for Trump to do a deal with Putin (if he has all of the Donbas regions he can claim a victory).

So the day after he criticised old rubber face they dig up some dirt and get him suspended.

Zelensky Is in an impossible situation, if he signs the minerals deal now he could end up with half a country, no security guarantees and it’s natural resources being exploited by both the US and Russia. It’s just a complete surrender and would set a dangerous precedent.

Think people might take you a bit more seriously if you didn’t post mental theories that you say involves a cover up from the ‘mainstream media’, then post a link from the BBC as some sort of evidence. Your theory is about as bat-shit crazy as the vaccine theories that were going around. Keep posting though because you are piss funny, I actually find it fascinating how people come to believe this shit.

But if the US allies with Russia surely a European Army would be vital to provide any similar sort of deterrent? NATO would be finished. There is no point a bunch of small countries all increasing spending and acting on their own.

European leaders are righty worried because at the moment NATO is a massive deterrent, if that collapses and the US cut and run there is not a lot to deter Russia. Doesn’t mean they think we would lose, more that something is much more likely to start, and no one wants that.

Depends what you mean by beat. You would have to say a committed Europe should easily be able to stop Russia invading. They are three years into a war with Ukraine and still haven’t been able to take Kharkiv which is about as close to the Russian border as Southampton is to Portsmouth. If you have been watching the recent footage you would have noticed that much of their forces now look very different from a year or so ago. You have conscripts turning up in Ladas and things that look like they have been put together by the A Team. The problem Europe has is the rate at which Russia could re-arm after a cease fire and the fact that they are run by a nut case who happily sends thousands of his own men into a meat-grinder. That is an obvious threat.

The NATO expansion argument is just bollocks, the only reason countries such as Estonia have not already been invaded is because they are part of NATO. NATO countries are not a threat to Russia, they are just in the way of their imperialist intentions. This bellend talks about NATO expansion like they are invading countries, it’s just free democratic countries choosing to be part of a defensive organisation. Who are we to deny them that right?

What, you prefer the Albanians to stay?

Or Russia are emboldened by The US pulling support for Ukraine and see an opportunity to complete what they started. Quick ceasefire, build up their forces again and complete phase two.

Zelensky Didn’t handle it well but it looked like a planned ambush to me. So sad watching such a strong statesman to get yelled at by a demented fascist toddler. And the guy is at war, trying to save his country’s existence and some yank cunt asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. It’s hard to believe what you are watching.

Just a whole bunch of Championship players, only Ramsdale, Fernandes and KWP are Prem quality out of that lot. There is a desperate need for a battling midfielder in there. I still think if managed right there could be a decent chance of challenging next season, need some new blood and a decent manager to give the club a shot in the arm though.

Dibling stopped bothering weeks ago, he can fuck off in the summer.

Why the fuck did Manning take a touch there? Shit cunt.

Manning has a chance to shoot and ends up setting up Chelsea - cunt.

Why doesn’t he go to a back 4 and play Aribo in his actual fucking position?
