Yep, bought well in 2014 and 2015 drawing on Koeman’s gravitas, 2016 Les Reed thought he’d reinvent football and a failed takeover followed.

Has to be to do with the 30th anniversary next year, but it’s slightly wearisome that it keeps on dragged up and rehashed. Diana wrote her own books. Harry is probably got a contract lined up for next summer to directly tie in with 30 years.

On the second sentence, no pun intended, he does have a sentence. His coverage under the Refugee Convention is limited now by this offence and sentence. The policy tools are there, it’s up to the judge/tribunal by the time he gets out to finish off the job, I’m sure his brief will do the whole ‘South Sudan is awful, he’s seen people decapitated etc etc, dangerous’, ‘the smuggling gangs coerced him to drive the raft’ but we know that’s BS, a 19 year old lad driving a wreck without an MOT, driving licence, and ten passengers crammed illegally in it would have the book thrown at him by our cops, and it’s no different. In fact, it’s far worse given the risks and volume of people involved. If the tribunal or judge fuck it up later on then they deserve the pile on they’ll no doubt receive. I don’t want to see him here after his sentence.

Probably right, although very unimpressed with Domingo. Shit squad but there were other shit squads this season but those counties looked like they had a bit of a plan and some individual coaching to mask shortcomings. Can’t see the side being competitive in any competition for a good few years.

Good stuff, deport him on the day on the sentence ending and permanent ban. Dozens could have been killed, his age or what he saw in Sudan is irrelevant. Worst of all are the smugglers. Blatantly don’t care about any of the people crammed onto those inflatables.

Needs to be a huge clear out - majority of the squad and batters bar Lehmann, possibly Gubbins. Weatherley and Albert are ok for white ball contracts. New skipper, new Head Coach, new DoC. Board needs a major overhaul as well.

Yes, I remember that. Can’t remember if that was when he was at Carlisle or had moved to Palace by then. Pity about that motorbike accident. Doubt if they’d be allowed to by insurance and contract clauses these days. Tore Andre Flo saga as well.

Mine was Saints Teamtalk as well - was 1996 and Souness manager when he signed a lot of players so it was in overdrive! Not sure we ever signed a player that they linked us with though. Kept on getting linked with a forward called Romeo Van Wouderen or similar from Heerenveen. Wish we’d signed Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink later on just to hear Dave Merrington pronounce it.

57 - that’s no age. Unexpected from the sounds of it. Poor Kevin and his family and friends.

Not that much until Donny gets even more disabled by the mid-terms. Although the Bens are crazed fanatics, I don’t think they’ll go for Turkey, it’ll be Iran and proxies.

Bit of context for others about growing Israel/Turkey tension (another example of the Mad Bens alienating another long-time ally) which centres on although not exclusively about Syria https://nationalinterest.org/blog/middle-east-watch/are-turkey-and-israel-heading-toward-confrontation

I-ran, as the Americans pronounce it.

Edited for accuracy. Although tbf his mum could be one of the flag-holding grannies the other side of the bridge on that clip. No income for local dental practices either way.

Some good news for the future @Farmer Saint https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjwyzrr9d3dko About time the UK gave up all the special relationship BS. Trump finished it and it wasn’t in the best nick anyway. Who wants to align with Russia, America and Israel as a bloc? Horrific countries.

Be careful that the old bill don’t force you into the away end v Pompey!
