Ha!! You've lost it mate.

Whereas your moral compass points in the opposite direction.

We don't, but assuming that some are, it's a valid point that they need aid.

Indeed. I'm staggered by the criticism of the lad for taking the money. No youngster will turn that down, and Chelsea will want a return on their investment so will use their loan system to give him exposure and experience.

Agreed. Mara isn't good enough (well he arguably could be, but he doesn't put then work in) but he's our only option through the middle when Adams is out, and until Stewart is ready to start. We've not got anyone good enough in the B or kids teams. As much as I feel for Dibling not getting any real opportunities, he's not a centre forward, and wouldn't be an Adams alternative even if he was first team ready.

I'm still struggling to finish my Espana 82. Never did get the last one in the book. Think it was the New Zealand reserve keeper and one other player. It's not all about the body fat. Aim for a metabolic age much less than your actual age.

Don't remember that! Is he 990 man, or scratching in the low hundreds?

I don't need to post pics of my lean physique on here Del. Eat clean, train, don't drink, it comes easy.

Pretty much, yes. Where they mattered today is that they ran themselves ragged pressing, and chasing the ball. O-O is the important stat.

Indeed. I think we'd have conceded less, but scored less. One reason we've gone 3 at the back will be because Baz ain't there to move the ball about, but that has nullified our attacking threat. On balance, I reckon we'd have been nudging Ipswich if we'd use McC all season, but it's speculation, and we are where we are.

He wasn't. Your post was. Great to have him out there.

Spot on. A hard fought 0-0 away from home, will do for me. I couldn't give a monkeys about the performance. Its completely in our own hands now.

Because until we went 352 at Leeds, we were shit. That system had stopped working for us. I thought the change of system was mental timing, but it worked, and changing it back cos Adams is out would be silly imo. The system picks itself, which means that Mara is a shoe in, not a a shoe horn.

It's him or nobody. Stewart clearly can't start. Not ideal, but RM can only use what he's been given.

15% body fat on a bad day pal.

We need a "you daft cunt" emoji for posts like this.

Circles again. You've got to be pretty dopey if you seriously expect the de facto military of Gaza to stand in the open like sitting ducks when they're being attacked by one of the worlds most powerful armies. Of course they'll hide where they can. Hamas should never have done what they did on 7/10. You type as if anyone has suggested otherwise. You also have this naive belief that handing back the hostages will end it. Will it bollox. I've posted up there recently something from a former Israeli diplomat stating that Israel don't want the war to end. That much has always been obvious. Israel shouldn't have oppressed the Palestinians and behaved as they did for years and years. Israel shouldn't be treating the Palestinian's in the west bank the way that they do, including banging them up without charge or investigation (much better than holding hostages?). Israel shouldn't have waded into Rafah. They shouldn't have levelled Gaza. They shouldn't be cutting off vital aid. Shouldn't be committing war crimes. Etc, etc. Hamas are cunts. Israel are cunts. Everyone on this thread condemn Hamas. Many don't condemn Israel. They're cunts too.

Where do you expect the Gaza army to hide in Gaza?! Another issue is Israel killing 30 people in a home where someone suspected of having Hamas links might be. Perfectly fine for Israel to arrest thousands of Palestinians and hold them without charge or investigation. We could go round in circles Hypo, but you've got tunnel vision mate.

No soldiers stand around in the open waiting to be shot at. None.

I agree with most of that, although I don't see an alternative to legal migration given our skills shortages. Inward migration is here to stay. On the last bit, I can't see labour doing anything of significance in this term, we're too fucked for that, and there's just not enough money or borrowing capacity. Next time round, the Tories will promise to cut taxes, the masses will like that idea, and there'll waltz straight back in.

Generally it seems to be ok to be okay (or ambivalent) with Israel's behaviour, but unacceptable/anti semitic to voice objection. Palestinian support In the wider world has historically been shouted down, but fortunately that's changing.

It is stunning. I'm a geology and geography geek so I was in my element. Highly recommended.

I fell asleep so missed them. Gutted. Missed them when I went to Iceland too. The photos look amazing. I'll have to get back to Iceland.
