Lighthouse

At what point do you start calling this WW3, I wonder? If you include USA, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, UK, Azerbaijan, Sri Lanka, all the gulf states, Cyprus and the Kurds as all being involved one way or another, there's quite the Royal Rumble going on.

The clamps have really come off Villa's nipples too, two wins in nine league games. How are you guys liking my new metaphors?

West Ham winning and Forest drawing as it stands. If it was to stay like this Spurs, really would be dangling their b*llocks into the marmalade of relegation.

I vaguely remember Ralph being the only manager in English league history to win Manager of the Month for July. No idea if that's actually true but we were pretty mighty behind closed doors.

I don't know how often it has to be said but people got the hump with Puel because he played for 0-0s at home, including against crap teams, like Stoke, Hull, Bournemouth and Be'er Sheva. He went to Leicester and they were equally unimpressed, he hasn't been seen in England since and has also had the boot from St Etienne.

I'm no economist but surely the price is going up because they can deliver less of it? I can't imagine prices would be going up if they were able to deliver literally the same quantity.

If they did that we’d have finished last season on -93.

I just can't believe that a FIFA Peace Prize winner could be responsible for something like this.

Looks like Etihad are feeling brave 😟

Petrol stations are already getting ‘fun’. Get ready for the photos of people with jerrycans in the Daily Mail.

I wrote a full six minute song about Jeremy Pied, to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody, but when I sang it in the Itchen nobody joined in.

Iraqi - Since. No question. Saddam was bad enough but Uday was one of the most sick, twisted, depraved psychopaths ever to walk to Earth. A country run by that monster would simply not be worth living in.

The video from the Fairmont on Palm Jumeirah was quite chilling, I went there for dinner and drinks on West Palm Beach with some mates last time I was out there. It seems weird seeing a Shahed drone smacking into the side of it.

Anyway... Surely there's no backing out of this now, from either side. Iran have gone for the Armageddon option and basically retaliated against everyone in the region. UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, Bahrain, Iraq and Qatar have all copped a few today and I can't imagine they're too pleased about it, US bases or otherwise.
