This is Trump's real entry to the big league. I genuinely think this emboldens him and he'll soon land troops on Greenland. Iraq will incur a refugee crisis upon its neighbours and Western Europe the likes of which we'll have never seen before... don't have kids but I feel very sorry for all yours ..

He scored five.

It had democracy and a secular president/society until 1953 when us and the yanks sponsored a coup to install the Shah into power, all to protect Britain's interests in the Iranian oilfields. The Shah of course was another despot, eventually deposed and the nutters in charge. There's no real unified opposition in Iran, if the mullah's lose power there'll be years of carnage, Persians (a slight majority) v Arabs v Kurds v a couple of other major factions I can't recall. Another shit show begins, Netanyahu has played Trump like a fiddle.

Timo would have had him in his back pocket anyways

I don’t think this is the trigger for world war. That hangs on Trump’s reaction to China invading Taiwan. And why wouldn’t they? The international rules-based order has collapsed. Everyone else is at it. Glad to see we’re staying out of it for now. It looks like they didn’t use Diego Garcia last night.

In a nutshell

£35m for Quansah? Botman must be worth £75m then even crippled

A There is no doubting his quality but he hasn’t had a good season. He should be nowhere near the Player of the Year awards.

Bruno Fernandes scored 2 non-penalty goals in the league this season apparently.

Probably the most Newcastle-esque way in which to become the club with the world's richest owners. To think what the ambition was when they arrived, whilst the improvement has been stark on the field (down to Ed and his team), the off field stuff seems to be a continuation of the merry go round we've had since SJH left.

Went to breakfast this morning. Wife asked for a Latte. Got told it would be charged to the room. I laughed poor young lass didn't know what to do. I had a chat with her about her day etc. Come to check out got asked if we enjoyed the stays etc. told them it was lovely until I was told I would be charged for a Latte. I thought spending £360 for the night would cover a Latte. It's a canny place the bar is really cool. We shall be back but in winter.i bet it's stunning in winter.

Probably should have worn more. 😎

Good luck mate whatever you do. Moving house is a massive upheaval. Done it 5 times myself, fucked myself financially in the process through fees, moving costs and taxes. Could have all been avoided if I had pushed myself and bought the right house first or second time!

heading towards a year since eales announced he was on his way out and its all been a bit messy at the top leading up to and since then. public bickering with man utd over ashworth and compensation. staveley and her chap fucking off. psr deadline day deals last june. the complete and unmitigated waste of time shitshow in the appointment of his old mate mitchell and subsequent departure. the continuous new stadium/extension announcement seemingly cracking perpetual motion, just when you think its coming to an end it carries on. the neverending search for the site of the new £200m training ground... aka, give darsley park a new lick of paint again. an inability to increase commercial revenue with sponsorship for stadium/training ground/kit/shearer's bar/pitch lawnmower etc etc. his own replacement mitchell's replacement. howe has held it altogether.. the cup win was tremendous and long, long overdue, 70 years seemingly defying the laws of average. the league season and ultimately CL qualification? I personally thought we were very, very fortunate and not just due to ours and aston villa's last game of the season or the inclusion of an extra qualifying place. we equalled 22/23s 5 losses with the same just at home against 3 bottom half clubs and 2 just above midtable. some of our away performances, think in particular fulham, brentford, man city, villa were fucking horrendous. we looked like a team on its last legs at times i thought despite not having any midweek european games. that's not a criticism of howe or the players, more the knock on effect of 3 barren transfer windows. they've got a lot of work to do in the next couple of months, here's hoping then, because i don't think we can afford another anti climax.

Bone spurs is an acceptable excuse according to a certain US president.

Hard to know what will happen. Iran is going to "rediscover democracy" if it retaliates, so you could potentially argue that the US involvement may be the quickest path to an ending because its hard to see what they can actually do against the US. They can just be bombed into submission since they have no air cover. Trump will never put boots on the ground but he doesn't have to. Iran and the middle east should just accept that Israel can slaughter them whenever it wants and make peace with it tbh, I dont see what else they can do.

U ok, Hun?

Interesting point, Szoboszlai. Really Magyar think.

My mate moved to Perth and he was at the football a few days ago and he sat there in a scarf and hat. It was fucking 14 degrees 😂

I wonder when my draft letter will be showing up. I also wonder how easy it is to fake a disability to get out of it.

Just back from a few days in Sydney, aussie mates complaining about the cold when it hit 20 degrees one day Lovely city which I've never been to before, great food start to finish.
