Apparently Man Utd have gone back to Brentford with an improved bid of £60m for Bryan

Well, the article says they were violent and I heard on the radio they had caused millions of pounds of damage? I'm not necessarily believing this or defending them being put on the banned list. But what I would say is why were they targeting the RAF? Have the RAF been bombing Gaza? There's ways of protesting without making yourselves a national security threat. I also simply don't accept the UK is culpable for the horrendous situation in Gaza. Realistically, what can the government do? I guess be more condemnatory but honestly don't see that doing any good.

They hit a hospital a few days back. Iranian strikes already killed 24 Israelis and injured many more. It’s something they are used to. My family have all cowered in shelters over the years at various times. Air raid sirens are common in Israel, particularly in Haifa in the north, which has been targeted by Hezbollah rockets, and the desert area east of Gaza, where Hamas used to fire its rockets into. I have family in both areas. You’re right that Iran will suffer far greater casualties. They don’t have an iron dome defence system and Israel took out a lot of its antiaircraft defences.

They don’t want their strikers bombing forward for sure.

Is he playing golf?

Then he sees geordie shore and joins Chelsea instead.

Hasn't iran qualified for the WC in USA next year?

I really hope your family are going to be ok man - for what it's worth I don't think there's really any chance of serious casualties on the Israeli side, I was reading that the Iranian long range capabilities have been largely knocked out now - besides which they don't seem to be going for civilian targets. Hopefully everyone backs down since it looks like America achieved what they wanted. It's more the West I'm concerned about at this point, we've shown time and time again how untrustworthy and cynical we are - many lives in Trump's hands.

Israel has played a terrible hand in this. They’re the aggressor in this case. Netanyahu only managed to cling to power, after several elections failed to produce a governing majority., by forming a coalition of all the worst fringe politicians in the country. Imagine if we were governed by Reform and the English Defence League. It’s that bad. Worse actually because he’s got the religious fundamentalists propping him up too - and they really do believe in a one state solution, ethnic cleansing in other words. These nutters do not speak for the majority of Israelis, just as the Iranian regime don’t speak for all Iranians. My family in Israel are going through hell. My cousin recently had to undergo chemotherapy in an air raid shelter.

Iran is indicating that it has returned fire with an equal number of missiles to the US attack they suffered, and that they chose targets out of the way of civilian areas, and indeed warned the bases of the strikes. Nice to see at least one of these nations acting with some restraint. Shame there aren't more adults in the room though - Trump will hit them either way.

this. The international rules-based order has collapsed. The UN no longer serves any purpose, nor seemingly does the US constitution.

Ballistic sorry

Just the basic ones? They’re expecting to fire at US bases in UAE too. Not going to end well for anyone, this.

Must have missed the cross from Livramento to Isak and the general direction the club has gone in recent years despite all efforts to make things as impossible as possible for Newcastle. I will keep my mouth shut…

Iran firing basic missiles at empty US bases in Qatar. Another oil war. Great.

Completely agree, this is the true damage caused by the US's descent into Trumpism. The rules based order wasn't always effective and I can complete accept to many it was a sham. But now it's gone it's going to be survival of the fittest out there is we can't dial it in. I think for most people this is by far the most dangerous age we've lived in post ww2. You knew where you were with the soviet union and MAD back in the day. We're in a much more unstable place now with Putin, Trump, the rise of China, Taiwan, carnage in the Middle.Eat, India, Pakistan etc. And at the same time our own stature has been degraded.

What They brought us a cup? I Think you might find that it was Eddie and his well-trained bunch of lads Halt die Klappe auch mate

He's probably seen those pics of Trippier partying and thinks it will be wall to wall clunge

I was speaking relatively. Other than Ukraine and the Middle East, Pakistan and India were flying hundreds of planes at each other about a month ago and who knows how long till China decides to test out it's capabilities on Taiwan. For the most part we've seen proxy wars, insurgencies and terrorism in the last few decades. The US and allies bombing countries that had little ability to defend themselves. We've now got far right nut jobs in charge across the world and whatever semblance of moral, stable US leadership/hegemony is evaporating fast. The thinking clear across so many recent incidents and escalations now is if you want something and think you can get if off the smaller/weaker guy, do it. To hell with international law, UN charters etc.

That Scalvini lad hasn't played at all in 24/25 due to injury.

Aged well.
