Oh, boy. Quantum Sleep, as my mate used to call it

Please let this happen. Just for the fewm if nothing else.

Just to echo Rayvin’s sentiments, the best of luck, mate. I know from experience it’s not a very nice state of affairs. Have you considered a career in sports journalism though?

But in Italy the south is the north

If it’s so fucking cushy on the dole, give it a go.

A man must have a code

Will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark? I assume this is the answer a question with an irrelevant question thread

I wonder if there’s a Tonali-sized deal with Saudia incoming

Alreet, Jordan

Is this information germane?

I don’t like to be knee jerk and I know foreign players can take a while to settle. But I’m not sure why we signed him / what he brings. We’re better when Longstaff plays and I suspect the same applies to a fit again Willock. I know we might look to play a different way in terms of formation. But Howe hasn’t shown much indication of wanting to do that

I was not happy

I remember when Keegan walked under Ashley. Anyway I was working in Belfast and then was travelling home and had my phone in flight mode. When I checked it I had a text off my mate about how Wise had been sacked and Keegan was reinstated with a transfer war chest etc. Then at the end it was Carlsberg don’t do text messages… I was fucking seething the stupid fucking cunt. It was still raw as it was only about two days after the event. We’re still mates btw

And then you have his devotees

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if his lass didn’t know about it

Yeah but he thinks he’s voice of restraint and reason. He really isn’t

You can knock Audi drivers but I’d like to see you drive and put makeup on and text at the same time. And then there’s the women ones

Not that Johnson was any more fit but it further highlights how unfit to govern he was. He’d have been rightly taken to the cleaners over so many things. You can just imagine him putting his foot in it left, right and centre when matters got serious. I don’t think he does things with bad intentions but even here (despite what he might think he’s doing) he’s basically poking the hornets’ nest from a position where it doesn’t really effect him

Aye. He doesn’t fucking mind taking our money and presenting Family Fortunes though, does he?

The other thing is, if Israel promises they can go back (and they are sincere) it’s the practicalities of proving you’re allowed back on one hand. Then what you are actually going back to if you get home.

They won’t want to (or be seen to) potentially harbouring Hamas either. But aye, if most of Gaza is displaced will the Palestinians ever be allowed back?

I’d be disappointed if we couldn’t find far better value overseas, if we’re looking for a specialist no. 6.

The LTA Jaysus unintentional seal of approval

When you look at what’s happened since the initial attack, in terms of reports coming out of Israel, there a huge amount of anger re: the government. Whether they’ve been complicit in allowing this to happen or just incompetent is difficult to say. But in terms of the immediate response (like the people hiding in a Kibbutz for hours as Hamas hunted people down with no help coming to give one example) there is certainly a lot they need to answer to. There seems to be a lot of Israeli anger and fear amongst the general population over the military response too. It seems to be condemning the hostages to certain death. Of course there are no easy answers as to why this was able to happen but complacency to the point of gross negligence seems to the ‘best’ the Israeli government can plead

Yeah. Daily newspapers dedicated to sport but about 90% of that is football so they need to fill the pages somehow. But I guess we’ll find out soon as the process here seems to have been really quick here.
