Yes. Leads to great demand for the American defence industry.

And the Kurds.

We're completely devoid of any kind of spirit or spark, struggling to match the poorer teams in the division. It'll be utterly insane to carry on without changing anything and hoping to survive.

The only reason I can think of why Ashely is still persisting with Pardew, aside from the fact he's a dollar eyed fat prick who loves to torture us, is that he's ready to provide him with significant backing for the January transfer window. Because its painfully obvious to any idiot by know that we're lacking horribly in so many areas.

This.

Right where we drop the bombs at.

Aye, Afghanistan is a completely different scenario. They've been at it for centuries. Warlords provide all the organised rule there is in many parts.

In case someone's bored and in the mood for a long read, here's a very detailed, but mostly interesting, article on why the western model of prosperity is failing in modern developing world. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/14/-sp-western-model-broken-pankaj-mishra

The toys the Americans have provided them with means they can wreck havoc in war torn places like Syria or Iraq. Not a chance in hell of them going up against Europe or Iran. Not unless Obama decides to gift them a few war planes and advanced warships too. You'd have to have very poor general knowledge to buy into this fallacy.

Keep addressing the symptoms while the disease keeps springing up anew ever so often. Not that they dont know this. It suits them. War keeps the American machinery rolling. There has to be a threat.

Its the same old Uncle Sam logic. 'You're either with us, or against us".

Ok

I was hoping it might encourage someone to buy us off him, but then again its also likely to increase his reasons for holding on and pushing the asking price higher.

Right around the corner from the places they live in.

Nice to see you've finally caught up.

So they're not handing it out to someone fighting meaningless wars and/or supporting genocide this time around? Sad.

Not surprising at all. Unpardewed.

Has Rooney ever scored 30 in the league? The most recent person who's done that is Suarez and how much has he gone for?

Proven 30 goal a season premiership striker? 70-80M.

It might in the short term. Enough to stave off relegation anyway. In the long term, I agree with you. This point has been raised many times before. When in the hell did Ashley start caring about the long term future of the club though? I think we'll probably sign a CB and a striker, nothing proven or pricey though.

12 months? More like 12 years ffs.

Dummet is alright but the thing with Haidara is there's a chance he could be very good. If he played for a club that had proper coaches anyway.
