Ex Lion Tamer

The basic problem always comes back to economics. In ireland, unrest and terrorism came from the poor areas where catholics were being treated badly. Now we have a situation where palestinians are being kept in abject poverty by the Israeli blockade and aren't allowed to build an economy. If people have more material comforts then it's easier to forget about religion, land and hatred and just enjoy life. The Israelis are terrified of having a strong Palestine on their borders, but the current situation will do nothing to stop the rockets being fired into their territory.

Yes

Israel's brute force is playing into Hamas' hands, international opinion is turning

He has bipolar disorder which is corrupting his brain and therefore his decisions. I think he's a good person at heart, as everyone who knew him in his younger days seems to emphasise. I don't blame him for the bad stuff because everything he does is a result of the mental illness, even when he has refused treatment (which is speculation on your part). Unfortunately I don't think he will ever get better, but he deserves sympathy because I don't think he is happy at all, no matter what he does to fight the depression, and probably never will be

He has serious mental health problems

Lol

By questioning my assertion, you yourself are making an assertion. It's amusing that you are unable to understand that

So neither of us has a valid opinion. Game over

Internment without trial only served to encourage terrorism http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-14458270

Because that worked really well with the IRA

Is there any evidence that they don't? I mean proper evidence, not just they don't speak the language. I'm also talking second generation, not current immigrants. We need much more racial mixing for the benefit of society a hundred years from now.

Walcott was considered to have poor decision making for a while, then he improved and is a quality player

A minority of extremist criminals aside, surely it is better to have people who understand the other side within our culture to moderate our behaviour and promote future good relations. And equally, we can moderate the majority of those who come to our country, thereby blurring the lines of any perceived Christian versus Muslim conflict

Why are they different?

Genuine question - why is Callum Mcmanaman not linked with us or anyone? Remember him being good

He's a talented young player who just needs to improve his decision making

Five central midfielders in that team

I personally think Wanyama is too defensive to play in front of three centre backs. In a 433 he will sit in with the defence and allow the full backs to push on

Although £12m is a lot, I think quite a few people are going to be surprised at how good he is

Could be, although it demonstrates that we could pay more if we wanted to

Maybe Koeman rates him? Maybe he plans to play two up front once he actually had two strikers? I find it very hard to believe he hasn't ok'd the transfer

Sky Sports just said that we've enquired about Shane Long

We got an excellent year out of Lovren and made a profit. Seems worth it to me, regardless of how it ended

My guess is that he was told he could leave, got excited about moving, and then the club went back on its word due to fan pressure
