It's going to blow your mind if you ever look up what the population of Afghanistan believe. Funnily enough they tend to be a weeny more bit strict than the UK population on things like the death penalty and when it should be applied, and how people should live their live across other aspects of Sharia/Islamic law. The Taliban are taking a country back to the dark ages, but they all have strolled in because enough of the people are behind them, versus the westernised alternative. That's kinda why the Taliban haven't taken over here - not really got that popular foothold in the UK, what with Ant and Dec and social freedom and the permissive society and everything. It's awfully cute that people on this forum getting upset about this one that just happens to be in the news today, especially when all I see is the riding of two horses = its all our fault, why does the West meddle and interfere and also why doesn't the west get in there and sort it all out and never leave. I've never read so much fucking humbug.

You're the one saying gibe all our money to Afghanistan for infinity because it's, like, all our fault. So I don't think you get to play that card. Of course we should be giving aid.

I see "Lack of empathy" in an airfield full of Afghan people trying to jump on planes and do a runner and every single fucking one of them is a man. What about the empathy of the Afghanistan army to protect their people, or the President who had it away on his toes? The Taliban haven't conquered, they've fucking walked in. Where is the leadership there, where's the empathy? Anyway: you think we should divert £18bn a year to operations in Afghanistan to demonstrate our empathy? Rightho. What about Syria? How much do they get? What about Somalia? What about, you know, being that it is UK exchequer money, the millions of children living in poverty in this country? Or is that not your kind of empathy?

"Spot on" is now a post that complains we have "wasted £40bn" on these operations and then in the very next sentence says that we should spend the "£350m a week" from Brexit on continuing them. So a waste of money, please spend more money. Clear. Not sure it can be described as "spot on", but knock yourself out.

But what you have written here is contrarian and whatabout whatabout whatabout. This is an over simplistic review of the situation based on the concept of "if only the USA did A and B then everything would be fine". The fact you are conflating it with the EU bill shows how little you understand any of the reality of the situation and are just scatter gunning targets of "things you don't like" and chucking ot all in together. You're blathering on about "staying and fight" but they haven't been "fighting". They've been training up the domestic army. Anyway, I don't really want to get involved in a conversation about Afghanistan on this forum, least if all with a repeated multiple login multiple forum personality nutjob. Why didn't Antrimsaint stay and fight?

"As soon as things go wrong" Jesus wept. Because we were fucking amazing since January, weren't we.

Er, except we would have been relegated under Pellegrino so something did improve. Hughes had a terrible start to that following season, but Hasenhuttl came in and turned the season around, and we finished 11th the following season. So there was improvement there, too. Managers still have a shelf life and its clear Hasenhuttl is reaching the end of his time here. So a change of manager could see an improvement, just like it did the last two times we changed manager.

I'd be absolutely delighted to see John Terry appointed once he has successfully taken Ipswich Town, or Queens Park Rangers or Nottingham Forest or Stoke City or Sunderland or someone like that into the Premier League.

And everyone remembers the sensational progress we made under Stuart Gray and Steve Wigley.

Should an improvement in central defence be signed, yes or no?

So to be clear, you now are saying we should buy an "improvement" on Salisu and Bednarek but that Salisu and Bednarek are fine for what we need as first choice. So you want us to sign an "improvement" but they shouldn't get selected ahead of your first choices. Crystal fucking clear.

But you are saying that those two are "fine" as first choice. So we only need to buy a back up centre back, according to you. Or are you going to pretend you did not say that, as is your usual style.

You think Bednarek in that team and we end up with a different outcome today? Jan Bednarek? The Bednarek that plays for us?

The season is basically going pan out as a series of "well, if we play like that 45 minutes for the rest of the season, we'll be fine". But we won't do that, and we won't be fine.

Desperately need some quality in at centre back, despite some thinking what we have is "fine for what we need". Leadership, organisation, a bit of steel. We're as soft as shit and going down as it stands.

Are you going to pretend you didn't say this?

Hesgoal was fine today. Apart from the game of course. That was dogshit.

Well, I always want my own team to win. Born and bred. Congratulations 👏 👏 👏 👏

Can you give us an update on how this post is going for you?

We're 2-1 down now Ralph. You now have permission to make a substitution.

Villa's march to the Champions League looks unstoppable, to be fair.

No I think we're home and dry, what with us being so good at holding on to leads.

Very good half of football for us. Livramento looking insane 👌 👌 👌 Let's see if we can string two good halves together for once.

Not a great game for Officially The World's Greatest Corner Taker so far.

Seems like a line up to make a bizarre point about 'look how big snd strong the squad is now' Look, our best two players from last season on the bench. Aren't we spoilt for choice.
