He's nowhere near Championship standard

The one-dimensional obsession with dicking around with the ball in our 18 yard box resulting in us giving away the ball on our penalty spot week after week, and a manager refusing to back down from the same car crash game after game after game were far bigger factors.

Shame it never worked out for him here. I suspect Tonda would have got a lot out of him at Championship level, sadly he joined us at the wrong time

Was it true that Yvette Cooper actually condemned Iran for retaliating and urged them to stop doing so?

Until they find out what the Iraqis found out after Saddam was removed ie. what happens when a dictatorship falls. People want different things.

Indeed, not his fault who's in charge of the country of his birth, or that they have mandatory military service. Sadly it's not too dissimilar to the treatment that ordinary Russians/Belarussians got/what was deemed acceptable after what Putin did 4 years or so ago. When the boot was on the other foot we let the rot set in, now it's on our foot we as a country now seem to be wondering why we have a problem with anti-semitism

Who could have seen this coming Palestine Action ban ruled unlawful https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8x90q9nyzyt

A promising start from Larin and pleased for him. Put himself about and made out he could be a right handful for opposing defences, came across like a more mobile version of Tall Paul

Had very similar thoughts myself, it's certainly part of a wider societal issue. It's not those kids' fault that they were born with a smartphone in their hand but it is like some fundamental disconnection from the world they're in. I also wonder if they're the colloquial darlings the world didn't want to upset when they were young, so weren't shown things like the equivalent of the Valley Parade Disaster at school. (Lesson 1 in how fast fire can spread) There was also a promo of the bar doing the rounds on social media (may have been from October?) showing numerous people waving those champagne bottles/sparklers around. Whilst it's easy to be wise after the event you could see it was a disaster waiting to happen just looking at the building they were in.

Trump and Putin have been close friends for a very long time. With this latest development you can see the imperialist simularities in modus operandi. As for Venezuela, it's potentially an imminent humanitarian catastrophe. The old delusion that as soon as you remove the 'bad guy' everyone else will join hand in hand in unity. If only.

In Tonda's early games the midfield were picking the ball up and driving at the opposing team like their life depended on it, it put the opposition under all sorts of pressure. Now they seem to have gone back to the pointless short passes at the back which puts us under all sorts of self-inflicted pressure. The worst thing is what happens as a result of it so utterly predictable, because it is so easy to play against.

An interesting example of a failed attempt to 'weaponise and exploit antisemitism to pursue political agenda' that's worked it's way through the legal system. The judge's/legal teams comments make very interesting reading https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq8d9lp5y9jo No charge against the Bob Vylan Glastonbury chanting either (Note how the CAA pop up here again) The CAA should be campaigning against anti-semitism. The judge makes it fairly clear what they are actually doing. All taking time and resource away from dealing with genuine cases

Someone might be able to provide a link otherwise, but a look on google and BN's response is purely about policy and creed. The victims barely get a mention.

Think I read earlier the guy who disarmed one of the terrorists is a Muslim. Quite a symbolic vision in terms of the very best and the very worst coming together. Doesn't help given the number of Islamic countries we've invaded or got too involved in the politics of in the last few decades proportionately to countries of other religions. It's not a justification for anything like this but a tragic inevitability.
