Pressure which means fuck all unless the US decide to stop it.

Do you really believe that even if they killed every single member of Hamas it will change anything going forward? Killing just leads to more hatred and more killing.

They could have got all the hostages back under Biden’s plan, they chose not to because the more they lay waste to Gaza the easier it will be to implement Trump’s plan. Make it uninhabitable, force the locals out then they can take what they want - taking what they want is what Israel does.

The US and Israel are one of the same, if they seriously threatened to cut support Israel would stop the killing tomorrow.

Still with no choice but to fight, it would just cost Europe more. If the US cut everything NATO is finished so Europe will also have no choice but to step up anyway.

They would be in a worse position but there is no way they are just going to roll over and let Russia take everything. If they did that it would be a bloodbath anyway, they don’t have any choice but to fight.

Ah bless, you actually believe Israel’s motivation is to retrieve the hostages.

Europe give more in aid than the US.

Ukraine will not stop fighting regardless of what the US do.

What consequences? Less dead children?

When Trump took over there was an agreement, if I remember rightly it didn’t go to the second phase (Israel withdrawing from Gaza and more hostages being released) after Trump revealed his plans for turning Gaza into a resort for rich Israelis/Americans.

This is the most bizarre decision, why sign a keeper who is shitter than Bazunu and McCarthy? Fucking nuts.

Could be a vacancy at Saints soon if things carry on as they are.

I’ve seen nothing in our performances so far to suggest he could get us anywhere near the top of the league, and considering he was a complete gamble with next to no record of achievement and limited experience it would be lunacy to give him too much longer. I would be sounding out alternatives, give him the next two games and if there is no considerable improvement, get shot.

I would be be very surprised if it wasn’t already a factor in deciding who to monitor, the problem is probably resources, as usual. Also, it doesn’t appear clear at this stage wether his motivation behind the attack was an ISIS style ideology or more political. His antisemitism may have been born more though his hatred of Israel than his religious beliefs, in which case he might have been considered less of a risk.

Obviously. From the BBC: Today’s events in Manchester are taking place amid a dangerous undercurrent of heightened alerts and warnings. While the investigation into the perpetrator’s motives has yet to run its course, counter-terrorism police and the MI5 security service have been on alert for some time for so-called ‘blowback’ from the war in Gaza. One official described the violence there as "a running sore that is radicalising people" across borders. On 18 September, the Islamic State group urged its followers to carry out attacks on Jewish and Christian targets in Europe, especially in Britain.

Of course it is. We will have to wait and see what the scumbag’s motivation was.

The sad fact is that the actions of Israel has caused a rise in antisemitism, wether that’s a factor here remains to be seen.

I voted to get rid because I thought it was a bad appointment at the time, would probably give him a few more games though.

The thing is the Saints job this season was a fucking hard job, we needed a manager to walk in and make big decisions straight away. They needed to deal with the scar tissue from last season, get rid of the players not up for the fight and know straight away who to bring in to create a team capable of promotion. I don’t get how anyone would expect someone with Still’s limited experience to be able to do that.

19th in the three horse race.

Cooper?

Not exactly a surprise though is it? We hired someone who never played the game, never managed in the Championship, only managed for a few seasons in France and achieved nothing. SR are a bunch of mugs, trying to be too clever and believe any bullshit agents tell them.

Just sack the cunt now, we all knew it was a gamble and he’s obviously clueless.

This. We needed and experienced manager who knows the league, someone who could make the tough decisions.
