How am I apologising for anyone? the issues of foreign money in London has been going on for 25+ years, and far from limited to the Tory party/Russians. If you want to talk about influence, have a closer look at the EU, puts us to shame. They (well, Germany) have effectively financed all of this. How the hell am I apologising for Russia? What is wrong with you?

This is joke right? You are another one that see everything that the Tory's/PM does is bad, no matter what

You do know we have done more than most nations on earth. I am so sorry if that does not fit into your warped view that everything he does is bad, but it is true. Whether we have done enough, who knows.

Adkins to save the day?

At loooooong last. Throw a few £ on shares with Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrup Grumman and BAE sharpish

If Russia fail, without NATO needing to put someone in harms way, do you think there will be a thirst from governments/people around Europe to massively increase defence spending?

I think Brentford are in serious danger of going down! Noticed Ivan Toney on the bench - no idea if he has been injured. They can't defend/score goals, and the sending off yesterday was from a pretty nasty challenge. Their fixtures are a mixed bag - Norwich & Burnley in their next 2, with Leeds at home last game of the season (with Everton away just before that)

Who is telling you that?

What we get in the news, the Guardian, Mail, RT, and more importantly in this conflict - Twitter/social media, is part of the action taking place. No idea what is false, staged or true.

The biggest takeaway from this, the information war is more critical then ever.

That was handball, surely?

Great ball by hoijberg great finish

Brilliant. You wanted this in government

I can see a couple of changes. Perraud, maybe Stephens, maybe Redmond to start

absolutely, and has played very well for England over a decent period of time. Trippier has looked class with the couple of appearances at Newcastle.

To reverse the vast cuts to defence (alongside paying for COVID) it will take many many years and 10s of £billions of permanent increased spending in that area. This will mean welfare, education and/or even health absorbing cuts in spending (imagine selling that at the next election with national debt around 100%)! Can you recall a time in recent history where increased defence spending has been a vote winner?

Are you suggesting we should be spending more? If so, how much?

I can see KwP getting in the next squad (not Livramento). However despite Chilwell being out, I am sure I heard at the weekend on a commentary, that James is back in training. Tripper (when fit) will get in also.

I suggest we are safe from the drop 🤣

Beautiful strike. We have scored some lovely goals this season

They all count!!!

Fluffing our chances here

Have you seen the state of discourse over the last 5+ years? (You are not daft, so that is obviously a question that does not require an answer) That with the fallout if Afghanistan and Iraq (which is not an excuse for most of the EU) We are now weak, lazy, represented by idiots who have visual horizon of about 3 years, if that.
