Who are you comparing Iraola to on that list?

We were not on a par with them - they are a much bigger club than us with much more money. We would never have attracted Unai Emery.

But who are you bringing in? Not having a manager lined up to take over is probably more negligent and the match was Monday (and that is the game that will probably have pushed them to look).

OK, so that is probably not a good idea to use over populated areas that are close to military targets then.

I think it's more scrap metal versus explosive material that I'm questioning. Of course there will be scrap metal, but that won't cause an explosion on its own, it needs fuel or warhead for that.

That makes more sense than the explosions being shrapnel.

I think the biggest issue we have is attracting a Manager to lead us - apart from Championship Managers and random unknown foreigners I don't think anyone will be particularly interested. We don't have the lustre that we did prior to Ralph arriving in players or stature, and being given this team, with no money to spend due to PSR and an almost nailed on relegation is not one that Moyes and certainly Potter would want to take in. West Brom are also pushing for promotion this season, so I can't see Corberan wanting to leave that project either (they won't suffer from PSR issues next season due to being in the Championship for the past 3 years, and a new(ish) American owner.

But wouldn't that explode midair as they've been hit? Otherwise aren't you just disabling missiles and creating smaller (but still quite large) but random hitting missiles, possibly over civilian areas? I've got no idea tbh. Also in the first video you can see one taken out mid air (and disappearing) and it doesn't look that different to the ones hitting the ground...the speed and cluster also looks quite targetted in the first and third video, in my completely amateur opinion.

That's some mighty big explosions from shrapnel - surely the point is if they've been intercepted there is no warhead left to detonate on impact?

Didn't shoot them down particularly well mind: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAlwNfaIEFg/?igsh=eWVsOXJ0bDE5OXNv https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAluogwocsb/?igsh=a25nYm15Ym5vaGsx https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAl0TL6I9pM/?igsh=MXZ3cHhocWp3aWlseQ==

We'll see I guess. I think Netanyahu is more hell bent on destruction than that. It'll all depend on how much the US wants to back an attack on Iran I guess.

Not with people with your personality.

Calm yourself.

No, never said that, I said that it's going to be WW3. Israel has a stronger army and more support, but the point is Iran is not Hamas or Hezbollah and will be able to fight back effectively.

I think it's more that they're bombing military targets, rather than schools, hospitals and refugee camps.

It will become it - US backed Israel versus Russian backed Iran. Iran has a much more advanced (and pretty huge) army than people think, and a fuck ton of ballistic missiles. Judging by the videos tonight the Israeli's can't seem to defend particularly effectively against them. Cue huge escalations from both sides.

Oh well, looks like the Israeli's are leading us all into WW3. Goody. Just what Hamas wanted on October 7th and Netanyahu was stupid enough to facilitate it.

I don't think Moyes would be interested, and the players we have are not the type he usually purchases - not big or physical enough. There is nothing attractive about the job - a squad of uninterested and low confidence Championship players, fans who get on the Managers backs very quickly and no money. Why would he want to come here?

I'm calling bullshit unless I see a picture...

He's with Lucy Pinder.

Ah, so it was your wife he was caught fingering in the New Forest!

Voting yes - not because I think he deserves it particularly - we have a good Championship team but nowhere near a PL team - but mainly because it's splitting the fan base and if we need Championship players to be good enough for the Prem we need the fans behind them. Who to replace him with though, that's the million dollar question?

Brighton fans aren't convinced...

I don't think we're going to agree on this, our team is very poor IMO and I'm not sure the calibre of Manager we'll be looking to bring in is good enough to mask those deficiencies. Either way I think Martin splits the fan base too much. It's a shame as I imagine he will do well in the future as he's only 38 and he will continue to learn. Not sure many Managers have become competent PL managers at that age, but sobeit.

A number of people didn't rate Delap...
