There does seem to be something of a contradiction there mate. That it was kept quiet in the first place but then tactically made public.... But of course, the reason for the eventual release makes sense in the context you express.

That is a bit of a logic flaw, but, who would have had the same impact as Bale for them when he was at his height? So much of what he did was individual brilliance rather then based upon team-work.

Which brings us into a far deeper discussion of freedom of expression or whether this should have been reported in the first place. Clearly, this information was made public as a deterrent to those who may be tempted to join ISIS and seek to kill people in this country. Should that be something they are considering it is my feeling that a newspaper headline is probably not a key factor behind it.

Seems that it has now.

It was a tasteless headline, but that's the Sun for you. As for the pro-active action to defend our country, good work.

Absolutely. That we are not the only club p*ssed off with their chairman show's he is being somewhat questionable. Make a derisory bid, hope that the interest shown will be enough to destabilise the player and get them to force a move through and then look to snap the guy up for below market value when the club decides to move on a disruptive influence in the dressing room. Thankfully, thanks to the increased TV money their appeal of larger wages and reputation is being mitigated. Clubs can stand firmer against their bullying tactics. Their strategy also has the side-effect of only letting them sign players with greater potential for being total t*ssers, see Emmanuel Adebayor as a prime example. Ergo, they will never reach their absolute potential.

One of them gets it.

Well, that sentence will go down well at the Lane...

Shared play between Tablet and Desktop...... Is that only with the slimmed down/Classic mode?

He was no Marcelo Sarmiento.

Well, I would recommend some research into their classification of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) as a terrorist group as a start. There is a very antagonistic relationship between the Turks and Kurds.

Absolutely agree.

Graziano does it again. Italy 1-0 Malta. FT.

Had Nigel Adkins stayed with Gaston in his more open attacking system I think he would have had a chance, alas.....

Indeed, there is your root cause. Why did you assume I only meant economic migrants?

In practice, once you are in the Shengen area, you can go wherever you like, there is no border control or checking.

The human crisis is heartbreaking.... but it is the symptom, not the cause. The fundamental question of why people are fleeing their home nations rather then can we look after them needs to be addressed otherwise this will keep getting worse and worse. This will not be solved by opening boarders further.

No, let him rot in the scouse reserves.

Because to sell someone the moment they mouth off is to sell our own soul. We must maintain our backbone.

Worthy of mention.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imants_Bleidelis Had considered Kleber Chala too.

Despite my better instincts, I still cannot help but feel Ramirez is a waste of talent.

I could believe the pina-coladas and the dancing on the bar as the real reason for the operation.

Diplomacy; You have it.

Should the black box say no......

Alternatively, the Scottish Premier League is not very rich, despite club size. Ranger's spending was the reason they went bust, Celtic's keeping up with the jones'es was paid for by CL money. Ergo, having not qualified for the last few years they cannot spend anymore.
