Why don't the Generals train for an army of 1000 Breviks? They must be closet forum racists!

The club could do worse than to offer a % discount on Europa league pre orders linked to a testimonial ticket (if we qualify)

What i know: Ronald is perfectly happy to stay for his last contracted year, but is always hesitant about adding more, which was most evident in the middle of our bad form where the board presented him with a list of on-going concerns. Nothing has indicated he's jumping at the chance to add to his time here after that. Speculation begins: I wouldn't be surprised if the board replace him in the summer, as an outgoing manager rarely inspires great displays of player commitment. Plus we have a new direction in the works that K billy has told me about. But that's for him to comment on, not me. 3/3 posts

If UTD or Aresnal cough up, yes. Breaking into pure speculation now, I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea launch a bid.

Wanyama will be off.

Tadic and Romeu in for Clasie and Davis

Agreed. I was mystified why we swapped a harrying presence for a set piece specialist. Romeu a far more natural choice IMO.

Lost intensity when we swapped JWP for Long, didn't get it back until the introduction of Romeu who provides a lot of drive whenever he is on the pitch.

From what I've seen on this thread, some are unaware of legitimate criticism of Politicised Islam, and the more unsavoury aspects of mainstream Islam itself, and instead insist on trying to present framing of such as unthinking criticism of those with different coloured skin. It's some pretty impressive mental gymnastics.

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/mar/26/charges-dropped-against-man-who-confronted-muslim-woman-croydon I'm going to give the police the benefit of the doubt and hope that he tweeted something racist elsewhere, as they seem to have reacted based on his foolish behaviour towards a religious sect, rather than any discrimination towards one racial minority grouping.

Nato commander: Isis ‘spreading like cancer’ among refugees http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/01/refugees-isis-nato-commander-terrorists

Well at least... uh no, can't see a positive from this performance. Except that Koeman may change his tactics after this game.

So different from my younger days, when the only joy to be found on the day of a homegame against Chelsea was within the Xeroxed pages of 'The Beautiful South'. 2-1 to the mighty Saints (sorry FF)

Ron holding the ball once the five minutes were up was a nice touch.

On the subject of Corbyn's 'Britain can take it mantra', that we are a wealthy western country and and service or money we provide essentially cost us nothing in terms of monetary value or manpower, there is this from today's Times: "British children are being sent to care homes outside their county because social services are overwhelmed with unaccompanied child asylum seekers. Council officials in Kent say that they have no choice but to place local children elsewhere as a result of the large influx of migrant children. The council has 924 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) aged under 18 in its care, up from about 630 at the start of last August."

Worrying confirmation of what has been speculated for some time, and the migrant crisis is being used to mask the arrival of terrorists in Europe http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/islamic-state/12123333/Refugee-routes-main-tactic-for-Isil-terrorists-to-get-in-to-Europe-and-launch-attacks-British-intelligence-officials-fear.html And the fact that that most of the arrivals are most likely economic migrants, not Asylum seekers - how many threats have snuck in with them? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/12123684/Six-in-ten-migrants-not-entitled-to-asylum-says-EU-chief.html (You can open links in incognito mode if you have gone over your free article limit)

Good ball from Mane. Darmian got Schlonged though.

If we win today, Expect to see Bertrand being played at LCB in the next England game.

The President gives them areas to avoid. Both the Washington post and the New York Times have quoted Daniel Benjamin, U.S. State Department coordinator, on the policy from the Commander in Chief not to mention radical Islamic terrorism, in fact, 'religious extremism' was given as the term to be used instead. It wasn't hard to find this information from reputable sources, as it's not a big secret. I've watched thousands. Hundreds a as part of my degree, and hundreds since. Also been behind the scenes on Parliamentary Placement. But thanks for the advice. The formula is most certainly not always the same. Look at Alistair Campbell and his Lobby system, dragging Journalists to Whitehall basements to sit on the floor 9 times a week, compared to the modern conservative strategy, and In the case of Matthew Lee, labelling him a hack is a lazy as it is dismissive. A Veteran Journalist from multiple wars, who was also lauded for his work in exposing lack of Local government transparency In Charlottesville, and now the diplomatic correspondent for the Associated Press. Also a meticulous researcher, who actually prepares for conferences by looking a US policy in international relationships, rather than trying to trip someone up on the day. More of the Nick Davies methodology. http://bigstory.ap.org/content/matthew-lee Again, your generalisation doesn't apply. Lee tends to use direct quotes from the source in his headlines, and also the aims of that person. If there is any contradiction in the stated aims with regular policy, he will include it in his reporting. I'm not trying to pretend anything. Again, as I was trying to fathom what possible appeal Trump had to certain Americans, I came across several news sites with analysis, (The aforementioned Washington Post and New York Times, along with the Chicago Sun_Times and Boston Globe) and many listed Trumps perceived 'plain speaking' (or I suppose now, that should be 'Palin speaking'?) compared to Obama and linked to earlier articles where Obama had been noted for 'speaking around issues' and downplaying instability. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/09/us/politics/a-president-whose-assurances-have-come-back-to-haunt-him.html. The link I posted earlier came from these articles. Of course the 'Double talk' narrative from the News Corp-owned outlets doesn't help but analysis from elsewhere helps to clear the rhetoric from the debate https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2015/03/16/has-obama-delivered-the-most-transparent-administration-in-history/ while also looking at Obama's record on credibility with the issue of terrorism https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-and-putin-meet-for-talks-in-aftermath-of-paris-attacks/2015/11/16/c38a137a-8c51-11e5-acff-673ae92ddd2b_story.html and how Trump is attempting to conflate plain speaking and national security http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/11/18/donald-trump-runs-radio-ads-criticizing-obama-on-paris-attacks/ While it may be a joke to the rest of us, given Palin's blustered attempt at rational discourse, her endorsement allows him a genuine shot of winning Iowa. Whereas Obama's preference for inconsistent foreign policy may harm Clinton and Sanders (not enough to land the Whitehouse for the Republicans, IMHO)

Did you watch the follow up? I broadly agree with your point on the first video, but instead of just admitting he misspoke, Obama briefed his Press department to deny and obfuscate into parody. Incredible.

Indeed, luckily they are used to speeches full of nonsense over there. Good to see that whomever gets the keys to the Whitehouse, speaking without engaging the brain will continue... With the follow up: [video=youtube;NDF-oN3B1PA]

Indeed. The perception is just as deadly to the Pro-EU argument as the reality.

No transfer request + He'll earn less money on his new contract.

Except if the move goes ahead, we'll be paying off most of Gaston's...
