The Kraken

I haven’t, but any time I see homeless people on the streets I always think “you know what, I could give everything else up and just go and do that”.

Correct. He may well turn out to be flipping excellent but, at the moment, he’s a bit of a novice at this level. Hopefully Stewart can do a Lambert and break ground at each increased level he finds himself at, but until then he has a lot to prove to be even considered amongst the best in the division.

I think the stat Sky showed was transfer money spent since 1992, because that’s when football began. Liverpool 1.8 billion, Luton 32 million.

Good old 1teem. What a complete fuckwit he was, he made aintclever look like a rocket scientist.

Havent seen him for years. Many years ago I used to think he was a myth, I heard so much about him from so many people but I never saw him. Then when I bought my first ever flat in central town, on my very first morning there I wandered out to the newsagent and there he was! Used to see him loads, same old ‘uniform’ of a massive grey double breasted suit, a significant limp, plus the every present cackle and sometimes a cry of “you nutter” for unknown reasons. Southampton legend. But yeah, the nickname probably needs work these days…..

Tbf the standard of crossing against Saints has been world class all season so one cannot blame him for that…..

Cobblers.

Meh. I hope it rains.

Pretty decent system round at mine which has worked for many years. If your outside light is on and you put a pumpkin on your doorstep, you get knocked. Don’t do that and you pretty much get left alone. On the rare occasions this doesn’t work, as Weston says, just don’t answer the door.

And yet another straw man argument. But anyway, is that the only reason why Saints fans are the second most difficult set of fans in the country to please? Is there a league table? Let’s call it the Bad Wolf table. Who is third? How often do the places move about?

I know you adore a straw man but please do talk me through how you’ve arrived at this one. Because you must have studied it in depth. Looking forward to this.

Out of interest, what is Leicester’s excuse for their runaway start? They so abysmal last season that they lost to us. Twice.

The world’s most overused ‘Ignore On/Off’ button. Either that or it’s all made up. But nah, can’t be, doesn’t seem the sort.

12 from 13

I had to look it up to be fair, but I did find it a bit surprising.

Bree is actually shorter than Manning 👍

I simply don’t believe you.

Compared to the screeching from the Spitty Scouse on the other side he’s a breath of fresh air.

It’s pretty difficult to take any side in this, apart from that of the innocent people of Palestine and Israel who are bearing the brunt of repugnant acts from Hamas and the Israeli government.

Exactly. CNN’s report on it is pretty well defined on what is considered the likely cause, given the bulk of forensic evidence already analysed. The only other thing I’ve seen providing any sort of ‘forensic’ rebuke of the general thinking is the Channel 4 link provided yesterday, and even that doesn’t debunk the general analysis of where the rocket took off from. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/21/middleeast/cnn-investigates-forensic-analysis-gaza-hospital-blast/index.html An Al Jazeera camera, located in western Gaza and facing east, was broadcasting live on the channel at 6:59 p.m. local time on Tuesday night, according to the timestamp. The footage appears to show a rocket fired from Gaza traveling in an upwards trajectory before reversing direction and exploding, leaving a brief, bright streak of light in the night sky above Gaza City. Just moments later, two blasts are visible on the ground, including one at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. By verifying the position of the camera, CNN was able to determine that the rocket was fired from an area south of Gaza City. CNN geolocated the hospital blast by referencing nearby buildings just west of the complex. Footage taken from a webcam in Tel Aviv pointing south towards Gaza, that CNN synched with the Al Jazeera live feed, shows a volley of rockets from Gaza shortly before the blast. Several weapons experts told CNN that the Al Jazeera video appeared to show a rocket burning out in the sky before crashing into the hospital grounds, but that they could not say with certainty that the two incidents were linked – due to the challenges of calculating the trajectory of a rocket that had failed or changed course mid-flight. “I believe this happened – a rocket malfunctioned, and it didn’t come down in one piece. It’s likely it fell apart mid-air for some reason and the body of the rocket crashed into the car park. There, the fuel remnants caught fire and ignited cars and other fuel at the hospital, causing the big explosion we saw,” Markus Schiller, a Europe-based missile expert who has worked on analysis for NATO and the European Union, told CNN. “But it’s impossible for me to confirm. If a rocket malfunctioned… it is impossible to predict its flight path and behavior, so I wouldn’t be able to draw on usual analysis drawing on altitude, flight path and the burn time,” he added.

Me neither tbf. Apart from that it’s apparently a relief that the police didn’t take the knee.

Give him a slap for me 👍

I think he gets it, he just for some reason seems to prefer using ‘Jews’ or ‘Jewish’ when talking about Israeli people and/or the Israeli government. As he said earlier on this page: “When I talk about what is happening in the Middle East I assumed that most people would understand that I was talking about the Israeli state rather than Jewish people as individuals.” I mean, personally I don’t quite understand why anyone would carry on conflating the two terms. Especially when it’s been pointed out on numerous occasions. Maybe he just likes saying the word Jew, I don’t know.

Winning all the stats 😎
