Not for me. Everton were worse IMO.

Great timing 👌

And no VAR check.

Right before we score would be good 😉

85% possession for us so far!

He's just had Covid. Maybe he hasn't quite fully recovered yet.

Yeah it's difficult to take Johnson's claims that no country could be doing more to stop the flow of Russian money than us seriously, when you consider that this time 2 years ago, having refused to publish the security report on Russian interference in the UK until after the GE, he was casually dismissing those who tried to raise concerns about its contents as bitter remoaners who were only trying to reverse the Brexit decision.

Yep, and I'm celebrating the lifting of all restrictions by.... Being stuck at home with fucking Covid 🤒😩

If only we had a forum member based there who could offer some local commentary 😥

You do know that Ukraine isn't in the EU, right?

Or even Lemon Jelly's Rambling Man 😂

China recognising Russia's "legitimate security concerns" and refusing to agree with the western description of today's actions as an invasion. And Russian troops have captured Chernobyl (there must have been some of those awful Nazis hiding out inside it).

I wouldn't call 17% huge by any stretch of the imagination. The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians are opposed to Russia. An occupation wouldn't be "manageable" for Putin, it would be disastrous.

Congratulations. I think you have just set a new personal record for the highest number of strawman arguments in a single sentence. You'll never learn will you.

It's very difficult to listen to Johnson decrying Russia's financial influence on foreign governments when you consider that he himself admitted to taking a £160k bribe from a member of Putin's government to have a game of tennis with him.

Trump would have been hopelessly compromised by his financial dependence on Russia. That's why he's always so full of praise for Putin because the survival of his business empire rests on him being compliant with Putin's wishes. If Trump was still in the Whitehouse, the only way it would have changed the outcome in Ukraine is that the invasion would have happened sooner.

Great result for Burnley. Reckon they have a good chance of staying up. Watford and Norwich to go down, with one of Everton, Leeds and Sandcastle to go with them. Leeds have been crap recently, but Everton have a horrendous run-in with very few 'winnable' games left. Will be fascinating to see how it plays out.

On the plus side of that though, it looks like we are going to see a a proper title fight this season after all. Six straight wins for Liverpool and Citeh's 12-point lead is now down to just 3.

Just watched the Netflix documentary "Downfall" about this subject. It's heartbreaking. There's a special place in hell reserved for the Boeing executives who considered their share value to be of greater importance than passenger safety.

As @Turkish said when I shared the video of the Everton home game, what a brilliant team we had that season. Bonkers to think that MLT and Rodders scored 45 goals between them from the wings in a kamikaze 4-2-4 formation. Never a dull moment that season. Ten out of ten for entertainment.

Sports personality turned Saturday afternoon sports TV presenter turned full on conspiracy theorist. Next he'll be wearing a turquoise shell suit and claiming he's the son of God. Perhaps we should never have given him that nickname.

Dean Smith couldn't win at SMS with Villa, who have a much better squad than Norwich do, and our performance levels currently are much better than they were around the time of that Villa game. We didn't perform 'badly' at Carrow Road IMO. We just didn't take our chances and they scored from their only two serious attempts on goal thanks to McCarthy's incompetence. Just as with Everton on Saturday, they have improved a bit recently but if we play to the level we're capable of we will beat them comfortably.

I don't think that's even their biggest worry. They are currently building a new £500m stadium at the docks. The financial fallout if they get relegated would be catastrophic.

The answer is nobody. The pace of the PL game these days means it's impossible for the likes of MLT to get the time and space needed to score such a ridiculous goal as that second one. We'll never see another hattrick like it again IMO.
