Sheaf Saint

Bear in mind that we only have the word of the Iranian regime that this even happened. With no foreign journalists allowed in the country, it can't be independently verified.

Not much in the way of away fan friendly ones near the ground. Your best bet is to stay in the centre and then jump on a yellow route tram towards Middlewood which stops right near the stadium.

Juffair naval base in Bahrain VID-20260228-WA0016.mp4

My brother lives in Bahrain, and two days ago his wife died from cancer. Last night I booked flights for Monday for my nephew and me to go over for her funeral. My brother has messaged to say the government has issued shelter in place alerts as the US naval base there has now been hit in retaliation by Iran. He's been sent pictures of explosions at the base from friends who live near there. Needless to say, I won't now be travelling.

Of course it was. The negotiations were quite obviously just a sham, intended only to give them some semblance of moral justification. Very few people, not even most Iranians, would mourn the overthrow of the Ayatollahs. But we've been here before with Iraq, and we all know full well the motivations of Trump/Netenyahu are not as pure and altruistic as they want us to believe.

Fresh injury hit for Sheffield Wednesday as relentless run of bad luck continues https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/sheffield-wednesday-injury-5614714

He must. But he won't.

For once I am in complete agreement with you. In blocking Burnham he put his own interests before the party's (and the country's), and losing the seat to the Greens is squarely on his shoulders.

Every single word of this could also be applied to antisemitism.

But that's no different to how the Israeli government use accusations of antisemitism to shut down legitimate criticism of their treatment of Palestinians though. There will always be bad faith actors who will use similar tactics. To focus criticism of it in the context of Islamophobia without acknowledging that is disingenuous.

While this is true - I have huge misgivings about all organised religions myself - you know full well that in the case of the word Islamophobia, it's not actually the religious framework of Islam that it refers to.

No. It means an instinctive aversion to something, rather than a fear of it. When something waterproof is described as hydrophobic, it doesn't mean it's scared of water.

Their current predicament is down to Chansiri, but their financial problems go back much longer than that. He bought the club in 2015 but they have been grossly mismanaged since the turn of the century when they were relegated from the PL with massive debts. Living in the city I know quite a few Wednesday fans, and I really sympathise with them. Barring a couple of promotions from L1 and getting into the Champ playoffs a few seasons ago, they've had such a rough time over decades now. As for Hillsborough, it's almost embarrassing how much of an eyesore it is for the city now. It's such a run-down, dilapidated shit hole and really should have been demolished and replaced a long time ago.

He once came and visited a company I worked for in Salisbury in his role as trade envoy. We were given a long list of rules such as "do not approach or speak to the prince unless invited" etc... He gave off an air of the entire exercise being beneath him, and would ask people questions then walk off before they even finished answering. I have absolutely no difficulty believing that he is, indeed, an absolute cunt.

What about if we partner him with Camer...... Oh, never mind.

1-2 now. Cov turned that round within 10 mins.

That is actually how it is pronounced in Japan though. https://www.howtopronounce.com/japanese/matsuki

I don't remember that. But then I left after the 3rd goal went in and went to meet some friends in the pub.

Indeed. To concede 5 against an xG of 1.5 is beyond bad.

Well I guess it's difficult for her to be the legal owner of any kind of property, given that she has been dead for over two thousand years (if she even existed in the first place, of course).

It's obviously St Mary's, because it's named after St Mary's Church, as in the church OF St Mary.

I've just watched the highlights cos I missed the third goal last night. Really good finish from Matsuki after Walsh parried the shot from Leo. I think we all know where that would have ended up if that had fallen to Fellows.

Last time I went to watch us play at Hillsborough, we lost 5-0 under George Burley. Wednesday weren't even particularly good on the day, we just completely crumbled in defence and gave away some ridiculous goals. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7076446.stm At least we can safely say there is zero chance of that happening again on Saturday.

I don't see anything wrong with that. If QPR had scored the third goal to make it 2-1 then it could have been an entirely different story, but going 3-0 down so early in the second half obviously killed their entire plan and after that it was one way traffic.

Hideous. Far worse than that horrific pink third kit we had last season.
