Yet you support a man who literally provoked an armed insurrection because he didn't like the result of an election. And you accuse me of being 'blinked' (sic)?

WTF is wrong with you? I've told you multiple times I'm not a Biden supporter. When it comes to US politics I am completely neutral. I'm not American and I have no preference between Reps/Dems whatsoever. They are just two sides of the same coin as far as I'm concerned. Please share with us this video of Biden facing the committee you mentioned, so I can see for myself if what you say is true. And if it is then I will agree with you.

Got wood?

I went there about 15 years ago. Travelled around cos it's only a small country. Had a couple of nights in Ljubljana which is a lovely city, went up the the northern lakes (Bled, Bohinj) for a few days, then had a couple of nights in Piran on the coast near the border with Italy. Really fantastic place to visit. Much less touristy than Croatia.

In all seriousness @Turkish I can't recommend Croatia highly enough. Went with my wife and daughter for 10 days in 2018 and it was amazing. It's a beautiful part of the world and the natives are so friendly and welcoming. Of all the holidays I've had, it's the one place I would definitely go back to given the chance. Only down side is the limited range of beers available, but the two main local ones are decent enough.

Yeah and while you're at it could you give us an accurate weather report? Can't trust what they report on the news.

I tried long and hard to think of a joke about Emiliano Sala here, but eventually realised that no matter what I came up with, it would be crass and unfunny.

Beto scores

Lewis Dobbin. He's best mates with my nephew (who is on the bench tonight). They came through the academy together. Watched him a few times and he's a decent young player. Definitely gonna get opportunities this season, given the state of their squad.

Probably quite a drive from Dubrovnik (assuming you'll have a hire car) but I highly recommend Krka national park, if you're a fan of walking trails and waterfalls. It's not as famous as Plitvice (which would be even further to drive) but it's equally as beautiful. Not far from there is a lovely little old coastal town called Sibenik, which I also recommend for a day excursion.

I think we're all hoping it was a one-off, caused by the fact that Shields jumped ship in the autumn and we had no head of recruitment in place for the January window, meaning Ankersen was forced to take charge of it. Thankfully, it seems with Wilcox here now we can be confident we won't have a repeat of such a disastrous window.

I think this just highlights the issue here though: that Sully doesn't seem to care which club he's playing for as long as he is in the promised land of the PL. He was happy to sign a nice fat contract with us in January, despite us being bottom of the table with a total basket case of a manager.

Another dreadful piece of "journalism".

OK so I watched the video. The book referred to is aimed at kids aged 10 and over (the pastor literally says that in his interview), and at no point during this clip is Joe Biden's name even mentioned. So how exactly does that answer my question?

Was just going to post similar. It's just a load of speculative click-bait bollocks.

I don't 'support' Biden, because I'm not American and I don't have a horse in this race, but just because I think Trump is an unhinged lunatic with the emotional intelligence of a toddler, you assume I do and thus dismiss anything I say on that basis. Therefore, it is a strawman argument because you are attacking a position that I'm not defending. And anyway, when did Biden say he thinks kids as young as 6 should be taught about sex? I agree, that is too young, but I can't find any evidence that this ever even happened. So it looks like it's yet another strawman argument. At least you're not even pretending to have even the slightest degree of objectivity here. You're obviously so heavily blinkered by your blatant political bias that it's really not worth even trying to address these two ridiculous claims at face value. Are you quite sure about that?

I don't really give a shit about his motivation. He's contracted to us, and he knew when he signed we were probably going to be relegated, therefore it was always likely he would be playing in the Championship this season. He did nothing in his few appearances last season to suggest this level is truly beneath him. He's our record signing, so we're not going to let him go for peanuts. Nor should we just loan him out to whoever wants him just because he couldn't see the inevitable in January. Either he accepts that and gets his head down and plays, or he can mope around while still picking up his sizeable salary.

This is just a nonsense strawman argument. This thread isn't about Joe Biden, it's about Donald Trump. Just because many people recognise him for what he is - a lying, corrupt, morally-bankrupt, narcissistic psychopath - doesn't necessarily mean they automatically support his opponent in the last election. If you want to ask about people's opinions on Biden, he has his own dedicated thread here. You were the one who made the claim that Trump ran the country (and the world 😕) better than Biden ever could. Why don't you support your case with some evidence of what Donny did that was so good? Then we can have a proper debate about it.

As was Dominic Gape, and doing very well by all accounts but hampered by injuries for the last 3 seasons. Seems he was released this summer. Most recent article I can find says he was training with Stockport County in July but is still without a club for the time being.

I expect he'd feel right at home in Ocean Village as well.

Ah. Didn't realise. Yeah that could be problematic, especially if we do sell Che and he is being signed as the replacement.

I've done it plenty of times since I moved up north. Not going to Sunderland this weekend, but hopefully be going to Boro in a few weeks time.

Is he still injured then?

This could just be a classic Mourinho style tactic of unsettling a player with a transfer rumour just before he's about to play against us.
