View From The Top

Strange you say that but I've friends going and they said today that they intend to sing it loud and proud.

Really. Considering I'm advocating ex-judicial execution and no holds bar conflict I'm an apologist? Deary me.

Lesser of two evils. The enemy of my enemy etc. At the time I knew very little of the Assad regime bar their meddling in Lebanon where they support their Shia allies, Hezbollah.

I'm pretty sure that others will support me when I say that I was saying it at the time and have never wavered from that view. George Bush Snr in his recently released memoirs places the blame at the feet of neo-cons (bar his son obviously), perhaps he knows nowt either.

Convenient scapegoats? Fook me.

Blair and Bush started this with their insane adventure into Iraq, we are still paying the price.

I'd like to see the West use the Kurds as the anvil and our own troops as the hammer. The world would see the cowards flee and die at the hands of fellow Muslims. For those already in the West then, as liberal as I am, I have no issue with the "Gibraltar" option being employed.

This requires a boots on the ground war. The Kurds have shown what can be done. We went to Iraq based on lies and idiots praying together. This is a whole new ball game and in this case justified. They have their hardcore who we should help on their way to paradise but the wannabies won't be so keen.

You kill, in large numbers, every single one you can find. You prosecute the war without mercy and unflinchingly. ISIS isn't a hydra. If the world sees it's head cut off then the wannabes won't be so keen. The rules are changing and we have to change with them.

Before the hard of thinking start their anti-Muslim bull it's worth noting that ISIS kill more Muslims than anybody else. As for negotiation. Impossible. This is a fight until the bitter end and we in the West better be prepared to get our hands very bloody to win it.

He doesn't provoke me. I just laugh at is ill aimed rants. It's hard to be provoked by a tired and thick old man who spent his life serving drinks to his betters. Nice to know he loves my bum though. My cheeks are rock hard due to all the cycling. Just think of that Georgie, if your old ticker can take it, my lovely rock hard bum.

He's most comfy in a waiters uniform. It's must be hard for old George when asked by the good ole boys if he served. I'm sure he says yes, then looks away sheepishly when I he knows he was thinking solely of all those vol au vents. Drink sir? Canape madam?

Did you still want another picture of my bottom to ejaculate over? Must be hard knowing so many served their country whilst your served canapes.

I'm a pure born mush who lives in Stafford but sentenced to teach in Stoke.

Staffordshire.

Our Level 3 Sports students have had to write an assignment investigating the potential of a non PL "sleeping giant". You'll be amazed. nay shocked, to hear that none, not a single one, looked at the worlds biggest and best fan owned super club! Leeds, the Sheffield clubs, Forest, Derby, Boro and even Bristol City were all represented but not the east Hampshire super giant that is pompey! Travesty.

Fookin nanny state has banned U11s from heading a football as it's dangerous. Fookin government telling us how to lead our lives. Fookin nanny state.

At 1/2 term I was in Belgium again, Flanders to be exact. I go on a regular basis as it's the heartland of cycling but also because of Ypres, Messines, Zonnebeke, Passchendale and countless other blood-soaked places. When you ride around and see cemetery after cemetery, memorial after memorial, the thick clinging Flanders mud, the grey skies with a bitter wind cutting in off the sea you can't help but be moved and angry but the futility of it all. At Tyne Cot there was a piped band with a lone piper playing a lament. The sound of the pipes drifting across the battlefield moved me to tears in a way I've not felt since I visited the Somme. I'm ex-military, fought in a war, studied for a degree in history and I find it easy to attend remembrance parade to pay my respects to the fallen whilst hating war and those leaders who cause them.

Ahh, that makes a lot of sense.

If, and it is only an if, what I was told yesterday is true then we will get in Jan' what we would all consider top end of what we'd settle for in the summer! I'll hopefully find out more tomorrow evening. I'd hope that if he does go we don't delve into the market for a replacement until the summer.

Juve manager asked by the press, in an international week, about an Italian player. Crook, being the cu_nt he is makes it into a story about Juve being after said player.

Perhaps £35m from Utd and AT on loan from Spurs would do until the summer when we can bring in a proper replacement? Personally I think he'll stay until the summer anyway.

Maybe we've made our position clear but Utd think if they chuck enough money at it we will say yes?

That's the sort of number mentioned but "package" was quoted which to me means salary etc. I'll see the person in question on Wednesday evening so I'll see what I can find out.

Strange you say that. Was told today that Utd were going back to Saints in the hope of a January deal. Was told the fee and, if true, it's obscenely big.
