hypochondriac

Has Bree played lb for us before? Martin mentioned going back to basics a bit this week. I'm hoping that results in no dicking about with the formation or personnel.

Did he get a yellow in the last game? Edit: just checked and he didn't.

Bazunu Bree THB Stephens Manning Downes Smallbone Adam Armstrong Edozie Aribo Adams Bring on Brooks and Stuart at half time. Expect we will play Stephens...

Genuine question because I don't know - is it suspicious that there's been a big increase in postal voting? Some suggestion on social media that there was some dodgy business but could be an invention of course. I'd be in favour of policies that discourage that form of voting unless it's really necessary.

Alfie House saying the update is at 10 so they must have kept it on the embargoed section of the presser.

"the reward and the feeling the players get for the perceived risk tops anything" How about the feeling of winning Russell. Sometimes it feels tome like he's some scientist in charge of an experiment where the process is more important to him than the result. If we don't go up this year and are less successful next year, I can see this getting extremely tiresome incredibly quickly.

If we fail to go up, first eleven next year likely to be an approximation of: Bazunu Bree Stephens new signing Manning Charles Smallbone Adam Armstrong/Dibling Edozie/Amo-Ameyaw Aribo Stewart/new signing Which isn't half bad. Probably need as good a cb as we can afford, new rb, new cm, winger and striker.

Interesting long form interview here with Suella. I found it interesting to listen to her when she is allowed to provide her reasoning for her thinking and without the caricature on social media. Didn't agree with her on everything but she made some good points imo. Certainly worth a listen and enlightening-yet depressing- about how government operates.

It would have to be upgrades in about 7 or 8 positions.

You can just imagine a future where we get promoted and our performances are like that every week. Solid performances where we look good for large parts of the game before folding to the teams with better quality. You'll then have Martin coming out saying how proud he is of the team every week as we have great looking stats but hardly any points.

Just pointing out the obvious. Still some dinlos last week saying he shouldn't have started in the absence of Downes though...

He's not wrong. We will play out from the back and will most likely see what next year will be like should we get promoted.

If by a miracle we won it would be look at poor hard done by klopp being forced to play the kids due to the fixture schedule. The powers that be don't want them to win the quadruple.

Is that our weakest starting 11 of the season? I think so.

I'm left footed ffs the fans will murder me when I keep cutting inside.

Interesting. Are you aware of the rate of far right terror attacks carried out in the UK in say the last ten years? Are you aware of the rate of Islamist terror attacks? If one of these was substantially higher than the other do you think that whilst both would represent a problem that one would represent a greater threat than the other?

I didn't cast aspersions on people for "mentioning both sides of the debate in the same breath" you've either misunderstood or misquoted what I wrote. Go back and read it again.

At no point during this exchange have I called any of your opinions idiotic. I regularly take jabs at soggy but that's not exactly an example of the average poster.

And the response to that from some on here would be that if Israeli "oppression" hadn't happened prior to 7/10 then it wouldn't have happened. Then they get mad when someone points out that that's justifying a terror attack.

It's not nonsense at all it's all over social media. One mealy mouthed word about 7/10 being wrong and then reams of stuff about Israel often devoid of context and clearly with an agenda. That isn't talking about both sides like you claim. Also a shame you continue to prove you can't disagree over a topic without resorting to insults.

Thanks for the considered answer. So is it ever justified in a war to take actions that may result in civilian casualties or deaths? Because imo the nature of war makes both of those impossible to avoid. You can argue about the proportionality of Israel's response of course, but it's not a black or white issue and obviously mistakes and tragedies occur during the fog of war too. I do wonder if some people would feel a greater level or sympathy for Israel if Hamas had been similarly armed and one of their main objections is that Hamas don't have the same level of firepower with which to retaliate.

Fact is that awful things happen during a war which is what the Israelis view this as. I happen to think they have gone to far in some instances but at the same time I am not an Israeli and I can absolutely see why they are doing what they are doing. I also honestly believe that the outcome would be very different with intense pressure from Israel's allies to desist if the terrorist scum had given themselves up already, stopped hiding in civilian populations and handed back the hostages. Like I said already though, Hamas have no interest in doing any of those things so I can absolutely understand why they would want to destroy then as an organisation or at the very least cripple them and their capabilities for a generation.

Was there justification for n for bombing German cities during WW2?

How you phrase it suggests that it's your belief that Israelis have a share of the responsibility for the raping and murderings on 7/10. You may not believe that but that's certainly how it comes across.
