Had some fantastic moments. The first half was my fault. This will be a good learning experience for the players.

Yep. Gave it a good go which is all you can realistically ask for. This isn't that.

You know how Mike Bassett has that scene where he says "we play four four fucking two?" That's how I imagine Martin is with his playing out from the back possession stuff.

I agree. But we could have told Martin that before the season started. No one other than Martin wanted to stick with a mental strategy of continuously playing out from the back and keeping it in our own half.

It's the sort of thing that is either genius or retarded. 15 minutes in it was clearly retarded and at that point he should have reverted to a normal formation. Why on earth we bothered to change the team from last week I have no idea.

Genuinely think that Martin is as out of his depth as Jones was. In many ways it's actually worse as Jones never had a preseason or an entire season to work on what he wanted the players to do.

Well promotion was a total waste of time. To lose is one thing but to not even compete is unforgivable. Martin will come out after the game and say he is to blame and not the players and he's probably right. To have lost a game against a mid table team 30 minutes in is just aopaling

Anything reasonable that increases their chances of not getting rockets fired at them is a good thing. An ongoing presence is entirely reasonable. I can't comment on the airport as I don't know enough about it.

Hopefully just create a buffer zone so the Israelis have more chance of being left alone.

I didn't suggest otherwise.

Feels like a huge game. Beyond depressing that crappy little Bournemouth are now favourites against us. I'm praying that we can get a win and get our season started.

I don't think he ever believed what he said. Just played a part to get people to give him money.

As I understand it there has been some efforts to minimise casualties but it's a balance isn't it. You can't pre-notify everyone of every strike you intend to make or they would be pointless. It seems that only Israel are held to this unrealistic standard. I won't see similar levels of outrage should any Lebanese rocket attacks kill or maim young Israelis (and let's not forget, if rocket attacks supported by Iran were not occurring then these retaliations from Israel would almost certainly not be happening.)

Yeah war sucks doesn't it and terrible things happen during wars. I really wish the evil terrorists hadn't started this and continue to pose a threat to Israel. What bastards they are.

We will almost certainly lose to city and Arsenal so if we don't get at least 4 points from this game and Leicester then it's starting to look a little hopeless barring some miraculous turn around in form.

As difficult as it will be, tomorrow becomes a must win for me otherwise we will be getting cut adrift even at this early stage.

Genuinely many of their players and definitely their manager is superior to ours.

Ipswich's style of play is a million times better than ours.

Powerful stuff from her. Doubt it will do anything but biological women have lost a powerful ally in the labour party.

Granny harmer, Two tier, free gear, possibly queer?

Brilliant. Celebrations in Syria at the death of hated terrorist scum. Great to see. https://x.com/mishtal/status/1839784847633518889?t=Qo_y64K9-Fx1_3UDwG_Wbg&s=19

I'm not talking about the individual. She isn't the only one discussing the oddities of the situation regarding Starmer and his benefactor.

I would suggest that Starmer has largely brought this situation on himself. It's now being perpetuated on social media but he only has himself to blame.

Not if he was caught up in the exploding pagers he won't...

Maybe so. If and when this so called open secret is out in the open, we will be able to judge. One advantage of social media is that it makes it much harder for dodgy political parties to hide scandals. Remains to be seen if this is a load of nothing or not.
