No . Be like Batman and get all your opinions from Twitter

A Muslim I worked with followed Ramadan. He was granted exemptions from the fasting regime whenever a group of us went away on business. He had to make up for the days that he missed by fasting at other times during the year. It suited him well. Ramadan that year was in June and he made up for his exempt days in December!!

I certainly don't think that Campbell should be "admired". I do think that it is worth listening to what he says about events in which he was a key player.

Come off Twitter for a couple of hours, stop fretting about transsexuals and listen to last week's episodes of the podcast "The Rest is Politics". It is Campbell and Rory Stewart tackling the events that led to the Iraq War and it's aftermath. Campbell is certainly not given an easy time by Stewart. He defends himself robustly even if he is not that convincing. You may not agree with him but after listening to the podcast I would be surprised if you are still "utterly stunned".

Here's a simpler proposal If you don't want to read something SOG has written...then don't bother. HTH

I bet we will get points in the matches which most people would expect us to lose - (Arsenal, Man City, Newcastle, Liverpool ) in the same way that we have gained 5 points from Chelsea away, Man U away and Spurs at home. What will decide our fate will be how we do I the 6 pointers versus Bournemouth, Forest and Palace.

Nice try at rescuing this thread from the persecution of SOG but it looks as if it has failed.

Did you mean to post this on Red Cafe?

Nah. That is straight out of the Project Fear playbook.

Agree entirely. Repeat today's performance and every game is winnable.

But according to Leaky Sue there are "billions" wanting to come over. With all those people in the country it is going to be difficult to get a ticket at SMS.

I disagree with the view that MOTD works better without analysis or commentators. I want to hear what experienced ex pros think about a game and welcome their analysis of certain players' contributions. I want to see again some of the key moments of a match -especially if they occurred at the other end of the pitch. Was the Var decision correct? What did the manager think of his team's performance? etc etc. Last night's format didn't work in my opinion.

God knows why Duckie this sad... But I have long given up on trying to understand what Duckie thinks.

The BBC is shit scared of upsetting the Tory party. Lineker is just the latest example. The unsuitability of Boris Johnson's dad's knighthood was raised on Thursday's QT. It was claimed that he was a wife beater having in the past broken his wife's nose in an argument. Presumably to keep her BBC job Fiona Bruce then pointed out that "but he had only once" beaten his wife so badly that she needed hospital treatment!!0 Like Trump, the Tories want to silence media opposition. Unlike Trump with CNN it looks as if they are winning with the BBC.

What a shocking day for the BBC. It bows to the Daily Mail and government ministers re Gary Lineker and it admits to not challenging Nadine Dorries when she made up smears about Sue Grey. I suppose that is what you get when the chairman of the BBC is a Johnson crony and the director of communications used to work for Theresa May. It's hilarious to think that the likes of Batman are so gaslit that they think the BBC is a left wing organisation!!

It looks as though his nurses have let our resident nutter near the keyboard again.

Yet Germany has taken in 9 times the number of refugees per sqkm of land than the UK.

Whenever Sunak (or Boris or Truss come to think of it) comes up with that retort , you know that he is struggling. The same applies to the Jeremy Corbyn taunt. Starmer had Sunak over a barrel at PMQs today. All the Tories talk about is how tough they are on immigration and how the system is in a mess (of their own making). Starmer was just showing the hollowness of their claims so Sunak had to come out with the leftie lawyer rubbish.

We will be fine if we could just play Chelsea and Leicester every week. It's crazy how well over half our points have come from those 2 teams

You missed off the appalling state of our rivers and coastline due to sewage releases. Is anything better now than it was back in 2010?

No. So it means that like the rest of us the people of Northern Ireland have restrictions on their ability to travel and work in Europe. A great shame if you are not a Little Englander.

I love Alistair Campbell's analogy: Praising the NI deal is like praising your kids when you have left them alone for a week. They have completely trashed the house but expect to be praised for tidying up the kitchen.

I think that we are all going through the 5 stages of grieving process. Denial - think that I am past that. Last night was the final straw. We are poor. Will get relegated. Time to forget doing a Wigan. Anger - Where I am and I suspect the OP. How did it all fall apart so badly?? Who is to blame?? I want heads on a plate. Bargaining - Not sure what we can do. It is all out of our control. Depression - will be over us all until the end of the season. Acceptance - August 2023. Christ. Being a Saints fan sucks atm.

We will just have to agree to differ. You clearly think this is a good article. I don't. 😁
