I think it'll be loan kids to support the experience we'll be left with. If we get 4 new starters I'll be amazed.
-
First part, absolutely. Second part, no. That is not all.
-
Asking that question misses the point. We've become a stepping stone club for players capable of bigger and better. To get those players, we have to sell them when a half decent offer comes in. That's our reality.
-
Us needing new players is obvious, but it's not obvious that we'll get them. There's a very real prospect imo that we rely on Baz in goal, and BBS, AA and Fraser as our 3 behind. I wouldn't want to start the season with Quarshie personally. I'd rather we partnered Edwards with an experienced player. Whatever the fans want, that'll probably be Stephens.

Trump now suggesting that Canada supporting a Palestinian state threatens a US/Canada trade deal. Wow. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2lkp8rlenxt?post=asset%3A14d36e90-1299-4ca3-b4fd-219f7261b956#post If Hamas are taken out of the equation, what reasonable objection can there be to a Palestinian state?
-
Surely The governance of a state is different to recognising the state itself? It makes no sense to have an official policy of supporting a 2 state solution, but only recognise 1 state. That's a contradiction. It's possible to address both issues: we recognise the Palestinians right to statehood, and recognise the West Bank (without settlements)/East Jerusalem/Gaza as the Palestinian state, but do not agree with it's right to self governance in Gaza whilst there is an armed and ruling Hamas presence. It's academic though as the US will never get on board, and Israeli will continue to tell the world in one breath that they're fighting Hamas, but in the next breath say that they can't live next door to Palestinians and do all they can to force all of them out of a decimated land.
-
Yep. And £4m ISH in saved wages. Decent business for a lad who was always going to move when went down.
-
I'm with you in the 2nd paragraph, but unless I'm mistaken, this suggests that we will not recognise a Palestinian state if there's a ceasefire and the other conditions are met. The right thing to do is to support a Palestinian state, and insist on a ceasefire plus other requirements.
-
I think the point was that there's no solution to people choosing not to crystallise gains if they don't have to. People can only delay for so long though so my guess is that we may have a dip until people accept that they can't kick the can down the road indefinitely. The increase in the BADR tax rate was long overdue, and was so ridiculously easy to abuse.

20 years ago I wouldn't given the cocky idiots my money. Now I wouldn't because I've seen them both live, and for me, they're bang average live performers and i'd imagine it'd be full of coked up idiots in stone island.
-
Yep, the right weights done well should strengthen the core. Shouldn't be a need for sit-ups and the like.
-
Ha!! It's all good wholesome stuff. Add in doing someone else a good turn and not telling anyone, and that's a reasonably solid platform.

Trump yesterday. Is he wrong? 'Trump also claimed that illegal migration was an "invasion" which was "killing Europe". He said: "Last month, we (the United States) had nobody entering our country. Nobody. Shut it down. And we took out a lot of bad people that got there with (former US president Joe) Biden. "Biden was a total stiff, and what he allowed to happen.... but you're allowing it to happen to your countries, and you've got to stop this horrible invasion that's happening to Europe; many countries in Europe. "Some people, some leaders, have not let it happen, and they're not getting the proper credit they should. "I could name them to you right now, but I'm not going to embarrass the other ones. "But stop: this immigration is killing Europe."'
-
Yep. Sadly the number of kids looking like that will increase daily. Enough is more than enough.
-
Nice idea. I'm going for a link of two crap players. Tadanari Lee (Todd).
-
Is this intended as irony?
-
Hmm. I'm not sure that you can never again complain when SoG posts about posters rather than the subject. Unnecessary.
-
Good players, but I'm sticking with Kevin Keegan. One of the best players to wear the shirt, and hands down our biggest signing.
-
Jesus wept. That's a stretch of a stretch. Of course the mess isn't all on Maggy, but the origins were right to buy/lack of replacement stock/provision for a growing population.
-
It's a tad ridiculous to blame a government who've had a year of shit mopping up for the social housing situation. Even her biggest fans would have to concede that the issue began with Thatcher allowing the sale of stock and not replacing it. I suspect Labour would love to be able to knock up large housing estates like we saw back in the day, but we're skint and that's not happening.
-
Where do you get £14 per hour from? Regardless, they did a deal a last year and were happy with it so the issue can only be about the appropriate year on year raise. There needs to be a deal asap. I've got a mate who's in a senior role at a large local hospital. They're in the shit financially, and managed to save £250k to help them out of a hole. Covering the strikes wipes out those savings. There's no sympathy for them amongst the consultants, and hopefully the public too.

Gerry Forrest Nathan Redmond John Beresford James Bree Yan Valery Wayne Thomas And the legend that never was, Jay Lucas.

Yep. Especially as Caroline was an 11 year old. Horrible song.
