You're making no sense. What makes you think he'd have got regular minutes here this season? SAA, Dibling and Meghoma suggest that he wouldn't. He'll find his level whether he stayed here or went there, he'll get better loan opportunities there, and make more money there. I'm not sure how anyone can credibly argue against that.

Dibling, SAA, Meghoma have barely had a sniff here in the championship. JJM will not get a sniff at Chelsea in the PL, and doubtless wouldn't have got a proper one here. He'll get proper money there, and access to the Chelsea network for loans at the right time. The move was a no brainer for the kid, and I don't agree that it's short term greed at all. If he failed here and his level is league 1, he'll end up there when his Chelsea dream ends.

Yep. I was more taken with her name, given that Golan is land occupied by Israel. I wonder where her votes will come from. Germany will be kind, we'll throw her a few, if Cyprus are there they'll lob a few (12 for Greece though). Be interesting to see what other countries do.

There I was desperately trying not to use the words true colours Del, and you tease it out of me:

Ffs, don't be daft. It's a thread about a specific country, and a specific situation. What's happening in Saudi is irrelevant. Top trolling though.

Yep. We wouldn't give him what other kids were getting, and Chelsea gave him what he wanted. Can't blame the kid for going, and he'll probably feel vindicated seeing how SAA, Dibling and Meghoma have been pushed to the sidelines.

You jest, and as much as I won't ever vote Tory, I've still got no idea what labours plan is. The sad thing is, there'll be plenty of dinlo's who look at this, and reducing inflation, and not stop to think who fecked it up initially.

Disgraceful. https://x.com/UNReliefChief/status/1788605114179072192

He needs to play and deserves to be more than just to be a squad player. Personally I hope he gets a move somewhere where he'll start.

Interesting move of it happens. I can't see him getting in the team ahead of Porro who's been great.

Agreed 100%. JWP has proven himself at the top level. Downes hasn't, but he offers no less around the pitch in open play than JWP, and probably more. The areas where JWP is streets ahead is the free kicks, and fitness. Downes seems a tad fragile for whatever reason. Had he been fit all season, I think the outcome may have been different.

Adjourn

True colours.

Yeah, it's that simple 🤦 Hostages, Palestinian state/freedoms, Israeli security, release of Palestinian "prisoners", etc need to be addressed. Not just hostaged. Come on Hypo, you need to look at all sides. Practice what you preach.

Meanwhile, in other news, Israel say that they'll deepen the war, whilst killing whoever gets in their way, until they get their way. https://aje.io/5cerl2?update=2885592 In more other news, a former Israeli diplomat has stated what's always been obvious, namely that Israel won't end the war. https://aje.io/5cerl2?update=2885585 In more other news, Hamas understandably want the release of the thousands of people held by Israel without charge. There's more to this than the hostages.

Nerve touched clearly in a post littered with irony, and your true colours highlighted. So you can respond however you like, but I can't. Fuck off. "Are you really incapable of differentiating between the content of a post and the attitude of the person posting it?". Unless you're trolling or playing to the audience, the posts reflect on the poster. You've formed a view of SoG, and me, and guess what poppet, I've formed one of you. It's cuts all ways Hypo, not just the way you want it to.

Effect

An outline of the 3 phases here. I'd be surprised if Israel agree to that. Phase 1 at a push, but that'll depend on the hostage release, and the Hamas expectations re prisoner release. https://aje.io/qzz5uf?update=2883303

You're not able to claim any moral high ground Duck. You're not islamaphobic. SoG isn't anti semitic. You have different views. There is nothing wrong in posting anti Israeli stuff in a thread about Israel and it's behaviour. It's on topic and relevant. The fact that it appears to conflict with your opinion doesn't make it wrong. What's wrong is your perception. Your use of laughing emojis about something that's not funny isn't clumsy. You don't deserve to be let off that lightly. It's deliberate and daft, you know that.

Hamas killed Israeli soldiers, in an apparent war between Hamas and Israel. They'll pick the easy targets. Anyway, you've not criticised Israel today, isn't that hypocritical on your assessment?

Bizarre. How many threads do you post on and debate for both sides of a discussion?! Nobody does. Don't be daft.

Bless. I was talking about the thread and his post. You were just joining in the little SoG slog. Bless.

Bizarre road to go down. Today started with a perfectly reasonable thread from SoG with no criticism of anyone on this thread. LD and Hypo then piped up like daft kids, a Mod then had a pop, then you, etc. The bloke has his moments, but feck me, the nonsense ain't from him today.
