I'm not convinced that Danny Wallace was ever properly replaced, and we may as well have shut up shop when we sold Rodney.

You've proved that more goals have been scored. Not how or why. I think it's no more than tactics have changed and the game is now more open with more players joining the attack. Nutrition etc is relative - all players gain any advantage that gives - not just strikers. Anyhow, none of this alters that big Baz let's in shots he should be stopping.

Granted, a keeper's role is different if the team play with the keeper as a kind of sweeper or ball player, but fundamentally they still do what they always have. You've lost me on strikers being different though.

Tough game today, but I fancy us for a close win, and for Ipswich to draw. Would be great to be a point off Ipswich with better goal difference. Also love that almost all the games have a 3.00 kick off on the same day. Nice.

Or a nerf gun. Or black pepper - that works.

Is it in pea shingle?

Yep. Disgraceful.

Of course. Iranian help and weapons is alway a proxy. Western help and weapons is just business.

I started this thread back in the summer when things were hotting up, and as Guterres says, this didn't happen in a vacuum. Not sure about the Russian link though, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

That's on a good day. Days like today he's worse. Get him gone in January.

There's every chance that he would he prefer a promotion push over a relegation fight. Let's see what happens, but I think this rumour has legs.

Bodysnatcher

I just want a window where we bring in a striker who's good enough, fits our style, and is fit to play.

Exactly this. Great movement from a striker at this level is a game changer. If he's fit, he'll make a massive difference for us.

Seem to be - If it moves, shoot it; If it stands, bomb it.

The number keeps falling...1400, then 1200, then 1140. That said, whatever the number, Hamas are scum but the current Israeli behaviour won't see them off.

7/10 was the reason Israel needed to justify to itself what it has done/is doing, but it wasn't the start of things. Everyone expected a response, but I'm not sure anyone expected the scale of the destruction that we've seen. Regardless, the point is that a) there's no self defence, that's bollox, and b) Hamas as an entity won't be defeated, and nor will their ideology. Israel know that. What's also noticeable is how those who kept saying that Israel would happily live alongside the Palestinians have kept quiet after the Israeli's latest sprees in the west bank, and their objection to the creation of a Palestinian state.

Those lads wouldn't have died if the soldier didn't shoot at anything that moved. Absolutely laughable though that the IDF expect anyone to believe that the soldier acted against the Israeli rules of engagement.
