You partly answer your own question at the end. A tanking pound in our import led economy means we're importing inflation. If oil prices were frozen tomorrow, and the pound drops another 10% on the dollar, that's another 10% oil inflation right there. We need to stop the pound falling otherwise the inflation fight becomes more difficult.

Our boy Edozie scored and played 70 mins in an England u20 win today. The report suggests he was pretty involved. https://www.englandfootball.com/articles/2022/Sep/21/england-mu20s-chile-pinatar-match-report-20222109

What's with all the Fonte/Puel bollox?

Discussion with made up stuff isn't a hybrid of anything, it's just making shit up cos you're desperate. I'll leave it there pal, enjoy your evening.

We agree to differ mate. If I have a failing employee, I say goodbye, I don't keep them around the place. If I have a girlfriend who does my head in, I don't keep her around the place until I get I nee one. Your logic is negative.

We've been shit for well over a year. We've employed some shocking tactics. We've put out some batshit crazy teams. He rarely plays our best team. We're shit. He's shit.

Blimey. I thought you were getting desperate before. Now you're just fecking idiotic.

You're losing me pal. I've said nothing about other teams being bad. You've made that up just like your daft claim that people are calling for Dyche. You're in a minority, but getting desperate doesn't aid your argument. It's silly to suggest that we absolutely must stick with him until we line up a new man, and that no fan can call for his head until they can identify a replacement.

How he's failing has been done to death. You're in the minority. He's shit and needs to go. I have no idea who could replace him. Selecting a new man ain't my job.

Two issues. One. You can't see Ralph failing. I and many others do (note the vote). Two. It's not 'ridiculous' to only remove someone when you have a replacement. What is ridiculous is to hang on to someone who you want to replace (and who probably knows he's being replaced) until you've lined up a replacement.

Who? I've not read one post suggesting Dyche as a replacement for Ralph.

Perhaps, or someone else, but IF it's now, it wouldn't surprise me that it's to secure someone quickly

Who are these Sean Dyche fans of whom you speak?

Yep. It makes no sense to me. A manager who is failing needs to go regardless of who's available to replace him.

So rumour has it.

I think it's naive to believe that we'll never see a nuclear weapon again used in anger. I am also unsure that the use of a tactical nuke against a non NATO country would be met with a nuclear response. And Putin ain't Gorbachev - you're comparing a lion to a kitten.

It's a parallel of sorts though, and we'd all hope that history would repeat itself. This feels altogether different to Afghanistan though, and having thrown the kitchen sink at it, it's hard to see him walking away shrugging his shoulders if he gets a kicking. Interesting times.

Logic says that's correct. However, let's assume he gets a kicking after this partial mobilization. What then? Walk away and accept defeat?

That's the narrative we all believe Whitey, and it's what's prevented Armageddon for the last almost 80 years. I sincerely hope that the resolve of the west is not tested.
