Yep, although a knighthood feels a tad heavy. MBE territory for me, CBE on a good day. Surprised to not see some of the others not get anything. Kay Linnell played a big part.

I don't think he'll play much, or contribute much when he does. Some ain't focusing on the reality though, they're stuck in 2014.

I don't think the noise on here is a reflection of the wider fan base. You've only got to see the more sensible reaction elsewhere. You won't hear the club apologise for their part in what happened 10 years ago, and you won't hear him. It's done. He's grown up and the club is a different animal these days. The resentments are pathetic.

Sold!

Not a chance. Christmas this year would be an achievement.

I mostly agree with that, although if I'm Che, I'm not staying here. Wolves will probably still be in the PL for the duration of his contract. If he stays here, there's a decent chance he'll be playing championship football again next year. He may also want the Saudi money. He's gone.

Yep. He's bright, well prepped, speaks well, and has something about him. Possible future labour leader imo.

Yes to all 3 questions. What it also does is cause another financial black hole.

We're not them.

We're sitting ducks without nuclear weapons. The deterrent is vital imo.

Regardless of the human cost, or likely impact on negotiating a settlement? As pleasing as it was to see 4 hostages freed, almost 300 Palestinians and 3 Israeli hostages killed, and 700 + Palestinians injured, in the process somewhat dilutes the celebration.

Nope. But you do which I find odd.

My point was more the futility of resentment... poison for another which only harms you.

Yep... people are frothing at the mouth about him coming back, and he's probably kicking back on a sunbed somewhere with a Pina Colada oblivious to it. He doesn't give a fuck.

I'm always happy to talk about Cortese...pray tell your understanding of how that relates to Lallana leaving...my understanding is that Cortese had said that the club wouldn't stand in the way of him leaving...Cortese left, then the club did...

If only, but then you'd have to admit that you've got it wrong.

You either respect his gratitude, or you suspect he lacks sincerity. If it's the latter, you're undoubtedly swayed by the clubs stance.

To be fair, I'm all over Farage's desire to bring back coal mining and maximise our natural energy for our own benefit. He's a good lad on that front.

The reform policies of wanting to crank the personal allowances to £20k and pass the NHS to the private system are right wing policies, but that's not "far right" or "extreme right". If they wanted to round up all immigrants Idi Amin style then you'd have a point, but they ain't about that.

What part his ad in the echo was "arrogant"? Seems perfectly respectable to me, and showed a lot of gratitude for what the club and the fans had done for him.

Reform are not far right. The Tories have mostly moved right of centre and Reform are pretty much filling the gap to the right of them. Some of their policies will appeal to many, and as a left of centre man, I don't subscribe to many of their policies but I can see their appeal and certainly don't see them as some kind of neo nazi brigade. Abhorrent political views, left or right, are equally entitled to criticism.

4 more hostages freed which is great. Dozens killed and injured doing so including kids, not so great, but it would never have happened if the hostages had been released. This needs sorting sharpish. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd11z2j34k4o
