Only thanks to Apple Pay I can prove I was in Bondi area recently . Unless of course you think I got a random stranger to screen shot me his transactions. -
Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES
Lord Duckhunter replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
Got friends & family in Bondi, know that shopping centre pretty well as I drunk regularly in the Rooster Rugby club bar which is next door. Large Jewish community around there, so I’d imagine that’s why it was targeted. -
One of the main reasons 7/10 happened was because Hamas/Iraq was becoming increasingly concerned with the normalisation of relationships between Israel & other Arab nations, particularly Saudi Arabia. Don’t take my word for it, listen to R4 briefing room & an expert on Hamas terror gives that a significant factor. Let’s face it, they were right to be concerned as Arab nations don’t give much more of a fuck about Palestinians than Israel do. Therefore it’s arguable that a more moderate Israeli Government would have been further down the line on this path. He also said that Hamas hate PA, so would they really have the West Bank as the main motivation.

You’ve jumped the shark now. I’d wager there’s a higher % of Israeli’s in favour of a 2 state solution than there is in Palestine. In factor I wouldn’t bet against “final” being above “2 state” if you asked the Palestinian population what the solution is.

What’s his passing stats?

Yeah, comparing 2 managers records in league 1 is exactly the same as comparing records in the Scottish premier league & the English premier league.

A poll at this stage of the season is ridiculous. The blokes a cock, brought in to deliver promotion. If he does that, there’s no debate. If he doesn’t, then that’s the time for a poll & I’ll probably be in the “fuck off” camp. Hopefully I can have both, he gets us up and Brighton are so impressed with that incredible achievement they pay us a large wedge of compo for him. Fuck me, with him & Lallana in the dressing room, they’ll need new hair dryers & mirrors fitted.

The interesting thing is when you are comparing Martin’s time in league one, to Selles’ so far, it’s not particularly great for Martin. In his first full season, (and with the benefit of half the previous season to settle in) Russball had 18 wins & 11 draws. Selles in his first season (without the benefit of half the previous season) has 15 wins & 10 draws with 3 to play. In conceivable that by the end of the season Selles will have a couple of wins less than him & be around the same mid table position, with an absolute basket case of a club, probably the worst run club in the FL. And no, I don’t want Selles back to manage us, but martins record at the levels he managed at is on par or if not worse, than Jones & Selles. It just shows how fucking average he has been in his career so far. Let’s hope he has a “higher ceiling” than jones or Selles had, but people comparing him to those 2 aren’t shining the favourable light on him they think they are.

Our unbeaten run reminds of the glorious 12 hours when we were top of the league. In the context of the season, it means absolutely fuck all, but it got our Noddy element excited & the adolescent muppets who run or social media department made twats of themselves. File it under “who gives a fuck”, alongside a mid table side’s 148 pass goal a couple of years ago. The only unbeaten run that matters now is 3 games at the end of May.

I don’t think people are saying that had jones stayed, got relegated, somehow kept his job, we’d now be in the play off places. I think what they’re saying is had Jones come in when Martin did and straight from Luton, he’d probably get this squad to the play offs as well. I don’t think anybody thinks he should be managing us, or anybody thinks he did anything other than a hopeless job when he did. But the fact remains he did a better job at Luton than Lego did at MK Dons & Swansea.

It wasn’t that good, our possession stats weren’t good enough & we lacked bravery where it mattered. Fuck me, Shilton even used to boot most goalkicks straight up the pitch & don’t get me started on our fullbacks, unbelievably they didn’t ever drift into centre midfield.
-
It is fucking simple. There is a “best team” KWP is in it, Janny B & THB are centre halves in it & Fucking Jack Stephens doesn’t play his pound shop John Stones role. Adam Armstrong doesn’t play centre forward in it just because he pesters you to do so. Not only does it make AA less effective it also means you’re dropping a bloke who scored a couple lately.The fact you don’t know your best team in mid April is pretty damning imo. You should know your best 11 by now & then rotate around it dependant on who is available.

Exactly. 8th is 8th & play offs are play offs. Stating we’d be in second in other seasons doesn’t make RussBall anymore more successful, 4th is just 4th.
-
Fucking hell. If you’re one of the best 2 teams in the division, you’ll get promoted. Points totals from other seasons are irrelevant, you’re playing different fucking teams. Leagues are weaker some years, stronger others. Nobody denies Leicester were deservedly champions despite getting less points than Liverpool did finishing second in another year. 8th is 8th & 4th is 4th. People twisting that because it doesn’t suit their opinion of managers is pretty pathetic really. Bring the 4th best team this season with this squad of players is no big deal, regardless of how many points you get. Fuck me, I remember 2 promotions from this league and haven’t got the foggiest idea how many points we got, it’s irrelevant.

It’s laughable that you give credit to Martin for getting Southampton into a play off place, whilst refusing to give Jones any for doing the same with Luton.
-
Where have a said that? I seriously think you need educating on the difference between “Jewish people” & Isreali people. If I started discussing Jamaica and started saying “black people” this and “black people” that, I’d quite rightly be called a racist. You seem incapable of understanding what you’re doing wrong, the fact you continue to do it, together with the way you appear to revel in your ignorance, is pretty disturbing imo.

The last full season at Luton he got them in the play offs, which is exactly where Russball has taken a far better Saints squad. I wouldn’t be so sniffy about 9th either, it’s a higher finish that Martin achieved in 2 seasons at Swansea. He also got Luton to 2nd in lesgue 1 something Russ couldn’t manage at MK Dons

No, it makes you a fucking weirdo.

The mask slips again. Bit of advice. It would have been better to have written “Israelis are just as accountable for their actions as everyone else”.
