  1. He said if Baz wasn’t here he’d like to buy him. He’s either an idiot or a liar.

    Thank you. They want an escalation, they want other supportive countries and terrorist groups to rise up against Isreal. There’s absolutely no way they didn’t expect this response. As other posters have said, it’s killed any agreement/ closer ties with The Saudis & other Arab nations. Peace co operation with other states is pretty much dead in the water now. You can not put the genie back in the bottle, we are where we are, we can’t return to the 1940’s. Rightly, or wrongly, Isreal exists and will exist forever more. There can be no peace until Israel’s enemies accept that fact. No peace until they are willing to live alongside a Jewish state.

    Yes finally got out. The best bit of advice I’ve ever received was given to me on Saturday, “Book on El Al asap”. They were about the only ones leaving & there was mayhem at the airport. Sirens going off constantly was the most frightening thing I’ve ever suffered, genuinely terrifying as we made our way to safe shelter in airport. Thank fuck for the Iron Dome, because they were firing rockets at the terminals. Most frightening moments were on the bus from terminal 1 to terminal 3 (which takes about 20 mins) & when we were sat on a plane for an hour and a half before finally taking off. The airlines that cancelled were an absolute disgrace, not for cancelling I get why they did that, but their communication & customer service horrendous. Nobody had a fucking clue what was going on, the Israeli staff were superb, but overwhelmed. Nobody could speak to their airlines, didn’t know whether they needed to make their own way home, contact the consulate or sit tight. There were people who had flown in early Sat, who hadn’t left the airport & were trying to get back out. The screens on the seat in front had a airplane tracker on & when I woke up from a quick Kip & saw we were over Cyprus it was a moment of relief like I’ve never felt before. As for the conflict. No matter what has gone on before, this particular escalation is the fault of one group of people, Hamas. They are responsible for what is happening now. They knew what the Israeli Government’s response would be, and still went ahead with this barbaric attack on innocent people, including children, and the elderly. They actually wanted this response . When I dropped the hire car back the guy said something to me that sums it up. He said that if they can the Israeli forces will wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth. That if they could, they would murder every single Hamas member. However, Hamas would like to wipe Isreal off the face of the earth, and if they could, they would murder every single Jewish person. That is the profound difference between the sides in this conflict. If the Jewish people did ever give the land back to the Palestines, these fucking animals wouldn’t give up killing Jews. If every Israeli moved to The USA these animals would still try and murder them over there. I spoke to a lot of Israelis at the airport as there really was fuck all else to do. The general consensus was they don’t want revenge on the Palestinian people, they want revenge on Hamas. But accept innocent Palestinians are going to die in great numbers to get that revenge. They would rather innocents that have murderous animals living amongst them, die, than innocent Israeli’s die. I’m not debating the rights or wrongs of that, just giving you a little glimpse into the mindset of most Israelis I talked to.
  4. He’ll score a hatful in training if they are.
  5. Not when we’ve lost 4 in a row I fucking wouldn’t. It’s like saying “I’d take 2 putting on that green”, after taking 5 shots to get there. You certainly wouldn’t take 7 points from the last 7 games, any day of the week
  6. I read somewhere that because we use a different ball & it’s tied in to a sponsorship deal (I think it’s Nike but could be wrong) we cant use it. The ball we use hasn’t been authorised to use the chip needed and therefore we’d need to pay out to break the current ball contract, before using the ball that can put chip in. Don’t know if it’s true, & cant remember where I read it, but wouldn’t surprise me. Money rules everything in our game.
  7. Do think there has been one game he’s played in where the opposing supporters would have swapped keepers? He’s probably played against 40 different teams for us and I doubt one of those 40 sides wished he was in nets rather than their keeper. Not one.
  8. If he was nets for them, do you think we’d have won?
  9. I wasn’t there today, but by all accounts we had a lot of chances. A question for those that did see it. If you swapped keepers would the score still have been 1-1. As Baz’s fan boys don’t seem to like the “shots on target saved” stats, perhaps we could ask that particular question every week instead.
  10. If they can’t take a bit of clog, they can fuck off as far as I’m concerned. Go & play for Norwich or some other Noddy club

    The places we’ve visited have been beautiful. Can’t speak for where I haven’t been, but sea of Galilee pretty stunning, the Dead Sea is unique & the beaches are fantastic. Tel Aviv is a modern cosmopolitan city, really vibrant. We’ve had our first taste of trouble tonight, after spending all day on the beach. We were on a bus to the north of Tel Aviv & the siren sounded. Pretty frighting when it stopped & everyone legged it to the shelter, we just followed along. Stayed in there about 20 mins and then let out, so must have been false alarm. The host of the place we’re staying has advised us to book a flexible ticket on El Al as it looks like foreign airlines are cancelling flights. He said El Al & the US airlines are the best bet when it comes to getting out. If our flight is leaving we can cancel this option. He also said he’d lived in Israel since ‘79 and this is the worst trouble he’s known. He said there’s some horrific things going on & the Israeli’s will retaliate in a brutal & murderous way. He said this with an air of resignation, rather than agreement or revenge. Such a shame because the Jewish people we’ve met, particularly the young ones, have been tolerant, modern & extremely kind.

    Found out the reason for the non swimming rule. Just spoke to lifeguard walking along beach. She said they don’t want to be rounding up people out of the sea if the sirens go off & we have to get to the shelter. She said it’ll take too long. Flights still coming in and out of airport so snap dragon is talking of getting out of dodge a day earlier if possible. We’ve been here 10 days so 1 day isn’t really an issue.

    We’re actually here now. Sat on a beach 20 miles north of tel Aviv. Few helicopters flying overhead & armed army guys on the cliff tops (but they’ve been here everyday). The lifeguards keep making announcements in Hewbrew, bizarrely you’re not allowed to swim in the sea (you can paddle) or on a sun bed but other than that it’s normal. It’s quiet but it’s the sabbath & Jews aren’t allowed to pursue leisure activities on Sabbath. Last Sat was pretty quiet down here as well. We didn’t know anything about the bombs until our son messaged us. Israelis just taking it in their stride. Flying out Monday so fingers crossed.
  14. If Sunak did what Starmer wanted & stopped it at Old Oak Common, Soggy & other lefties on here would be moaning like fuck. He’s spent post after post claiming that Starmer is being sensible, but not to go into Euston is fucking ridiculous. Can you imagine the up roar if Boris did the same, wanted the track to end before his constituency, some of you would self combust
  15. Resigns😂😂😂😂 What’s his notice period?
  16. They were also shite for a couple of months that season, so it wasn’t “rabbit out of the hat” stuff his fan club like to claim. They lost home to Burnley, Brighton, Fulham & Everton as well as City & Chelsea in those 2 months. They also lost to Leicester away around that time, and the same season got dicked 7 at Villa. I don’t recall anyone else crying, perhaps they didn’t get covid or know anyone with covid as it only seemed to affect Ralph & his family. It was Noddy and was downhill after that. He’s now admitted he’s lost his desire, and people still want him back
  17. What do you think about Starmer wanting it to stop at Old Oak Common. His campaign against the building work in his constituency & how it’ll “upset” the lives of his constituents. It seems to me that he’s happy for it to go through other constituencies, but not his. If that was a Tory leader you’d be calling him all sorts, nimby probably being the politest.
  18. Starmer campaigned for it to end at Old Oak Common and actually claimed people could get into central London quicker from there than Euston. Of course when they thought the Tories were going to do exactly that, the Soggy’s of this world were up in arms. HS2 has been a fucking disaster, from New Labour & Adonis, through Cameron & Osborne to Boris. Pinkos fucking it right up.
  19. Imagine what it would be like under Michael Foot or Jeremy Corbyn . An anti semitic old fool, who would have made the racist Abbott Home Secretary, and Foot, who actually had a manifesto commitment to leave The EEC. Those were the alternatives that Soggy preferred, we wouldn’t have needed Nigel, Soggys choice would have had us out years before.

  21. His fan club on here are quick to point out ones that aren’t mistakes, but that’s not the main criticism on here. We are constantly pointing out that he’s not expected to save them all, but some would be nice. For every 10 that werent mistakes last season, I reckon a decent keeper would have saved 3 of them at least. I’ve never seen a keeper with weaker hands, never seen one beaten so much after getting his hand to an effort. Lots of his goals are in the “should he have done better” bag for my liking, and I’m not seeing any “how did he save that” saves yet.
  22. He was probably working on other things, like getting us out of the whole rotten corrupt thing. He spent years and years going up and down the country, fighting elections he had no chance of winning, giving speech after speech, attending conference after conference, all to get us out of The EU. When he started it was a small minority issue & it was inconceivable we’d get a referendum let alone vote to leave. Along with The Great Lady & Blair he’s been the most influential person in politics the past 50 years. The fact he did it outside of Parliament is testimony of his hard work and dedication to the cause. When you think, great Parliamentarians like Tony Benn couldn’t get us out, to have done so as an outsider is quite remarkable. The easy & lazy thing for him to have done is hitched his wagon to the Tory party, got a safe seat & joined Bill Cash & his motley crew in talking about leaving, but doing fuck all about it.
  23. He’s getting better all the time , but as John Lennon wrote “it can’t get no worse”.
  24. Wolves were the biggest whingers last season. Constantly moaning and demanding apologies, including Leminas red at our place. From the athletic “After 10 months of ranting and frustration, of Sunday apologies from Howard Webb, the head of referees’ body the PGMOL, of friendly chats, less friendly chats, angry conversations and letters of complaint, Wolves have simply given up hoping for better.” The Liverpool decision was horrendous. There’s no doubt a large proportion of our fan base would be demanding a reply had that happened to us. I’d hope the club would show more class than they have, but our supporters would be exactly the same. Some still bang on about Gabbi’s goal fucking years ago.
  25. 😂😂😂 Funniest post for months.
