However shit we are still a great feeling waking up knowing will be off to pub and then game with full crowd and away fans. Fuck Covid not to mention my ‘transformational customer journey’

Listening to Obama’s memoirs audio book and just got to chapter on Afghanistan and interesting that felt wasted first 7 years of occupation by not having coherent strategy to overhaul infrastructure, equip army etc. Also Biden as VP very consistent in let’s get out of there approach and Pentagon loathed him

This thread is about US withdrawing. Saying what else could we (UK) do is not the debate. good analysis piece here: https://news.sky.com/story/a-stain-on-the-west-the-story-of-how-the-greatest-military-force-ever-assembled-abandoned-afghanistan-12386720

Have you watched or read any news in the last week? Maybe you consider it all ‘noise’?

In the article you gave up reading?

I find it so stupid people constantly referring to him as a ‘war criminal’ like militant sixth form students as if these lot in power have scruples and principles so superior to those of the big bogey man Blair. You don’t have to be his biggest fan to recognise his wisdom. Compare it to many Labour MP responses which are often idiotic and idealistic hence don’t have resonance with ordinary voters.

Don’t think anyone is saying stay there on our own but fact that withdrawal has been hugely mismanaged hence lead news story for over a week now.

The fucker is going bald.

Blair is much smarter than Biden https://institute.global/tony-blair/tony-blair-why-we-must-not-abandon-people-afghanistan-their-sakes-and-ours

Have they got James Richardson doing it? Legend of a host

Indeed - I can moan about the missus but don’t you dare

Palace went above us today

I thought Southern Brave women were meant to be good? 12 for 5

It is funny how much we hate pundits predicting relegation when most of us think v likely.

Portsmouth missed a pen. So sad

Too right - them and Palace. Norwich have gone!

We need Newcastle to get fucked though so Ings goal ok

They could at least keep ticket office open 24/7 until tomorrow. If I ran that operation would hang my head in shame. Probably wouldn’t keep my job either. Shitshow also someone should be walking the queue advising of mobile ticket options

Surely makes sense to be an merger/acquisition? Same with Pap’s lot. I am a lazy fucker and only visit here.

Don’t know if true but….

I have been waiting years for us to sign this fella. Brilliant news

Just saw that Rory Stewart interview. Impressive and spot on.

Yeah why give a fuck about this as you haven’t solved that? Don’t believe in charity either as all goes to warlords. Beggars in streets go home in a Porsches etc. I think it is hugely hypocritical how western governments don’t hold countries like Saudi, Russia, China to account and wish we would do more.

All but two out of group of around ten of our group had theirs by yesterday.

America look a lot weaker but Biden is happy. The news cycle will move on. I liked Biden before this but can’t stand him now - something about this I don’t know why really. Maybe all the emotional stories. Still fuck empathy let’s think about GDP.
