Because that’s what egos do. We’ve all worked with some kn*bhead who was sh*t at his job but also thought it was beneath him and he needed to move on upwards.

It does make you wonder how important you need to be to get assassinated, rather than murdered.

You couldn't pay me to stand behind a politician at one of these rallies for precisely this reason.

He won player of the season in a year when everyone was terrible and he played well for half a season. This was followed by 45 minutes in an England shirt for a friendly. He was once alright for six months, six years ago. I don't think he's a better keeper, the majority of his time here people have been desperate for him to be replaced.

Even if you ignore Fourpast, I’d take Bazunu over Gazzaniga, Stekelenburg, McCarthy, Blayney, Bart and probably Kelvin. I want to say Moss too but I have no recollection of ever seeing him play for us.

Quite clearly not true, I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove with hysterics.

They look like they’re having a pyjama party.

We don't make it easy for ourselves, keep playing the middle overs like it's a county game. Fair play to Benny, dragging us out of that. One great, three wicket over from Wheal but Turner was again well off it. With no Baartman, it looks like we're just going to coast through the rest of our fixtures.

I'm aware of that, thank you. Sadly I'm struggling to think of UK chart hits which actually features the lyric, 'sugawara'.

Finally getting the recognition I deserve!

TBH I'd always assumed that was likely even if we were promoted, so it's hardly a surprise. If anything surprised me it's that he stayed last season, so if he leaves it'll be with my best wishes. Anyway, now let's get cracking on some 'sugar' based songs for the new guy.

TBH I actually quite like the colour of the fake/mock-up above. I’d be more concerned that the sponsor is a great big white, stuck on, plastic splodge, which doesn’t match the kit at all.

I watched bits of it. You have to say it’s been a dreadful tournament for McD and Turner. Wheal I can forgive to an extent, he’s an average squad player having to fill in when required. Oh well, we were due a bad season in the Blast. Need to do our homework on a couple of new overseas players for next year I think.

That’s a foul outside the box.

I wouldn’t say, “all the cards,” as such either. Clearly there is an advantage to them with the contract lengths but everything else is still in play. They risk KWP losing interest and taking a deal elsewhere, whilst we will have options other than Downes. Overall is say £15m each is probably a fair price.

Those are the key words there. What they’ll admit to knowing, who they were really after and how they knew they were there, we’ll never know.

Yes but in Gaza there is actually likely to be some merit in what the IDF are saying. Knowing the way all three of those organisations operate I'd say it's possible, bordering on likely that: Hamas deliberately places militants in schools and hospitals The IDF will go after them, not giving a f**k who gets hurt. Russia is quite happy to blow up a hospital full of children with cancer with no military objective, simply because they're c**ts. Who (and how many) the IDF were actually after we will probably never know.

Trump doesn’t lead to a negotiated settlement. Trump leads to a weaker Ukraine and Russian success on the battlefield.

They’re in a weird paradox where their games get progressively easier as they go on. Germany were the next best team in the tournament, that game should have been the final. If they make it to the final, Eng/Ned are both worse than France.

Neither side would agree to anything remotely close to that. Ukraine won’t concede any territory as being legally Russian and Russia wouldn’t give the rest of it back and allow a stack of NATO troops to occupy it.

We’ll have a whole range of potential targets in every position, precisely so that we don’t get ‘bent over a barrel’. We’ll probably be willing to pay a little bit extra for FD because he’s a known quantity but we won’t be throwing silly money at him.

No doubt we have looked at him. He could be a good buy or he could just be a very good Championship player, it’s hard to say.

So your solution is basically that Russia gets everything that it’s taken so far, Ukraine gets nothing any Russia just gets to attack all over again when they’ve spent a couple of years reorganising. I can’t for the life of me see Ukraine agreeing to that.

An indefinite stalemate. North and South Korea are still technically at war, the front line just ground to a halt at the current demilitarised zone. The west stops backing Ukraine, they run out of weapons and Russia occupies the whole country. The west keeps helping Ukraine, Russia eventually runs out of weapons from its allies and gets pushed back to their own borders. NATO/EU membership is then pursued with more rigour. Which of these outcomes transpires will mostly be a question of western appetite to support Ukraine.
