I believe Glasgow had £5 on Putin, but he cashed out for £374, before the result was announced.

It is but with Osvaldo you can’t help but wonder how many of his problems could have been averted but not acting like a monumental w*nker his whole life. He probably wouldn’t feel half as empty and lonely if he hadn’t spent the best years of his life getting women pregnant, walking out on them and apparently having nothing to do with the kids.

I was thinking more Penny, Priti, Palin and Begum.

A keeper as good as Pickford may have kept us up last season, as he did for Everton, but we’re talking about a a very good keeper and a very big maybe. You’re basically talking about one very good player bailing out a lot of crap ones, we’d still have had an awful team with two terrible managers. This season Baz has been very good and there’s no other realistic Championship option we’d be doing better with. He has strengths and weaknesses, just like anyone else, but overall performs well at this level. For some reason people talk as if he’s making howlers every couple of games and never makes a decent save.

It lookes like we can add Holly Valance to the list of hot, right wing women.

Good, so we should. The only thing a crackpot like Vlad understands is strength, If we sent in peacekeepers as far as Kharkhiv, Dnipro and Odessa, Ukraine's safety and Sovereignty would be secure.

You might want to speak to Stoke, Blackburn and Swansea fans about the reality of that.

Because we had Sully, Edozie, SAA, Fraser, AA, Stu, Alcaraz, Mara and Adams all vying for four spots in the team. We were always going to have to ship a couple out.

On the plus side, we are going to get some good news about Hitler in a couple of weeks.

Good to see we're not repeating the mistakes we made with Delgado. Happy birthday Nige!

Clearly an absolute crackpot, although the guy who made the video is also something of an obsessive weirdo; trying to make a conspiracy which is nothing to do with Brexit about Brexit.

Amazing how Everton haven’t won a league game for three months and still aren’t looking like getting relegated.

Whilst that's not untrue, pretty much every team can say the same thing. If Leicester had hung on to their lead at Leeds and beaten QPR at home, they'd be 12 points clear of third.

And yet he’s right. Regardless of our league positions, I can guarantee the message boards of both those teams will be going radio rental after this weekends games.

Leicester were a good 7 or 8 points ahead and just needed a draw from their last couple of games anyway, so that was hardly a bottle job. What was ten times funnier was that they lost at home to us the following week, then got spanked by relegated Newcastle and overtaken by Arsenal on the last day of the season.

No, he means you literally can’t get in, the fire brigade have closed off the access roads.

I’ll admit to not being the best person at picking up nuance and subtle hints, but if I came home from work and the GF had built a scud missile with, “die Lighthouse scumbag c**t!” Written on the side, I’d probably say, “you’re mad at me, aren’t you princess?”

So in summary… Iran: Death to Israel!!!! Me: I think they want death to Israel. You: You’re absolutely bonkers.

Watching the Leeds game on Sky, they’re 4-0 down after 13 minutes. Sadly it’s the rugby league.

I don’t know what to say to that, I genuinely can’t get my head around such an astonishing amount of denial. This is a country with the death penalty for gays, blasphemy and women who refuse to cover their hair and obey the commands of their masters. The state will willingly execute their own citizens for all manner of trivial misdemeanours. Fellow Muslims in their own country, who just aren’t quite Muslim enough and in the correct way. And you think it’s completely unfathomable that they’d want to wipe out the so called ‘sub-human scum, occupiers of god-given Arab land’?

Yep. Yep. Nope. They’re Islamist nutters. You’re doing the whole, "they must think like a western, liberal democracy," thing again. I don’t have a belief on this, other than the stated fact that this is a centuries old religious grievance, with two tribes fighting over the same land. I don’t support one any more than the other. Israel is winning because their military is really good and Hamas’ is crap. If it was the other way around life would be just as bad, if not worse, for the Israelis.

I can’t say I’ve seen any particular support for Israel, just people repeatedly trying to explain to you why the situation is the way it is, whilst you and others try and insist that things should be different. Israel already has enough people ten times over who want the entire nation wiped off the face of the earth, just for existing. Just for being a Jewish state which exists on what they see as Arab land. This already includes the Iranian government trying to build nuclear warheads and ICBMs with ‘death to Israel’ written on the side. Saying, "they’re just going to create more terrorists," is pretty much a moot point to them, it’s of no consequence. This whole angle of ‘it’s actually in Israel’s best interests to do the thing that I want them to do’ is not altogether that convincing.

Why does it have to be an absolute? Israel isn’t going to create a utopia here but they can go a long way towards protecting their own interests for many years to come.

Because they’re there and they’re refugees. There’s no point talking about ‘logical solutions’ which clearly aren’t actually happening.
