Presumably they boo their own players, every single one of whom is a multi-millionaire and aren't in any way connected to the city?

No, that’s Rebekah Vardy.

Whatever your views on this case, you have to agree this probably wasn't the best choice of outfit.

The Republican dream in one photo. White Christians with guns and excessive breeding. Oh, that bit's easy. Extremist nutters on either side of the political Grand Canyon.

Where about is the crossover between being where you are on merit and being lucky that other teams are worse than you? Are Man City lucky there are 19 teams worse than them this year?

They will still stay up but that’s pretty funny.

For a few years, until they launch their next assault, and as I’ve already said the territory they do occupy will be anything but safe for the Ukrainians who live there. Who knows how many women will be rated and undesirables executed. Just because you aren’t fighting, doesn’t mean you’re safe.

Would have preferred them to win personally, to keep a bit of pressure on Everton.

Well yes, that’s the point. Ukraine has nothing to gain by ceding any territory to Russia, so why agree to any proposed Russian borders? There is no guarantee of any future peace, quite the opposite and any civilians who fall under this new area of Russian rule will likely suffer a desperate economic black hole, poverty, rape and a total violation of freedom.

Bugger, wanted Burnley to win that, unlikely though it is Everton could still go down.

Or just batter them to the point there is an open revolt against the government by the military. The more Russia has to scrape together conscripts and mercenaries, arming them with increasingly obsolete equipment, the worse the casualties will become. aint - Putin might want to launch a nuke but he’d need the military to do it. At that point he is effectively telling them we have half an hour until I turn all of our families into radio-active ash.

What, so Russia can build a nice starting base to launch their next wave of bloodshed in a few years? Russia is the one who will suffer from attrition, NATO can easily out-supply Ukraine with far superior weapons. Plus, Ukraine can (and needs to) go all in on this hand, they don’t have any other borders to worry about and protect. Russia now has a 1,300km border with Finland to worry about on top of B-52s sneaking over Alaska, whatever China are up to and everything else.

Russian TV is just Lavrov in front of a camera saying; ”12 points from Greece goes to… Russia!” ”12 points from Italy goes to… Russia!” ”30 points from Ukraine goes to… Russia!”

Typical, the one year we actually have a decent Eurovision entry.

Which particular law has been enacted by the royal family, which you feel contradicts the democratic process?

Yep, just like that. Sit there for months on open farmland in their crappy tanks, with little or no access to basic amenities, accommodation or tactical cover.

So to sum up; had we lost our last 15 games of the season, we might have been in danger of relegation? About as generic a statement as you could hope to make, which could easily be applied every season, to any club about 8th or below.

Luckily we haven't been arming Ukraine with British weapons, otherwise it'd all have been over in the first weekend.

Aren't you worried she might... 'dump'.... you?

I think it says something about how low expectations have fallen that in recent days I’ve seen people suggest we keep Shane Long and sign Jeff Schlupp and Jamaal Lascelles.

Again please!

Come on guys, this isn't even a debate...

Part of their problem is it’s blame game roulette, with everyone in the Kremlin chucking sh*te at each other like chimps in a zoo. Nobody wants to take the blame, intelligence blame the military, the military blame politicians, politicians blame intelligence and vice versa. When the music stops, so to speak, things could get messy; the (probably literal) backstabbing will be relentless.

The speculation in the gutter press today is that he has blood cancer. It’ll be interesting to see what does happen if and when he pegs it, who takes over and if there’s some sort of power struggle.
