We should recognise Chechnya as an independent nation and "allow" them to host "training exercises" with them.

Because the results are disproportionately skewed in terms of good and bad last season. If our remaining 13 fixtures were indicative of our average form from last season, we’d have finished comfortably second on 82 points. I think if the comparison drops from +16 to around +10 and we end on 53 points, that’ll be decent. Still a challenging 21 point target from 13 games.

This popped up on my twitter feed 'recommended topics', or whatever it's called. I've not been following Tiss for a year or two now but it would seem it's not just COVID, he's full on, broad-spectrum loony.

I think playing Moi was initially born out of necessity. Armstrong was injured and nobody else has looked good in that wide 10 position. Redmond has been better recently but Walcott, Tella and Djenny have done nowhere near enough.

That's basically the point though, it's a parody of cringey stand up routines, crashing and burning. John Thomson is generally very funny, IMO.

Looks about right to me. Imagine placing four way PL accumulator on Saints to beat West Ham, Leicester to beat Man City, Brighton to beat Liverpool and Villa to beat Everton, in the same weekend. That's about the likelihood of Saints winning the FA Cup this year. If anything 25-1 seems short. 10-1 for Everton seems absurd.

Got a mate who works at the Longleat site, was chatting to him about it only this morning. Trees down everywhere apparently, a right mess.

Didn’t Charlie Austin hold the previous record for that non-performance at Fulham a few years back?

It was a perfect hat trick too, right foot, header, then left foot. 🤣

I don't think United will be too happy with signing £35m Varane, £70m Sancho and Christiano Ronaldo to once against finish 20+ points behind City.

Eighth time they’ve conceded three or more goals this season. Liverpool and Spurs next, Arsenal, City and Chelsea still to play.

Leeds' strikers must feel like England's test bowlers.

Leeds can’t defend to save their lives. Look pretty likely to make it three goals conceded for a third consecutive match.

Not another game but it seems like a wonderful advert for the city of Manchester.

That’s only of limited use if you only have access to money within Russia and can only spend it there and in sympathising countries. If, the US and EU banned all exports to Russia, for example, similar to the situation with Iran; the oligarchs are going to be none too impressed. The ladies there are also extremely nice. I don’t know if we will be taking in refugees if Russia invades but I’m a very humanitarian kinda guy.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea for me.

I've already seen the Sky highlights on YouTube a couple of times. Watching Bohemian Rhapsody instead.

I have a feeling Allan was probably on a last warning anyway and would have been treading on eggshells the rest of the game. Gomes was completely outclassed but I can't see how keeping Allan on would have helped. Team full of brides. Too many chiefs and no Indians.

Still not buying that, his touch is generally poor and he's frequently offside. He may have had a couple of decent cameos against crap Everton and Swansea sides but he does very little to trouble most teams in this league.

Cracking performance all round. Absolutely bossed it in midfield, JWP and Romeu were immense. Can't really pick out a bad performance from any of them, everyone played their role well. Everton were crap but they'll do enough at Goodison to stay up.

F**k me, the traffic in town.

I can't see it not happening. Saddening to think how many innocent Ukrainians are about to die because of some crackpot fantasist and his Soviet delusions. I just hope we go in hard with the economic sanctions.

Just the one panel for me, but it was on the way out anyway. Gazebo still fully intact, which proves I'm more manly than the amateurs who built the Millennium Dome. 😎

If they can't fly, they'll get a coach and I'd be pretty surprised if they hadn't already planned on that anyway, given the forecast.
