I really didn’t see much wrong with Gardos, I was more than happy with him, Fonte, Yoshi and Toby as our CB options. Anyway, welcome Lyanco; as obscure as this signing may be, let’s hope someone, somewhere has been doing their homework.

Travel will make up the lions share of that.

I think we’re alright. Mali and Ghana aren’t currently on the red list, we’ve not got anyone else from outside Europe.

Snowdon doesn’t hold any appeal for me whatsoever. Of all the places I might choose to go walking, a peak which is crammed with tourists, has half hour queues for the summit and even a tram going up to the top isn't one of them. I know people do it to say they’ve been to the highest peak but if there’s a cafe at the top where pensioners can buy an egg custard, saying that loses some of its gravitas.

I'll never forget his birthday - 20 years old when he scored in the JPT final. Fair play to him, I was gutted we never got to sign him permanently in League 1. I remember everyone singing, "sign him up!" when he scored against us in a friendly after going back to Reading.

Another good example of the difference between being woke and being liberal. A liberal would want anyone to be given an opportunity, regardless of race, religion or sexual persuasion. Woke is thinking people from ethnic minorities need help because they can't understand the difference between racism and the colour of a t-shirt.

Okay, you’ve had some fun, give it a rest.

What do you mean, it’s one of our two default results when we play United at home; that or 2-3.

Worth pointing out we were hopeless with 3-5-2 a couple of years ago and it wasn’t until we moved away from it that results started to improve. That opening game away at Burnley was a particular lowlight. There’s no magic formula, horses for courses.

Never happened, Chad Kroeger refused to go on stage.

Yes, I’ll never forget that goal that went through Taibi’s legs.

That throw to get Livingstone out.

Having a second interweb forum is like having a second football club or wife. You guys are dead to me.

This isn’t some distant conflict, in unfamiliar territory against the Japanese Imperial Armed Forces. This is pockets of local militia with basic firearms, little infrastructure or organisation. It’s easy to sit behind a keyboard and look hard but I think I’d probably prefer to die fighting the Taliban, rather than wait three weeks for my whole family to be dragged out into the street and beheaded.

This has to be one of my all time favourite panel show clips, the way Jimmy just cuts him off. He did seem ill at the time, I just assumed he had a cold/flu.

Absolutely loved him on Cats does Countdown. The chemistry between him, John, Jimmy, Suzie and Rachel was always hilarious. Gutted to hear he was taken, far too young.

Tiresome is continually bickering about inane nonsense on threads which could otherwise be fairly interesting. It’s got nothing to do with whether anyone is left or right leaning. If you are so strongly opposed to people with right wing views, it should be easy for you to prove them wrong with facts, information and well structured argument. Instead we get… this. I merged the threads because it was basically the same topic but with your little jibe thrown in. With hindsight I should have just locked it because it was only ever going to end with all the posts which are now in this thread.

The Quran does state that if a man lies with another man he shall surely be stoned.

It could be argued that the Taliban eased off somewhat on their insurgency to encourage coalition forces to withdraw. Had we made it known we were in it for the long haul, they’d probably redouble their efforts against our troops.

Well, yes but this is a thread about formation so it’s about as good as we can do with what’s available.

I have two thoughts, either: Forster KWP/Liv - Bednarek - Salisu - Perraud JWP - Romeu Tella - Armstrong - Armstrong Adams Or: Forster KWP/Liv - Bednarek - Salisu - Perraud JWP - Romeu - Diallo Redmond - A. Armstrong - S. Armstrong I’d say they were both much harder to break down than what we’re currently trying to do.

I was walking past a field earlier and heard a sheep which sounded like a bloke doing a sh*t impression of a sheep. It made me chuckle.

I get the feeling our best bet is to stand as far back as possible, having evacuated any of our own interests. Let the Taliban have it and go back to squabbling amongst themselves, on the understanding that we’ll be watching them and at the first hint of terror attacks against the west, we’re sending in the drones.

City could use a decent striker.

I just hope we and the US offer asylum to the translators, liaisons and their families and don’t screw them over by leaving them for the Taliban.
