69 year old Robert F Kennedy Jr is intending to stand for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Given his family history, is this a brave move ?

3 sides to the equation: 1) NATO's, plus the others providing aid, appetite for continuation. Currently the ongoing degradation of Russia is serving both military and political outcomes. 2) Russia's ability to continue feeding manpower into the grinder whilst maintaining domestic support in the face of increasing casualty numbers - once they have to use more European recruits as opposed to Asiatic this will become harder. 3) Most importantly, Ukraine's ability to take offensive action and how effectively such operations are able to liberate more occupied territory. The latest allegations about Putin and his isolation from reality, plus the theories linking the St Petersburg bombing to warring factions jostling for power might point to the start of the endgame for the current Russisn leadership, but how a new regime might view the continuing war, who knows ?

Waiting for the mud to dry before Ukraine releases the Leopards. Considering that a couple of days ago there was a load of snow dropped on Donetsk and Luhansk, it will be a few weeks yet. Meanwhile, the meat grinder continues in Bakhmut.

M62, junction 24. Drive down into the town centre then turn left onto the ring road and left again after TESCO.

The BBC reporting on Marjorie Taylor-Greene outside the Court ahead of Donny's appearance; "Talking to Right Side Broadcasting Network's Brian Glenn, whom she is currently dating, Greene argued that Trump was "joining some of the most incredible people in history [by] being arrested today". "Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison," she said. "Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government.""

My wife is a City supporter, and if by kick off we are in the vicinity of a TV...........

Probably going to miss this one as our daughter and her partner are finally tying the knot.

The problem with being a GK is that you have to clear up everybody else's mistakes. If a CB misses a header, as per DCC against West Ham not even competing, there is the last line of defence. The GK has no such luxury, and laying so much criticism on such a young inexperienced player is a bit unfair. He is doing his best, he just isn't up to the PL yet. Playing behind our defence, he is probably shell-shocked. Blame the people who bought him as a first team starter, blame the 3 managers who have consistently picked him over McCarthy, and especially blame the coaches who are failing to identify and correct his weaknesses.

One reason Putin started the war, allegedly, was to stop the expansion of NATO. Today he officially extends Russia's border with the alliance by over 800 miles as Finland joins.

In January the Department of Health said there would be 800 new ambulances, "additional capacity", by the end of next year. Now it emerges that only 350 additional ambulances will be put into service, the other 450 will be replacements for existing vehicles.

The Republic of Tuva, a region in Asiatic Russia, is reinforcing the Russian army's logistical capacity by supplying 3000 horses. Meanwhile, a town in Kazakhstan, just across the border from Russia, where the population has been boosted by Russian immigrants, is now demanding autonomy and closer ties to Russia. Where have we heard this before ?

Coming from, not going to.

They know we will gift them a goal and then they just have to sit back in a tight defensive formation, safe because we have zero guile when it comes to breaking down tight, deep sitting teams.

Bazunu ? Perraud ?

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, it's just that I don't believe we have 10 outfield players of sufficient quality, and I include Onuachu and Orsic in that assessment, based on the little we have seen of them.

Perhaps, but the team has to have 11 on the pitch, and the other 6 outfield players would be the problem. Even JWP has looked below par, free kicks aside. People say we should start our strongest team, but allowing for injuries we would still have Bednarek and DCC at centre back. Whilst starting Onuachu and Orsic is a valid proposal, have either actually shown enough to infer that they might be part of the solution ?

The whole bloody squad are responsible. Regardless of which starting 11 are permed to start, they will still be unable to defend set pieces, too slow in midfield, and toothless in attack. Asking for a team that goes 'all out' for goals is a waste of time given it will be comprised of our players..

WTF is this about ?

The World was a different place before you were born Turks. I know, I was there.

Nature or nurture ?

But we still have to win probably 5 games out of the remaining fixtures. I think we can, but it is close to the Last Chance Saloon.
