3 of our next 4 PL matches are away; Brentford, Chelsea, and Leeds, with a home game against Wolves in between. Can see us with 15 points from 24 games played by the end of February.

Wait for the same shit in the Championship.

Should have got one last summer.

PL gotta get the right results.

Just the latest in a long string of poor performances. If you don't win your home league games you deserve to go down.

Where is Orsic ?

Baz obviously injured his right leg in the first half, kicking is worse than usual.

Apparently we have failed to score in the first half in 15 PL matches this season.

They would miss.

Anything but Earl Grey.

Following on....... Also, there are moves to try to get 82 upgraded T80s operated by the government of the Greek half of Cyprus moved to Ukraine. This is part of a 'domino' proposal whereby the T80s are replaced by Leopards from the Greek army, ( which would require German approval for their re-export ), and the Greeks then getting new Leo2s from the Germans.

Scholz has some personal issues with 'escalation', probably due to his party's pacifist history. Notwithstanding the large amount of hardware Germany has already sent or commited to, he sees tanks as a step too far. He initially put a caveat the supply of Leopard 2s in that other countries had to send MBTs before it could be allowed. The former Warsaw Pact members of NATO have been sending their Soviet era, ( updated and improved ), kit, but this then didn't suit Scholz who has now said that Germany would only send Leo's if the US sent Abrams', of which there are over 3000 in storage. At the same time there is a contractual clause that prevents other European Leopard users sending their tanks, ( of which there are several hundred ), to Ukraine without Germany's approval. ( The German Defence Minister says this is probably not necessary ). As of this evening there are protests in Germany asking that the Government "Free the Leopards", and Poland are said to be organising other Leopard users to send their tanks anyway, without German approval. As for other options: the Abrams, whilst an excellent weapon system, is heavy and requires an extensive logistics support train, the Challenger is similarly effective, but heavy and uses non NATO- standard ammunition. ( There are also not very many of them, as the UK has cut down it's effective strength, and the only other user is Oman ). The other European MBT is the French Leclerc, the production line for which, and hence the source of spares, was shut down years ago. Leopard is the best option, in terms of numbers, ammo, and spares, and suitability for the Ukrainian terrain, so hopefully Scholz can be leant on.

No, he won't. He is gash.

Ings obviously enjoys s bit of claret. ( Burnley, Villa, WHU ).

Hungary's view is that they are holding out for funds that they should already have had but are being withheld by Brussels in a dispute over political reforms. It is not 'greasing' anything.

Probably just playing to the domestic audience, showing that the threat is "real" as Russia fights to defend itself against NATO.

And he went on to say that what he wants is a new agreement with the EU, with closer economic ties, that will allow Brexit to actually work.

( Responding in the assumption you are referring to Thiel. In GM's case it is taken for granted. ) He obviously spent too much time engrossed in Tolkien fantasies as an acne'd nerdy teenager; Some of his company names; Mithril, Palantir, Anduril, and Valar.

How much worse would he feel if he finds out he has GM's approval ?

Correct !

Also, Ireland have free movement of workers with the EU, and common trading arrangements. Just imagine if we had had something similar.............

There is a video from a couple of days ago with Mick Lynch in front of the Commons Transportation Committee. When challenged by a Tory MP over the increase in funding given to the rail operating companies Lynch replied that that did not mean that money went into the industry - a lot went into dividends for the hedge funds investing in the companies and bonuses for senior managers. He also said that the Government is controlling the rail companies and their actions during the current dispute; any message from one of the 3 unions to an operating company has to go to the DFT, and the DFT then tells the company what the response has to be.

Rail workers are private sector, although the industry is effectively managed by the DFT.
