Wow! Altering the reported time of a phone call by 10 minutes to make his boss look more decisive. Not exactly a hanging offence.

At the risk of taking the thread off on a tangent, Bitterne Park Infants for me.

I am more concerned about the appointment of Tulsi Gabbard - she makes East-stand-nic look like a sheeple.

There are many thousands of politically appointed positions in the Federal beaurocracy, Joe Biden filled these with 'his own prople' following his 2021 inauguration. Previous Democrat Presidents appointed Supreme Court Justices in their turn, it may be unfortunate, from a particular perspective, that Ruth Bader-Ginsberg died during Trump's first Presidency, but there was no conspiracy around her replacement, other than that was some commentary that it should have been delayed until after the pending Presidential election. It has been asserted several times in recent Court cases that some actions taken as part of the duties of President of the United States are, indeed, above more commonly interpreted Law. If Trump goes too far the SC will rule against him.

Is that grounds for disqualification from public office ?

He can do exactly what he wants, within the constraints of the Constitution and the Supreme Court, which despite it's conservative political leaning will not permit him to exceed the powers of the Presidency, and I suspect that even a pro-Trump Congress would baulk at ripping out parts of the Constitution. Trump was elected with a manifesto, and it obviously appealed to enough of the electorate to put him in the White House. If he goes "too far" the States will challenge him in the Courts, or even bring in local legislation to overrule Federal statute. I read something yesterday that said he might even struggle to get his trade tariffd through the Senate, even with the GOP controlling it. EDIT: it's not as if Biden hasn't bypassed Congress and brought in Presidential decrees when he felt it necessary.

You do understand the principle of democracy ?

To settle this once and for all.......

No. ( Speaking as an 'efficiency saving' ).

'X’ is apparently in a very bad way financially.

Rich guy gives jobs to even richer guys with the intention of working out how to make the rich richer.

Whatever team we have next season it will still be worse than the other 2 teams that go down with us. Factor in teams such as Leeds and the other 'sleeping giants' and we will probably at best be competing in the free-for-all fight for the playoffs.

But we spent that fortune ON Championship standards.

Possible promotion next season would be dependent on whether Russ is still manager. If he is I don't think we would achieve it; RussBall will be well understood, from an opponent's perspective, and everybody we play will simply go with a high press and direct attacking. Yes our attack would look impressive from a Championship perspective, but it will still be the same lame, mindless defending, with Bazunu back in goal.

My wife is wondering whether Lineker leaving MOTD was in anticipation of a job vacancy opening at the head of the CofE.

Who would have thought the Archbishop of Canterbury would go before Russell Martin?

"I'm only telling you what the spirits are telling me".

Why should the head of the CofE resign when the Pope won't ? The report into institutional abuse in New Zealand is truly shocking.

2 complete myths; the Romans and British were constantly fighting somewhere around their Empires, either to keep 'barbarians' out or to suppress internal dissention. In either case it was fine if you were part of the governing elite, but the Great Unwashed were too busy scrabbling to survive to notice how well off they were.

Wasn't it the vacuum cleaner salesman ?

Bring back the Black Death. Let people have a taste of real "bad times".

We had as many shots on target against Man City as we had against Everton and Wolves combined, ( 2 ). In 270 minutes of football we had a total of 4 shots on target, ( though probably approaching 1500 passes ).

MK Dons .... 1.3 goals per game conceded Swansea ..... 1.44 goals per game conceded Saints ( last season ) ..... 1.37 goals per game conceded ( league games ) So far this season .... 1.9 goals per game conceded ( league games ) He has consistently proved to be shit at managing defences. Without a goal threat his propaganda football is a sham.
