It isn’t just Trump who needs to grow a pair, it is The West. If we all took a much tougher line with Putin from the start we wouldn’t be where we are today. Enough is enough. Call his bluff. He can’t take on the whole of Europe/NATO without the risk of launching WW3 and even he isn’t that crazy.

Just what we need, a further move towards the concentration of our media into fewer hands. It won’t make much difference to the Telegraph though as it has become an up market version of the Mail. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/nov/22/daily-mail-owner-strikes-deal-buy-telegraph-titles-rothermere

The last time I saw Southampton play Charlton at The Valley they hammered us 6-2. It has taken many years but revenge is sweet! 🥳

They are both doing the jobs on an interim basis so it is safe to assume that Eckert would go back to the u21 job and Lallana will go back to his coaching job (if the new manager wants him of course).

By the way, it is spelt two not too 😉

If I knew what the hell you were talking about you might have a point. I am not going to spend my time trying to track down some random question. I have asked you nicely to repeat it and you haven’t bothered to do so, yet you copy other posts here. Why don’t you just save us both some time and copy and paste the question here (assuming that you are seriously interested in my response and not just using this as another of your wind ups)?

It isn’t funny nic, in fact it is quite sad.

What link? What page? If I knew what you were talking about we might make some progress. Why do you find it so difficult to just ask the bloody question again so we can get it sorted and move on? And WTF are you talking about my “terrorist mates”? You have really lost the plot.

Ukrainians are talking about fighting on with shovels. Kind of puts into perspective the a-hole who is trying to sell them down the river who bottled out of fighting against Communism due to “bone spurs.”

It’s hardly a robust agreement and you are right about Trump. No other US President has been so much in the pocket of the Commies or have bailed on NATO. Some achievement for the man who is supposed to be the protector of The Free World.

When this started the position was that Putin cannot be allowed to win. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for the rest of Europe. If Trump does bail on Ukraine, the rest of us need to step up. Putin is banking on NATO being to scared to front him up. It needs to show that it isn’t.

But with proper and sustained support they could make it so difficult for Putin that he would need to back off. Trump is putting zero pressure on Putin to retreat or give up invaded land. You seem to forget that Russia are losing thousands in the meat grinder too. If Trump stood squarely behind Ukraine things would be very different. Once Trump had humiliated Zelensky in the WH it was pretty obvious which side Trump is on.

From what Zelensky is saying if they don’t agree to the deal Trump will walk away. He can stick the Nobel prize up his fundament if he hangs Ukraine out to dry.

When presenters on TV say, “It’s goodbye from xxxx and it’s goodbye from me. Goodbye.” You have already said goodbye so why say it again? 😖

Further embarrassment for Farage and Reform. https://www.ft.com/content/99598829-e739-4661-9381-c8d82fa31e8e

A laughing emoji is not answering a question nic. For someone who kicks off about people not answering your questions you have a poor record yourself. I’ll say it for the last time, if you want me to answer a question that you say I haven’t answered just tell me what it is. That shouldn’t be too hard for you should it? Safer or less safe? I feel like I have woken up on the film set of Marathon Man being grilled by Dr. Christian Szell.

I’ll say this one more time. I do not read all of your posts and I have answered the questions of the posts I have read, as far as I can recall. I have no idea what you are talking about when you say safer or less safe. It isn’t difficult. Ask me the proper, full question again and I shall answer it. Stop playing silly games.

This idea that SR influence who plays is a bit odd. Still dropped Stephens and Baz but Eckert brought them back. It seems to me that the coaches are making these decisions which is not unreasonable given their job depends on getting these things right.

He has a problem because he thinks that Mamdani is a “communist” yet he has been sucking up to Xi who is….. you guessed it, Communist. Great guy, great guy.

You wouldn’t like it Whelk. The conversation would be far too woke for your taste. 😉

Not surprising in the least, but pretty damning. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/20/too-little-too-late-damning-report-condemns-uk-covid-response

We are where we are. I don’t think anybody imagined that the USA would become Russia’s bitch but until Trump either gets what’s coming to him or croaks we have to rely on the rest of NATO, just like everyone else. And I know that you don’t agree, but we should be more worried about the effects on the country caused by global warming in the next few years than being invaded by Russia.

I think his is somewhere in the middle to cover all bases.

What is al of this free stuff you are talking about? You sound more like a Farage shill everyday. It has nothing to do with “illegal immigrants” and net zero. You may not have noticed but things have changed a lot since the good old days of the Empire.

I don’t disagree. But blaming welfare and Net Zero is a stretch. Would you pay higher taxes for the military? People don’t even want to pay higher taxes for the NHS and public services apparently.
