We find it hard to break down teams who put everyone behind the ball, most teams do, that is why teams do it. Our style is better suited to teams who come out and attack us allowing us to operate in more space. Newcastle were very happy to give up possession after their second goal. It is frustrating watching the ball being rotated whilst the players try and find an opening but is lumping the ball into the “mixer” any less frustrating watching countless crosses getting headed away? We all want to see shots peppering their goal, but when you have got 10 we’ll drilled players in the way it really isn’t that easy.

Christ Batman, do you understand that the problem here is Russia not Germany?

So John Bercow gets banned from Parliament for life having been found to be a bully and a liar. Priti Patel and Boris Johnson next then surely?

You don’t have to be a “leftie” or “pinko” for this piece to resonate with you. You just need to have a modicum of human decency.

I take it that you have never read Orwell? Boy did he nail people like you and the people your like enable.

Why does Putin get to dictate what happens within independent countries?

The BBC news just broadcast pictures of dead bodies from the shelling including a child. Not seen that from the BBC before.

Not to worry chaps, Ben Wallace says that we have kicked Russian arses before and we can do it again, so all’s well!

If, as has been suggested, Putin continues to invade non NATO countries to expand his empire, at what point would you consider us policing a no fly zone? 0r are you content to see him steamroller other countries that aren’t members of NATO until he has gotten all that he wants?

There are two sides to every story of course and many shades of grey instead of black and white. I understand why Putin might want to make an issue of NATO expanding although it is a defensive rather than offensive alliance. What doesn’t stack up is any argument that Putin is a sane, rational man. His pronouncement of late have all the trappings of paranoia and a blinkered nationalistic sense of entitlement. I don’t know if years in power have corrupted him absolutely, but those who have met him say he has changed. He comes across now as a second rate Bond villain. That has nothing to do with the western media but everything to do with the way he presents himself and his actions. There is nothing in his concerns for Russia that couldn’t be addressed around the negotiating table. The West and it’s foreign policies are often far from perfect, but Putin has chosen armed conflict to try and return things to the way they were in the last century and speaks in the language of Hitler. No one is forcing him to lie to his own people. To say the media in the West have brainwashed us is nothing like the brainwashing that goes on in Russia. Putin is clearly a very dangerous man. It doesn’t need the Western media to paint him as a villain, he has done that himself.

Didn’t Diane Abbott say the same and get vilified for it?

Christ Batman, for someone who has spent years having a pop at foreigners this is rich, even by your standards! Have I missed something or is Anglo Saxon now on the banned list?

What is odd is that, out of the blue, you pluck two comedians who are not standard Anglo- Saxon types and ask if I find them funny. What isn’t odd is that you get support from Turkish. So before I answer your question perhaps you would be good enough to explain why you chose these two comedians out of the hundreds of others you could have chosen. In fact, why did you chose any? This thread is about people we don’t find funny. Seems very odd that someone would not just post about people they don’t find funny and ask others what they think of certain performers.

I thought they had been pulled?

Surely though they understand the difference between an exercise and shooting at live subjects with live ammunition and blowing up towns and cities!

With today’s sophisticated weaponry there is absolutely no excuse for indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets. For someone who is supposedly trying to liberate the country from its fascist rulers Putin seems to have an odd idea about how to get the people on his side. I hope the bastard gets what’s coming to him soon.

Gone from our screens? The BBC still reports daily on Covid.

It’s a funny old world. A person who claims that he is not who everyone knows he is tries to conflate two of the biggest despots in history with the honours system and a British Prime Minister whilst also spending his days trawling the internet to find things to denigrate other European countries with and has spent years running down the regime and religion of those Tony Blair went to war with. Yep, it’s a laugh a minute.

Same old same old. You conveniently forget the part your party has played in sucking up to Russian money. To say that Germany has been financing this war is pure Batman xenophobic rhetoric. Putin had been in power for over 20 years and was originally seen as someone the West could do business with. Putin was clearly playing a long game, either that or he has gradually lost it and the rest of us have to change our policies towards him accordingly. It’s just a shame that the West (that includes us Batman) weren’t so decisive when Putin annexed the Crimea.

You are priceless Batman. You have been a Tory suck up/apologist all the time you have been on here and under every different log in name. You also see everything the EU, especially Germany, does is bad. You have long been a busted flush yet still you peddle the same old shtick.

Neither of which had anything whatsoever to do with anything I had posted previously. Hmmmm. Odd.

She is one person. She is not and was not the Labour Government. As has been said, listen to Starmer if you want to know where Labour stand.

That is Diane Abbot, not a Labour Government. Thanks for the mention though, I guess it keeps you away from knocking Johnny Foreigner for a while. How do you feel about the Russian money that has been flooding into London under your Tory government for years?

You seem to have morphed from Delldays/Batman into a Putin Cyber Bot spreading anti EU/NATO propaganda. Perhaps you have been a Russian Plant all along?

Having gone to all the trouble of creating a new persona on here Delldays/Batman, the least you could do is to raise your level of put downs to above your usual 6th form efforts. Little wonder the navy put you in the galley and away from the rest of the crew. A six month tour of duty must have seemed like a year for your poor comrades. So back to your attempted put down, here is a little hint. When millions of people think that the PM and his cabinet are useless, it is a bit pathetic calling out just one of their critics. It might make you feel better about yourself and ingratiate you to the forum WUM, but it serves no other purpose. Just as long as you are comfortable with the most inept PM in our lifetime leading the country in what could be the biggest threat to this nation since WW2, all’s well eh?
