Another day, another embarrassment for the Trump administration. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kristi-noem-habeas-corpus-senate-b2754685.html

You should have been on here when it all kicked off then. I think you would have a different attitude. I was called an anti semite because I said that nothing happens in a vacuum after the attack by Hamas and that there were no guys in white hats and black hats in this situation.

If I had said this a year ago this thread would be full of replies calling me an anti-Semite. It shows just how thinks have descended into a new hell that there has been no response. The actions of Netanyahu’s army, increasingly since the fateful events of 7th October, are starting to make the antisemite card unplayable. If Starmer and Lammy had made these comments this time last year there would have been an outcry from certain, very loud, quarters that they were anti semites. What we have, very plainly now, is someone in Netanyahu who will go down in history with other infamous, murderous aggressors. It was clear from the beginning that he was using the Hamas attack as an excuse to destroy Gaza and to take more land in the West Bank. An Israeli caller on a phone in show this morning made the point about how Israelis crave land and how they are using 2000 years of oppression to try and mitigate their behaviour on the world stage. It has taken too long, but perhaps now the West will stop arming a nation that is out of control morally and legally under international law.

I am not sure that they are trying to be seen as being geniuses. The object is to recruit someone who is going to be a good fit for the club going forward. There is a tranche of managers who will always be out of our reach which leaves a list of managers who have experience but have been sacked a number of times for not achieving and a list of up and coming managers who have potential. Some clubs go for tried and tested, some go for potential. There is a risk with both. I don’t have a problem with going for potential. The next tranche of higher level managers is out there. It is just a question of finding them.

It is a shame that tougher action hasn’t been taken against Netanyahu sooner. Not sure why it has taken so long to realise what is going on here and that he doesn’t plan to stop the killing and destruction any time soon. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czxy19n4kpyo.amp

Good job. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3v5926yeqro.amp

Didn’t Rohl leave under dubious circumstances? If that was the case, did we ever find out what they were?

That isn’t my point and I’m sure you know it. You used to stalk me. Then you stalked Farmer. Is it my turn again?

Fair enough.

There are plenty of people who are “shit at writing English” on here too. So what? Can we not comment about them either? You know exactly the point I was making. It had nothing to do with his wife and everything to do with the poster. You just chose to ignore the obvious and turn it into something else. For all I know, his wife (if she exists as I still think this account is a wind up) has better English than I do. I’ll say it again and for the last time - the poster tells us that he is smarter than the rest of us yet his post was very badly written and not something you would expect from someone as “smart” as him. He previously brought his (alleged) Asian wife into the debate when using that as evidence that he is not racist. I get things that I post thrown back at me all the time. Funny that a few of you get so precious about this poster. Or are you just using him for your own purposes? I expect Turkish is getting bored with his long running spat with MLG and is desperate for fresh meat.

It’s amazing isn’t it. The same people who got upset about BLM or players taking the knee are now calling out making light of not having the perfect use of a language as racism. I guess we have Donald Trump to thank for the fact that any form of attack is justifiable even if it makes you a steaming hypocrite in the process.

You had better avoid the manager’s thread Weston. There is an awful lot “gingerism” going on there. How exactly is it racist to make a point about poor use of English anyway? People make fun at other people’s attempt at foreign languages, or even there own, all the time. Sacha Baron Cohen has made a career out of it. Would you call him a racist? Face it. You were just desperate to have a dig. I think that most people with a few brain cells to rub together could see that I was poking fun at the poster (who claims to be smarter than the rest of us) and not his wife.

Every manager appointment comes with a risk (granted, some more than others!). Despite the dreadful season this is still a good job prospect for certain types of managers. Of course we are never going to attract those at the very top of the food chain.

And you never do? Didn’t you call me a racist earlier for asking the question of, supposedly, the smartest bloke on here who had just delivered a very badly written post whether his wife (if she actually exists), who very possibly doesn’t have English as her first language, had written it? If that is not playing the poster, what is? Anyway, you are getting likes from nic, which speaks volumes.

I don’t think you can call saying “alternatively” an agreement. My point was that we already had a perfectly good deal whilst members of the EU and now are trying to scrape together smaller, less positive deals. I don’t see anything in his post agreeing with mine.

Just heard a couple of fishermen moaning about the deal. No mention of the fact that it will make it easier to sell their catches to the EU countries. No mention either of the deal made in December to allow the UK to 300,000 tons of fish in the North Sea. Positive noises made from the fishing body in Scotland over the improved situation for the salmon industry.

We still haven’t made any deals that were anything close to what we lost when we left the EU. But, yay, we make make lesser deals with anyone we choose.

Only from the usual suspects, Little Englanders, right wing media consumers and tribalists. Which of these are you?

Bizarre that we are currently 4 places below Manchester United and 3 places below Tottenham yet are rock bottom with the second worst points total in the EPL.

Said what exactly? If I said it and you are so sure that I did, you will have absolutely no problem in proving it will you. Your problem is that, as a conspiracy theorist, you twist things in your mind to suit your own narrative and agenda. Be assured that if I had said that certain people need to be murdered, there are plenty of people here who would spend time finding these alleged posts. They don’t and you can’t because they simply do not exist. Trust me, if I thought that they should be murdered then I would have no problem in saying so. You don’t seem to grasp that there is a difference between wanting people in power out of power and having them murdered do you? Are you ever going to answer Badger’s question about Putin? Nic, this is clearly a wind up login. You seem to get your jollies from posting ridiculous guff on a football forum. Here’s a tip for you. Get a job, get a real wife, raise a family and get a normal life. You will find it so much more rewarding.

No surprise to see you go into bat for nutty nic. You want to turn a comment about someone who claims to be more intelligent than the rest of us into a comment about racism? Knock yourself out. How very “woke” of you. He was the one trying to make a virtue out of having an Asian wife. If you think that making a comment about someone struggling to use a different language makes them racist you would have a field day when we go abroad with friends and they take the piss out of my attempts to speak French/Dutch/Italian. I guess you used to turn off ‘Ello ‘Ello when it came on each week? Did you boycott the Pink Panther films? Did you write letters of complaint to Harry Enfield for making fun of Scoucers? I used to work with a guy from Manchester who was constantly making fun of my London accent. Does that make him, what, a Regionalist? There are constant references on this Board about Portsmouth supporters being “Skates” (based on them supposedly having sex with fish) and being inbred. I look forward to you calling the posters out in future. Are you the one behind east-stand-nic’s log in?

Good to see progress is being made on mitigating the damage done by the Brexit deal. The usual suspects will kick off again about “sovereignty” missing the point, yet again, that doing deals involves give and take. No change on the fishing agreement with the possibility of selling more of our fish to the EU is a good thing, surely? EU investing in our security industries must be a good thing. Freedom of movement for young people was a big loss (one of my daughters worked in Barcelona for several months a few years ago and benefited from it hugely) and it is hard to understand why anyone would have a problem with it. If they can do something that will make it easier to travel to the rest of Europe, that will be another step forward. The Little Englanders and right wing media will react in the same old way, telling us that we are giving in to Brussels. Perhaps it is time for these people to park their tribalism and think about what is best for the people of this country

“I have you many time wishing death om trump and many others.” Great use of English there by our resident holder of a giant intellect. I have already denied it, stupid boy. If you have so much evidence, show it. By the way, is your wife writing these posts for you?

Give it a rest Frank. We all know it’s you.

Let us be honest. No matter who the next manager is, if he doesn’t come flying out of the gates immediately he will be written off as rubbish and if he doesn’t get us promoted at the first attempt he will be a total disaster!
