Weren’t the Norsemen the first Europeans to set foot in the New World? Perhaps Denmark should suggest they swap Greenland for the USA?

Even nicer if you had done some background reading about the Chagos situation.

Who will be the next person blamed for Saints’ poor form?

I had no idea who this bloke was before we signed him up and have no idea if it is a good appointment or not. He may well be crap, but according to his CV he is not inexperienced. At Crystal Palace for over 10 years ending up as head coach. WBA - assistant head coach. ATK - Indian Super League. Then manager roles - Bristol Rovers win percentage 25% Swindon Town play off semi final, win percentage 50% Charlton win percentage 31% Colchester United win percentage 26% I have absolutely no idea how this appointment will work out, but shouldn’t we wait and see before we get the pitchforks out again?

You can hear the champagne corks popping in the Kremlin from here.

He is right, but does he want to push it that far if a NATO country calls for NATO assistance? If the EU stands firm would Trump have the balls to go against the NATO agreement and launch an attic on another NATO signatory? https://europeannewsroom.com/eu-backs-greenlands-sovereignty-after-trump-threat/ He has a history of backing down when things get too difficult. It’s all a bit bizarre anyway. If he wants to mine there he can apply for licences and if he wants to increase his bases there he only has to ask. To state the obvious, Denmark (Greenland) are part of NATO as are the USA so it is in their interest to support any NATO defence plans. Trump thinks that “the West” is his to do with as he pleases. Time for Europe to tell him otherwise.

Rosenior landed himself a 6 year contract too! And to think that he was supposedly on our list at one point.

You find these people funny nic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriotic_Alternative

So Donnie is lining up Columbia for more of his special treatment. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/jan/04/nicolas-maduro-jailed-us-attack-venezuela-donald-trump-reaction-latest-news-updates-live He needs to be careful. These drug cartels are not going to take kindly to him messing with their businesses. I wonder where Donnie used to get his coke from? https://www.timesofisrael.com/report-trump-hosted-cocaine-fueled-parties-with-underage-girls/amp/

He has just proved again that he doesn’t understand basic English. It takes a special kind of idiot to ignore the “point scoring” in the post I referred to and interpret my response as “point scoring.” But then, our nic is “special”

Equally as bad if they insist on using three at the back.

Especially as the very people who kidnapped him from his own country used….machine guns.

If Maduro is convicted on drugs charges, could he expect a pardon from Trump? https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5671135-pelosi-trump-venezuela-maduro-charges/amp/

An excellent read and an example of why Farage and his cronies are becoming more popular here. "I’ve been watching an absolutely heroic amount of pearl-clutching lately from people who insist that J.D. Vance would somehow be “worse” than Trump once Trump’s inevitable political and biological expiration arrives. Let’s get something straight: it has never been about Trump, not for one second. Trump is just the mascot. The real story is the people who finally saw themselves in him and felt validated by what they saw. I actually believe most of them will drift away when the cult collapses, like embarrassed fans of a one-hit wonder. Many of them will swear they were never really into him at all. The MAGA amnesia is going to be epic. I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016 and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic, morally vacant, and psychologically mangled he is. I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. He wasn’t a candidate. He was a mirror. If you were a racist, you found your guy. If you were a misogynist, you found your guy. If money was your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart was armored shut, you found your guy. If you mocked disabled people, you found your guy. If you hated intelligent people, you found your guy. If you were a rapist, you found your guy. If you enjoyed golden showers with Russian sex workers, you found your guy. If you’d done absolutely nothing to confront your emotional wreckage, you found your guy. If you were a serial cheater, you found your guy. If you were a perpetual bankrupt, you found your guy. If you stiffed honest workers, you found your guy. If you were a conman, you found your guy. If you mocked people’s appearances, you found your guy. If you longed for a toxic Daddy, you found your guy. If you were dissociated and disembodied, you found your guy. If you were unconscionable in every economic dealing, you found your guy. If you lied as naturally as breathing, you found your guy. If you’d never eaten a green vegetable, you found your guy. If you were a white supremacist, you found your guy. If your ego contained a hole so large not even the presidency could fill it, you found your guy. If you were a sociopath who cared not one molecule about other humans, you found your guy. If he had only two of these traits, he never would have won. He won because he had hundreds of them, and millions of people recognized themselves in at least one. This has never been about Trump. It has always been about the people who finally had their worst instincts validated. Trump didn’t create the cruelty, he licensed it. He handed out permission slips for hate. He is merely a symptom of a far deeper disease: collective toxicity. If there is one sentence that explains Trump’s power, it is this: “He says the things I’m thinking.” That’s the part that should chill the spine. Who knew that tens of millions of Americans were thinking such unconscionable things about their fellow citizens? Who knew how many white men felt so threatened by women and challenged by minorities that they were ready to torch democracy to feel big again? Who knew that after decades of apparent progress on race and gender, so many people were living in seething resentment, waiting for a demagogue to legitimize their worst selves and convert their bitterness into political power? Perhaps we were living in a fool’s paradise. We aren’t anymore." – Michael Jochum, Not Just a Drummer: Reflections on Art, Politics, Dogs, and the Human Condition.

A friend of ours has a couple of his original paintings hanging on her walls. And yes, they aren’t anything special.

We are exactly where we deserve to be and without an inspired transfer window this January I can’t see that changing very much.

Whilst I look for the world’s smallest violin, it is worth reflecting on just how much the Telegraph has morphed into the Daily Mail over the last couple of years.

Nic laughs at everything that he doesn’t understand, which is pretty much everything, and at posts about dead women and children.

Anyone seen the film The Producers by Mel Brooks?

Hilarious. I hope that you don’t get prostate cancer.

Part of Maduro’s indictment accuses him of possessing machine guns and explosive devices. 1. As Head of State it is unlikely that it is illegal for him to posses such items in his own country. 2. He was kidnapped by American forces using, you guessed it, machine guns and explosive devices. 3. Given the amount of firearms available to buy in the USA, he sounds like he would be right at home there.

Anyone got anything positive to say about him?

Sorry to hear that Whitey. Sounds nasty. I have been on drugs for a long time that are supposed to shrink the prostate? No needles so far thankfully. I hope the biopsy goes well for you.

A great twist to bring in the secret traitor but have they ditched the idea already with the secret traitor joining the regular two next week? Unless they plan to bring in a new secret traitor now? Very impressed with some of the Faithfuls so far. Early days still but some are right on the money.
