Interesting programme on the other night by Dan Snow which pointed out that the German ships took more hits but stayed afloat whereas many of ours sunk with fewer hits. Also that tactics/communications had barely changed since Nelson's days.

Is it just me, or do others think that people who feel the need to end their posts with "HTH" suffer from passive aggressive tendencies?

Probably came about because he was pictured sitting next to Shane Long's agent (who is probably an agent of a number of others in the game too).

If you had heard some of the arguments I have heard about either staying in or leaving the words "surprisingly intelligent" would not apply.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume that David Mitchell actually speaks for a great many people. This is a hugely important decision that could end up swinging on the votes of xenophobes.

Agree about Drinkwater. Poor decision.

I don't know why you bother either Whelk.

Good, so you are just as worried about being killed by other terrorists too. Good boy.

This says it all for me. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/29/eu-referendum-parliament-leaders-david-cameron-david-mitchell

So you didn't downplay the threat from the IRA. Cheers.

If you have forgotten go back a few pages.

I think Lawrie Mac accused him of cheating (as in not putting in the effort) after a defeat and their relationship was never the same again.

Calm down dear, it is only a football internet forum. So you are worried about an IRA attack on mainland Britain too? Well done. You are right to be as the word from "your part of the world" is that a threat is "substantial."

You are very selective about who you go after.

Surely any attack like this is abhorrent, or is it only those that take place on Christians or by Muslims we need to worry about? These things happen all the time as you well know, and are not just perpetrated by Muslims. I am not dismissing anything. I have said plenty of times that any of these acts are abhorrent, however caries them out. I just wonder why you ignored this attack in Brazil when it was reported yesterday but jump straight on the Muslim news?

Perhaps you need to have a word with your pals in MI5, Caped Crusader.

Did you or did you not say that we were at little risk from the "loons" as you call them in NI?

You seem to have taken over from Batman as our Bad Muslim reporter. Well done. Just to show again that it isn't just Muslims that have issues with women here you go... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-36404325

Of course it was a banal question. It was in response to a banal point. Trust me, I am not in the least excited about worrying about any type of terrorist. Why would I be? Why would anyone be? Terrorism in any shape or form is abhorrent surely? So I am not sure what the problem here is. Unless of course you are happier to be blown up by an Irish nationalist rather than a Muslim? Batman would have it that we are at little risk from terrorists in/from NI. MI5 do not seem to agree. I (and another poster who you seem to ignore) made that point. I was not excited about it, in fact if anything it makes me very sad that there are still these issues in NI after all these years. At the same time it seems a bit naïve to think that if only we could deal with these pesky militant Muslims we could all sleep safely in our beds.
