You have to hand it to Crawford, picking Madrimov as his next opponent speaks volumes about his self - confidence. This is a harder fight than Spence imo. 

He’ll eventually wash up on Breen Sands to be met by some old fella in speedos and cowboy boots repeatedly shouting ‘Shithouse!’ at the clouds.  

it was blatantly unrealistic  I'm not advocating countries just give up , just set realistic expectations

Should Villa try and win the league?  What happens if you fall a bit short of your target and it takes a bit more time. You’re still closer to your ultimate aim.

The Central Russian Bank sets the interest rate tomorrow.  Its widely expected to hold the present 16% rate.  Record low unemployment and widespread labour shortages are fueling inflation.  Imported goods continue to spiral in price.  Record manufacturing outputs (ammunition) are bolstering the economy in the short term but killing it in the long term.   The ruble is untouchable for most of the world and is only being kept alive by false exchange rates and draconian currency control.   Good job Putin.  Keep it up.  👏  

Allowing fir differences from the to now   Dougie or Gareth Barry (2000's) - making the game look effortless - Barry was much more the complete player John McGinn or Dennis Mortimer (80's) - captains leading by example - I don’t think they are comparable Moreno (2023) or John Gidman (70's) - rampaging fullbacks - Gidman imo the best right full back we have ever had Ollie or Dwight Yorke - (2000's) - silky but deadly - Ollie without doubt - not only scores loads but makes loads too Leon Bailey or Ashley Young Mk1 - what are you going to get today? Bailey better at beating his man

The target is only bollocks if you do **** all to make it happen. 

not as insane as going into a coalition with the Greens    I think like the rest of the world they've realised the target was frankly bollocks and they need more time  .. at least the rest of the world did it without blaming England though 

Yep. Shipping containers are ISO containers. Standard sizes so dock cranes and ships and trucks etc anywhere in the world can carry them. Hence my pun. As far as using them to add capacity to VP, no. They can be used to make homes, or ground stations, or offices or whatever, but they’re freezing in winter and boiling in summer.

i want to agree.....but when that sunshine beer and bbq kicks in i'll still have that tournament buzz
