  1. Hassan looks good but all pretty flat so far.
  2. Awol

    Douglas Luiz

    Aston Martin. I think this guy will turn out to be the best signing of the summer.
  3. I think we’ll get both in. Having necessary cover in every position is good risk management against relegation and spending more actually decreases risk.
  4. We’re going for some Barca-esque total football approach, aren’t we? Starting to look like Purslow meant what he said in those interviews about going out to win every game. By August this might be the most exciting side in my lifetime.
  5. **** the dog. Trezequet - Wesley - Benrahma. Imagine that...
  6. Wesley, Targett, Jota & Guilbert all looking like great business.
  7. Pretty clear from everything coming out of the club that a signing like this wouldn’t even be considered. Sturridge fails every criteria of a new recruit.
  8. **** off, really? That’s hysterical!!
  9. Our squad is thinner than numbers suggest, but the 1st choice back four looks promising.
  10. Steer, Bree, Hause, Konsa, Targett, Hourihane, Grealish (C), O'Hare, Jota, El Ghazi, Wesley. Different team 2nd half.
  11. Bournemouth also want Butland (according to Sky report), so we might not want to fill their pockets with cash for Mings before that deal is done - assuming we are actually in for Butland.
  12. I’m saying it wouldn’t be off the table in those circumstances, all would hinge on the approach taken by Dublin - in the hypothetical and hopefully unlikely scenario that Republicans choose violence over democratic means.
  13. Agreed, threatening violence isn’t okay. Civil disobedience & peaceful protest are in any case far more effective ways to pressure a government. Violence is the reason why, 20 weeks into the protests, Macron can’t compromise with the yellow vests.
  14. I was thinking more the Republic than Belfast. Safe haven in a neighbouring state is a key requirement for the survival of terrorist groups (that one is from Afghan, not Somalia). Nodding sympathetically when people threaten the return of the IRA to get their own way politically, is a rather wonderful encapsulation of the Remainer mindset.
  15. I expect you’ll have no problem when the Tories topple May, install a new PM and just crack on - because you know, they can.
  16. But you did say poo in a foreign language, so I kinda got your point anyway. This gaff is a coven of Remainer harlots and always has been. That’s why it’s occasionally fun to check back in.
  17. Yeah, Chukka for President - Anna for weights and measures.
  18. If the cabinet, or a substantial minority (say 10+ ministers) say ‘you go or we do’ she’d be forced to resign. There’s already 18 gapped junior ministerial posts she can’t fill. Add 10 cabinet ministers and there’s no government. If, for example, Macron said no to a long extension but that he’d sign off on 4 weeks for both sides to do final no-deal prep’ then she's out the next day. Her Parliamentary and wider party now hate her after the Corbyn stunt. Tbh it’s all so fluid who can really say how various scenarios play out? It’s seems likely to me that nothing at all is set in stone.
