Why's he got his hat on indoors?

Reminds me of a tale of a Sergeant Major chastising a young soldier at some Royal event in Westminster Cathedral, who'd forgotten to remove his beret. "Take your hat off in the house of the Lord...word removed".

He seems to wear it a lot when he's out. He was sat next to my manager a few weeks ago in a Wacky Warehouse in Manchester with a cap on a few weeks ago. 

Thinking about it, I should get a copy of that photo and say it was taken in the one in Fradley or something. Get loads of 'clout' on social media.

Nothing. We sacked him.

Unless I'm missing something, the post was referring to Beale and not Critchley surely?

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned but multiple Russian sources have reported that apparently there was a New Year's HIMARS strike on a school where the Russians were housing their mobilized troops along with a large amount of ammunition. Sounds like those troops were all but wiped out.

I don’t know much about him either apart from he seems to have a huge amount of money (bragged to Greta on Twitter about having 30 odd high performance cars). Where did all his money come from?

From what I can tell he had various businesses but when he started to gain social media fame he started some online subscription for $50 a month which was supposed to be some kind of course on how to make lots of money and supposedly has experts in crypto etc providing content. It's very reminiscent of those guys who used to charge a fortune for seminars in how to get rich but the reason they were rich was because people kept paying a load of money to them to find out how to get rich.

Of course, if it is proven that he has been involved in human trafficking then that would be another explanation into how he has amassed his fortune.

I have not the slightest idea who this Andrew Tait is, other than a total bellend, judging by his behaviour. Related to Paul Tait, of T shirt "fame", perhaps.

He was actually a good kickboxer but that isn't why he's famous, nor is he famous for his appearance on Big Brother. He is actually famous for saying a load of misogynistic stuff on social media and gaining a load of fanboys from it. From what I can tell he's the new Alt- Right darling so he seemingly being arrested on human trafficking charges doesn't come as any great surprise.

The Chief Whip has resigned apparently.  Oh dear.  

And the deputy

What an absolute shambles they are.

Wolves are looking for a manager. His chance to complete the set.

More chance of him going to Walsall than Wolves. I know he's like a turd that doesn't flush but I do the one thing he seemed to have before is the reputation that he can take a struggling championship team and make them competitive, he's done the complete opposite here and I doubt anyone significant will be calling him up anytime soon.

Weirdly Nyland has ended up at RB Leipzig. Pretty impressive considering he was struggling to get a game in the Championship not so long ago

Wow they've actually done it, the Crimean bridge has been attacked

Sounds like the Russians are trying to blame a fuel tank for the fire (and presumably for the road bridge completely collapsing)

Feels like Dagestan is definitely the place to keep an eye on. Lots of videos doing the rounds of protesting there and very different to the protests going on in Moscow and St Petersburg where there has always been much more of an anti-war movement.

He definitely scored against Forsst and Blackburn in the championship, not sure if there were any others though.

Just checked, Derby away as well.

So is that fact about our last FK scored true? I know the Hourihane one VS Newcastle wasn't technically direct but surely he bagged one in The Championship?

If the stat is PL only then it's not quite as shocking considering we had three years out of the league.

He definitely scored against Forsst and Blackburn in the championship, not sure if there were any others though.

And as if by magic a Pro-Ukrainian annexation and mobilisation rally in Moscow yesterday

There will be no popular uprising any time soon

I can just imagine how they got people to go to this, just invite them from the street!

'Do you want to be mobilised? No? Then go to this pro-mobilisation rally or the letter's in the post'

Looks like it's been a terrible day for the Russian Air Force. The Ukrainians claim to have shot down 4 planes and 5 UAVs. Normally I would take these claims with a pinch of salt but there's video footage of at least 2 planes and one helicopter being hit.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about the air support taking more risks because of Ukrainian successes and it looks like this is the upshot of it.

Fighting to refuse to fight  

Speaking of which

Interesting that Yevgeny Prigozhin is now so openly admitting to his involvement in Wagner. And now this:

I wonder how long it will be until one of Putin's inner circle makes a move on him.

Seemingly the prisoner swap involves a large amount of the Mariupol defenders.

Where they will get picked up by a taxi driver and driven to the middle of nowhere and dumped. It's happened at least twice already, there ws even a court case where the taxi drivers defence appears to have been little more than "they were Russian" and the jury aquitted him

EDIT: The serious answer is Bribe, Bribe, Bribe and Bribe some more

I mean I'm sure it's happened but there's a very large ex-pat Russian community in Tbilisi now (so much so it's driving up house rental prices) and from what I've seen if you show some anti-war sentiment then you get on ok. 

I wonder how you can avoid conscription in Russia. Something like bone spurs? I sense an awful lot of people will be planning a family trip to Georgia shortly.

I know, Twitter doesn’t seem to know. He actually slaps her hand out of the way. I wonder if he was only shaking mens hands.

He shook a woman's hand in the video.

Bet she is gutted though. Set up a recording on sky q so she could tell the grandchildren that she was at the Queen's funeral and instead she's featuring on a thread on VT where all we do is take the piss without a shred of decency. Poor woman.

So many tanks. That is an expensive amount of equipment to lose. What would the Ukrainians do with that? Would they paint a Ukrainian flag on it and use it against the Russians or just destroy it?

Unfortunately this is an old video of a maintenance facility in Crimea.

Barrow

It can't be a coincidence that yet again the 4 worst players on the pitch are the 2 full backs and the 2 central midfielders. His narrow formations just don't work.
